Braverman has done a real service to the millions of Americans being hurt by blood pressure drugs. He correctly points out that, while they do lower blood pressure, the side effects end up INCREASING mortality. Braverman gives good practical alternatives including nutrition, vitamins, and life style changes. He tries to be fair to the heart drugs and points out that the calcium channel blockers are the safest drugs and probably OK. Well, since he published in 1996, studies have shown that some of these drugs double your risk of cancer and increase the rate of heart attacks. Mark Kroll, PhD, FACC
 A poorly edited book makes for a difficult read. May 1, 2000
While the information in this book may be valuable, the poor arrangement of information and almost non-existent editing make it a difficult read. This undermines the potential validity of the information the author is trying to get across. I am left wondering if I can trust the message, given the poor quality of its packaging.Sentences are missing words, or say the opposite of what they apparently are meant to say. The impression given is that the author is not a native English speaker but the bio in the back suggests that he is. Important information about nutrition as it relates to hypertension and to Dr. Braverman's program is scattered somewhat randomly throughout the book and it is up to the reader to pull it all together so that it makes a cohesive whole. The reader who is prepared to ignore the poor writing may get something of value out of the book if he is willing to work at it.
