What causes Arteriosclerosis and how do you safely reverse atherosclerotic heart disease, and what are the symptoms heart disease?

Yes reader, those two distinct spellings are correct, so let us keep a keen eye on the moving ball, as it were on what causes heart diseases, then the prevention of heart diseases and reversing arteriosclerotic heart diseases.

The sentence that you have just read ends with a word in plural, please do not miss it because this post today will tackle one or two aspects of that spectrum of how do you get heart disease, namely arteriosclerotic heart disease, it’s subset(subdivision or derivative)atherosclerotic heart disease and one of the causes of coronary heart disease.

What is ARTERIOSCLEROSIS?

One of the common causative factors of heart disease is a condition known as arteriosclerosis, and originates from unguarded inflammation of your arterial walls and also leads to the term inflammatory heart disease.

In operative terms, the condition of arteriosclerosis comes about when ldl cholesterol, fatty materials, unuseable calcium and cellular metabolic wastes get wedged in the tears of the walls of your arteries. That is what is known specifically as arteriosclerosis.

How those tears(as in tearing apart)come about has been amply discussed in our previous post on inflammatory heart disease and the safe clinical alternative health therapy to prevent it naturally.

Then what is ATHEROSCLEROSIS?

May I have your extra attention right here?. The subsquent build-up of all that waste is specifically known as atherosclerosis. In other words,arteriosclerosis comes first and atherosclerosis comes about secondly as a result and is also known as thickening of plaque in the inner lining of the walls of your arteries. Did you see the spellings and the difference?.

Inevitably/eventually that causes about the clogging of the arteries which supply your heart muscle and other body organs with oxygenated blood. As your arteries become narrower there is a loss of elasticity(ability to stretch)and it is known as hardening of the arteries. All this has by now in effect caused a severe narrowing of space within the arteries, space that is absolutely needed for the flow and circulation of blood to the heart and other areas.

As the clogging and hardening of the arteries continues, more pressure is needed to push the blood through, hence high blood pressure do you see, and therefore the connection between ldl cholesterol and high blood pressure, which in a round-about way is refered to as hypertension atherosclerosis.

These are all matters of utmost seriousness and can easily lead to a stroke, heart attack and even passing on to another dimension rather prematurely.

And what is Coronary heart disease?

Coronary heart disease is when coronary arteries are obstructed and the symptoms heart disease are in the e-book.

Needless to mention in all cases above, a major lifestyle change is a must forthwith and to include safe and natural clinical alternative health therapies, some of which have been mentioned in previous posts on this site. Reversing arteriosclerotic heart disease is firmly within the realms of probability as supported by legions of serious and authentic clinical researches, and many who have recovered. And you can remove that plaque safely.

Tons and tons of citations are available from serious and authentic clinical researches around the world. Perhaps the authors at this site should begin to make citations available as per post.

It needs repetition that one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease is a high level of homocysteine, and we already have a post on it. And indirectly is also ldl cholesterol, arising out of the north American diet, that by and large is unnatural and far too high in saturated fats and is a menace to your cardiovascular healthStaying Healthy With Nutrition, 21st Century Edition: The Complete Guide to Diet & Nutritional Medicine.

Moderation ought to be a guiding principal for most of the things you ingest and some need to be tossed out

How Omega-3 Fatty Acids Prevent Chronic Diseases Including Inflammatory Heart Disease.

It is by now an established fact that at the core of most chronic diseases ravaging the population, including inflammatory heart disease, is a phenomenon called inflammation.

Now heads up reader, have you really ever seen the wind?? Inflammation is silent in so far as you do not see it, not initially, but you get to see what it does. And in the case of the wind, you never see it at all, you only see what it does.

In the American Journal of Epidemiology, Tufts University reports a study, the Framingham Offspring Study, whose conclusion indicated that natural foods rich in natural vitamin K guard against inflammation and thus reduce your vulnerability and risk to disease.

Such foods include Olive-oil, a staple at the homesteads of all your authors at this site, leafy green vegetables, asparagus, tomatoes, broccoli and avocado just to name a few. Ginger, vitamin C at higher dosages than the RDA, have anti-inflammatory effects on your arteries.

And from the Harvard Medical School, we learn from faculty member Andrew Stoll, that omega-3 fatty acids have numerous biological roles, because they are a primary element of health for virtually every cell and organ system in your body. Along with their partners, the omega-6’s, they keep the body human in balance, modulating such basic physiological functions as inflammation, cell-signaling, blood pressure,immune response and the electrical excitability of heart and brain cells.

Talking of electrical function in the body human is of tremendous interest to some of us at this site, having attended lectures by a very brilliant research-scientist Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of the book , The Body Electric. He lost his tenure at a major university because he revealed information, from his research, to the public that “authorities” did not want the public to know. Yes you can get the book at the Alexandria bookstore and or at the Bodhi Tree bookstore, both in west Los Angeles. There is a tiny bit of heart disease lecture notes therein and a lot more.

Origins of Inflammation.

You may have speculated correctly that nutrition has a lot to do with it. The reason being that the body human does not make any omega-3 fatty acids,they have to be derived from the foods that you eat, ditto for what is known as the essential amino-acids.

It needs to be made abundantly clear that there is an associated omega-6 fatty acids with the omega-3 fatty acids, and the body human needs both provided they are in a balanced ratio as nature intended.

However a major very worrisome and creeping problem has been rising over a number of decades, namely the wide use as food of hydrogenated oils, processed and denatured foods, the partaking of so called grain-fed beef and artificially raised fish. Those have combined to supply your body with an extremely high and unnatural ratio of omega-6’s to omega-3 fatty acids on the order of 19 to 1. The natural ratio is 0.17 to 1, do you see the difference.

You are what you eat and drink in essence.

And the North American food supply no longer has sufficient levels of natural omega-3’s, which is food that prevents inflammatory heart disease and most chronic diseases. It is now severely deficient and instead we are consuming dangerously high levels of omega-6. One wonders if that is a befitting mission statement for heart disease.

In brief, cows have two stomachs and were meant by nature to feed on grass. Feeding them grains dramatically alters their physiology and those changes are passed on to you via beef and milk, no wonder the cattle are sick alomost all the time. Likewise for the artificially raised fish, fed grain pellets and additives. Infact such salmon are injected with a dye to make their flesh resemble that of salmon from the wild, and their omega-3 supply is way down the pits-not a good fish oil+heart disease.

(Please do take very careful note that cultures that eat meat from grass-fed cattle do not have a single case of heart disease Somewhere in the Virginias, mainland USA, is a terrific organic farm called Polyface Farm that can supply the very best quality grass-fed beef.)

One of the omega-6 fatty acids known as arachidonic acid is higly inflammatory. What has happened is that because of the unnatural very high abundance of omega-6’s now in your body, the relevant conversion enzymes-the enzymes that convert the fatty acids, are obviously going to produce a lot of the arachidonic acid that is inflammatory(inflammatory compounds) and very little of the protective anti-inflammatory compounds from the omega-3 fatty acids.

What is inflammation?

Simply put, an injury to the body, a major imbalance or an invasion by pathogens irritates the body tissues causing an inflammation response as the body engages it’s defence mechanisms to the scene. Given the modern typical North American diet, this happens so repeatedly that white blood cells can end up damaging the tissue. If the supply of omega-3’s is low then inflammation has a free rein, opening the body to risks of a variety of dangerous ill-health effects.

The list of health threats is very intimidating indeed, such as heart disease, kidney disease, depression, cancers, arthritis, allergies, periodontal disease, lupus, inflammatory bowel syndrome, atherosclerosis, skin disorders, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, inflammatory heart disease etc etc.

Benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.

Once again from Harvard University, Dr. Alex Leaf points out that foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can stop arrhythimia before it triggers sudden death from heart attacks. This author wishes to add that, that ought to be heard loud and clear in improving clinical practice in heart disease care. And here is an excellent source for your DHA Fish Oil - Best & Pure Omega-3’s guaranteed to reverse and prevent inflammatory heart disease.

A clinical study published in both the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the British Journal of Nutrition, found that in a group of 1,700 men and women, over a four year study, the sub-group that received the highest levels of natural omega-3 fatty acids, achieved the highest bone mineral and bone density, with a bonus of enhanced ability to better absorb calcium.

Therefore, talk about prevention of bone loss and the boosting of bone density and you are talking about omega-3, a natural alternative health therapy.

The Lancet featured a clinical study with a finding that patients who routinely took omega-3 fatty acids, reported far less arthritis pain in six months compared to a control group.

Another report, was findings between mental disorders and a severe deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids. Those disorders include depression, the so called attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) for which some authorities want to turm American children into junkies, schizophrenia and anxiety. The Italian clinical study found that patients who supplemented with natural omega-3 for a mere four weeks, achieved improved attention, a far better mood and very improved aptitudes.

Breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Yet another clinical study demonstrated that omega-3’s are able to prevent further progress of breast or prostate cancer by switching off vital molecules needed for cancer cell growth and initializing specific genes that cause cells to die before they become tumors. Patients who supplemented with omega-3’s saw a happy increase of 40% natural cancer-suppressing abilities compared to a placebo group.

Source of dietary omega-3 fatty acids.

The source of the natural omega-3 referenced in this post is an ancient civilization, where it has been used for centuries without any side effects.

In both the Journal of Immunology and the Journal of Biological Chemistry, it is referenced as the most powerful inflammation fighter, it is easy to digest and is absorbed by the body almost instantly. It has the remarkable ability to turn off excess inflammation as if it were a water faucet by restoring the natural ratio of all fatty acids in your entire body. Inflammatory heart disease can now be handled decisively.

It has another remarkable distinction, that of all plants thus far known to the present level of sciences, it has the most complete plant source of both the essential and non-essential amino acids.

This is a power house for the heart, eyes, bones, brain, joints and even raises hdl cholesterol.

Please reader, allow this author to repeat that “for lack of knowledge in truth, the people perish.”……….and that “let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food”. And welcome to the realm of Sacha Inchi.

Yes, there will be a link here in due course to the supply of this remarkable omega-3 fatty acids.

The wonders of CoQ10 in reversing heart disease and in creating a heart disease prevention program is supported by dozens of authentic clinical research reports.

Numerous clinical research reports from all around the world have conclusively determined that CoQ10 is critical to the health of every living cell, promoting vitality and energy, and that supplementation with CoQ10 is a must as an alternative health therapy to maintain good health, and to serve as a heart disease prevention.

Very interestingly, CoQ10 is also found in very high concentrations in healthy heart tissues and functions to safeguard your heart health. Please do not miss the operative words, high concentrations and healthy tissues.

Those operative words are here and now introducing a factor that is being rather deliberately and deceptively used as the explanation for heart disease, namely the factor of ldl cholesterol or the so called bad cholesterol. So called modern man therefore responds by advocating the use of statin drugs, that demonstrably visit dangerous side-effects on a patient, as a means of reducing cholesterol, because you are told that ldl cholesterol causes heart disease.

Deliberately misleading the people?

The repeatedly demonstrable facts are :

1) Cholesterol does not, repeating, does not cause heart disease, the causative factors is homocysteine levels as already detailed in a previous post on this site.

2) While the synthetic statin drugs do manage to lower the bad cholesterol, by limiting it’s production in the liver, they also simultaneously cause very dangerous side-effects, as for instance, the fatal breakdown of muscles. Is it obvious that you cannot function without muscles? And your heart is indeed a muscle.

Truth uncovered.

It gets far worse, because as demonstrated in a clinical research study at the University of Illinois and reported in the American Journal of Cardiology, synthetic statin drugs do function to deplete very essential CoQ10 from your heart and the body human. Adding insult to your injury,as it were, all synthetic statin drugs do indeed blocl your body’s production of coenzyme Q10.

This is a natural nutrient that is absolutely critical to your cellular energy production, that your heart cannot beat without this coenzyme. There is ample clinical proof,  that if you desperately wanted to keel over from heart failure, you could hardly pick a qiucker way than to deplete your CoQ10 levels. How to keep your heart strong and healthy with the very best Co-enzyme Q10 and even Reverse heart disease

Decades of research have shown that the role of CoQ10 is to maintain cardiovascular heart health and therefore serve as a heart disease prevention, safely and naturally. That is precisely why, in cases that are indeed far and few in between, insightful medical professionals, also prescribe CoQ10, an alternative health therapy, when prescribing a synthetic statin drug.

At the University of Illinois Medical Center, human subjects with normal cholesterol levels and with absolutely no history of previous heart problems, took a statin drug-cholesterol lipitor for up to three months. Are you ready for the results?

Oh brother!!, a shocking 71% of those subjects showed a deterioration of heart function.

Say what?. Hold it right there mister. Time to sit down.

What about the incessant advertisements that statin drugs are supposed to improve cardiovascular health?

Hello reader, you can draw your own conclusion.

The original statin drugs were derived from Red Yeast Rice, a natural plant and crop, but because red yeast rice could not be patented, Ah! Ah! follow the moooney(money), pharmaceuticals moved to an artificial synthetic modality that is patentable, therefore expensive and no surprise- carries dangerous side effects and at times even fatal. Baycol was recalled after at least fourty deaths on the record. And once again on record, Lipitor causes very dangerous memory lapses among other scary sde-effects.

You may have surmised correctly that red yeast rice is available in some health food stores and elsewhere, and still under pressure from the pharmaceuticals that it be withheld from public use.

 By the way, one of the co-authors to this site is standing at my shoulder, reminding me of one of very many similar incidents, whereby the corporate elite unsuccesfully attempted to patent a natural tree that is naturally native and grows all over the tropical world. The tree is Neem.

The reason being that any extract from the Neem tree can easily substitute for any man made agro-chemical, without any side-effects, and neither crop pests or crop disease can develop resistance to it. Awesome mother nature, she has the answers.

The wonders of CoQ10 as a heart disease prevention.

Meanwhile, back at the University of Illinois, after tests reported the very dangerous effects of statin drugs, the human subjects were then given a daily supplement of CoQ10 for three months.

At end of that time period, all of the subjects showed tremendous improved heart function, in all the heart function markers and heart disease symptoms used in the tests. Bravo! Bravo!

The conclusions were dowright self-suggesting, that CoQ10 prevented heart failure and can serve as a heart disease prevention,now take a look at this

You reader just as this author, may also have observed the overblown topic of women and heart disease or heart disease in women. That topic ought to cool it’s heels in the face of the mighty CoQ10 supplementation that is safe and natural.

There is more to come on that topic right here at this site with more alternative health resources. In the meantime, take a good look at this video:

For lack of knowledge in truth, the people perish.

Dietary-fiber from grapefruit has amply demonstrated it’s abilities  at reducing  cholesterol and can be an effective part of a diet to lower cholesterol.

It is already an indisputable clinical and nutritional fact that dietary- fiber, and in some nutritional circles it is called roughage, is a critical part of good nutrition. 

Therefore, to skimp on it or to miss it is a short-cut to severe health imbalances or even kicking the bucket prematurely, because lack of dietary-fiber in your nutrition amounts to a deficiency that  gradually,  renders the body human incapable of functiong as nature intended. In particular, the body human begins to fail to cleanse itself with consequences that could be comparable to a plugged-up sewer system or a plugged-up vehicle carburator.

The dietary-fiber in grapefruit is one of nature’s water-soluble fibers, that is effectively broken down, in the large intestines, into short fatty acids that are efficient at preventing plaque formation in the arteries and therefore reducing ldl cholesterol formation.

Forget Dieting Or Lifestyle Changes.

A gastroenterologist by the name of Dr. J. Cerda, was able to demonstrate in a clinical research at the University of Florida Hospital in Gainesville, that a group of human patients could  via use of natural grapefruit pectin, achieve an 11% reduced cholesterol in just four weeks, without any changes in their diets or lifestyles.

Very exciting clinical facts, aren’t they? Natural, safe and effective and you know what, very inexpensive. 

Here is even better news. Another group of human patients who infact made dietary and lifestyle changes, for instance routinely exercised for short intervals, were each easily able to attain a reducing of cholesterol, ldl cholesterol, on average of 28% in the same time frame of a mere four weeks.  Did you say amen to that?  Well then, bingo!

You can eat two to three big grapefruits, the entire fruit, each day or you can opt for a “convenient” natural extract as a dietary supplement of 15 grams of grapefruit pectin, a source of which will appear on this site in due course.

The alternative health therapies of meditation and yoga, provide relief from fatigue.

A clinical study of 71 multiple-sclerosis patients, used cognitive benchmarks or measures to assess anxiety levels, mood stability and fatigue levels, in addition to health related quality of life.

The clinical researchers found that the patients who participated in meditation regularly or practiced yoga, reported relief from fatigue and an improvement in well-being and energy levels, compared to the patients who did neither.

Easily Meditate Deeper Than A Zen Monk

Reader, the Zen meditation link is currently unavailable due to site remodeling. In the meanwhile take a look at some of the reasons for meditation.

Check this out: great reasons to learn meditation

Did you know that meditation and authentic yoga have been practiced in the regions of the far-east for centuries, with positive results of well-being to the body human?. Those alternative health resources ought to be a regular activity in our lives.

Dietary-Fiber In Your Diet Protects Against Modern Chronic Diseases And Cleanses Your Colon As The Foundation For Achieving And Maintaining Optimal Health.

In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the American Journal of Digestive Diseases and the British Medical Journal among many others, distinction is made between different food-fibers and that they accomplish different health benefits.

The Colon Cleansers.

As for instance, fiber from wheat speeds up the transit-time that it takes food to move through the digestive tract. As such, that kind of food-fiber can function as the ultimate natural laxavative, safe and no dangerous side-effects. Many food-fibers likewise act to promote regular easy bowel movements and to sweep waste out of the colon very easily; they are the safe natural colon cleansers.

Psyllium whole husks powder and unprocessed oat bran come to mind as natural sources of dietary-fiber par excellence, and you need sufficient liquid in-take whenever you use them.

It is pointed out that the higher the percentage of soluble dietary fiber in any given fiber sample, the better the ability of that fiber to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Already then, if you were to compare wheat bran against oat bran, oat bran has far more soluble dietary-fiber and therefore way way way ahead of wheat bran in ability to lower cholesterol levels. But it has to be unprocessed, and you can get it at a health food store in your neck of the woods. Psyllium husks powder is far better as a colon cleanser if used with care.

Chronic Diseases of Modern Civilization.

The confirmatory evidence that a low dietary-fiber diet is the core and cause of the serious diseases of modern civilization, reared it’s head as it became possible to demonstrate that, as the dietary fiber was removed from the diet of the affluent countries, such as north America and western Europe, the inhabitants there began to succumb to the diseases mentioned in the previous post.

The disease of the colon, diverticulosis becomes common starting in the 1930’s, ditto rectal cancer.

Obesity, only affected the wealthy classes in the eighteenith century, because they were taking lots of refined flour and refined sugar in their diet, those were expensive items then.

Appendicitis, becomes common in the 1930’s.

Coronary heart disease and therefore heart attacks, increased by a whopper of 800% starting in the 1930’s.

The “irritable bowel movement” is a late addition.

Please reader, be aware that operative in the background in the 1920’s and 1930’s is the advent of industry, food processing and movement of people to towns/cities from rural areas and thus the kind of foods generally available in high population centers are mostly not the best nutrition.

As if in unison, international medical experts have the evidence that as the amount of dietary-fiber(roughage) in our diet decreases, the incidences of cancer of the rectum and cancer of the colon, obesity, coronary heart disease and heart attacks, diverticulosis, ldl cholesterol, and a number of disability-dealing diseases, all increase in almost direct proportion.

Announcement—Breaking News.

Dr. Suzanne Gudakust courageously speaks out, “Our foods are deliberately poisoned by dangerous chemicals that result in plaque, and food companies actually put parasites deliberately designed to make you fat and to make you sick”. Here is her report and you ought to grab a copy fast, because she is stepping on some”big-foot” who have already threatened her for speaking the truth Top Secret Report by Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst

End of Announcement.

This does not occur overnight, it takes time for the body to lose it’s natural defences, because of bad nutrition, deficient nutrition that causes the body to deteriorate in function. Did you know that there are at least 97 million Americans that are constipated at any given time?

Your digestive system as a human, does not process junk foods and the artificial beverages well, hence the resulting constipation. And you should be aware by now that a clean toxin-free intestinal tract or colon is your only lifeline to optimal health.

Take a look at this brief chain of evidence.

a) the chronic diseases mentioned in this post and the previous post and a number of others, are virtually unknown among inhabitants and cultures consuming a high-fiber(dietary-fiber) diet.

b) those disability-dealing diseases are catastrophically common, like currency, in inhabitants and societies where the diet is low in dietary-fiber.

Now take a closer look at the following, the litmus test:

c) whenever high-roughage diet individuals or even groups, do switch to the low roughage diet, they gradually and relentlessly fall victim to the diseases of moder civilization, already mentioned above.

Reader, are you aware that the high dietary-fiber diet is infact more appetizing, less expensive, more satisfying and with a bonus, more conducive to weight reduction than the low roughage diet and infact cleanses your colon too.? You can start to take care of yourself and begin to feel better in a matter of hours, with your regular dietary-fiber intake, and here it is just waiting for you–Your Dietary-Fiber

You can reverse the damage to your health and even prevent chronic diseases from becoming your experience and add years to your life by a regular colon cleanse and maintaining a nutritional diet with dietary-fiber.

Dietary-Fiber Protects Against Modern Chronic Diseases And Reduce Risks of Cancer.

Did you know that a premier journal, The Lancet, published a long-term study by Dr. Dennis Burkitt and other medical researchers, whose findings were in essence a shocking indictment, that the modern diet as found in affluent countries is completely deficient of the natural substance responsible for a long and disease-free life?

Oh! Lordy, what are we missing? Dr. Burkitt and associates compared the staple foods of regions of tropical Africa and that of affluent Americans and western Europe. The observation was inescapable that when the diet contains roughage, stools are softer and larger while bowel movements are regular and frequent.

It was immediately and obviously self-suggesting that dietary fiber has a major role in the protection of the body human against certain large intestine diseases.

The Curse of Dietary-Fiber Deficiency.

Isn’t that very interesting? In other words, in North America and wester Europe, we are eating a high-priced, high-prestige diet that leads directly to obesity, cancer of the colon, hypertension and heart attacks. Furthermore, chronic ailments such as appendicitis, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, constipation, cancer of the colon, varicose veins are in effect demonstrably a result of a deficiency, nutritionally deficient diet.

Cholesterol Control and Cholesterol Ratio.

In addition, the research teams also observed that whenever dietary fiber was removed from the diet, serum-cholesterol levels rose up, and that eating a fiber-rich diet or when cellulose was added to the diet, serum-cholesterol levels became reduced. That certainly looks like a good low cholesterol diet plan whereby nature automatically controls your cholesterol and the cholesterol ratio

The Sickening North American Diet.

Of course, you reader may already have asked self, where is the deficiency in a diet as varied and rich as the north American diet? Well then, have you at all noticed that by and large that diet is purified(read processed)carbohydrates of sugars and starches and the wrong fats and wrong oils(and deodorized, stabilized etc etc)? Please take note that to you—- instant(processed) mashed potatoes and polished(fiber removed)white rice are worlds apart, but to your digestive system both are identical. A sweet-roll(processed flour) and cereal(loaded with disguised sugars) are different to you, but in nutritional terms they are identical as far as the digestive system sees them, so to speak.

Do you see, there is no dietary fiber whatsoever, all removed.

Even in the fresh foods realm, matters are getting worse with new strains of low-fiber fruits and vegetables adapted to the so called”modern-taste”, so we are all told. As an example, the stringless string beans.

Once again, there is no dietary fiber whatsoever, all removed.

And yes, you do wonder how come a singular deficiency, dietary fiber, can give rise to a multitude of very serious diseases that are now almost epidemic and modern treatments left badly wanting.

Simply put, everyone of those diseases is demonstrably related to the digestion and metabolism of food and the operation of the digestive system.

We will take a peep at the research evidence at the next post including the protective role of vitamin D against breast cancer and something else.
