"When my own father came down with cardiovascular problems, Dr. Fratellone was the physician I called." --Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD., author of New York Times bestsellers Fat Flush Plan and Before the Change. Integrated Cardiologist Patrick Fratellone, M.D., has noticed an alarming trend of treating health problems with ever-new-and-evolving drugs--often without regard to potentially dangerous side effects. Studies suggest that the best way to prevent cardiovascular disease is by modifying behavior. Yet society is fixated on obtaining easy solutions, which require little or no participation by the patient. Drug therapy may provide only temporary solutions for symptomatic relief and lead to complications. In many cases, these medications are unnecessary and produce no great benefit. Instead, Dr. Fratellone focuses on using vitamins, herbs and supplements to treat and prevent disease. You're on the Air with Dr. Fratellone is based on questions frequently asked by listeners of the New York City radio show House Calls with Dr. Fratellone. This valuable guide provides answers to the most frequently asked questions about vitamins and supplements for treating the heart non-invasively.
