Editorial Review:
A safe, effective, and revolutionary program for lowering homocysteine levels and cutting your risk of heart disease
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Kilmer S. McCully explains what is really behind the epidemic of heart disease. For many years, clogged arteries have been inaccurately viewed as the cause, rather than a symptom, of heart disease. Now, McCully shows you how to cut your risk of heart disease by controlling the real culprit, homocysteine. Considered one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in recent years, McCully's findings have been validated by numerous large-scale studies. The Heart Revolution: - Challenges the long-held assumption that lowering cholesterol is the key to preventing heart disease
- Explains how eating vitamin B-rich food can control homocysteine levels
- Lays out a plan with menus for putting more B vitamins in our diet
- Discusses how food processing and additives compromise our health
- Explains how costly cholesterol-lowering medicines can actually harm our health
Eat Your Way to a Healthy Heart
Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onions, Veal with Wine and Mushrooms, Guacamole, Omelettes. This is not your typical diet program. Dr. McCully offers real food choices with fresh ingredients available just about everywhere. The focus is on delicious foods that will leave you satisfied. The purpose is to make sure you're getting enough of the vitamins needed to prevent heart disease—B6, B12, and folic acid, as well as essential, phytochemicals, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential oils. It's easy to follow this plan as it relies on foods you want to eat with little preparation time and tons of variety.

If I would have read this book sooner I probably wouldn't have had a heart attack last year. Our current dietary government guides are more harmful than good.Statin Drugs: Side Effects and the Misguided War on Cholesterol
Rating:  - The problem/solution is more than a single factor
As a surgeon who is averse to giving patients most medicines ("Heart Frauds" and "Cholesterol Myths" are 2 of my favorite books), I nevertheless reject any uni-factorial "cure" for heart or most other diseases. It's no more appropriate to focus exclusively on homocysteine than on cholesterol. Human health and disease are related to a huge number of factors and we have an inkling of only a few of them. The only unequivocal 'truth' is that lifestyle modifications (Mediterranean-type eating rather than ... Read More
Rating: - A MUST READ !
This book is a must read for anyone concerned about his/her cholesterol level.......especially if your medical professionals are solely focussed on lowering them as the only rational strategy for good health. Kilmer McCully does a great job of adding balance to the medical community's current enslavement to the cholesterol=heart disease theory, and in the process demonstrates again how the world of science tends to banish those whose breakthrough insights don't fit the mainstream mold. Fortunately for ... Read More
Rating: - Important Information About Treatment for Heart Disease
The book logically presents information suggesting that there is a simple preventative treatment for heart disease. The author writes to the lay person, explaining the lack of information supporting the status quo - the supposedly heart-healthy low fat diet - and supporting his homocysteine hypothesis. The only short-coming of the book is in the final chapters, where the author over reaches the information presented and suggests control of homocysteine levels may be a cure all for a wide variety of conditions, ...

Rating: - Still reading
I just received my book and have yet to read more than 30 pages. So far, I find the material interesting and the arguments convincing. More than anything, I wanted to comment on the review by "a reader"...and his or her suggestion that readers would be better off skipping the book and instead seek established medical advice. Just go to quackwatch.com, well known debunker of less than scientific studies and bogus health and nutrition theories, and read how much credence they give to the same ideas espoused in this ...
