Outside of an emergency setting, there appear to be zero benefits to angioplasty and stents. Stents don’t prevent heart attacks, they don’t extend your life, and based on sham “placebo” surgery trials where they cut into you but don’t actually place a stent, they don’t even help with symptoms! But wait, that would mean hundreds of thousands of people are exposed to the risks of these operations for nothing? How do the doctors justify it? How do they get patients to sign up for it? And wait, why doesn’t it work if in fact, you’re opening up a blocked artery? These are some of the questions I addressed in my live 2.5-hour webinar on October 14th at 3pm ET.

And that’s just the first half! As you can see below I also covered the pros and cons of cholesterol-lowing statin drugs, dived deep into an exploration of the true risks and benefits so people can make a fully informed choice.

Here’s a list of the videos I gave sneak peeks of in the webinar before I answer your questions:

  • Do Angioplasty Heart Stents Work?
  • Why Angioplasty Heart Stents Don’t Work Better
  • Are Heart Stents Safe?
  • Weighing the Risks and Benefits of Angioplasty Heart Stents
  • Do Heart Stents Work for Angina Chest Pain?
  • Why Are Stents Still Placed If They Don’t Work?
  • How Cardiologists Game the System
  • How Common Are Muscle Symptoms from Statins?
  • Who Should Take Statins?
  • Are Doctors Misleading Patients About Statin Risks and Benefits?
  • The True Benefits vs. Risks of Statins
  • How Much Longer Do You Live on Statins?

   It is a very cool feeling that there are over 500 people around the globe, who are interested in nutrition and want to know even more. So keep up the good work.

   Dr. Greger did a fantastic job bringing his genius knowledge down to my level. I learned so much on all the ways to research effectively, thoroughly and truthfully. He was fantastic! He went over aspects enough times for me to get what he was talking about. So he didn't go too fast. He went just at the right pace. He did it with humor and fascination on a subject that can be tedious, he made it an adventure. I really appreciate all the work and planning that went into the four hours! Can't wait for him to do it again on another subject!

   This course is worth so much money and a huge value to those particularly in university and research. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!
