Despite clear evidence of success, the cure was not broadly acknowledged until the 1990s. Why? Doctors readily acknowledge that the delay was caused by the unshakable yet wrong belief that ulcers were not caused by infection. http://www.medtech1.com/new_tech/newtechnologyfeature.cfm/92/6 & http://www.cdc.gov/ulcer/keytocure.htm

What were the impacts of this slow recognition? Thousands of patients continued to have their stomachs cut open or were treated with the wrong drugs by physicians who knew of the other treatment but didn't use it.

As with stomach ulcers, the barrier that has stymied efforts to identify and treat infection in heart disease has been inertia in medicine On one hand, skepticism about every new heart disease treatment is justified, because until now, after billions spent on research, no-one has found a clinically measurable cause of America's most prevalent illness.

Yet, for millions of heart patients who have no choices left except to die, it's time that more attention was given to drugs that are targeting infection instead of just symptoms in heart disease, and that are being prescribed by reputable cardiologists across America.

We hope that this information is helpful.
