Interesting read - Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease
 
Just got this and felt it was worth sharing on the forum for those who are interested. It really supports so much of what we now know to be true about how the body works and how to best support it. Please don't shoot the messenger!

my personal physician (SON) has been telling me this for years. the hard part eating out is such a social affair it becomes difficult to give it up. when we prepare are own food we do it right.

I read several books on this subject and I agree wholeheartedly. But, but I've stopped arguing with people about it. It does no good. The medical community and the government have convinced people that eggs are the culprit.

Our gastroenterologist just told my husband the same thing. Now he happily eats an egg every day.

The author's license was revoked for malpractice.

I agree and we read the same books. Just a few weeks I brought up the topic of INFLAMATION in the thread about blood test results.

Yup....I with the article! I too have read a number of articles and books re: this subject which corraborates what this doctor writes about. Read books like Wheat Belly, Total Health, Cholesterol Clarity, Grain Brain and others! I refuse to take statin drugs. There is no proof they cure heart disease. They do cause diabetes and stop your liver from working adequately...plus a plethora of other side-effects.

Wow, Kitty. Thank you for another take on this. Do you know anything about the Dr. Barrett who wrote the article on the former Dr. Lundell?

Geeze, who can you trust? It's scary. I guess I'll be relying on my doctor, who never wrote a book or sold a pill.

Here is my personal experience with statin drugs. Many years ago the target for cholesterol was 300. Mine was at 240 at the time. Also my family doctor indicated that with the ratio between my HDL and LDL they rarely saw problems with people like me. Go forward a year. Again my Cholesterol was measured at 240. Now all of a sudden my Family doctor is not happy with 240. We have to get that down he says. I'm going to put you on Lipitor. I said fine being young and naïve and trusting. So I take the Lipitor, 10 mg once a day. Did this for probably ten years. Then one day I start to get a pain in my shoulder. Doctor takes an x-ray looks like you may be getting a little arthritis. Here's a script for some Ibuprofen. The pain continues and I retire and move to Florida. My new doctor decides that my Cholesterol level at 190 is too high, it needs to go lower. So now 20 mg of Lipitor once a day. I keep this up again over a 10 year period. Mean while I get more pain in different areas, lower back, legs, shoulder still hurts now and then. My Cholesterol is great, down to 136. Doctor is a happy camper. But my day starts with 800 mg of IB and a rub down of my lower back with some Blue Emule. Again mostly my fault I should have said more. I just attributed it to getting older and arthritis. The abnormal became my normal. Then one day at the six month check up and Blood Test my doctor sees something that indicates my body may not be processing the statin any more. Stop taking the statin and get another blood test. I do and what ever they looked at started to go back down. The doctor cut my usage in half and we thought every thing was fine. Until I get another blood test. In the mean time I had changed Doctors. The new Doctor looks at the results of the last blood test. he says stop taking the statin for 6 weeks and get anther blood test. Everything goes back to normal. I'm now off the statin and guess what, I have no pain in my back, no pain in my leg, I no longer have to take 800 mg of IB to start my day, no more Blue Emule. I feel great. My Cholesterol is at 194. The doctor does not like my ratio between HDL and LDL but I'll take that instead of the pain I was having. I personally will never take another statin but everyone needs to make their own decision. I have changed my diet and I'm taking Zetia to help with the Cholesterol.

Based on Kitty's link, do you think he is a visionary or an opportunist?

How about "dangerous"?

I just googled Dr Stephen Barrett, he is a well known quack and a physiciatrist. Check him out. This is the author on Dr Lundell? Give me a break.
