Root Cause of Heart Disease (by Stephen Sinatra, MD) |
The general public has experienced a continuous increase in heart disease
in spite of an increase in exercise, nutritional consumption and a decrease
in fat consumption. The haunting question has been why? Last year, more than
one million people died of heart disease. It is estimated that more than
60 million people in the United States have some form of cardiovascular problem.
The fact that 40% of individuals that experience a heart attack do not have
high cholesterol levels, and exhibit no symptoms of circulatory problems,
is an unexplained phenomenon in cardiovascular health. Underscoring the seriousness
of this problem was the discovery of the beginning stages of heart disease
in the majority of 16-34 year-olds that were examined.
This extensive study revealed the cause of this increase in heart disease that has developed in spite of all the efforts to address the problem. Research found that the universally accepted hypothesis for the cause of heart disease has been wrong. Cardiologists throughout the world have been wrong on the cause of heart disease and wrong on how to address it. It was once believed that over a period of time cholesterol clogged the arteries. This study found that heart disease actually begins with an immune system dysfunction. |
