A very thorough compilation
Dr. Dach has put together a most thorough compilation of the alternative viewpoints of heart health and specific treatment modalities of heart disease. The writing is clear and he pulls no punches in his condemnation of certain allopathic approaches.He brings clarity to poorly designed research studies and explains why different protocol are called for. Whether it is the use of coronary calcium scores or the benefits of testosterone therapy or the qualities of Ouabain as a cardiac drug, it is broken down for the layman to understand with multiple references at the end of each chapter. I personally would have like to see more on chelation therapy and peptide protocols.I recommend this book, wholeheartedly, for anyone seeking an alternative viewpoint for either prevention or treatment of existing conditions utilizing an alternative and novel approach that digresses from the traditional medicine arsenal of drug therapy, stenting, and heart bypass.

An entirely different approach to heart health!
Dr. Dach’s new book, Heart Book is a game changer. As a result of reading it, I encouraged one of my patients to get a coronary artery calcium score. To make a long story short, here is the message that I received from him today. I just want to thank you for making a difference. Here is the message that he sent to me.I wanted to thank you because you probably saved my life. You convinced me to get the calcium scan done which resulted in a nuclear stress test. The results of that showed I needed an angiogram which has now shown I need major bypass surgery.The cardiologist said I was a fatal heart attack waiting to happen. He said I must have a guardian angel that has kept me alive so far. I owe you my life, thank you very much.

My Doctor
Dr. Dach writes with certainty. Each short chapter ends with it’s own references, allowing this form of factual writing a smooth transition to each source. The specific information is woven in among some examples of real patients; one of the ways doctors learn throughout their careers. This allows the reader a better understanding of the current topic.May this book open your eyes and thus your heart to new ideas that will make a difference as a heart patient.I know because I am one that my cardiologist said to me, “What did you do?”

Lots of great information about heart health
Jeffrey Dach has put together a wide range of possible interventions with supporting references.Many of the potential interventions are less well known… like the fact that tocotrienols can reverse calcification.Yet many of the potential interventions like Oubain felt like they needed to be fleshed out a bit more.Magnesium could benefit from a more extended discussion on which form is most effective. Magnesium is the major counter ion to calcium… and thus is very pertinent. High magnesium levels correlate with low calcium scores and visa versa!EDTA gets a very slim mention… and feels like it’s been under discussed e.g. Is it reasonable that a person with a calcium score of 300 would require the same amount of chelation as someone with a score of 3000, 4000 or 5000?The book desperately needs some diagrams e.g. When discussing the structure of tocopherols v’s tocotrienols… and many other molecules… a picture would literally have been worth a thousand words. It’s often difficult to understand what Jeffrey means due to a lack of diagrams.There seem to be a couple of typo’s e.g. p98 …”the carbons are located on the opposite sides of the double bonds (trans)” N.B. “Carbons” should be “hydrogens”On the same page Tocotrienols are referred to as a “new form” of vitamin E. They’re hardly new. Perhaps Jeffrey simply means that we have gained a new appreciation of their usefulness? In many instances a diagram would have helped contextualise the sentence.The lack of an index at the back is frustrating. It can be quite hard to go back and find an interesting reference without an index?Each chapter comes with a list of references. Which slows your reading and takes up space. It would have been better to have a combined reference list at the end of the book.Calcium scoring gets a lot of print space in the book… even though it was obvious that there are a lack of studies using calcium scoring to prove that it is possible to reverse your calcium score. This is primarily because calcium scoring has only recently started to be recognised as the most accurate way to predict heart disease. As a result Jeffrey does not attempt to suggest it should be possible to reverse your calcium score and rather suggests that it would be sufficient if you can reduce the yearly progression of calcium score to 15% or less a year.Calcium scoring itself should be discussed a little bit more. Should we score the calcium in the entire body? Or just the heart? It is rare for a study to consider the calcification of the entire body… yet it will be the better perfused soft tissues that will decalcify first… and the poorly perfused regions (such as the heart) which will be decalcified last. This obviously has a major impact on how effective any treatment will appear to be? Good treatments may be under appreciated because patients simply had a higher total soft tissue calcium than normal?It would have been nice if Jeffrey had attempted to rank the various interventions in some kind of order. Otherwise you’re left with the impression of a lot of possible interventions… but may have a hard time focussing in on the most important ones.Thank you very much Jeffrey for highlighting the role of infection in triggering calcium deposition. This is a very useful point that has mostly been overlooked. However it begs the question of whether antibiotics are useful in controlling these infections?It’s these kinds of missing details that gave the book only 4 stars… even though it’s a great book.Overall the book makes multiple thoughtful suggestions and if you want to learn about how to improve your heart health you ought to run out and buy one.:-)

A Must Read on Heart Disease
Dr. Dach has done it again, unmasked the fallacies in modern medicine’s treatment of heart disease in his newest book, Heart Book. He cites sound research that supports his position that cholesterol is not a predictor of heart-attack risk, but that the simple, calcium score test is. In fact, low cholesterol is can be the cause of other diseases. And further, how the cost-effective Linus Pauling Protocol is a safe and cheap supplement program along with a nutritious diet that can reverse heart disease. Multi-million dollar cardiac catheterization labs and cardiac bypass programs at your local hospital would become obsolete and disappear. Heart disease would no longer be the #1 killer. Thank you Dr. Dach for exposing the antiquated and costly procedures used today in treatment of heart disease.

Neues Buch von Dr.Jeffrey DachAug 20, 2018Der hochgeschätzte Kollege Jeffrey Dach aus Florida/USA hat ein neues Buch veröffentlicht, daß ich jedem interessierten Leser ans Herz legen möchte (bisher nur auf Englisch erhältlich) –Als Hormon- und Mikronährstofftherapeut sehe ich die aktuelle kardiologische und auch neurologische Sicht auf die Ursachen und die Therapie der koronaren Herzerkrankung und der Hirngefäßerkrankungen seit jeher kritisch. Die einseitige „Verteufelung“ des Cholesterins ist einfach nicht haltbar.Dr.Dach belegt seine Thesen mit zahlreichen Studien und Zitaten und bietet interessante therapeutische Alternativen.
