By Matthias Rath - Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks...But People Do: 4th (fourth) Edition Paperback

An excellent book whose existence I knew nothing before in Amazon, it was shown up as a used one, proposal for me, and then I immediately ordered a copy.And then after receiving and reading the book, I thereby discovered a historical case which I never before had heard about, and at the actual time then living in Denmark. The case about how FDA, for the pharmaceutical industry, way back in 1991, in the parliament submitted the desire for a new law by which citizens only should be allowed getting vitamins and minerals by receipt!By this case it’s clearly seen as a proof that the pharmaceutical industry knows that if citizens increase in taking more vitamins and minerals, then we no longer so often will be hit by heart attacks, cancer, and so, and thereby ending by doctors and put on the dangerous patented drugs. And this I matter of billions of $ which the drug producers will lose if people start in living healthier.The reason for using receipts is of cause meant for the more or less dangerous drugs, so thereby not ending at wrong persons, or being getting too much too long. But why should vitamins and minerals now be dangerous, as we until now (or until around 1950), as long as man has existed, automatically have received enough of these vitamins and minerals by our food? While we actually now a days are getting much unhealthy food and thereby missing these vitamins and minerals, and furthermore dirt in the air, bad chemicals in for example clothes, and so on, and thereby daily needing more vitamins and minerals than earlier in history.So by FDA wanting this law clearly tells us how FDA not is taking care for the human health but instead sponsored by the pharmaceutical producers, from whom it actually receives most of the payment. But it’s interesting, and luckily, to read about how the citizen won against the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry. But as we see that after the case in USA then the story was repeated in Europe, by which we see how hard the pharmaceuticals fight for earning money no matter how many dead patients it causes. And strangely, I never before in other of my hundreds of health and doctor books, or in news, have heard or read about these important juridical health cases.Actually, as told by the books title, the books content is concerning heart attacks, and about this it’s interesting to read how the first research result which already came way back in 1990 then came with the conclusion that the heart attack actually is caused by too little C vitamins. Where historically this problem already was discovered when the Europeans started to sail to the other parts of the World and the on the chips were missing frosts, and vegetables, and thereby C vitamins. And we read that see this proved by putting some of the New Guinea pigs on a food parallel to the human food, that is by containing too little C vitamins. Where the New Guinea pigs being used as they are among the very few animals, which like the human beings, not by them self in the body are producing the C vitamin, as for all other of the animals.And in the book we get enormous many drawings, by which we step by step see the processes that actually is going on. And concerning the heart attack we see that for the New Guinea pigs the heart attack comes faster than for peoples, and read why. And we get some interesting pictures, as for example some showing arteries from respectively a pig missing C vitamins and one getting as much as normal, where for the first one showing a case of a bad artery. And on the sides 40 and 41 we by 6 pictures see a case of coronary heart disease, and how it after a year on the health recommendation is back by again being normal.And throughout the book, beside the actual heart attacks we get many interesting, and with drawings detailed, chapters concerning cholesterol, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, diabetes, cellular medicine (vitamins and minerals). And in each chapter also many interesting letters from “patients”.The book was printed in 2009, and Dr. Rath then thought that after 10 years it would have turned over into more understanding and results concerning hearth attacks, and other sicknesses. But to me it most looks like actually nothing have changed, during the now past 7 years. The pharmaceutical industry has too much money-power, and most doctor only read the papers which the received from the drug, producers, plus % for selling.Altogether an excellent book with much important information.

Life saving information. Doctors used to say that, if they knew why animals didn't get heart attacks, they would be able to eliminate heart disease. Well researchers found out why, many years ago. Animals don't get heart attacks because they make their own vitamin C. We humans don't, and obviously we are not getting adequate amounts in our diet. However this simple cure is being ignored. Doctor Rath goes over this in detail and has many photos to illustrate his point. He also has letters from people that had heart disease and who he has helped. He had worked closely with Linus Pauling when he was alive. His program and advice is slightly different than Doctor Paulings. Doctor Rath says that often the change in the arteries, occurs after a period of 6 months or more on vitamin C. I believe this is true. I have always had problems with high cholesterol numbers. I would not take a statin for personal reasons. Anyway, after 6 months on high dose vitamin C, my numbers are really improved. I always had high HDL and low triglycerides, but not like I have now. My last blood work was HDL 109, triglycerides 39, and LDL 120. This is better than I ever had in my life. So I do believe what Dr Rath says. This is excellent information. I hope others will spread the word. A business man in my city died a few weeks ago, of a heart attack and he was only 62. Many people die younger than that. I have to think that many of these deaths could have been prevented.

I heard about him years ago at the health food store. Animals don't make their own Vitamin C. People need to get that from diet. He also talked about scurvy and how that is related to a lack of Vitamin C. He talked about how the heart needs Vitamin C and certain proteins to function well.

Dr. Rath exposes the causes and cures of CVD. Basically, a vitamin C deficiency. What most people don't know is diets high in refined carbs, aka "healthy grains" causes the liver to not absorb vitamin C, then the body is starved of it. see Why we get fat by Gary Taubes. The Rath Institute also offers this in free PDF download, but I love to have the book to read and loan out. Can't beat the price, well.... maybe beat the price of shipping.Personally, I had chest pains, tachycardia (sorry about spelling, racing heart beat at night) and high blood pressure. I was pretty frightened about it all. I sort of put a request to find an answer, while at the healthfood store, this book jumped out at me. I read it in 2 days, went back to the store with my shopping list of supp's, spent about $200 (I bought everything in the book) and hammered the vitamin C and took about 20 pills/day. In a month, my symptoms were relieved, completely! I still take C and MSM (google it) eat a much better diet... paleo-ish, no grains or refined carbs. Best health I've ever been in.

This book covers in detail starting at the cellular level and explains why Vit C with Lycine is so important in our daily diet to prevent heart disease and maintain optimum health. Like the back of the book cover explains briefly why big pharma is out to mask the situation so they may promote their synthetic drugs/ with horrendous side effects, and rake in billions of dollars. I have been taking his LysinC for many months along with the other vitamins and minerals that Dr. Rath had advised to take for optimum health. I believe that his slogan " Be calm and carry on" is what we all need to do in our daily lives. Hope this advise will help all who are seriously interested in helping themselves as well as their loved ones. Eat well my friend.

Good
