From the Back Cover:
“In The Cardiovascular Cure, Dr. Cooke has translated the research of our field into life-saving information that we can all use. If you really care about your cardiovascular health, you must read this book!”
--Louis J. Ignarro, Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of Nitric Oxide
“This authoritative book appropriately points out why everyone should worry about the health of their endothelium and, better still, do something to protect it if it shows signs of damage. Early identification and treatment of reduced nitric oxide release should be the preventive agenda for the new millenium.”
--Jay N. Cohn, M.D., Professor of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School
“This book should be read by all patients with heart disease as well as anyone at increased risk for a heart attack or stroke. The comprehensive risk reduction program recommended by Dr. Cooke uses the most advanced research to help everyone improve the health of their blood vessels.”
--William L. Haskell, Ph.D., Stanford Center for Research in Disease Prevention
“The Cardiovascular Cure is a lucidly written description of EDRF and endothelial dysfunction. Treatment with exercise and a diet rich in arginine, vitamins, and anti-oxidants is important to the many patients prone to develop heart attacks or stroke.”
--Dr. Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Texas, 1998 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine
“Helping yourself prevent a heart attack means knowing more than your ‘cholesterol count.’ In this clearly written book, Dr. Cooke introduces you to the important role played by the endothelium (the lining of your blood vessels) in this process, and what you can do to keep this vital organ as healthy as possible.”
--Gerald Reaven, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine
