Summary: A Fascinating Book
Review: Here the author gives you first hand experience on his life after being left for dead by the medical profession. Since he has gone through what ever he says, we can certainly take his words for granted. He is a person with an extreme social conscious and he wants everyone to learn from his experience. That is why he came out with this interesting and highly informative book. In the book he says we can become drug free by making some simple changes in our life style and how we can use herbs to our heart's benefit. With his own life he has proved that many of the doctors are absolutely wrong on diagnosis of their patients' heart diseases and the time frame given for their survival.
There are two things I've been craving for, this book & a nice cup of s o y f e e. You brew just like coffee and NO CAFFEINE! I can't believe it's made from so ybeans cause it taste just like coffee. Look for it online at www.s o y coffee.com. Like the book, a great find!

Summary: awesome
Review: I bought some 90,000 HU (heat unit) cayenne bulk at the health food store as soon as I finished this book. Everyone, healthy or not should read this book. I also starting eating raw organic garlic as much as possible because garlic plus cayenne work together even better to clean the blood and purify your body. I would also recomment reading Bragg health books.

Summary: A Great Alternative!
Review: I found this book most enlighting! I also found it most useful. It has lowered my sisters blood pressure, and given her alot more energy. Iuse the info in this book a well. And, I find that I have more energy,too. I don't know if Mr. Quinn is dead or not. But, I do know that he was alive a couple of years ago, which made him close to if not 60, which is about 21 yrs. longer than any of his male relitives including his father lived! It is a quick and easy read. I think alot of people will be helped by applying the info in this book.

Summary: Quackery at its worst!
Review: I would give this book 10 stars if I could! I suffered a major heart attack in 1989 at the age of 41. Shortly after that I came across this book purely by accident. It was very believable. Purely on an act of faith (since I was also suffering from a severe, sometimes bleeding, ulcer) I went to health food store and bought cayenne capsules. I took them. Within three days my 10 year old ulcer was completely healed...and since my original heart attack, have been symptom-free of coronary heart disease to this day. I am now 52. I credit this book and the healing properties of cayenne for saving my life. In fact, I use the word cayenne in my email address as well as naming my commodity trading company after the red pepper...just so people ask me why, and I get the chance to recommend the book and cayenne. Simply amazing...

Summary: A Good Anti-Establishment Do-It-Yourself Health Book
Review: This book digs up the dirt on the medical establishment saying that heart surgery can nearly kill you and do you no good in the end, all done with a whopping price-tag. Drugs are favored over herbs since they can be patented and sold to patients for great profits. Dick Quinn gives his personal testimony about nearly dying from heart surgery, but finally getting well by taking Cayenne, Garlic, Onion and other herbs, but mainly Cayenne. He scoured the earth looking for the hottest Cayenne he could find to burn his insides out! But no matter how much it burns, it's all good for you. He started his own herb company servicing mainly heart conditions which had a lot of loyal customers until the FDA... shut him down because his cure was effective and cheap, and the medical establishment did not profit. I ran out and bought some Cayenne and popped several daily. I really didn't get the energy boost he got, but I suppose they're helping. The book tells his story first, then describes some herbs secondly, and then ends with the disadvantages of heart surgery. There are sage quotes about the medical establishment and goodness of healing herbs throughout the book from distinguished men. The book seems somewhat disjointed as it goes into its different, but inter-related parts written by different authors. Quinn's story is short, skims the surface, and has some drama, but certainly is not a candidate for an Oscar winning movie. The writing style is direct, conversational, and informative and skips all literary flourishes to get the news out that herbs can heal. I found particularly interesting that drugs like aspirin merely synthetically imitate the healing effects of herbs, such as aspirin being derived from Willow Bark.

Summary: Great eye opening book on Drs. and Drugs
Review: This book was very interesting. It illustrates how Dr.s treat their patients when they do not agree with them or question the course of treatment. I believe we all need to take charge of our own health, especially in this day and age of the HMO. I also feel Drug companies don't want people to know about Alternative Medicines or herbs that heal. It would really hurt their business. I am going to add some of the vitamins to my daily regiman. Thank you Mr. Quinn for sharing your story. It's a shame the FDA had to stop you from advertising. Anyone that is a threat to Big Business and Drug companies usually have advantageous treatments snuffed because they would help and take a big cut from their business. I feel that is why there has been no cure for cancer yet. It would hurt the Drug companies that make the drugs that make people sicker than the disease itself. Thanks again.

Summary: Enlightening, sobering and challenging!
Review: This title caught my eye while on a search for another book called "The Cure For All Cancers", an equally challenging book. Especially to the medical profession. I am pleased that the authors of both of these books were willing to speak out in regard to the underlying drive in much of our medical world. Having had a heart problem myself, but not to the point of open heart surgery and all its dangers, (I only had angioplasty which I will never risk again)the book really hit home. My cardiologist has urged me to "let him go back in and check", but I think you know my answer. I did do what Mr. Quinn recommended - start taking Cayenne Pepper and garlic NOW - because after nearly 7 years I was having chest pains on exertion. After only a few weeks of taking these items I'm happy to say that those pains are gone. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is at all concerned about their health, and that they can get by all the "brainwashing" and accept what Mr. Quinn says - and follow his recommendations.

Summary: GREAT INFORMATION ON CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE!!!!!!!!!
Review: To me, this book has 3 extremely good selling points. The first is, Dick Quinn has been through all of this firsthand; he is NOT a bystander. When congestive heart failure happened to him, it was not easy to find any information at ALL on the topic; there's a little more out there now. (But HIS book is one of the good ones out there!!! That's why he wrote his story, to get information out to people!) I find him to be a very admirable man in the way he cares about others who are coming after him! His story of what he went through is an eye opener! Second, the herbs he recommends are healthy to your body; not poisons, as are many pharmaceutical products. Lily of the Valley helps arrythmias (as digitalis does), strengthens the heart muscle, strengthens blood vessels,and helps edema. So besides performing the function of digitalis, it is very good for your circulatory system and your heart. Digitalis, on the other hand, is a poison which collects in your body, is not released, and eventually poisons you. Lily of the Valley is not cumulative, as digitalis is. So which do YOU think sounds better? (Lily of the Valley has gotten a bum rap, which was not deserved. The people who feed you digitalis (a poison) have labeled Lily of the Valley a poison!!! This one is well worth researching the opinions of the herbal masters on, such as Dr. John Christopher. Many herbalists are afraid to say anything good about several herbs (which are all extremely good herbs, by the way) because they have gotten very bad and undeserved press by the FDA. So they are either afraid to come out in support of it (for OBVIOUS reasons) or they don't do research, and just go by what they hear. My father has LIVED on Lily of the Valley for the last few years. He does much better on that than he did on digitalis. Also, sometimes the herbs can be used WITH and reduce the AMOUNT of digitalis needed thus slowing the toxic buildup in the system. Third, he gives a lot of very good researched information. His herb section is very well done, as is the section on drugs. People must always bear in mind that everyone will respond differently to every herb and every medication. Peoples insides are all very different, as are their nutritional requirements. Some of these herbs may work better for you than for Dick Quinn, and some may not work as well. The good thing about it is, as you experiment with the herbs, you are not harming your body as you are when you experiment with different pharmaceutical products. My father, my sister and myself all have fun comparing the results we each have with different herbs. All of us, as well as many of my friends, have had outstanding results with different ones. (See "Biochemical Individuality" by Roger A. Williams for exciting and eyeopening information on the differences in each person.) It is also necessary to research anything you take, as well as the food you eat, to make sure you are giving your body things that are safe for you. When you research pharmaceutical products, do NOT use information from the manufacturers, the FDA, university studies (which are generally funded by pharmaceutical companies) or anyone who is affiliated or associated with them, or with associations who profit from conditions and diseases, in your research. These companies fund studies on drugs (to show how harmless they are) on herbs (to show how useless or harmful they are) and on foods (to show that they are indifferent to the conditions). Look for studies conducted by men of integrity who are looking for cures and who are financially independent of all these types of people, or your results will be just what the companies want them to be. DO NOT TRUST THE FDA! These people have okayed drugs that kill people every day. And they eventually get nice, cushy, WELL-paying jobs with the companies after they leave the agency. It is important that you always take the responsibility of researching herbs before you use them, just in case you have a condition which makes it unwise for you to take a certain one. Pregnant women must be especially careful. Get good herb handbooks, such as the ones by Humberto Santillo, Jack Ritchason, Louise Tenney and John Christopher. If you can find a good naturopath, osteopath, herbalist or doctor who will work with you, you are extremely lucky. We have had to do all our research and experiments on our own, just as Dick Quinn did. But we were luckier than he was. We had this wonderful book as a guide. (Not to MENTION Amazon.com!!!) This book is just as timely today as when it was written in 1992. I also recommend Dick Quinn's sequel--"Death by Deception." QUESTION OF THE DAY! Since the prognosis given by doctors for patients with congestive heart failure is death within 5 years (and usually much sooner) could that be because of the buildup of the digitalis? Is that how long it takes the stuff to reach the level where it will destroy a body?
