superb
  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. MikeV
