    Are You Afraid of Fish Oil?

    Imagine you just learned that olive oil was good for your health (which it is, of course. I'm just using olive oil as an example to make a point.) Would you then take a capsule or two every day?   I hope not. You'd probably pour it liberally on salads, use it in cooking, keep a big jar of it handy. You wouldn't worry whether you poured 1000... Read moreChevron

    Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil are an important component of any heart disease prevention program: reduced triglycerides, correction of several causes of heart disease, and dramatic reduction of heart attack.   How much should we pay for these extraordinary benefits? Should we pay $2 a month, $5 a month, $10 . . . $280?   I... Read moreChevron

    How Do You Spell Procrastination?

    I don't get out much. In fact, I've been chained to my computer for so long that I've outgrown my pants and can't get to the store to purchase a larger size. Over the winter, I have gained weight and seem to have shrunk due to the natural aging process so that very soon I will resemble the shape of a beach ball! This lack of exercise, except in my... Read moreChevron

    Reduce Triglycerides Naturally

    In my last post, I discussed how, in my program for reversal of heart disease, we follow what I call the “Rule of 60”: LDL 60 mg/dl, HDL 60 mg/dl, triglycerides 60 mg/dl, or 60:60:60.   We do this in order to achieve greater control over heart disease risk.
