If you are interested in heart disease, treatment history, and breakthrough innovations, this book will interest you. The author, Douglas Mulhall, takes a comprehensive look at the causes of heart disease, standard therapies, and the uphill battle new technologies and innovative thinkers have in getting procedures to market.

Discovering the Nature of Longevity discusses how mainstream Western medicine is driven by profit, pharmaceutical companies, and old-school treatment standards. The regulatory process in the USA is myopic in its approach to focusing on single medical conditions and not the broader scope of inter-relationships of multiple diagnoses, which stalls the advancement of new inventions and approaches to treatments. The process is further bogged down with expensive testing requirements for clinical trials that block the benefits of these new therapies for patients.

The book discusses the effectiveness of a new invention called NanobacTX in treating heart disease and how cardiologists report its effectiveness in improving heart health. It has proven effective with hardening of the arteries due to calcification, yet it is unavailable because of regulatory testing. There is an in-depth look at the damage heavy metal build-up in the body contributes to the calcification process. The book further discusses the connection of diabetes to heart health, the effect of chronic inflammation, and how prolonged stress causes oxidative stress. Many of these are environmentally linked to heart health and are direct causes of heart disease, yet overlooked by mainstream medical doctors.

The author states, “health care is set up for profit, not curing diseases,” and suggests that big pharma relies on a steady income from drugs and a “standard of care” has been set up by physicians to support that system. This system produces “Valley of Death” as a barrier to effective low-cost therapies like nanotargeting and intravenous chelation as effective options for heart patients.

The book further states that the calcification of arteries is not just related to heart disease but also linked to brain calcification. It discusses how calcium deposits in the pineal gland affect brain cancer, stroke and the possible connection to Alzheimer’s and dementia.

In summary, the book points out new ways of looking at heart disease, contributing factors, and new, innovative treatments. There are detailed case studies supporting these claims and the results of many doctors who have experienced success using them on cardiac patients. I rate this book 4 out of 5. The book is well-written, with supporting references embedded throughout the text. Although I appreciate the attention to detail, this became annoying, as every time I touched a page, it took me to a reference site and took me away from the content I was reading. I found only one grammatical error, and although it was clinical in context, it was an easily read book.

The focus on heart disease, innovative treatments, and the critique of the healthcare system is compelling. The concept of NanobacTX and its potential benefits caught my attention, but the frequent references pulling me away from the text might be too distracting. I’m not sure this is a book I’d be eager to dive into right now.

“Discovering the Nature of Longevity” offers a critical perspective on the current state of heart disease treatment, highlighting how profit-driven motives and regulatory hurdles can impede the adoption of innovative therapies. The book sheds light on the challenges faced by new medical technologies in gaining acceptance within a system heavily influenced by pharmaceutical companies and traditional treatment standards.

Douglas Mulhall provides an eye-opening look at the heart disease industry, highlighting both the challenges and innovations in treatment. The exploration of new therapies like NanobacTX and the connections between heart health, diabetes, and stress are fascinating, though the constant references may distract from the flow at times. A valuable read for those interested in medical breakthroughs and the impact of profit-driven healthcare.

The critique of mainstream medicine’s profit-driven model and the exploration of alternative treatments sound intriguing. The discussion on calcification, its links to both heart and brain health, and the regulatory roadblocks preventing innovative therapies from reaching patients is eye-opening. It seems like a thought-provoking read, especially for anyone interested in longevity and cutting-edge medical advancements. I’d definitely consider giving it a shot.
