Do you know what the leading cause of death is in this country? It’s not cancer, it’s heart disease.

For cancer, we spend billions every year searching for cancer. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., says for heart disease, a cure DOES exists right now and no one ever has to die of heart disease again.

Dr. Esselstyn isn’t a snake oil salesman. He’s an internationally known surgeon, researcher and clinician at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic whose research project — the largest of its kind ever conducted — has yielded nothing less than irrefutable evidence that heart disease can be avoided.

And the best news of all? It’s something 100 percent in your control. In his book, “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary Scientifically-Proven Nutrition-Based Cure,” Dr. Esselstyn explains how every time you eat certain kinds of foods you are contributing to heart disease.

He offers tips for preventing and reversing this killer, even for patients who have been ravaged by the disease.

He explains which foods are the most dangerous for you and how it’s possible to
exchange one pile of delicious foods that are destroying you for another pile of delicious foods that can save you.

Plus, find out why he thinks our current approach to treating disease (statins, bypasses and stents) is just treating the symptoms — not the causes — of cardiovascular disease.
