Product Description
Would you like to save yourself the indignity, inconvenience and foul taste of modern diet fads? Are you sick and tired of frittering away your money on heart medications that leave you feeling more wretched than ever? Do you spend frequent, precious hours jogging or pounding away at the gym? And despite all of this effort, are you still fatter and weaker than you want to be? Then it's time to abandon the Modern Gospel of low-fat food and long-duration exercise as a path to heart health. Your heart's salvation lies in reengineering the diet and exercise habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to fit our modern culture. What does this entail? To build a strong and resilient heart, engage in brief, explosive bouts of intense exercise. Consume a diet rich in high quality fat, pasture-fed meat, free-range dairy, wild-caught fish and liberal helpings of low-glycemic fruits and vegetables. Avoid grain-based starches as best you can. And take appropriate supplements to counteract the nutritional deficiencies of modern produce. Dr Sears has used this plan to help over 15,000 patients successfully reverse heart disease, build stronger hearts, manage their weight and abandon their heart medications. In 'The Doctor's Heart Cure', for the first time, Dr Sears reveals his entire, proven programme, so you too can safely build an impregnable heart.

 The Doctor's Heart Cure October 21, 2008

A MUST READ for anyone taking Statins for cholesterol or with high blood pressure or heart issues, as well as anyone wanting to reduce fat. What your doctor probably doesn't know, may kill you.
I found the book to be so important I bought a copy for my father and recommended it to my friends.
 Excellent alternative to questionable 'cardio exercise' September 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For some time I suspected that interval training was the way to go, as after doing days of intensive grappling and other activities requiring a lot of muscle output ('anaerobic' in nature) I felt excellent, almost as if I had had an oxygen infusion.
In a past career (nuclear medicine technologist) one of my employers believed the ejection fraction (stroke volume) to be the best measure of cardiac health, as well as how quickly the subjects recovered from the stress thallium/cardiolite bicycle ergometer dynamic study. This is in agreement with Dr. Sears' PACE concept.
Personally I have not quantified (with heart monitor) the percentage outputs of my workouts, but rather use a very qualitative way of measuring my endurance, attempting to complete at least 10 mins of intensive work and 25 to 40 yard sprints and subsequent rest walking.
I feel great following a version of this in conjunction with SuperSlow weight exercise twice a week (see www.superslowzone.com) . I will edit this review as my fitness changes.
Great Book on Health June 21, 2008

Dr. Al Sears has a new concept about health and nutrition. Basically, you need to stay away from processed foods, bread, and unhealthy carbs. In addition, you need to do high intensity, short duration exercise. Get the heart pumping and stop doing low intensity long duration exercise. That type of exercise will actually make your body weak and increase your fat levels. According to Dr. Sears, some of the best foods you can eat are organic/wild fish, beaf, eggs, chicken, etc. Eat fruits, nuts, and veggies except potatoes and peanuts (which aren't nuts). It's well written and easy reading.
Great for diabetics March 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a diabetic for several years and have read multiple books. Many call for the traditional high fiber, low fat diet. I must say if you are not willing to follow the suggestions in this book, it will not be helpful. If you do decide to implement the recommendations you will see immediate improvement in glucose and cholestrol levels as well as increased energy levels.
It's great to see my father enjoying life again... March 3, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Back in 2001, my father suffered a heart attack. He was 51 at the time and aside from arthritis pain, was otherwise healthy. There was a family history of heart disease, but he went for regular checkups and his heart had been in fine condition up until that point, his doctor had seen no previous cause for concern. It wasn't until a few months later that the media started talking about the medication Vioxx and it's link to heart attacks, etc. My father had been prescribed Vioxx just a few months prior to his heart attack.
Since then he'd been prescribed a cocktail of drugs to "prevent" another attack, but they brought a whole slew of other problems....more pain, depleted energy, trouble sleeping and the like and even with cutting back on all the foods his doctors told him were a no-no after a heart attack, he gained about 50 lbs! Before all the heart medications, my father was an active man...spending hours in the garage working on his classic cars or going out to the lake on the weekends to canoe....but after being prescribed all these new meds he just didn't have the energy to enjoy life anymore...he'd come home from work and would be asleep in the chair before you even had a chance to ask him about his day.
When I came across The Doctor's Heart Cure, I was skeptical at first but I read it through and agreed with everything Dr. Sears had to say....the next hurdle was getting my father, who has nothing but pure faith in his Doctors to at least READ it. After some urging and another health scare my father finally decided to read the book. He slowly began following Dr. Sears' advice and began to abandon the various medications he'd been prescribed. He's only been following The Doctor's Heart Cure for about a year, but I've already seen a positive change...he's been losing weight and has more energy. He and my mother spent 2 weeks traveling through Europe in October, he just purchased a new classic car to restore and they are planning their first canoe trip in almost 4 years. It's really great to see my father enjoying life again...I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to prevent or reverse the effects of heart disease, etc.
