The Cholesterol Lie
AMAZING NEW HEART-DISEASE BREAKTHROUGH
If you think total cholesterol is the only key to heart health, you're wrong. Maybe dead wrong. By Joe Kita

When David Rubinson, a successful record producer for such performers as Santana and the Pointer Sisters, sought care from Dr. Superko, he was already a veteran of two coronary bypass operations. Yet, for years he had been following the diet, exercise, and medication regimens prescribed by other physicians, and, based on conventional testing, his lipids appeared to be under control. But his advanced cardiovascular tests from Berkeley HeartLab revealed abnormalities overlooked by the conventional tests.

"Small, dense lipoprotein. Fibrinogen. C-reactive protein. Homocysteine. Lipoprotein(a). HDL2b. These are just a few of the measures that appear on reports from the Berkeley HeartLab, an advanced cardiovascular diagnostics center headed by Dr. Superko… but they represent the cutting edge of heart-disease prevention."
|
"With Dr. Superko's guidance… Rubinson has all these new numbers within acceptable ranges and can claim, with confidence and authority this time, that his disease is under control. 'When I talk about Superko, tears come to my eyes,' says Rubinson. 'Because he saved me. Without this man, I'm gone."
