Each day in America 3000 people have heart attacks, 1400 die, and 2200 undergo
bypass surgery or angioplasty. The majority of these catastrophic events occur
with little or no warning leaving us ill-prepared to deal with them. Two-thirds
of the victims actually have seen a physician shortly before their illness and
were reassured that there was nothing wrong with their heart! Many of the
deaths and most of the heart attacks are the result of under diagnosis and
under treatment, while 75% of the surgeries and angioplasties are due to over
diagnosis and over treatment.
This book will teach you how to avoid becoming an accidental victim of the
medical profession by learning about the weaknesses of the methods used to
diagnosis and treat high blood pressure and heart disease, how patients are
urged to undergo unnecessary bypass surgery or angioplasty more for the doctors
benefit than the patient's, what your options are for diagnosis and treatment
should you ever develop a heart problem, and how the heart can heal itself.
Learn how HMOs and managed care plans gamble with your health and your life by
providing only minimal care, and how they avoid more costly care by treating
the symptoms rather than the disease. Without the information from this
book, the doctor you select to treat you may be more dangerous than your
disease.

Living Longer with Heart Disease is out of print and no longer available.
While How To Protect Your Heart From Your Doctor teaches the patient how
to avoid becoming a victim of under diagnosis and under treatment, or over
diagnosis and over treatment, Living Longer With Heart Disease takes up
where the first book leaves off. Part I talks about why heart disease is often
silent, what are the many risk factors that make heart disease more likely to
appear, less well known complications of heart disease such as heart failure, why
heart disease often goes undetected in the female sex, how stress affects the
heart, and what are the various causes of chest pain that can be confused with
heart disease and result in unnecessary surgery.
Part II discusses the modern way to diagnose heart disease, what tests should
and shouldn't be used and why, what an abnormal test means, and how it should
be used in tracking the patient's disease, what are the best drugs and their doses
for the treatment of coronary artery disease, what are the effects of exercise on
the heart, and a discussion of a host of misconceptions about heart disease and
its treatment. The over inflated claims and under discussed side effects of
bypass surgery and angioplasty are described with newer references, and are
compared to the highly successful and safer alternative forms of treatment known as medical
therapy. In contrast, both surgery and angioplasty are highly unpredictable and
are often unsuccessful. If you have heart disease, or think you may get it, this
book may save your life.
Autism For Dads:
The Importance of a Father's Love

Statistical data implies that roughly 50% of fathers with children diagnosed as ASD leave
their families, unable to handle "the loss of the perfect child." Even though Erik's father
died suddenly in 1997, leaving him to grieve the "loss of the perfect dad," a legacy of
love and faith have remained as the beacon of light to illuminate God's path for him.
Erik has chosen to use the chronology of his own life as a way of illustrating the kinds of
things that helped him connect and become an active part of the family.
How Erik's father was able to bridge the gap between them is what Erik hopes to share
with others as they travel the same road toward understanding and acceptance.
In 147 pages, with research references to the importance of a father's love in the
development of the Autistic child, Erik describes his father's journey through grieving
the loss of the "perfect child" while trying to find common ground from which to
communicate.
Erik Weber was diagnosed with Autism, severe language disorder and retardation at 3 1/2
years old. A year later, the family was advised to "find an institution!" Today, at age 20,
Erik is a full-time university honor student in International Development Studies. In
addition to being a Southern California Special Olympics track and field gold medalist,
Erik volunteers for their fundraising projects.
In his own words, Erik states, "Unconditional love and trustworthiness are born in a heart
that understands humility and submission. God is the ultimate model for the qualities of
which I speak. From His WOrds and examples, my own father learned to become what I
call the 'perfect dad.' In writing my story, if I have inspired one father to 'take up the
cross' and help bear the responsibility of his Autistic child's reclamation, then I have
accomplished my goal. Likewise, if even one mom has been encouraged by my words
enough to understand that 'miracles' are still possible, my efforts are rewarded. My
Father's Love, both earthly and from Heaven's gate, is alive and well in my heart! From
it, I draw strength, courage, hope, and the ability to persevere into whatever my future
holds. May you experience the same renewal as you reflect on what I have said.
