Dr. Landel is a retired heart surgeon from Arizona who claims that everything we know about heart disease is fake. “Doctors have a strong ego which rarely allows them to admit being wrong. However, now I admit I’ve made mistakes. As a heart surgeon with large experience and over 5000 open heart surgeries, I feel the need to correct some things and a well-known science fact.
I worked with great doctors over my career, so we usually exchanged opinions on different matters. We always read current literature, went to seminars and discovered that heart diseases are caused by increased levels of cholesterol in our blood.
The only available treatment was a cholesterol reducing therapy which limits your fat intake. Everyone who claimed differently was branded a fool, but now, I must say that this kind of therapy has no scientific or moral base.”
His statement caused heated debate over the importance of statins (cholesterol lowering drugs). About 25% of the population in the USA takes statins regularly, and they cost between 53 and 600 dollars a month! Even with their wide use, heart disease is decimating the world population every year.
“A few years ago there was a discovery which found that artery wall inflammation, not cholesterol, is the main reason behind heart disease. This completely changed the opinion on heart and other diseases treatments – in fact, the years of recommended “healthy” diet plans are now being held responsible for the epidemic of obesity and diabetes!
I’ve had the chance to peek inside thousands of arteries through the years – a sick artery looks like someone took a brush and rubbed it from the inside. The food we eat creates dents in the walls which get bigger over time, prompting the body to react with inflammation. While we enjoy different treats, our body is fighting intruders. Sugar and carb-rich foods, or food treated with omega-6 fatty acids is constantly praised as healthy, but it is exactly this type of food which harms our bodies.”
The most controversial part of Dr. Landel’s statement is the part that cholesterol is not responsible for heart disease, making statins obsolete. He recommends following a treatment which doesn’t bring profits to the pharmaceutical industry. “Without inflammation in the body, there’s no way cholesterol can block your blood vessels. Without inflammation, cholesterol can move naturally through the body – it’s the inflammation which forbids it. Now that we know that cholesterol is safe, the concern over saturated fats is useless.
Mainstream medicine made a big mistake when it advised people to avoid saturated fats and consume omega-6 rich food. Thanks to that, now there’s a growing epidemic of arterial inflammation which leads to heart disease as well as other serious diseases. You should start eating natural foods and avoid processed foods which may increase the inflammation in your blood vessels,” Dr. Landel says.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that mainstream medicine considers Dr. Landel crazy now – he wasn’t crazy while he worked as a top heart surgeon for over 25 years, but once he published his book “The Cure for Heart Disease” in 2007, he suddenly went insane?!
There are millions of dollars to be made from statins and heart disease – don’t expect the industry to just stop the well-oiled cash machine.
