Davis: Heart Disease Exploited By Health Industry For Profit

Filed under: Health — @ August 18, 2007

You gotta love a cardiologist with the spunk and tenacity of Dr. William Davis

Special thanks to BamaGal and Regina Wilshire for pointing me to this incredible blog called “The Heart Scan Blog” by Dr. William R. Davis, MD, FACC.

As a cardiologist in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, Dr. Davis says he is “deeply disturbed by the state of affairs in heart disease” nowadays. In fact, he’s quite troubled by the profit-driven motives of “hospitals, drug companies, medical device companies, and physicians” over the issue of heart disease.

It seems the good Dr. Davis has had some experience with the low-fat diet as he detailed in his post from late last month called “The Ornish Diet Made Me Fat.” I absolutely love the humor he invokes in sharing what his life was like eating an ultra-low-fat diet in the early 1990s. It brought back some rather painful memories for me.

Click here to see what happened to Dr. Davis’ health after going on this ultra-low-fat diet prescribed by Dr. Dean Ornish and how that kind of diet helped me lose over 170 pounds in 1999…although I was completely miserable!
