• Summary:"Dr. Baum founded the Baum Center for Integrative Heart Care, where he uses a combination of traditional medical procedures and alternative therapies to achieve optimum healing for his patients. In this book, he shares his innovative approach, which begins by empowering each of us to become educated "consumers" in the area of heart care. Using easy-to-understand language, Dr. Baum takes us step-by-step through the fundamentals of how heart disease starts and progresses, and explains heart tests such as the electrocardiogram, stress test, and angiogram. Then he presents the entire gamut of treatment options - from the leading cutting-edge methods to the most natural, including a heart-healthy lifestyle program of stress reduction, nutritional counseling, exercise training, and herbal and vitamin therapy."--Jacket.
