    About this ebook

    I have been publishing posts related to heart disease for many years. This book is a compilation of blog posts done over the years in a organized format with some additional commentary to help make the information clearer.

    Many of the topics discussed in this book may be new to you and may never have been brought up by your personal physician. Unfortunately, there is a veritable chasm between the medical research and what primary care doctors and cardiologists seem to share with their patients.

    The "standard" recommendations are usually decades behind the research I will be sharing with you. This is why every single comment is backed up by supporting medical research.

    By clicking "Read more" you can find the links needed to look at the original medical research journal the information is centered around.

    It is my hope that the concepts and ideas given in this book are going to help your understanding of your condition as well as help in improving your health as it relates to preventing and managing heart disease. There are many tools that can positively impact the health of your cardiovascular system.

    In this book you will learn:

    1. What causes heart disease
    2. How can I tell if I'm at risk?
    3. Problems with Cardiac Procedures and Meds
    4. The Power of Lifestyle
    5. Supplements and Heart Disease
    6. Relationships with Other Diseases

    Happy reading!

    Author

    James Bogash, DC

    Since acquiring a passion for how the body works in chiropractic school, I have continued to indulge this desire by reading some 120 peer reviewed medical journals per month. I'm always learning more about how to help people avoid chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, obesity and cancer, and pass along this information in my blog. There are currently almost 2,000 posts cataloged on almost every health topic imaginable! For some reason, the information that we understand about avoid and managing chronic diseases remains a big secret. Drugs dominate and lifestyle is pushed to the side. Time after time I have new patients come into my office that have not been given the information they need to get or stay healthy. This blog has always served as therapy for me, allowing me to share with the world this hidden information. Hence the name "Rantings…"

There are many tools that can positively impact the health of your cardiovascular system.

      I’m also introducing tools, called Dr. Bogash's Recommendations, which will give you three things you can do right away to improve your heart and blood vessel health.

      CHAPTER SUMMARIES

      CHAPTER 1: WHAT CAUSES HEART DISEASE?

      Society has led us to believe that heart disease is largely genetic. This removes your choices from the equation and leaves invasive procedures and medications as the only answer. This is just not true. It is estimated that 90% of what causes heart attacks and stroke are related to the choices we make in life. This chapter will go over some of these before I give some ideas to fix the problems.

      CHAPTER 2: HOW CAN I TELL IF I'M AT RISK?

      This chapter will begin to delve into some of the things that doctors look at to determine if you might be at risk for developing heart disease. Many of these can be modified by your lifestyle choices. We will also examine the cholesterol / statin drug story to see just how real it is when it comes to predicting your risk of a heart attack.

      CHAPTER 3: PROBLEMS WITH CARDIAC PROCEDURES AND MEDICATIONS

      Healthcare today involves identifying risk factors that have been linked to heart disease. Cholesterol, diabetes, blocked arteries, high blood pressure. Essentially, we check for these so that we can find something to medicate or do a procedure on. But if we do treat these problems through drugs and surgery, are we really making a difference, or is it possible that many patients who are medicated may actually be worse off?

      CHAPTER 4: THE POWER OF LIFESTYLE

      As someone who reads a lot of medical literature, I can tell you that the weight of the evidence suggests that there is nothing more powerful than lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease or to manage it once it is present. By now, you will realize that standard treatments in medicine today do little to change the true trajectory of a disease, and many times actually create problems that were not present originally. Lifestyle changes encompass four aspects: Dietary changes, Exercise, Stress Management and Environmental. We will address each of these separately in this chapter. Although some posts do cover all of these aspects, I have tried to separate them based on which aspect is primary.

      CHAPTER 5: SUPPLEMENTS AND HEART DISEASE

      While lifestyle changes are the most important player in avoiding and managing heart disease, there are some supplements that have held up well in the medical literature as being able to assist you in protecting your heart and blood vessels.

      CHAPTER 6: RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER DISEASES

      Cardiovascular disease does not occur by itself. The risk factors for so many of today’s' chronic diseases are all linked. This can be very bad, since someone who suffers a heart attack many likely have colon cancer brewing in the early stages. On the plus side, this means that protecting against one chronic disease will automatically protect against all the others, giving you more bang for your buck when it comes to lifestyle changes. Just in case you think I'm making this up, in this chapter I will cover research linking a long list of other chronic diseases to heart disease. Hopefully you will see that the changes I have recommended in Chapter 4 and 5 are not merely to avoid a heart attack or stroke (although this is arguably a good enough reason on its own), but rather to lower you risk of every chronic disease.

      CHAPTER 1: WHAT CAUSES HEART DISEASE

      Society has led us to believe that heart disease is largely genetic. This removes your choices from the equation and leaves invasive procedures and medications as the only answer.

      This is just not true. It is estimated that 90% of what causes heart attacks and stroke are related to the choices we make in life. This chapter will go over some of these before I give some ideas to fix the problems.

      Inflammation

      Normally, when we think of inflammation, we think of the process that occurs when we sprain an ankle. Redness, swelling, heat, pain. This process is driven
