Description

Millions are affected by unhealthy cholesterol levels - putting them at risk for cardiovascular disease and other serious illnesses. Thankfully, these conditions are largely preventable, and by some estimates, eight out of ten heart attack deaths can actually be avoided. But according to leading cardiologist and heart disease prevention specialist, Dr Stephen R. Devries, to truly combat cardiovascular disease, in addition to knowing your cholesterols, you should examine a range of other factors (which are often not checked) and follow an integrative program of traditional and natural treatments.

In a new dynamic plan, WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT CHOLESTEROL gives readers tools to identify previously hidden and treatable conditions that help explain why your family has a history of heart disease.
