New Book, “The Great Cholesterol Lie” Unravels Cholesterol Theory of Heart Disease
Written by lsmithersStatin medications aren’t solving soaring heart disease rates and internationally renowned thoracic surgeon Dr. Dwight Lundell reveals why - as well as the solution - in the new book, “The Great Cholesterol Lie”.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) March 20, 2009 — With over 25% of the population taking statin medications - and with many being urged to do so preventatively - thoracic surgeon Dr. Dwight Lundell’s new book, “The Great Cholesterol Lie” could not be released at a more important time.
The Great Cholesterol Lie
 Most of the surgeries could have been easily prevented had the patients been given the right information about what causes heart disease.  |
The need for this information is greater than ever as indicated by a recent on-line promotion of the book that brought sales throughout the USA and in 17 countries worldwide.
Dr. Lundell’s new book is based on his vast experience as a cardiac surgeon who performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries spanning a quarter of a century. Says Dr. Lundell, “Most of the surgeries could have been easily prevented had the patients been given the right information about what causes heart disease.”
Much of the conventional wisdom in treating heart disease is based on a study that lacked scientific fact known as the “The Framingham Study” that began in 1948. This group of scientists and researches believed they stumbled on the cause of heart disease, cholesterol–a theory that has stuck and held throughout six decades despite overwhelming science to the contrary.
As Dr. Lundell states, “It is maddening that medicine has continued to chase and endorse the cholesterol theory while heart diseased continued to soar during my 25 years performing surgeries. I wanted to see heart disease cured rather than patched. By treating inflammation, the heart will heal.”
Dr. Lundell’s book shows how inflammation is responsible for heart disease and numerous other illnesses such as diabetes. It also shows how simple dietary changes and supplements can replace ineffective cholesterol drugs, where to find them, and how to avoid buying so-called “supplements” which are little better than placebos.
The book details how low-fat and no fat foods created from the cholesterol theory are the very foods that are the cause of an epidemic of inflammation and obesity.
He explains foods that cause the greatest harm and foods that reduce inflammation giving heart disease sufferers a new lease on life with the ability to live healthy, energetic and disease-free lives.
He even details an “eating out” guide showing how to eat in restaurants and fast food establishments safely without risking more inflammation.
In a recent online-only promotion, “The Great Cholesterol Lie” sold throughout the USA and in 17 countries worldwide. At http://greatcholesterollie.com there are rave reviews from grateful readers, many of whom found his book to literally be a life-saver.
Dr. Lundell is now releasing the book worldwide in downloadable form so that its lifesaving advice can be made available to anyone around the world who needs it instantly.

oh what a relief! I commend you on this initiative and yr courage to break away from the norm of most doctors. I hv been battling with high cholesterol for the past few years and I hv been stubbornly refusing statin medication recommended by my doctors. Instead I hv been going on a diet and exercise routine to bring it down. I have also been hearing that cholesterol is not as harmful as most of us think it is and may not be the cause of heart disease at all! And now you confirm this! Thats great….my hats off to you Doc!

I have looked at many sites on this subject and not come across a site such as yours which tells everyone everything that they need to know. I have bookmarked your site. Can anyone else suggest any other related topics that I can look for to find out further information?

Thanks for putting the thought in and writing it

Wow, that is really surprising. I thought that just all Omegas were good for the body…
January 21st, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Many of our readers have been following Dr. Lundell’s recommendations and have seen improvements in their cholesterol levels.
February 25th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
This is intriguing, especially the part about the eating out guide. I was suprised to see fast food outlets included. Fast food establishments are normally the first to get knocked when it comes to heart disease and cholesterol.
I guess there really are good foods and bad foods.

great article, it makes you think twice about what you eat….. also the fast food guide, love it

The great thing about this book is its ability to open your eyes and change your mind-set regarding some very ingrained and set beliefs about heart problems and heart attacks.
In his book Dr. Lundell explodes the myth that cholesterol is the prime factor that contributes to fatalities and diseases of the heart. He stresses that inflammation, not cholesterol, is the most dangerous factor, and that unless inflammation is brought under control, there could be no hope of recovery from heart problems. According to “The Great Cholesterol Lie” a heart attack is primarily caused by inflammation, which if not controlled can lead to fatalities.

This is really interesting book. I can’t wait to give it to my dad.
September 26th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Very interesting! It’s a sad fact that much of the health information we are given by our doctors are biased by the profit motive and is not always in our best interest. I personally don’t blame my local physician. I believe they are only giving the information they have been taught. I believe this problem extends beyond our local doctors.

We live in an age where you basically have to expect to educate yourself. You can’t always trust what you’re told so you can monly try and find out the real yourself.

Maybe i will get one and help my father to against that disease

The problem can lie with just a persons lack of willpower, it’s that simple. You may know what foods are good for your heart, and wjhat are bad, but the lure of the ‘bad’ stuff is somethiome too strong.

My husband had a heart disease during last 5 years and thankfully we still got a chance!

interesting book
different look at choloesterol

Dr. Lundell does not stop at exposing the main culprit that causes heart attacks, he goes on and advises on the best steps you could take to prevent and abolish inflammation in your body. The simple steps he offers are easy enough for anyone to follow successfully and thereby eliminate the threat of heart disease and heart attack permanently. This is just one of the priceless things this book offers, which definitely justifies the investment.
October 16th, 2010 at 10:00 am
That really is an interesting theory, especially as it flys in the face of much of the current research, but it actually makes sense. In essence trying to follow a balanced diet is a critical key to tackling heart disease
October 16th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Yes, you are so right! Thanks for stopping by!

Great post. Thanks for your sharing.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve read the book and it’s a great read. I’ll be sure to take Omega 3 pills every single day, just to be sure.

Great article! So how much Omega-3 do we have to take every day in order to stay clear of too much cholesterol?
December 1st, 2010 at 3:32 pm
The book is really very good one. In today’s fast world the question of right nutrition is very vexed. There are different apps for smartphones that can count calories, some diets, programs, etc. However, without a conscious decision to take care of your health everything is useless.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:59 am
Thanks for stopping by! Nutrition has become so confusing with conflicting messages, we are hard-pressed to know what to believe. That’s why I so recommend Dr. Lundell’s new site, http://TruthAboutHeartDisease.org
December 2nd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
That’s a great question with answers that change depending on who you ask. My feeling is two gram a day for healthy folks and 3-4 grams and above for health related issues such as heart disease.
December 15th, 2010 at 4:29 am
Thanks for the great synopsis of the book.
There have been so many cases lately of simple dietary changes and supplement usage taking care of some serious health issues, while prescription drugs just add to the problem.

A book that unravels the mistery of heart disease? Really interesting, especially that a lot of food products are promoting “good for the heart”, or are they really?
Investing on things like these, especially if you are working in the medicinal field, is highly encouraged
January 18th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Really great article mate, i have bookmarked your blog. So i can come back with ease!

Very nice article about improving ones health. Its important to take care of your heart. I think that making informed decisions about your health is the best way to have a long life.

Superb science/medical writing. I was already familiar with a lot of the story about cholesterol misinformation, but I still found it very useful to see the issues dissected one-by-one, with comprehensive references to the relevant research studies. The author is obviously extremely well-read in this area, far beyond the main dietary studies. His final chapter about stress and heart-disease is a must-read for anyone interested in these topics, and the fact that he had been so thorough in the earlier part of the book makes me take his speculations seriously. It comes with a good dose of quirky British (actually Scottish) humor, which I enjoyed a lot.

I also feel somewhat compelled to add this: While doctors will tell you they’ve rarely seen anyone with side effects from statins, among my own circle of middle-aged friends, I know 3 who’ve had serious problems with their livers, one who had some muscles permanently destroyed, one–a usually energetic tennis player– who felt, for the few months he took statins, as though he had the flu, and could barely go to work– and one who was left with ringing in the ears and a facial tic. All of these are listed as side effects of statins, as Kendrick points out.
