Summary: In addition to diet and exercise!
Comment: I understand the points of the previous reviewer. As a journalist, Carper might have included information from the studies he/she is referring to. However, I believe that those who are buying books like Miracle Heart are because they are already monitoring their diet and exercise to keep their hearts healthy. Supplements do just that: supplement what we are already doing. Co-Q10, ALA, HGH etc are not to replace choosing to exercise to eat a healthy diet. I took Carper's information as a means to supplement what I am already doing. My parents are taking Co-Q10 as part of their array of supplements and are feeling healthier. They get their supplements from a site called PapaNature because it offers documentation, a variety of brands and door to door service.

Summary: very informative
Comment: This book summarizes much of the latest research on prevention of cardiovascular related diseases. The author covers almost all (forgot, e.g. "melatonin") of the bases in relating the latest developments in diet related heart disease prevention, and as such I found it an excellent informative book. The author reports the studies, the results, the recommendations and the dosages relating to supplementation of vitamins, minerals, some herbal products, omega 3, etc. etc. The book contains new information that I believe has yet to be widely disemminated.. I discern the same weakness in this book as in much of the current information on diet, to wit, how to combine all into a single plan of treatment. The author might have reported to us that studies have yet to be done on how these divergent benefits of supplements can be advantageously and safely combined, but instead omitted any such discussion. Additionally, and I note this as another suspected weakness in my mind of the medical work currently being done on diet, it seems that all of the information is coming out of what I consider to be highly suspicious "population" studies, as opposed to research on individuals( or monkees) on the chemical effects on a single individual of supplementation. If I am going to take 1000 grams of vitamin C per day, I would like to know the immediate and long term chemical effect, as opposed to knowing that 6000 people lowered their risk of heart attack by 19% by so taking. And, then, immediately after reading the book, what do we get but one study concluding that excess C contributes to, rather than prevents, the problem. But as an educational tool this is a very fine effort!
