If you are taking cholesterol or blood pressure medications, you may want to review the pro's and cons of these treatments for heart disease. Dr. Campbell-McBride sees many patients in her clinic with atherosclerosis, stroke, arrhythmia, heart disease, and high blood pressure. In her book, Put Your Heart in Your Mouth
, she poses very convincing arguments that the use of cholesterol and blood pressure medications do nothing to reduce the risk of a heart attack. In addition to that, she states that low fat diets devoid of animal products may do more harm than good. According to Dr. McBride, cholesterol is a necessary element of a healthy immune system. When the body is under attack due to stress, injury, or illness, the liver sends out cholesterol as a healing agent. When people use medication to reduce their cholesterol, they are actually weakening their immune systems!
Dr. Campbell-McBride recommends consuming healthy animal fats including butter! Butter is a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals. Many chronic illnesses actually escalated with the introduction of low-fat diet foods. Margarine is one of the worst things for you.
Put Your Heart in Your Mouth is very easy to read and understand. I strongly recommend it for anyone considering taking cholesterol or blood pressure medications!
