This book is written to inform people who are at risk of vascular disease or who already have diagnosed disease. The issues are complex and patient study is required to form an educated opinion about what strategies are desirable to prevent and to manage these common diseases.

Concern about arterial disease has high priority in the public perception of disease. Drugs used to manage arterial diseases are among the most profitable chemicals ever invented. The extraordinary growth in variety and profitability of drugs to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and manage heart attacks and strokes is unmatched in medicine.  Big money is invested in marketing and vested interests compete to control the public perception of these diseases.

Cardiologists know that atherosclerosis is a disease caused by eating too much of the wrong foods and exercising too little, but they are primarily interested in prescribing drugs. They earn money and gain prestige from knowing about these drugs. They tend to ignore the advantages of changing disease-causing conditions and focus on treating the consequences. In all fairness to physicians, most of their patients will not cooperate with attempts to modify their behavior and do not alter their disease causing life-style.

The Alpha Nutrition Program is a relatively simple but effective technology. The project began years ago when I became ill and discovered that fasting resolved my illness. My personal experience led to my discovery of mechanisms of disease that I was never taught in medical school. One breakthrough in my thinking was to connect the idea of food proteins getting into to the body and interacting with immune mechanisms that generate disease. I realized that if foreign proteins from food could enter the circulation, they could cause immune complex diseases. This mechanism accounted for my symptoms.
