You may not have heard about this risk factor but the information chronicled in the book on this silent killer will convice you that this is one of the most important factors in determining if you or someone in your family is at added risk of heart attack or stroke. You will be on the "cutting edge."
" I have just finished your extensive chapter on Fibrinogen. You have been visionary in your early (1995) identification of what may well turn out to be, the next major breakthrough in stroke and heart attack prevention. After my more than 50 years in the medical profession, you have even opened my eyes! I am convinced that the information you present will save many lives."

Nine years ago during a routine physical examination, the author asked his physician for a rarely administered (at that time) blood test for fibrinogen, which revealed an extremely high blood level. There was very little information available on fibrinogen and no physician consulted at that time was aware of fibrinogen's multiple destructive roles in contributing to heart attack and stroke. These recently discovered related risk factors are outlined in the book. Faced with the dilemma of remaining a victim of an ailment without remedy or becomming an advocate in finding a treatment--Wilde spent 3 years of trial and error in developing a regimen that would reduce a lethal (94% heart attack risk) more than 200 points to a benign level. Do you know your fibrinogen level and how even slightly elevated levels can increase one's stroke and heart attack risk?
Do you or your doctor know how stress affects fibrinogen levels? Fibrinogen is also now considered to be 30-50% inherited and may affect as many as one in five? Read chapter 24--Making The Case Against Fibrinogen and be aware.
It became apparent to me--when I met the author at my Family Medical Center in 1997, that his research and knowledge of coronary disease detection had put him months if not years ahead of most physicians’ understanding of the subject. It would take yet another two years before CRP, homocysteine, chlamydia titers and fibrinogen would become topics of discussion in medical circles.
