Despite the billions of pounds spent on researching its causes, conventional medicine continues to offer treatments that are based on false observations.

Find out the real causes, how to treat heart disease and how to prevent it in this essential guide.

Each book in thisauthoritative new series focuses on a common health condition or concern, to help readers make informed decisions about their health, and the health of their families.
