Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular DiseaseThe ten top killers of Americans (in the order of frequency) include heart disease, cancer, physican induced death, stroke, accidents, pneumonia, diabetes, cirrhosis, arteriosclerosis, and suicides. All but accidents, pneumonia, and suicides have an underlying connection to reduced blood circulation. More than 90 percent of Americans live in jeopardy of having a serious illness relating to the circulatory system.

The human and financial cost of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. is astronomical. Every year, approximately 1.5 million Americans have a heart attack, 300,000 of whom die before receiving medical attention. The treatment of cardiovascular disease rings up a total of $100 billion dollars annually-$200,000 spent every minute. Coronary artery bypass surgery (bypassing the blocked heart artery with grafted leg artery, average cost $44,000) is the most frequently prescribed surgical procedure for heart disease, costing $10 billion per year. Numerous leading medical doctors and authorities have stated that coronary bypass surgery is over-prescribed and often unnecessary. Nearly 20,000 people die every year as a result of bypass surgery or angioplasty (ballooning of the occluded artery, average cost $21,000).

Are there alternatives in treating this malady? Very simply answered, YES! Read the following articles to find out how.
