So says Dr Michael Mogadam who illustrates how even the best-intentioned doctors have failed to keep up with scientific breakthroughs in preventing heart attacks -- and are often advising patients to do the opposite of what is right. Among his other findings, Dr Mogadam shows that for thirty years American medicine has pegged cholesterol as Public Enemy Number One in the fight against heart disease -- and proves who wrong that analysis is. Dr Mogadam highlights the 20 risk factors associated with heart disease, of which cholesterol is only one, and offers a step-by-step guide to avoiding -- or controlling -- all of them. He includes his own Twenty Risk Factors diet, which combines good nutrition and the latest science with practicality and a joy in good food.

 Excellent condition. Like new. Paperback. Postage R55.00. Extra items free. At nineteen Bieke Vandekerckhove fell ill. The diagnosis was devastating: the fatal motor neuron disease ALS. Life expectancy: two to five years. So what did she do with the paltry bit of life that was left? By force of circumstance she was led to Saint Lioba Convent in Egmond-Binnen. There she learned Benedictine spirituality and to pray the psalms, which influenced her life for good. Three years later she learned that her illness had gone into remission but that it could flare up again at any time. She has been living with ALS for twenty years now. She is married and has two assistants to help her as necessary. Ten years ago she found the silence of Zen. This encounter also proved decisive. The Taste of Silence reflects what she experienced, saw, and tasted in the stillness of life: "Benedictine spirituality and Zen Buddhism became the two lungs through which I breathe."
