Heart disease is the number one killer in America, claiming one life every minute. Bypasses, angio-plasties, and stents treat specific artery blockages, but doctors are discovering that these invasive procedures might be only a short-term fix for the underlying problem: poor blood flow. In HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP, Dr. Debra Braverman debunks common misconceptions about heart disease and explains a cutting-edge, noninvasive heart procedure known as enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). FDA-and Medicare-approved, EECP is cost-effective and, unlike surgery, completely safe and painless. Using blood pressure cuffs to push blood through the body, EECP actually helps promote the development of new blood vessels to naturally bypass clogged vessels and restore the flow of healthy, oxygenated blood to the heart. In doing so, EECP reduces or eliminates angina, increases energy and stamina, and returns patients to activities they thought they had given up forever. EECP is the primary heart disease treatment in China, yet U.S. doctors and patients are only beginning to realize its lasting benefits. HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP dispenses the critical information about heart disease and answers all questions about this revolutionary treatment.

A little-known, low-cost, high-benefit alternative treatment for heart failure and other serious cardiovascular conditions.:
Braverman is one of the country's leading practitioners and proponents of EECP, and she does an admirable job in this book of explaining what it is, who may benefit from it, and where to learn more about this little-known, but highly effective treatment for advanced heart disease. EECP is a non-invasive, safe, FDA-approved treatment for heart failure than has been proven to improve patients' prognoses and quality of life. After a standard course of therapy, many patients experience near-miraculous... more info
The only non-invasive, not the only non-surgical:
I really like the sound of this treatment, no pain, no real risks and lots to gain. The book is very convincing that EECP works. Also, it is apparently covered by health insurance in the USA. The hardest thing might be committing to the one hour treatment sessions, five days a week for seven weeks. On the down side, I was tempted to give the book 4 stars since the author trashes chelation therapy (on pg.190) but in all honesty, the EECP treatment if not the book, does deserve 5 stars!

Helpful Reference:
Faced with a diagnosis of end stage heart problems that there isn't any surgical procedure available for this book provides valuable information on the EECP therapy.
A Magnificent Life-Saving Book:
Immensely readible and clear, this book documents the amazing efficacy of a simple, painless, out-patient procedure that resolves problems of angina and heart disease in 80% to 90% of sufferers without the pain, anxiety, costs and risks of having invasive cardiologists put stents in your arteries or attempt open heart surgery. It shows, only too clearly, that the vast majority of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are declining to advise patients of this option until the patients are so far gone from... more info
