Ladd R. McNamara, M.D. - The Cholesterol Conspiracy
The Cholesterol Conspiracy, 2nd Edition, by Ladd McNamara, M.D., (see also http://cholesterolconspiracy.blogspot.com/) is an international best seller. It provides well over 200 medical references documenting the true cause of heart disease and atherosclerosis, ...which is oxidation and inflammation. Many people are prescribed statin drugs to lower their cholesterol, and it certainly lowers your cholesterol, but at what cost, and to what benefit? It has been shown time and time again that statin drugs' benefits are not really achieved by the lowering of cholesterol but from their modest antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effect. Medical studies have shown that because statin drugs have a modest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, they are not only useful in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the inflammation of arteries, but the inflammation of joints in arthritis, and even in Alzheimer's patients. However, there are tremendous risks associated with statin drugs, ...severe risks. It is Dr. Ladd McNamara's viewpoint that if one wishes to obtain an antioxidant effect, there are powerful, broad-spectrum antioxidants with powerful anti-inflammatory effects that have no toxic side-effects, which are extremely effective in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the inflammation of arterial walls, the inflammation of joints, and benefit Alzheimer's disease, as well as inflammation throughout the body much better than any pharmaceutical drug could ever do. If this is the case, why aren't we being told about them? Could there possibly be a profit motive that the pharmaceutical companies want to protect? In his book, Dr. Ladd McNamara makes an undeniable case, backed by medical research that the use of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids are not only safe, but effective in promoting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Of even greater concern, statin drugs lower the body's levels of co-enzyme Q10, and one cannot simply take CoQ10 to counter the effects of a statin drug, no more than a smoker can smoke two packs of cigarettes per day and undo the damage by taking vitamins. Dr. Ladd McNamara hopes this book would be read by both patients and their doctors, and together they can come up with a healthy alternative to the management and treatment of heart disease. Dr. Ladd McNamara emphasizes that one should NEVER use the book to self-treat, but only use it for informational purposes only, and should not make decisions regarding starting or stopping medications without the guidance of their physician.

Dr. Ladd McNamara's - The Power of Cellular Nutrition
"The Power of Cellular Nutrition" by Ladd McNamara, M.D." is an international best-selling audio CD on the importance and impact of quality nutritional supplements in people's lives. On this CD, Dr. Ladd McNamara sites medical studies, but more interestingly he brings to talks about his personal experiences from his medical practice before retiring from medicine in 2003. (Please refer to Ladd McNamara's blog: http://powerofcellularnutrition.blogspot.com.)
After listening to this CD many skeptics, as Dr. Ladd McNamara was himself originally, have opened themselves to the possibility that quality nutritional supplements may indeed be an important part of a healthy lifestyle program. It is important to eat right, exercise, get regular sleep, reduce stress and the exposure to toxic substances; however, Dr. Ladd McNamara makes the case that historically, medical doctors have not been taught to recommend quality nutritional supplements to their patients, and are therefore inherently skeptical to the idea of nutritional supplements despite years of favorable medical studies. Medical education has focused on the treatment of disease with drugs, ...and there is certainly a place for medications. However, if we take precautions, change our lifestyles, take quality supplements, we can promote health and hopefully reduce the need for medications and their inherent risks.
Heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, respiratory disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and many other chronic degenerative diseases, including the acceleration of the aging process (which is related to the disease process) are all related by one common denominator, ....excessive oxidative damage to cells, DNA, protein, lipids, cholesterol, and all other tissues throughout the body. Reduce the oxidation with antioxidants, optimize cellular functioning with quality supplements, and it makes sense that the body and immune system will function at an optimum. Therefore, one should enjoy better health and less disease. THIS is truly the Power of Cellular Nutrition.
