Someone who looks at this article will inevitably think -“What will this book do for me?” or, in the words of Ben Franklin, “Can it bring me health (which is really wealth), happiness, and wisdom?” It can, and in many ways. There has been a great increase in the number of books focusing on health for everyday people Never before have people become so interested in the field of medicine and science, especially due to the remarkable medical achievements throughout recent times. Old ideas are challenged and new ideas are formed, which lead to one discovery after another. New information, new diagnostic tools, and new drugs have provided new answers to questions that were mysteries with no solution. Even a practicing physician cannot always keep up with these swift developments in medical progress. He simply does not have the time to treat his patients and also evaluate all reports of new findings and new products that appear everyday. At the same time, he still bears the traditional responsibility of the physician to teach the public how to prevent illness and how to treat it when it occurs. The answer, therefore, seems to lie in a division of labor among doctors. Each doctor should provide research and add to the nation’s health literature information on the specific branch of medicine in which he or she specializes. This information, whether derived from research or from his daily practice, should be as reliable and as safe as a prescription, since it is coming from a certified doctor. However, you can’t trust all books talking about health – even those written by doctors themselves – to qualify by this standard. Many are written to entertain, to exploit some medical novelty, or sometimes to enhance the reputation of the author. While writing the following for the reader, the author has sought to achieve two main goals: to increase your longevity and to prevent critical heart disease, due to hardened arteries. The information offered here is based upon 25 years of medical practice, extensive research, and clinical experience. The low-fat diet, weight reduction, and nutritional program presented in this book are not a panacea for all illnesses. However, in the opinion of the author and a large number of scientists and physicians, this program is the most effective method to prevent and/or treat what is known scientifically as atherosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is today’s greatest cause of illness and death, and there are undoubtedly other unknown causes of hardening of the arteries in the heart, brain, and other vital organs in the body. Even worse, there is very little known about these diseases and there is no effective cure or remedy, other than those presented in this article.
