WHAT MAKES DR. DWIGHT LUNDELL SO CONTROVERSIAL
Dr. Dwight Lundell is a retired distinguished
cardio-thoracic surgeon from Arizona with more than 5,000 surgeries to
his credit in the 25 years that he practiced his profession. He openly
admits to once being a part of prominent physicians labeled as opinion
makers, whose pronouncements are taken as gospel truths. Among these
declarations is the assertion that heart disease is simply the result of
elevated blood cholesterol, and that the only accepted therapy is to
lower cholesterol by prescribing statin medications and following a low
fat diet.
However, medical and scientific facts of recent years do not support the fallacy of the cholesterol theory, as all point to a new factor - arterial inflammation - as the true cause of heart disease. Dr. Lundell's own experience with his patients would confirm this. Most of his patients have normal cholesterol levels, but all of them have inflamed arteries.
Declaring that the recommended conventional approach is no longer scientifically or morally defensible in the light of insurmountable evidence, Dr. Lundell came out in the open to admit a very great big medical blunder that was being peddled by the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry for decades. He authored two books, "The Cure For Heart Disease," in which he outlined his method for reversing heart conditions; and "The Great Cholesterol Lie," which revolves around the raging cholesterol controversy.
Finally, in 2003, Dr. Lundell gave up his lucrative surgical practice to refocus his career toward the dissemination of information regarding the cholesterol controversy and nutrition therapy. Through the writing of books and articles, making presentations and speeches, and accepting interviews, he hopes to gain mileage for his views, foremost of which is the prevention and reversal of heart disease through healthy nutrition and changes in lifestyle.
Among his credentials are;
- Certifications from the American Board of Surgery, the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
- "Off-pump" heart surgery pioneer
- Inducted into the Beating Heart Hall of Fame
- Named to the top 10 doctor's list by Phoenix Magazine for 10 years
