The author is the founding editor of What Doctors don’t Tell You (also published in Hungarian as Amiről az orvos nem mindig beszél), an alternative monthly health magazine.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Western societies, yet we know very little about it. Millions of dollars are spent on researching possible causes and developing drugs that are often based on flawed research findings or long-disproved medical hypotheses.
The book helps navigate through the jungle of information so that those struggling with heart disease, as well as those looking to prevent it, can face this serious illness armed with many useful, sometimes life-saving pieces of advice.
