Heart Failure Roundup: The CoQ10, Fish Oil, Statin Connection
Dr. Stephen Sinatra has always been ahead of his time as a cardiologist. In 1996, Dr. Sinatra wrote, "We are on the verge of witnessing a total transformation of health care in the United States. In today's disease-oriented society, most physicians wait until symptoms occur and then treat their patients with hospitalization, surgery, and expensive drugs. The cost of this type of care is high. The alternative involves a paradigm shift from disease to prevention. This shift would mean that disease is no longer big business. And it would mean that we would have to care for patients' minds and spirits, as well as their bodies" (from Optimum Health).
Dr. Sinatra shares information on the role that CoQ10, fish oil and other supplements play in heart health. He takes a close look at statin drugs and cholesterol. FAIM's goal is to help broaden prospectives through education and thanks Dr. Sinatra for sharing this vital information with our readers.
Businessman and retired Congressman Berkley Bedell founded the Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine in 1998.
