By Natasha Campbell-McBride

"Put Your Heart in Your Mouth provides not only a well-written, easy-to-understand expose, but also a practical plan for preventing heart disease and regaining health, one that involves a return to traditional foods and an avoidance of environmental pollutants and common household chemicals. And her recipe section is fantastic Put Your Heart in Your Mouth is must reading for anyone interested in diet and health."--Sally Fallon, President of The Weston A. Price Foundation, Author of Nourishing Traditions

If you stop any person on the street and ask them what causes heart disease, you know what their answer will be: butter and eggs, meat and fat. This infamous Diet-Heart Hypothesis was proposed in 1953, and it took scientists all over the world a few decades to prove it wrong. The trouble is that while science was beginning to cast doubt upon its basic tenets, the Diet-Heart Hypothesis was giving rise to a powerful and wealthy political and commercial machine with a vested interest in promoting it--by means of anti-fat and anti-cholesterol propaganda presented relentlessly and with increasing intensity.

In Put Your Heart in Your Mouth, Dr. Campbell-McBride tackles the subject of CHD (Coronary Heart Disease), caused by atherosclerosis, a disease of the arterial wall that leads to narrowing and obstruction of the arteries. She maintains that conventional medicine does not actually know the cause of atherosclerosis or how to cure it, and explores in this book what it is, what causes it, and how to prevent and reverse it. She dispels the myth of the Diet-Heart Hypothesis, and explains that cholesterol is not the enemy but an integral and important part of our cell membranes.

Dr Natasha stays on course

I have a long memory for certain events in my life: crib memories, asthma attacks, etc. But I do remember when fed margarine for the first time. My taste buds did not react normally; this would have been in the early fifties (I was born 1946). So when the cholesterol scare came about, most people bought the message; but in my case, not fully. Something was definitely afloat as more and more nut and seed oils appeared on the shelves which were not there prior to the "scare." I remember one poor man who was placed on a no egg yolk diet, because we all know that is bad for the heart. Enter Natasha Campbell-McBride. Finally someone with the bravery to speak and write openly about the subject. She validates everything I learned while minoring in zoology, and verified my experiences while dissecting cat and foetal pig: their systems were entirely cholesterol. (Note: Dr Gonzalez correctly used pancreatic enzymes from the pig in his cancer cure--the pig's anatomy is similar to ours.) Years later, I am studying Dr Haas, Gottschall's SCD, Dr Natasha's GAPS and Heart books to validate my suspicions about the cholesterol scare. I am now into my 7th week of GAPS, and reaping the benefits from the original Haas research and protocol all made possible by Gottschall and Dr Natasha. In "Put your heart in your mouth" she restates her GAPS assumptions, Without assimilation of food in the gut the maintenance of our cells is impossible. If I were back in school, knowing the facts that I possess, it would not be difficult to choose which avenue of medicine to study, medical college or nutrition. My academics were cut short due to military service in the 'nam era, which was good in that it blocked my direction at the time to study medicine. Imagine the harm I would have inflicted by prescribing drugs. Of course the argument could be made in the opposite direction; but I am not all that convinced because Big Pharma shall ensure their profits in statins and oncology remains a breadbasket for profits for another 100 years. This would leave the only alternative if biochemistry is the basis for a young person's decision, and that would be advanced studies in nutrition, as did Dr Natasha at Sheffield in U.K. All other alternative health practices, as good as they are, fall short in understanding our body as an entire system dependent on the health of the intestinal flora in our gut. So for the young ones out there contemplating health care, consider following Dr Natasha's footsteps; it is not necessary to be a neurosurgeon to arrive at her conclusions. If an ordinary person like myself comprehends Dr Haas's "Management of celiac disease," written for medical doctors, imagine what you can do for humanity without prescribing drugs or surgery. The choice is yours, with dramatically less in student loans. Choose wisely. But first read both of Dr Natasha's books within the context of gut physiology. Learn to cook, grind your grains and bake, ferment. Broaden your learning by studying different diets the worldover. Familiarize yourself with Price-Pottenger Foundation. And most importantly, learn how to care for your own physiology.
