Heart attack versus cardiac arrest
If you’re confused by the terms used to describe heart attacks, you’re not alone. They’re often described as “mild” or “massive,” or even the ominous-sounding “widow maker.” But these terms are not necessarily helpful, and they may create confusion and anxiety.
The good news: most people who have a heart attack survive. The bad news? “Any heart attack can be fatal, no matter how big, how small, or where it occurs in the heart,” says Dr. James Januzzi, a cardiologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “Furthermore, there’s a lot of misunderstanding among the general public about ...

Amazon reviews for Undoctored
Here’s a sample of the recent Amazon reviews for my book, Undoctored: Why Health Care Has Failed You and How You Can Become Smarter Than Your Doctor.
I am encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive feedback, as we are in a virtual war with Big Pharma, the medical device industry, and the hospital industry, all working around-the-clock to take more money out of your pocket while denying you real health. The powerful and pervasive campaign of misinformation conducted by many people in healthcare is impossible to ignore. Getting the Undoctored message out to the public is more important than ever before.
The real tragedy...

The Pharmaceuticalization of Americans: Blood Pressure
News headlines are filled with the new advice from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and other health organizations: 50% of all Americans now have hypertension, given the new target blood pressure of 130/80 or lower, and more Americans therefore require treatment of their blood pressure.
CNN reports, for instance:
“One in three Americans had previously been diagnosed with the condition, but now 14% more Americans will be diagnosed with high blood pressure. The new guidelines will classify 103.3 million people as having high blood pressure, while the previous guidelines placed only 72...

Melinda loses weight despite metoprolol
I’ve talked previously about how some drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, can block weight loss. Metoprolol, a beta blocker prescribed to treat heart rhythm disorders, hypertension, coronary disease, migraine headaches, and other conditions, is on that list. But Melinda succeeded in losing an impressive amount of weight despite taking this drug.
“I have lost a 110 pounds over the last two and a half years. I still need to lose another 90 pounds. I just found an article written by you saying that metoprolol may prevent weight loss. This is very disheartening, as I have worked hard to lose weight and t...
