Book Reviewed: The Cure for Heart Disease: Truth Will Save a Nation by Dr Dwight Lundell 

The book, The Cure for Heart Disease, is a powerful awareness tool and is more than a medical guide. It uses a simple and readable language so that a layperson can easily understand the reason why heart problems are pandemic today.

Dr Lundell earned his MD degree from the University Of Arizona College Of Medicine. The book percolates his experiences of over two and half decades of successful practice as a heart surgeon in the State of Arizona. He endeavors, through this book, to prevent rather than cure heart problems. He feels that so much more would be achieved if prevention rather than cure would be the main focus of doctors all over the world.  

When asked what prompted Dr Lundell to write this book, he very candidly says, “In my career as a cardiac surgeon, I’ve performed over 5,000 heart surgeries. Most of these could have been easily prevented had the patients been given the right information.”  

Dr Dwight Lundell is a reputable and highly respected heart surgeon. “Dr. Dwight Lundell is the past Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery at Banner Heart Hospital, Mesa, AZ.  His private practice, Cardiac Care Center was in Mesa, AZ.  Recently Dr. Lundell left surgery to focus on the nutritional treatment of heart disease.  He is the founder of Healthy Humans Foundation that promotes human health with a focus on helping large corporations promote wellness, (and more importantly) he is the author of The Cure For Heart Disease and The Great Cholesterol Lie (books)”  

The Cure For Heart Disease: Truth Will Save A Nation book seems to be a hit with the masses owing to its simple language and maverick approach to prevent and eliminate heart disease. It challenges headlong the majority of pre-conceived notions regarding the causes for heart attack.  As Eleanor A Miller says in her review on 22 June 2009, “Information in this book should be read by everyone and heeded, (she goes on to say), I am already feeling better, I have more energy, move and walk faster, and I have only been heeding the advice for about a month. “

Eleanor goes on to say “Everyone needs to know this information now. The food industry is slowly killing us little by little. The food pyramid is all wrong and the low fat diet and high cholesterol is all a sham. They do not cause heart disease, inflammation does. Read the book.”

The question that you would want answered is whether this book is indeed reliable as there are many guides, reports, books out there that proclaim various things.  

Which one to believe?  

How do you know that Dr Lundell is talking sense?  

Here is what Dr Jennifer Muir Bowers, PhD in Nutritional Sciences says – “…Though I did not have the surgeon's perspective to see the inflammation in the cardiac system, other physicians and I discussed the inflammatory hypothesis that Dr. Lundell defends in this book. It makes scientific sense. His book provides convincing evidence to this effect. Scientific peer-reviewed journal publications are cited in the thorough annotated bibliography in the appendices”  

Dr Bowers further states “More importantly, for the lay person, this book provides excellent practical tips for conforming to the lifestyle that Dr. Lundell recommends. That is to say, he gives actual guidelines and strategies for grocery shopping, recipe adjusting, meal planning, eating out in restaurants, and supplementation (which are all detailed in a way that is clear and helpful). Dr. Lundell's "Inflammatory Quotient" food pyramid diagram is a simple way to represent the nutritional lifestyle changes necessary to prevent heart disease.” 

Too many people are dying because they do not know the right way to live or perhaps are doing things the wrong way. There is a great tendency to wait until it is too late. There are also other people who trust drugs that may or may not cause more harm than help, such as statins. When you read this book you will  find many things just simply fall into place; it feels like you are seeing the truth for the very first time. Whether you are a layperson or a medical practitioner, you cannot but agree with Dr Lundell.  

The way he explains why the past beliefs are wrong and the step-by-step guide on how to prevent heart disease is mesmerizing. At last, here is a book that takes the bull by the horns and explains clearly how and where the medical science has gone wrong. It is the simple way the truth is projected that makes this book priceless.

It is clear that this book answers some of the burning issues and concerns about the health of a heart and blows off many myths and popular beliefs that actually contribute to hurting rather than helping the heart.  

According to another comment on a wellness website “many of … these recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated. The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.”  

People who have read the book are thrilled with what they have learned. Julie Wheeler says,”This is an amazing book! I have bought copies for all my family and friends. Dr. Lundell has given the world a book that is easy and fun to read with information on how to live longer and be healthy in easy everyday ways. I highly recommend this book to everyone! Thank you Dr. Lundell for your research and wisdom”.

Wanda Marie in her testimonial clearly states what this book actually does – it saves lives; and this is exactly I believe what Dr Lundell endeavored to do when he applied himself to write this book. This testimonial among many others agrees that he has succeeded. “I recently lost a dear friend at the age of 51, my age, to heart disease. It's time that America had a wake-up call. This book is it. As a spiritual Counselor and Life Coach, I know that good health is one primary aspect of finding inner piece. Dr. Lundell and Todd Norstrom have created a book that teaches us how to take control of our lives and become healthier, happier beings. It's a "must read" for everyone who desires to become free and healthy”  

This is a book that has my wholehearted recommendation. I believe that this is indeed a life-saving document that everybody – not only in the USA where heart problems are among the highest – but all over the world. 

This book is not for everyone. It isn’t something that you should buy, give a token glance to it, say ‘that’s good’ and put it on the shelf. 

The Cure For Heart Disease: Truth Will Save A Nation is a must read and a must buy for anyone concerned about their Heart’s health and are prepared to listen, understand, and take action, on the steps necessary in becoming Heart healthy once again.  

Your Heart will thank you for it.
