Thank you for visiting DrSears.com.  Medicine is not as complicated as we think, and likewise nutrition is not as simple as we are led to believe.  My goal at DrSears.com is to help make you think about both medicine and nutrition from a new perspective.  That new perspective is based upon understanding the molecular basis of inflammation at the cellular level.  It’s about how inflammation is the underlying cause of chronic disease, and how our diet can either reduce inflammation or increase it.

In the final analysis, it’s all about your genes,  especially how an anti-inflammatory diet can silence inflammatory genes.  Your ability to control cellular inflammation becomes the molecular definition of wellness.   This is why I hope you will use DrSears.com as your destination site to get the latest breaking information on anti-inflammatory medicine and its impact on 21st-century health care.

We are led to believe that statins are the greatest drugs the pharmaceutical industry has ever developed. It is true that they are the most profitable drugs ever developed, but they only reduce cardiovascular mortality by about 20 percent compared to a placebo.  This means that about 80 percent of the people taking statins to reduce elevated cholesterol will see no impact on their mortality from heart disease.  Furthermore, nearly 50 percent of individuals who have heart attacks also have normal cholesterol levels. So much for the major marketing message sent to Americans that cholesterol causes heart disease.
