HEART MAFIA BY Dr.

BISWAROOP ROY CHOWDHURY

Expos on cardiologist-pharma company nexus gets simultaneous Gangtok release along with 27
cities
GANGTOK, 14 Feb: Everester Kazi Sherpa at a function held at Mt. Zion School premises here
today, formally released a book titled, Heart Mafia, written by Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury.
The book raises several questions on the functioning of cardiologists and pharmaceutical
industry involved in conducting heart surgeries.
The book is being released by India Book of Records in 28 cities across the country, including
Gangtok, with the aim to eradicate obsolete, unnecessary, unethical medical practices like
angioplasty and bypass surgery that are allegedly done, the book argues, purely for profit.
Author of over 25 books on memory, mind and body, Dr. Chowdhury in 2013 had also written a
book titled How to Return from the Hospital Alive.
In in his latest work, the author has exposed top cardiologists of the country accusing them of
using obsolete but highly profit making procedures bypass surgery and angioplasty.
Dr. Chowdhury has suggested a special lifestyle and diet plan to cure heart related problems
instead of surgeries.
According to the author, both angioplasty and bypass surgery dont ensure a lifelong cure.
Within 12-18 months a patient may have to go for these procedures again. So the patient
becomes a permanent customer of the hospital, he argues.
Dr. Chowdhury further suggests heart patients to adopt natural bypass - which is also known as
collateral circulation - approved and acknowledged by American Heart Association.
Natural bypass does not require any hospitalization and the death rate on the operation table is
zero percent and so is the rate of complications, he said. By this method, the heart makes its own
bypass in case of any blockage.
Referring to renowned medical journals, the author said that the special diet helps in formation of
nitric oxide which initiates or promotes formation of collateral arteries that are otherwise hidden.
Appropriate level of nitric oxide helps the heart to make its new path whenever any of the
coronary arteries are blocked. Nitric oxide also helps in reversing high BP, high cholesterol,
obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle diseases.
The author claimed that cardiologists know about natural bypass but deliberately hide the
method just to gain profit.
The author has also given the example of former US president Bill Clinton, who had succeeded
in curing his heart disease by adopting a special diet plan after failing to do the same despite
undergoing many surgeries.
