In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Kilmer S. McCully explains what is really behind the epidemic of heart disease. For many years, clogged arteries have been inaccurately viewed as the cause, rather than a symptom of heart disease.

-- Lays out a plan with menus for putting more B vitamins in our diet
-- Discusses how food processing and additives compromise our health
