Surgeon says, "I freely admit to being wrong."

A heart surgeon has done something extremely rare...

1. Admitted he made a mistake.
2. Published the apology in a public forum.
3. Acknowledged that cholesterol is not the bad guy we have been lead to believe.
4. Pinned the real cause of heart disease on inflammatory foods.

"The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice.

It Is Not Working!

These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.

The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences." (full story)

This posting is part 1 of a two part series. The upcoming part promises to list of inflammatory foods along with foods that will help keep us healthy. It will be very interesting to see how well he does on his food analysis, but I am very excited to see him at least admit that the current dietary recommendations are making people sick. Of course, if he would have know of cardiologists like the late, great Dr. Robert Atkins, Drs Mike & Mary Eades, or Dr. William Davis, he would have known all this a long time ago.  Still, I do applaud the guts it took to admit a mistake and buck the medical establishment.
