From the Editors

There's no doubt about it-people with heart disease lack energy. The heart needs a large amount of oxygenated blood flow to continuously meet it huge energy demands. That's where the new triad of cardiac health comes in-CoQ10, carnitine, and ribose. The synergistic combination of these energy-supplying nutrients maximizes the amount of oxygen that the heart and skeletal muscle can extract from the blood by accelerating the rate at which cells convert nutrients into energy. In "The Sinatra Solution", board-certified cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra discusses the importance of energy metabolism on cardiovascular health and the positive impact these three energy-supplying nutrients have on the cardiovascular system. Dr.Sinatra knows that undestanding energy metabolism in the heart is critical to devising effective therapies for treating heart disease. He guides readers through he basics of energy metabolism and cardiac bioenergetics, and clearly explains the role of ribose, carintine, and CoQ10 in the body and specifically how they affect heart health. He presents concise and informative case histories and scientific studies that demonstrate the important contribution the supplemental use of these energy-supplying nutrients makes in the lives of people with heart disease every day. While the main focus of "The Sinatra Solution" is on improving heart health, this book also touches upon the positive effect the triad has on other diseases and disorders. Readers will learn how these miraculous nutrients work throughout the body, essentially charging up evry body cell to function at optimal capacity.

Metabolic Cardiology
This is a great book. I learned a lot about how our food and oxygen intake are converted into energy. Dr. Sinatra explained it in layman's term that even with my limited knowledge in medicine, I was able to comprehend it. I have to read it twice though. It gave me confidence on how to pick the best supplements and right dosage to take care of my cardiac and vascular wellness.

Read it!
This book is more technically sound than I expected. It provides hope for those of us with a chronic energy crisis. Energy at the cellular level may be just what we've been missing. I highly recommend this information for potential renewal of vitality.

"Your husband's next step is a heart transplant..." NOT ANYMORE!!
The information in Sinatra Solution is crucial for anyone with cardiac concerns or want to better understand how to avoid developing heart disease. In this book, Dr. Sinatra explains the details behind his success of taking patients who were on heart transplant waiting lists and returning them to a normal quality of life, sometimes free of any prescription drugs whatsoever. Magic? maybe! ;-)

In the back of this book, Dr. Sinatra even provides an easy to follow list of supplementation protocols based upon types of cardiac concerns, even for the well-person and the "world class athlete" who wants to avoid cardiac concerns.

18 months ago a cardiologist with Metro Heart Group near St. Louis told me "[your husband's] heart is so badly diseased ... his next step is a heart transplant." Three days later I took my husband back to the ER for probable pneumonia but instead the local ER team loaded my husband's IV line with Lasix then 2 hours later he experienced ventricular tacchycardia with torsade de pointes (80% fatal rhythm) before flat-lining while in their care. After calling a code blue he was resuscitated with 200 joules electric shock and given several types of electrolytes by IV and injection. This was a very TRAUMATIC experience no one should be subjected!! Then a local electro-physiologist informed me "Your husband will be dead within 2 weeks, likely in a matter of a few days" after my husband refused to have an AICD implanted. (We still believe having an AICD would have severely affected his quality of life!!)

Together we decided IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF OUR HEALTH! A wonderful friend strongly encouraged I get a copy of Dr. Sinatra's books (she specifically mentioned Sinatra Solution) ASAP if I wanted to help my husband remain among the living. I ordered this book through Amazon that very night and it arrived 2-3 days later. THANK YOU AMAZON!!

Possible heart transplant needed? Likely dead in a few days?!?! NOT ANYMORE!!!

Within SIX WEEKS after the local cardiologist gave us that fateful prognosis and that fateful ER situation, my husband was able to resume normal daily activities, walk 5 miles in a single day, still go shopping that evening, and overall had more energy and vitality than he had experienced in the past 30 years. My husband made a remarkable recovery!!

My husband's recovery is not a "miracle", it was a sensible recovery once the energy system of the human body is understood. We followed the protocols provided by Dr. Stephen Sinatra in this book, along with avoiding the "food chemicals" such as artificial food colors (FD&C Blue 1 can be fatal), artificial sweeteners, bleached or enriched flour or commercial dough products which often contain brominated dough conditioners, white rice (brown rice is fine!), high fructose corn syrup, brominated vegetable oil, etc, and a sensible exercise program.

In Sinatra Solution, Dr. Sinatra reveals his "awesome foursome" of supplements as magnesium, l-carnitine, co-enzyme Q10 and d-ribose which all affect the energy system at the cellular level. We also learned the value of "fish pills" (as our current cardiologist calls them)as an anti-arrythmic - also mentioned in the protocols this book. (The most economical source I have found for d-ribose is here: http://www.amazon.com/NutraBulk-D-Ribose-Powder-ONE-KILOGRAM/dp/B0011G6HCM )

The most significant revelation that I learned by watching an interview of Dr. Stephen Sinatra M.D. that is MISSING from this book is the fact that ATP is one and the same as the oriental concept of chi/qi. As he further points out in this book, the heart muscle cells require the most ATP than any other cell in the body. Hence d-ribose supplementation is crucial for boosting the level of ATP (chi/qi) in the sick cardiac patient. As Sinatra points out, the body doesn't make enough ribose during times of stress, hence why the ATP (chi/qi) production drops off.

I have since loaned out my own copy of this book so many times that I now pick up extra copies to gift away to others. When my husband was hospitalized this year for an unrelated situation many of the hospital staff asked to borrow our copy of Sinatra Solution after hearing his story - kitchen staff, patient services, therapists, RNs, LPNs, even a medical doctor was intrigued to browse the book after hearing my husband's story (which was validated by our current cardiologist.)

Since I began following Sinatra's protocols as outlined in this book to maintain a healthy heart, I have gone from being hypertensive to routinely having a blood pressure of 106/68 and I am no longer on any prescription drugs whatsoever. I am still severely overweight, but now I have abundent energy to be more active hence I too am regaining my own health.

Thank you, Dr. Sinatra, you have helped us tremendously by sharing your candles of knowledge and experience!

UPDATE FEBRUARY 2010: My husband recently celebrated his SECOND birthday since his untimely experience with DEATH at the hands of the medical team in Lake St. Louis, Missouri. Without learning of Dr. Sinatra's protocols as published in this book, these past 2 years would have been much different for us. Despite a serious blow with another illness (the doctors believe it's Lyme Disease after we visited a horse farm which was only possible since my husband had recovered from heart disease...) my husband's ejection fraction has returned to the 50% range despite having previously been documented several times in the 15% to 20% range. 50% is in the NORMAL range - some would call it an AMAZING MIRACLE, we call it Metabolic Cardiology ;-)

This book literally saved my life.
I followed the recommendations in this book and have substantially reduced my plaque build up (confirmed by CTA scans) and have actually increased the injection fraction of my heart. The "Awesome Foursome" is truly amazing. I have been following these guidlines for a year now. The differences have even amazed my cardiologists. My blood pressure systolic is now below 100 compared with over 120 prior to changing to the PAAM diet and using the supplements recommended by Dr. Sinatra.
