    Boy, I am so glad to hear a Dr say this! I read about Dr Jarvik's artificial heart and really didn't see anything that stood out as "successful". If you delve deeper into those kinds of devices, they are pretty much just approved as a measure of last resort. Hardly the perfect solution. Someday, I would like to watch the evening news without being bombarded with medicine ads. Just listening to the quickly-spoken side effects makes my spouse and I wonder why anyone in their right mind would WANT to take said medicines. Dr Jarvik was interviewed on one of the morning shows about his ads recently. His answers were very stiff and awkward. But I bet those checks were nice.

    Cholesterol has very little causation of CHD, it is a mere bystander and is a necessary substance vital to every cell in our bodies. Dont be fooled by this junk science! Read up on Drs. Duane Graveline, Russell Blaylock, and many others who are dispelling the lies and propaganda we have been sold by the Pharnaceutical companies.
