Lipoprotein(a), The Heart's Quiet Killer: A Diet & Lifestyle Guide

Beautiful book the photographs are beautiful the recipes are very helpful and he's an exceptional doctor and person. I write this from a place of great sadness an irony because I'm a victim of the worst kind of doctor here in New York City we're almost 8 years ago I was violated and the doctor chose to lie and make a mockery of my patient right somebody being violated and the fact that I care about mother earth I'd ask would you consider paper cups instead of Styrofoam before my patient rights were violated and I had to get surgery on my eye it's worse than I could ever convey but in New York City we're talking very serious breaches of ethics and more. I had gained over 40 pounds I'm still suffering PTSD insomnia I've now lost the weight with coaching but I'm still very damaged I'm still having problems I write this from a place of great sadness an irony because I'm a victim of the worst kind of doctor here in New York City we're almost 8 years ago I was violated and the doctor chose to lie and make a mockery of my patient right somebody being violated and the fact that I care about mother earth I'd ask would you consider paper cups instead of Styrofoam before my patient rights were violated and I had to get surgery on my eye it's worse than I could ever convey but in New York City we're talking very serious breaches of ethics and more.

I have been researching Liproprotein(a) (LP(a)), cholesterol, and heart desease for some time now and bought this book thinking it would have more details about LP(a) since it is written by a practicing cardiologist. I read "Practicing Medicine Without a License?" by Owen Fonorow and "Stop America's #1 Killer" by Thomas Levy. Both of these books are outstanding and I highly recommend them. However, this book has only general information about LP(a), approximately 19 page, and an enormous number of vegetarian recipes, approximately 113 pages. I wasn't looking for a vegetarian cookbook, I already have lots of them. If you know nothing about LP(a), this book might be a primer, but nothing more. On that issue I would give it two stars. If you are looking for a vegetarian recipe book, this one is good and I would give it four stars for that content. In combination, for me, it was only a three star book.

I would recommend this book to anyone!

Thanks to a brief Youtube talk by the author Joel Kahn, MD, I learned that I should have my LP(a) measured. It turned out to be extremely high. This books gives me the tools to successfully deal with that situation.

Lots of useful information.

Amazing recipes.

Poor quality. Can't hardly see the print.

the book has extremely small font and is was too light. No amount of adjustment to settings can make it readable. I have many kindle books have never experience this before. I will order the paperback.

I can’t see print on some pages.
