Harry A. Elwardt , N.D., Ph.D.
Even with America’s most advanced surgical procedures and pharmaceutical drugs, nearly one million Americans are still dying every year of heart disease. We are failing miserably at stopping this silent killer, which is not just a man problem; in fact, 500,000 women fall victim to heart disease each year, dwarfing breast cancer.
Heart Disease, which costs the American public over 298 billion dollars a year, is just one form of cardiovascular disease, others include: hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure and stroke.
Dr. Harry Elwardt is a doctor of naturopathy with a Ph.D. in health and nutrition. He believes there is no reason for this killer to rule the day. That through education of the causes of cardiovascular disease, the use of the latest in early detection devices, and the implementation of a good diet, exercise and nutritional supplement program, heart disease numbers can begin to decline in America.
We may be winning the war on terror, but we are losing the war against this illusive enemy. Don’t wait until you or someone you love fall victim to this ruthless killer.
Dr. Harry Elwardt has declared war on heart disease and in this book he lays out a strategic plan of attack. He believes it is the choices we make right now, not leaving it to chance, that determines our wellness and our destiny! Won’t you join him in turning the tide in this covert war against the American people?

INTRODUCTION
The Horrible Truth Be Known
Heart disease is our nation’s #1 killer. It has been our #1 cause of death among the American people for the past 80 years. It is a staggering financial burden with estimates as high as 2 billion dollars a day. It is estimated that 1,100,000 new or recurrent heart attacks occur each year in America. Half of all Americans who die this year will die from a heart attack. To better place this disease in perspective, every 20 seconds a person in the United Sates has a heart attack, and every 60 seconds a person will die from one. Often times the very first symptom is the last…a fatal heart attack. That means there is a killer running rampant in the United States who is responsible for the deaths of 2,600 Americans everyday. This is almost the equivalent of the two World Trade Center buildings collapsing each and everyday of the year. And yet more time, money and media exposure is spent securing our country’s security from terrorists than securing our protection from this silent killer. On the death certificate, the doctor might call it “natural causes”. Yet, dying of clogged arteries is no more “natural” than being run over by an 18-wheeler! You can avoid it! And assuming you survive a heart attack, you are usually so scared that you agree to whatever the cardiologist recommends, anything from an angiogram to bypass surgery. Those with advanced heart disease are told bypass surgery is the only option. What they are not told is that you can prevent heart disease, even if you are at high risk; that you can reverse heart disease, even if you have had a heart attack; and that you don’t need powerful prescription drugs or surgery to accomplish this. The information contained in this book is to help you get a better understanding of this #1 killer of Americans and to guide you into a path of natural healing and prevention. “We the People” have been duped into believing lies in the name of big profit. It’s time to Wake Up America and take control of our own health! You’ve heard the saying:
“You can pay me now or you can pay me later!” Well in this case you will pay later with more than just your finances; you will also pay with unnecessary pain and suffering, and maybe even your life. I’m not much of a statistics guy, but it’s true: every other person you know is likely to die of heart disease. However, my fellow American, you don’t have to worry about being a statistic, because I have a battle plan, and the first rule of engagement is: “In order to defeat your enemy, you must first know your enemy.”
So let us begin by learning as much as we can about this cold and merciless killer.
