More than 30 years ago, a young Harvard pathologist offered the medical community a theory for the cause of one of today's biggest killers-- heart disease. It is called the Homocysteine Theory and is the medical breakthrough that inspired Andrew Weil to label Dr. McCully as a visionary medical pioneer well ahead of his time. This discovery has the potential to save millions, yet ironically destroyed Dr. McCully's medical career. Homocysteine, a byproduct of metabolism, has been discovered to be a better risk indicator of heart disease than high cholesterol. A simple B6 vitamin and folic acid play a major role in controlling homocysteine levels. This proven theory will change the way the medical establishment views and treats heart disease. Today, the medical community is beginning to accept Dr. McCully's findings transforming his story from medical heresy to legitimate medicine. Updated and revised, complete with a new introduction by Walter Wilett, this eye opening book combines Dr. McCully's personal story and scientific philosophy with a fascinating exposition of his discovery and a special program to make use of this information to improve overall health.

A revolutionary and practical approach to preventing heart diseases, improving health and promoting life-long wellness. 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. Now, McCully shows you how to cut your risk of heart disease by controlling the real culprit, homocysteine. Considered one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in recent years, McCully's findings have been validated by numerous large-scale studies.

This personal scientific memoir describes how a chance observation concerning artery disease in children with rare inherited abnormalities of metabolism, often called experiments of Nature, led to the discovery of a new theory of heart disease, cancer and diseases of ageing. As explained in subsequent chapters, this new theory places the amino acid homocysteine at the heart of altered metabolism of diseases of ageing. Not only does this theory illuminate and explain the origin of these diseases, development of this theory logically leads to a novel and revolutionary metabolic and nutritional program for disease prevention and treatment, potentially benefiting individuals and populations.

Heart disease is the number one killer in America, & for 85 years the cholesterol theory of heart disease reigned supreme. But it has never been proven that fats & cholesterol cause arteriosclerosis or that lowering fat & cholesterol in our diets will reduce our risk of developing heart disease. McCully explains what is really behind the epidemic of heart disease. He reveals how the vitamin B deficiency in our diet has produced harmful blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid produced in the body, that damages the arteries, leaving them susceptible to cholesterol & fat deposits. He shows you how to cut your risk of heart disease by controlling homocysteine.

In the aftermath of the discovery of the essential amino acid methionine in 1922, a new sulfur amino acid was discovered a decade later by Vincent DuVigneaud as a product of the degradation of methionine. This new amino acid, homocysteine, was found to be an important intermediate compound in the metabolism of methionine, cysteine and other sulfur amino acids through studies in animals. Although methylation reactions and one carbon metabolism were found to be related to the metabolism of homocysteine, little was known of the biomedical significance of this obscure sulfur amino acid in the 1950s. The studies of children with mental retardation, dislocated optic lenses, osteoporosis and other skeletal abnormalities, and a propensity for arterial and venous thrombosis, revealed the new inherited disease homocystinuria in 1962. A new concept of the importance of homocysteine in human disease was developed after the chance observation of rapidly advancing arteriosclerosis in children with different inherited enzymatic abnormalities of homocysteine metabolism by Kilmer McCully in 1969. This concept led to the development of the Homocysteine Theory of Arteriosclerosis, which stimulated an extraordinary effort to understand the importance of homocysteine in human disease by investigators in laboratories and clinics worldwide. As a result of over 17,500 published investigations in subsequent years, the obscure sulfur amino acid homocysteine was elevated to the status of "the cholesterol of the 21st century" because of its prominent involvement in human vascular disease. Extensive human studies identified the elevation of plasma homocysteine as a potent, independent risk factor for vascular disease, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Many other important human diseases were subsequently found to be affected by homocysteine, as described by the authors of several chapters in the present book. These diseases, many of which are correlated with aging, include neurodegenerative diseases and dementia, epilepsy, uremia, osteoporotic fractures, anemia of renal failure, infection by HIV+, glaucoma, macular degeneration, bariatric surgery for obesity, celiac disease and psoriasis.

Your homocysteine level is the single most important statistic you need to know in order to determine how healthy you are and how long you will live. Your 'H level' is now widely understood to be a greater risk factor for heart disease than cholesterol. Homocysteine expert Dr James Braly has shown that a high homocysteine score is a major risk factor for cancer, arthritis and even obesity. In this accessible book Dr Braly and leading nutritionist Patrick Holford show you how to assess your H level and suggest 10 remarkably simple changes to your diet and your lifestyle that will lower your score and dramatically cut your risk of ever having cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and many more serious ailments. Learn how to: test your homocysteine levels; reduce your risk of disease; slow down the ageing process; improve your health; and radically increase your life expectancy.

The goal of Discovery: Science as a Window to the World is to relay the excitement of sciene by exploring selected topics in biology and medicine in a way that reveals the process of discovery. Each chapter will focus on the curiosity and creativity that drives scientists to wonder, observe, question and experiment. One impetus for this project is the recognition of a growing demand among instructors for a book that departs from fact-stuffed textbooks and instead engages students in the discovery process at a personal level. Emphasizes the process of discovery through interviews and key experiments. Written by a best-selling author. Provides an in-depth, conversational look at the science behind several "hot topics" in biology. Each chapter traces the beginnings of the field with stories of how serendipity and scientific inquiry intertwine. Presents the background to a field by including the scientific literature-so the reader does not have to do a literature search or plow through a review article. Many essays introduce the work of overlooked scientists or "unsung heroes." Alexey Olovnikov (telomeres), Leroy Steven (stem cells), to name a few. Also, well-known scientists are interviewed: Stanley Miller, Carl Woese, John Gearhart, and others. The essays show how ideas interact and coalesce from different lines of research. Highlights the role of the media in interpreting science for the public.
