This is the companion website for our book, The Heart Attack Germ. This site is updated weekly to inform our readers—and the public at large—of the continuing research into the prevention of strokes, heart attacks and the symptoms of Alzheimer's by fighting the germs and inflammation of cardiovascular disease.

Perhaps you've read about Chlamydia pneumoniae ― the "Heart Attack Germ" ― in Reader's Digest. Or you may have seen the story about it on Dateline NBC. But The Heart Attack Germ is the first and only book that reveals the full story of this astonishing medical breakthrough.

Chlamydia pneumoniae ― a type of bacteria ― has been identified by medical researchers the world over as the Heart Attack Germ. People infected by the germ are at a significantly increased risk for stroke, heart attack and other cardiovascular problems, including the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Several other common bacteria and viruses have also been associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart attack. All of these germs are contagious and easily transmitted from person to person. In fact, the odds are that you’ve already been infected by one or more of the germs of cardiovascular disease.

The discovery of the Heart Attack Germ has produced improved treatments that—for the first time—attack the underlying cause of cardiovascular trouble. Vividly written and illustrated, The Heart Attack Germ will show you how to dramatically reduce your risk of stroke, heart attack and the symptoms of Alzheimer’s—safely, painlessly, inexpensively and without surgery.

For many years, doctors knew that certain risk factors -- high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, cholesterol levels (HDL and LDL), smoking and obesity -- increased the probability of a stroke or heart attack...but they were uncertain exactly why. Now they know that inflammation is the key ingredient.

In the coming years, you will hear much more about the effect that inflammation has on the risk of stroke and heart attack. You'll also hear about the new inflammatory risk factors of C-Reactive Protein and fibrinogen. But there's no need to wait! Read The Heart Attack Germ now and learn how you can lower your risk of stroke and heart attack by detecting and reducing inflammation in your arteries!
