Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 In the book the Schwarzbein Principle she talks about people regularly being diagnosed with diabetes after going on the heart healthy diet. She is an endocrinologist and has worked with curing diabetes with a low carb high fat diet. Also, just to prove that it's not totally unheard of to your inlaws you might pass them a copy of something like The Carbohydrate Addicts Healthy Heart Program, by the Hellers, I believe that the most important thing your fil could do would be to control his insulin, for me WAP came after I accepted low carb, then gradually also high fat.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yes and a dear friend of mine, after heart bypass, fed cancer with the low-fat diet prescribed for him which he was fearfully hanging onto for dear life. Feh. He's gone now and can you tell I'm still mad that he would not listen or research on his own. Check out Dr. at trackyourplaque.com for a perspective that uses nutrition to reverse heart disease - and not Ornish either.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I am in the SAME boat. My father-in-law also has had heart surgery, takes cumiden, has diabetes, had prostate cancer... his wife is a mess also including major memory loss...but their (other) children won't take her off lipitor. I am so sad for my husband to have to watch his parents go through all this. Here are a few links I liked during my efforts. http://www.heartprotect.com/ http://www.thecureforheartdisease.com/owen/HeartCureRD.htm http://www.heartprotect.com/ > > Hello, > > My father in law just had a pretty massive heart attack followed by > quadruple bypass surgery.
