Summary

The Blood Thinner Cure condenses decades of medical research on heart diseases into an easy-to-understand explanation: injury-producing blood flow is what damages the arteries. The well-researched solution? Thin the blood so that it doesn't injure the arteries in the first place. Based on these results, the authors have created a simple seven-step lifestyle plan that involves regular blood donation, extra fluids, and sensible lifestyle strategies.
