Matters of the Heart Wednesday, July 11 7:00-8:00 pm
Heart disease is the number one leading cause of death amongst men and women in the US. In fact, the first sign of heart disease in 50% of all cardiac deaths is death itself. However, there is a variety of alternative methods of early detection and natural treatments that most doctors don’t know about. In this lecture, Dr. Ken Hoffman will present many cutting-edge approaches to detection of early risk, natural treatments that can reverse these risks including diet and lifestyle advice. This lecture is a must if you want to learn how to avoid becoming a statistic.
At the end of the lecture, Dr. Hoffman will be doing a free Heart screening using a non-invasive test called the DPA (Digital Pulse Wave Analysis).
