In the last hundred years, our society has had to endure an ever-increasing plague affecting the lives of millions. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in the form of ‘Occlusive Cardiovascular Disease’, which is also known as ‘Atherosclerosis’ or ‘plaquing’ of the arteries is affecting younger and younger people with each passing generation. The disorder leads to the majority of our heart attacks, strokes and the spiraling costs of healthcare. It remains today as the leading cause of death by disease in the developed world.

Medical treatment of choice continues to be cholesterol-lowering drugs (statin drugs). Add to this the prescriptions for chest pains, high blood pressure, blood thinners, calcium beta-blockers, triglyceride etc. and you have a toxic cocktail mix taken by millions of people with only a poor prognosis to show for their efforts.

What can we do?

A world-renowned biochemist Linus Pauling PhD (1901-1994), two-time unshared Nobel Prize Laureate, and recipient of more than 40 honorary degrees is regarded by many of his peers as one of the world’s greatest scientific minds of the 20th century. In his last interview with the British journal of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition he spoke these prophetic words:

“I think I know what the answer is… we can get almost COMPLETE CONTROL of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes by the proper use of this therapy …even cure it.” — Linus Pauling (1992)

The “therapy” he spoke about was formulated after decades of scientific and clinical research and introduced following issues of his patents (1990 and 1991) for the reversal of ‘Occlusive Cardiovascular Disease’. Add this to his 1989 ‘Unified Theory” of heart disease and we have an effective way of eliminating the majority of suffering caused by this major scourge of our times.

Medicine’s silence is deafening!

Mainstream medicine and big Pharma continue to remain silent as to Pauling’s discovery and one might be inclined to believe that their focus on profits might be the motives for their suppression of his research. Heart disease is big business.

How does Pauling’s formula work? It’s rather quite simple. It starts with the scientific facts that CVD is predominantly a Vitamin C deficiency disease. Also lacking is, a couple of key amino acids L-lysine and L-proline. Add to that a few supportive A, B, & E vitamins, minerals like magnesium and selenium, a little CoQ10 and plenty of Omega 3 oils, and there you have it. A formula which when taken therapeutically, can stop, reverse and help the body heal the majority of CVD cases.

Following up on 1985 Nobel Laureates Brown and Goldstein’s scientific work of the early 1980’s, Pauling re-confirmed that all plaque in the arteries is laid down as temporarily repair material for damaged or injured blood vessels. This sticky cholesterol plaque, which the body uses to seal up the cracks and fissures, is a “special” kind of cholesterol made in our livers and not the cholesterol we ingest from fatty foods. LP(a) cholesterol plaque is manufactured as a necessary emergency ‘secondary response tissue’ to deal with the damaged blood vessels. This happens only when the body is malnourished.

The ‘primary’ healing tissue for blood vessels is “collagen”. Collagen needs high levels of Vitamin C and amino acids such as lysine, proline, to be properly and adequately synthesized. Also, L-lysine and L-proline act as LP(a) binding inhibitors.

So there is hope for the majority of those who suffer with this chronic degenerative disease. The results of using the Pauling protocol are predictable and measurable.

Start by getting a full blood profile for heart risk factors. Once you have your ‘numbers’, start taking a well formulated ‘Pauling formula’ product (Cardioflex Q10) up to three times a day with juice or water. (Water only if you are diabetic) You will start to notice a difference in your wellbeing within only a few days to a few weeks.

Note: Check regularly with your doctor as to the continued need for your prescription drugs. Within 6 to 18 months, the majority of patients should be off most of their heart drugs and will have reduced by up to 80-90% all of their CVD risk factors identified in the blood tests.

Adopting a healthier diet and a regular exercise routine accelerates the process and puts you on a fast tract to a lifetime free of heart disease.

You no longer have to be a casualty of the CVD plague.

The human heart is an amazing organ. A muscle only about the size of your fist, it sits just to the left of the center of your chest contracting and relaxing to pump blood, roughly 5 liters a minute throughout your body. It is an involuntarty muscle. Unlike the muscle in your arm that you flex voluntarily when you lift something, your heart needs no instruction. It operates independently and continuously, day and night, week in, week out, year after year. When it stops, life stops.

What Is Heart Disease

The heart tough, but it’s not invulnerable and it can be afflicted by a variety of diseases. But what is commonly called heart disease is, interestingly enough, not a disease of the heart at all. At least not directly. It’s a disease of the large arteries outside the heart that supply the smaller vessels that feed the heart muscle with blood rich nutrients and oxygen that the heart needs to keep working. Other vessels carry away the waste products produced by the heart in the course of its work. Coronary arteries, the large arteries carrying blood to the heart muscle, are like the huge pipes that carry water from a reservoir to a big city, to be distributed to streets, individual houses, and then specific faucets before being carried away again through drains. If something happens to those big pipes that blocks the flow of vital water to the city, the city shuts down in no time at all. Your heart needs an open system of pipes to maintain an unabated flow of blood all the time.

When the heart works harder, such as during exertion or stress, it needs even more blood flow. It gets this greater flow because, unlike water pipes, the blood vessels can dilate, or open larger, when the need arises. When something impedes that flow, it causes immediate problems for the heart muscle, which becomes starved of oxygen and nutrients.

With heart disease, the “something” that restricts the flow is an accumulation of fatty deposits including cholesterol that form thick plaques on the interior walls of the coronary arteries, a process that can slow the flow of blood to the heart. This condition called atherosclerosis, occurs gradually and may go unnoticed for years.

Arrhythmias of the Heart included live broadcasts of a diagnostic study of electrical firings of the heart and an internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implant that shocks the heart into a normal rhythm if necessary.

Electrophysiologists, electricians of the heart, Dan Dan, M.D., Joseph Poku, M.D., and Bobby Smith, M.D., performed and narrated the procedures. Viewers emailed questions to the physicians during the procedure.

When we think of a victim of heart disease, we tend to think of men, but unfortunately, heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women in the United States.  Heart disease includes the narrowing of the arteries that bring oxygen to the heart, heart failure, diseases of the heart muscles, inborn defects, and other conditions.  Five hundred thousand American women die each year from heart diseases, and the risks increase as a woman ages.

The Change of Life

The Cleveland Clinic Heart Center explains that menopause changes the risks for women and heart disease.  Post-menopause, a woman’s body experiences reduced estrogen production, changes in cholesterol levels, changes in the structure of blood vessels, and increased production of the clotting agent fibrinogen. 

No one yet knows exactly how much a woman’s risk is affected by each of these changes, but they are definitely associated with greater heart disease risk.  Women who have gone through menopause are two to three times more likely to suffer heart disease than a pre-menopausal woman of the same age.  Women that have had a hysterectomy experience these same raised risk factors. 

In the past, scientists studying women and heart disease hypothesized that hormone replacement therapy could help post-menopausal women fight heart disease; however, long-term studies do not confirm that preliminary idea and doctors no longer recommend hormone replacement therapy to battle heart disease.  Menopause we cannot change, but other risk factors are under our control.

Using hormonal birth control (the pill or the patch) is considered safe for women under thirty-five. As of now, doctors do not have proof that birth control hormones can increase or decrease problems for women and heart disease, especially after the age of thirty-five.  When talking about your heart disease risk factors with your doctor, get his or her opinion on your personal situation.   

A Change of Lifestyle

Scientists studying women and heart disease find that women are knowledgeable about what lifestyles are associated with heart disease, but are also prone to having those lifestyles.  For example, according to the National Institutes of Health, fifty-six million American women have high cholesterol, 33% of women have high blood pressure, and 62% of women are overweight.  Despite these risks, women are less physically active than men, on average. 

For women, as for men, there are a few good guidelines to a healthier heart.  Habits such as not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight by regular activity or exercise, cutting down on the fatty foods, and getting your cholesterol tested can dramatically help prevent heart disease.  Don’t become another statistic about women and heart disease.

Rheumatic heart disease, also called rheumatic fever, occurs when an untreated strep throat infection migrates to the joints and heart, causing fever, muscle aches, and possible permanent heart valve damage.  Just as “rheumatism” refers to joint pain, “rheumatic” fever gets its name because one of its main symptoms is actually pain in the joints rather than the heart. 

The National Institute of Health estimate that rheumatic heart disease develops in about 3% of untreated strep throat infections in the United States. Because mainly young people get strep, accordingly rheumatic heart disease mostly strikes people aged between six and fifteen years old.

Most people in the west who get strep will never develop rheumatic heart disease, because the strep throat infection is treated effectively with antibiotics.  However, if fever, irregular heart beat, nodes under the skin, and other symptoms appear after a strep infection, a doctor will perform lab tests to diagnose rheumatic fever. 

Penicillin treats rheumatic heart disease symptoms, including the contraction of the heart, which may damage heart valves; however, there is no cure for the disease, and patients must continue with penicillin injections.  Some doctors argue this treatment should continue for the rest of the patient’s life.  Left untreated, besides the symptoms of physical pain, rheumatic heart disease can cause permanent heart valve damage.  Without surgery, heart valve damage can lead to fatal heart failure. 

Cases And Treatment Worldwide

Doctors working with the Australian National Heart Foundation are working on a vaccine to prevent rheumatic fever.  After an unexplained jump in the number of cases among the Aboriginal population of Australia from 2004 to 2006, doctors launched the world’s most advanced investigation of rheumatic heart disease.

In New Zealand as well, rheumatic fever is a problem among some populations, and the treatment there is penicillin shots every month for ten years.  One famous rugby player, a childhood victim of rheumatic heart disease, admits to “getting lazy” about having his shots, and the symptoms of the disease returned to him as an adult.  Luckily, he knew his problem and how to get help.  Some people, especially those with little access to health care, simply suffer through fever attacks, and fall victim to heart valve failure. 

In fact, the World Heart Federation in Geneva, Switzerland calls rheumatic fever a disease born of poverty.  Though it is easily prevented by a good strep throat treatment, many young people of the world do not have access to the healthcare that would keep their heart valves healthy and extend their lives.

Reversing heart disease can be done by adopting a few lifestyle changes.  By avoiding certain risk factors that put you in harm’s way of the disease to begin with, you can turn back the clock, so to speak, and continue to live a long, healthy life despite having a heart disease.

There are many different kinds of heart disease, but one of the factors that leads to most heart disease is a blockage to the arteries that feed blood to the heart.  When the heart no longer gets a fresh supply of blood, it can die, and the result is a heart attack.  By unclogging these arteries, you are essentially reversing heart disease and, therefore, healing your heart.

How You Can Reverse Heart Disease

Diets high in saturated fats and cholesterol can contribute to the blockage that causes most diseases of the heart.  Reversing heart disease can be as simple as cleaning up your diet, by eating more fruits and vegetables, foods with a higher fiber content, and staying away from foods with too much saturated fat.  By changing to a cleaner diet, you are one step closer to reversing a heart disease that has already claimed so many lives.

Another technique that works in reversing heart disease is getting more exercise.  When you exercise, you increase your cardiovascular health, and your heart begins to work better.  Exercise can be had anywhere, anytime, simply walk instead of drive your car, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or just walk around the block every night after dinner.

A more drastic move for reversing heart disease is surgery.  Surgeons have been able to unblock arteries or bypass clogged arteries to improve blood flow to the heart.  In many cases, surgery helps those who are afflicted with this horrible disease; however, for surgery to be effective, the heart disease must be caught early, just like most other diseases.  Surgery can be an effective means for reversing heart disease, but the most effective way is to adopt good living habits once you find out you have it.

By adopting good living habits, eating right, getting more exercise, and reducing stress levels, you can go on to live a long, healthy, productive life even if you already have heart disease.  Reversing heart disease does not need to inhibit your life or hold you back in any way; instead, by adopting good living habits, you can improve your life by turning back time to look and feel better.
