An important health book for some people:

The inexpensive and readily available amino acid L-Argenine, rather than statins, are the key to health...for some: http://www.vitacost.com/Doctors-Best-Sustained-Immediate-Release-L-Arginine


Customer review from amazon.com:

The High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein blood test is a predictor of future heart attack and stroke

If your High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Blood Test is over 3, you are in serious danger of a heart attack or stroke. My test was 11.4 and after taking 4 to 6 grams of L-Arginine, 40 mg of Zocor and walking 3 to 4 miles each of 3 to 4 days a week, it decreased to 5.96 in 6 weeks.
I kept at it and in another 6 weeks, it was down to 1.79, so it was under the threshold danger level. I was made aware of a risk of a big potential problem with this test and it was in time to do something about it. A previous test of C-Reactive Protein was not high, but the "High Sensitivity" or "HS" C-Reactive Protein Test is a much better measure of inflamation in the artery and coronary vessel walls.
I think some doctors are very jaded about research and slow to buy into the latest tests and research because they have so many drug salesmen coming to their offices each day. Doctors need to order this test as a matter of routine.
Thank goodness for the ladies in the church's prayer group that started praying for me when I learned I had a problem from a EBT Heart Scan, which resulted in getting the blood test and finding the information to get it under control.
