Lady Rai, nursemaid to Queen Nefertari of Egypt, died in 1530 BC, somewhere between the age of 30 and 40 years. Her mummy is preserved in the Egyptian National museum of Antiquities in Cairo.
A CT scan of her thoracic aorta revealed calcium,...
Here's a link to my recent article in Life Extension Magazine on iodine:
Halt on Salt Sparks Iodine Deficiency
Iodized salt, a concept introduced into the U.S. by the FDA in 1924, slowly eliminated goiter (enlarged thyroid glands), along with an...
Here's an informal observation.
The healthiest people are the most iodine deficient.
The healthier you are, the more likely you are to:
--Avoid junk foods--30% of which have some iodine from salt
--Avoid overuse of iodized...
Sal has had 3 heart scans. (He was not on the Track Your Plaque program.) His scores:
March, 2006: 439
April, 2007: 573
October, 2009: 799
Presented with the 39% increase from April, 2007 to October, 2009, Sal's doctor responded, "I don't...
Because in Track Your Plaque we've been thinking a lot about anthocyanins, here's a rerun of a previous Heart Scan Blog post about red wine. (Anthocyanins are among the interesting flavonoids in red wine, along with resveratrol and quercetin.)

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.
