Why Haven't You Been Told Aboutthe REAL Cause of Heart Attacks? The Sordid Story of Statistics & Spin . . . Dear Friend, Is your ticker a ticking time bomb? Life Imitates Art In a bizarre real-life parallel, actor John Spencer died at age 58 from a sudden heart attack (after his TV character Leo McGarry on The West Wing also suffered a heart attack). Forgive my bluntness. The truth is scary, so I must come to the point quickly. Heart attacks kill nearly a million Americans a year — rich and poor, the famous and the forgotten . . . Strokes kill over 160,000 a year . . . and often without warning . . . In fact, cardiovascular disease is so common that 64 million Americans suffer from some form of it (and 39 million of these folks are age 65 or younger) . . . So if you're worried, you should be. And if you're not, you really should be. After all, you've got only one heart. Fact is, heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States. So if you're not feeling entirely comforted by the ministrations of modern medicine — a prescription for side effect-laden statin drugs, an aspirin every day, the gloomy prospect of heart bypass surgery — I don't blame you one bit. And neither does Dr. Russell Blaylock, the editor of the Newsmax monthly newsletter The Blaylock Wellness Report. I'll tell you more about our "medical maverick" shortly, but for your health's sake, please keep reading . . . Dr. Blaylock knows that informed people can prepare for potential health problems, and plan a successful strategy to prevent them. This is why he so desperately wants you to know the truth, the real truth — not just what you read in the mainstream press or see on TV. In fact, in this month's Blaylock Wellness Report "Prevent a Heart Attack: The Truth about Coronary Disease, Cholesterol Medication — and How to Truly Protect Yourself," Dr. Blaylock will lay it all out for you. And frankly, it won't be pretty . . . The Ugly Truth about Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease You may have heard the old saying that Mark Twain attributed to British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics . . . " Nowhere is this truer than in the field of medical and scientific research. In this month's Blaylock Wellness Report, Dr. Blaylock will show you how medical research and statistics can be misleading — even deliberately used to distort the truth. Grab your OWN Blaylock Wellness Report right now — CLICK HERE! Here's the deal: statistics are commonly used to lie to the public. Why? Because so few people actually understand how statistics work . . . For one thing, most people do not really understand the concept that: Correlation Does NOT Equal Causation And unfortunately, the mere correlation between elevated cholesterol levels and the risk of heart attack and stroke has been the primary "evidence" to support the dietary cholesterol theory (despite many solid findings to the contrary that Dr. Blaylock will show you). DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCKDoctor, Neurosurgeon, Author, Health Advocate Russell Blaylock, M.D., not only compiles and edits Newsmax.com's Blaylock Wellness Report. He's also a nationally recognized board-certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author and lecturer. He attended the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. For over a quarter of a century, he practiced in the demanding field of neurosurgery in addition to having a nutritional practice. He recently retired from his neurosurgical duties to devote his full attention to nutritional studies and research. Dr. Blaylock has authored three books on nutrition and wellness: Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients An in-demand guest for radio and TV programs, he lectures extensively to both lay audiences and other physicians on a variety of nutrition-related subjects. Dr. Blaylock is the 2004 recipient of the Integrity in Science Award granted by the Weston A. Price Foundation. He serves on the editorial staff of the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, official publication of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. He previously was assistant clinical professor of neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and is a visiting biology professor at the Belhaven College, also in Jackson. In fact, in this issue of The Blaylock Wellness Report, you'll discover: Why, in a country ravaged by heart disease, no one is telling you that 50% of those who have heart attacks do NOT have elevated cholesterol . . . How atherosclerosis is not really "hardening of the arteries" as you've been led to believe . . . but something potentially far worse. Why it's foolish for your doctor to insist that you take a dangerous statin drug if you have elevated cholesterol — even elevated LDL cholesterol How the true cause of atherosclerosis was discovered in 1850, rediscovered in 1950, and yet is still hidden from the majority of the population — even most doctors. Why African-Americans have the highest heart attack and stroke risks in the U.S. — despite their surprisingly lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels . . . And that's just the start. How about media spin . . . Just forget about truth in mainstream journalism . . . Spinning a Media Webof EpidemicHeart Disease and Death Although you may think of spin as outright bias, it's often more subtle and insidious. Sometimes inadvertent . . . other times downright deliberate. It's this combination of fatally flawed research and negative media spin that have made the phrase "high cholesterol" synonymous with heart disease. At least in the court of public opinion, where there is no defense attorney for cholesterol to argue "assuming facts not in evidence." Cholesterol, while not entirely without blame in the formation of atherosclerosis and heart disease, is merely a bit player — while the main culprits go unrecognized and unpunished. Dr. Blaylock wants to change that. He wants you to know who those heart disease "villains" really are . . . What this means is: You won't have to destroy your liver or muscle tissue, or suppress your immune system with a lifetime of cholesterol-lowering drugs . . . You won't live under the threat of the surgeon's knife . . . You (and your loved ones) won't be high on the "risk list" for the disability and death that routinely tags along with heart disease and stroke . . . So let's face facts. You've Been Sold a "Bill of Goods"Where Cholesterol is Concerned In this issue of The Blaylock Wellness Report, you'll see how a number of heart disease studies touted by so-called "experts" — like the WOSCOPS, CARE and LIPID studies — when examined closely, do not support the traditional cholesterol theory. And — you'll discover the answer to questions like these: Since the authors of one of these statin studies reported that there were "no clear overall benefits" from the drug, why are they still prescribing it? Which factors are actually closely-linked to heart disease — far more than cholesterol levels? What is an "unstable plaque" . . . and how can making your blood vessel plaque stronger reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke? Is it true that even small children can be affected by atherosclerosis? Do "heart-healthy" vegetable oils actually promote heart disease rather than reducing your risk? Can you have too much disease-causing visceral or belly fat even if you aren't overweight? And that's just the beginning . . . With that in mind, how do you know you can trust Dr. Blaylock? After all, what you've just heard is apt to make anyone skeptical of health information. Dr. Blaylock is a Different Breed of Doctor We brought Dr. Blaylock on board Newsmax not just because of his history as a top neurosurgeon and nutritional expert.

And in the monthly Blaylock Wellness Report, he'll Provide you with accurate information about foods, drugs, health remedies and nutritional supplements (he has NO financial interest in any of his recommendations) . . .

You see, he thinks there are simpler, cheaper and safer ways to prevent and manage disease — and you have the right to know about them. Plus, you'll be glad to know that Dr. Blaylock doesn't just give you the cold, hard facts and then leave you hanging there with the same old ineffective or even harmful recommendations that you've been getting.Of course not.Most important of all, now you can . . .
