II've been a critical care nurse for just over 20 years and for the last two years I've worked in an outpatient cardiology clinic. Lots of opportunities to see all kinds of heart patients. I see one very common factor in many of these patients. Symptoms that indicate that they are low in magnesium. Serum magnesium only provide you with a picture of one percent of the of the magnesium contained in the body. Chronic long-term daily use of 600 mg of elemental magnesium would in all likelihood eliminate or ameliorate 80% of chronic cardiac diseases. Could take as long as two years of supplementation to reverse some of these conditions.
Great book, highly recommended. Clearly expressed opinions, backed up by evidence, with a plausible alternative hypothesis. Tends on occasion to be a little too whimsical for my taste (a la book’s title), but that’s a style issue and it certainly didn’t prevent me enjoying the book or finding it compelling.
I agree but I really like his style…. as a non-medic I need a bit of light relief from the deep medical theory, long words and detailed descriptions. I find it a book that I can open at any page and just read a chapter again.
This is an excellent book which I wish more doctors and cardiac patients would read. "Settled science" about heart attacks and cholesterol is not at all settled, and Dr. Kendrick makes this abundantly clear with logic and humor.

Yes - really wasn’t meant to be a major criticism.
He's very easy to understand I find - direct and to the point
Great work getting Dr. Kendrick on! I've cited his work before, when researching the impact of EMF on our nervous system (which is made up of fat):
The two most widely prescribed statins are simvastatin and atorvastatin.
Atorvastatin increases risk for ALS seventeen fold, and simvastatin twenty three fold. There’s even one statin,
Lovastatin, that increases the risk for ALS 107 times!

i did not know of that "association"

This is very interesting subject to me and I just bought the book .
