Charles
T. McGee has an unusual background for
a physician. After completion of specialty training in obstetrics
and gynecology, he treated primitive lifestyle Indians in the
Andes mountains of Ecuador for one year in the land based Project
HOPE program. He had a chance to see firsthand the commonly observed
pattern that primitive lifestyle people did not suffer from heart
attacks, high blood pressure, strokes, diabetes, and a long list
of other diseases that are common in more developed countries.
In
1974 he began to study traditional Chinese medicine. That led
to investigations into nutrition, ecological issues, and other
alternative medical therapies from around the world. He discovered
that conventional medicine discriminated against many approaches
that had value. He gradually modified his practice to concentrate
on chronic diseases that are handled poorly by orthodox medicine.
In
1987 Dr. McGee began a series of trips to China, serving as a
consultant to several innovative medical programs.
Dr.
McGee is also the author of the books How to Survive Modern
Technology, Miracle Healing From China...Qigong, and Healing
Energies.

Did
you know that...
- The
angiogram commonly used for diagnosing heart problems is highly inaccurate
and unreliable.
- There
is no evidence that coronary bypass surgery or balloon angioplasties
extend life, yet over 600,000 of these procedures are being done each
year.
- Blood
cholesterol levels are ineffective in determining heart attack risk,
and much more accurate measurements exist but are seldom used.
- Cholesterol-lowering
drugs do not extend life, but actually increase the overall death rate.
- The
primary focus in the medical industry is to make a profit; therefore
much of the advice and treatment we receive is not in our best interest.
- Obstructions
in coronary arteries can open up with diet and lifestyle changes alone,
but because of financial incentives, doctors prefer sending patients
into surgery.
If
your doctor recommends getting an angiogram, coronary bypass surgery,
balloon angioplasty, or taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, your best
course of action may be to run out the door. For most people these procedures/treatments
are not effective and are completely unnecessary. The most popular medical
procedures are the most profitable for the health care industry but
are often the least effective. Hundreds of thousands of people each
year are deceived in undergoing expensive medical treatments that will
do no good and may even do a great deal of harm. Alternative procedures
which are highly effective, low-risk, and inexpensive are often ignored
or even ridiculed. Recommending expensive, high-risk procedures over
the cheaper, more effective ones amounts to nothing more than fraud.
If you had the choice of going through a risky $20,000 surgical procedure
or simply taking a daily vitamin supplement which one would you choose?
Most patients aren't given the choice.
These
facts, and more, led Charles T. McGee to write this hard hitting expose
of the health care system. In it you will learn which procedures and
treatments to avoid and which ones offer the most hope. If you are concerned
about heart disease, you need to read this book.
