Rob was never that committed to following the program in the first place.
I met Rob because of a modest heart scan score and consultation for a cholesterol abnormality. Rob had been cycled through all the statin agents by his primary care physician,...
In response to the Heart Scan Blog post, Fish oil makes you happy: Psychological distress and omega-3 index, Dr. David Grimes offered the following argument.
Dr. Grimes is a physician in northwest England at the Blackburn Royal Infirmary,...
Beyond its ability to slash risk for cardiovascular events, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil also reduce triglycerides.
There's no remaining question that omega-3s do this quite effectively. After all, the FDA approved prescription fish oil, Lovaza,...
For another perspective on omega-3 blood levels, here's an interesting study in northern Quebec Inuits.
Traditionally, Inuits consumed large quantities of omega-3-rich seal, fish, caribou, and whale, even eating the fat. However, like the rest of the...
I answered a page from a hospital nurse recently one evening while having dinner with the family.
RN: "This is Lonnie. I'm a nurse at _____ Hospital. I've got one of your patients here, Mrs. Carole Simpson. She's here for a knee replacement with Dr....
After receiving 6 stents 2 years ago, I came across Dr. Davis's Track Your Plaque and with this info I beleive that I have stopped my heart disease progression in its tracks!
Great blog for any lay person or Doctor who really wants to stop heart disease.
Sometimes, Dr Davis comes across as a little bit too opinionated. But maybe a hard-hitting blog is just what we need when it comes to combatting the nutritional-industrial complex. Those wanting a more nuanced view should supplement the blog with the book, Track Your Plaque.
An excellent site which I read daily for Dr Davis' views on diet, medications and other aspects of cardio health. His views on diet are very similar to my own, developed over six years as a type 2 diabetic.
Exceptional and right on target... always! Dr. Davis needs a large-scale 'mouthpiece' (Oprah, Dr. Phil are you listening?) to promote his clinically proven work. Using his techniques, I have reduced my lipid profile (via VAP testing) to near-perfect levels and achieved a 4.7 A1C by eliminating wheat entirely from my diet. PS: I had a mild heart attack and diabetes diagnosis in 2002 with blood sugar over 300. It takes a lot of work and discipline, but virtually anyone can reverse their health status through his principals, diet and lifestyle. We need more Dr. D's!
I have been aware of Dr. Davis and his blog for about a year, and have independently come to nutritional conclusions largely similar to his, over a period of about ten years. Why should this carry any weight?
Simply because at 72, I recently had a CTA scan reviewed by my cardio as "no detectable plaque".
Not exactly clinical proof, but but his philosophy and methods have my whole-hearted support.
I would be delighted to see other practicing physicians with a similar qualms about their profession to "come out" and join him.
In case someone thinks it relevant, my father died of heart attack at 76.
