For Immediate Release

SANTA BARBARA, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 9, 2005 --- The Atkins phenomena has been a piece of American culture since 1989. For almost two decades, Dr. Robert C. Atkins was a pioneering, yet simple diet doctor. He wrote best-selling books, saw patients daily at his alternative medicine center in Manhattan and had a regular radio show. When low-carb diets became the rage in the early part of this decade, as celebrities and consumers alike claimed huge weight losses while still eating red meat and butter, the idea of eating anything and looking great in the process was almost too good to be true. And now Americans are finding out that it was.

With the recent downfall surrounding the Atkins phenomena born from the struggles both in the financial and health worlds, Americans are asking themselves what went wrong. John A. Rumberger, PhD, MD, FACC is available to answer many of the tough questions. Rumberger is speaking out because of the dangerous side effects and repercussions caused by following such low carb diets. A long time proponent against such reckless dieting, Rumberger wants to seize the opportunity and stay true to this modern segment of the Hippocratic Oath, "I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm." And never before has the American public been so eager to listen.

To learn more about the dangerous side effects of the low carb diet craze, or the serious heart and health repercussions created by following such dangerous diets, Rumberger is more than happy to discuss. As a world renowned preventive cardiologist and former Mayo Clinic researcher and professor, his voice can lend sense and renewed hope to an America that is still looking for a complete lifestyle plan to live longer, reduce stress and lose weight the healthy way.
