The “Million Hearts” Initiative to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease

The Department of Health and Human Services has launched an ambitious campaign to save lives from heart attacks. The strategy is to control hypertension, to reduce high cholesterol, stop smoking and lower consumption of sodium and trans fat. I am happy to join the Initiative, but I expect to get much better effects by encouraging exercise and offering the widespread use of EDTA chelation therapy with appropriate nutrient supplementation. Curbing unnecessary catheterization testing and surgery are also near the top of my list. See the Dept.of Health and Human Services.
