The Total Guide to a Healthy Heart: Integrative Strategies for Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease

Rating:
Summary: Easy to understand and practical
Review: I got a kick out of the folks with many credentials who trashed this book in these reviews. My credential is a gone.. dead.. took two shocks to bring me back heart attack and then a lot of personal research into what happened. Oh yeah, I've got degrees.. in computer science.. so I need a book on this topic that is practical and accurate. None of the complainers said that Baum got anything wrong.. they just didn't like him being successful without paying big enough dues. All I can say is that this is a good and practical book with no bad advice. This is the BEST GIFT for anyone who has a heart problem.

Summary: outstanding and informative guide for overall heart health
Review: The Total Guide to a Healthy Heart is an outstanding and informative account combining both conventional and alternative approaches to preventing and reversing heart disease. It is written by one of the few triple board-certified Cardiologists in the country. Dr.Baum is a graduate of Columbia Medical School who has extensive clinical experience in the field of integrative cardiology. In my opinion it's the first book of its kind that gives the reader fluency in the language of Cardiology,enabling them to understand both conventional and complementaly approaches to heart disease.

Summary: Compassionate insight into the human experience of heart dis
Review: This book should be read by everyone working in the medical field and anyone who has or loves someone with heart disease. The "real life" stories Dr. Baum uses are extremely effective in conveying factual information to the reader as well as evoking heart felt compassion for anyone dealing with heart disease. I appreciate the lists of vitamins and herbs and the dosage ranges. It's refreshing to see a doctor dispensing knowledge which empowers patients to partner with their physicians in order to take better care of themselves. I enjoyed this book as it took me on a journey into the cardiovascular system and made a somewhat cofusing area easy to understand. Dr. Baum recounts actual patient experiences in his book which reinforces the value of his clilnical experience and intuition when treating patients. If I or anyone I loved suffered from a heart condition, his is an opinion I would certainly seek out.
