Editorial Review:
Would you like to save yourself the indignity, inconvenience and foul taste of modern diet fads? Are you sick and tired of frittering away your money on heart medications that leave you feeling more wretched than ever? Do you spend frequent, precious hours jogging or pounding away at the gym? And despite all of this effort, are you still fatter and weaker than you want to be?
Then it's time to abandon the Modern Gospel of low-fat food and long-duration exercise as a path to heart health. We need the very opposite, says Al Sears, M.D. in The Doctor's Heart Cure. According to Dr. Sears, heart disease continues to be America's biggest killer - and obesity has reached epidemic proportions - because of the fad for low-fat diets and despite aerobics.
Your heart's salvation lies in reengineering the diet and exercise habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to fit our modern culture. What does this entail? To build a strong and resilient heart, says Dr. Sears, engage in brief, explosive bouts of intense exercise. Consume a diet rich in high quality fat, pasture-fed meat, free-range dairy, wild-caught fish and liberal helpings of low-glycemic fruits and vegetables. Avoid grain-based starches as best you can. And take appropriate supplements to counteract the nutritional deficiencies of modern produce.
As Director of The Center for Health and Wellness, an integrative medicine and anti-aging clinic in south Florida, Dr. Sears has used this plan to help more than 15,000 patients successfully reverse heart disease, build stronger hearts, manage their weight and abandon their heart medications. In The Doctor's Heart Cure, for the first time, Dr. Sears reveals his entire, proven program, so you too can safely build an impregnable heart.

Rating:  - Great Book on Health
Dr. Al Sears has a new concept about health and nutrition. Basically, you need to stay away from processed foods, bread, and unhealthy carbs. In addition, you need to do high intensity, short duration exercise. Get the heart pumping and stop doing low intensity long duration exercise. That type of exercise will actually make your body weak and increase your fat levels. According to Dr. Sears, some of the best foods you can eat are organic/wild fish, beaf, eggs, chicken, etc. Eat fruits, nuts, ... Read More
Rating: - Great for diabetics
I have been a diabetic for several years and have read multiple books. Many call for the traditional high fiber, low fat diet. I must say if you are not willing to follow the suggestions in this book, it will not be helpful. If you do decide to implement the recommendations you will see immediate improvement in glucose and cholestrol levels as well as increased energy levels.
Rating: - It's great to see my father enjoying life again...
Back in 2001, my father suffered a heart attack. He was 51 at the time and aside from arthritis pain, was otherwise healthy. There was a family history of heart disease, but he went for regular checkups and his heart had been in fine condition up until that point, his doctor had seen no previous cause for concern. It wasn't until a few months later that the media started talking about the medication Vioxx and it's link to heart attacks, etc. My father had been prescribed Vioxx just a few months prior ...

Rating: - Great Programs
I am a believer in Dr. Sears...I started out by purchasing the PACE book for myself and had such great success with the program. Could not believe how quickly I increased my stamina, reduced my body fat and just plain felt better. So excited that I found an exercise program that I could stick to with minimal efforts and maximum results I shared it with my family who to date has seen the same results. Because I was so impressed with Dr. Sears PACE program I decided to purchase Dr's Heart Cure and 12 ... Read More
Rating: - An Eye Opener
The book is the first book I ever read by Dr. Sears and it scared me straight about my health. I soon remembered the saying, not all is as it seems. But yet no one questions their primary care physician when statin drugs are being prescribed as if candy. I love this book, because it reinforced eating right, knowing your body and question everything. Which we all seem to have strayed from. This should be required reading...
