Heart Disease - Our Modern Plague Resolved

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.

Coronary Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis

Although testing cam be valuable in detecting existing blockages in your coronary arteries before sudden death, angina pectoris, or a heart attack occurs, ideally you should try to prevent blockages from forming in the first place. This why it is important  for you to understand how Atherosclerosis develops, and what factors accelerate it. Even if you already have coronary heart disease and have had coronary artery bypass surgery, you will want to decrease the chance that the blockages will return.

Coronary heart disease results from the gradual development of Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. The term Atherosclerosis comes from the greek atheroma, meaning porridge, and skleros, meaning hard. At birth our coronary arteries are completely open, no blockages are present, and blood flow is unimpaired. Between the ages of 10 and 20, small deposits of lipid, called “fatty streaks,” begin to appear in the lining of the coronary arteries. Over time, some fatty streaks change gradually into larger deposits, called “fibrous Plaques.” As the fibrous plaque forms, it protrudes into the opening of the coronary artery.

These aerly stages of Atherosclerosis progress slowly through the teen age years and through the twenties and thirties, but by age 45 or 50 many people in our society have more advanced Atherosclerosis that may lead to coronary heart disease. If you have risk factors or have inherited a genetic problem in processing fat in your body, you are much more likely to have Atherosclerosis. The same factors may accelerate the early deposits of fatty streaks in the coronary arteries of your children.

Atherosclerosis has afflicted many populations throughout the history of mankind. For example, it has been found in egyptian mummies, but not all mammals are not susceptible to this disease. rats and dogs are quite resistant, at least partly because most of their blood cholesterol is in high density lipoproteins (HDL), the “good” cholesterol. In contrast, humans carry most of their blood cholesterol in low density lipoproteins (LDL), which promote Atherosclerosis. When animals consume diets rich in cholesterol or saturated fat, those that are susceptible, such as some nonhuman primates and rabbits, develop Atherosclerosis; those that are resistant, such as dogs and rats, do not.

The relationship between cholesterol in the diet and Atherosclerosis was first observed in rabbits in 1908 by a russian pathologist name Ignatowsky. Later studies of nonhuman primates demonstrated the direct relationship between cholesterol and saturated fat in the diet, cholesterol level in the blood, and the development of Atherosclerosis.

Can The Process of Atherosclerosis Be Reversed?

The answer is yes. Studies have shown that when the level of cholesterol in the blood of nonhuman primates is lowered by diet or drugs, the deposits of Atherosclerosis in their coronary arteries become smaller. A study has also shown this to be true in humans.

In the 1960s, medical researchers established that not all countries had the same amount of Atherosclerosis in their populations. The international Coronary Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis project studied people in 14 different countries. Arteries from 22,509 people who died between the ages of 10 and 69 years were examined under the microscope. In his book Geographic Pathology Of Coronary Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis DR. Henry McGill ranked  twelve of the fourteen populations according to fat intake, blood cholesterol level, and Coronary Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis. He found a direct and highly significant relationship between these factors; locations with greatest amount of Coronary Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis, such as the United States and Norway, had significantly higher average blood cholesterol levels and a significantly greater fat consumption.
