LDL or bad cholesterol is certainly not the cause of heart disease or stroke as many have been led to accept, rather the immediate cause is your homocysteine levels, and this site has touched upon that very subject before.

You might be surprised to know that your brain needs cholesterol to function as does the synthesis of your bile and even the production of your sex hormones.

You ought to be aware that infact cholesterol does not clog your arteries unless there is something for it to attach to in your arteries in the very first place. Existence of such a rough surface results from inflammation due to excessive homocysteine levels.

Briefly, excessive homocysteine levels cause irritation (sub-clinical inflammation) in the artery cell walls and it is on the rough surfaces thus caused, and are now protruding in the artery cavity, to which ldl cholesterol attaches as it courses through the arteries as part of your blood stream. That causes restriction of the space needed by your bloodstream as it circulates, hence the heart now has to pump harder in an attempt to get the bloodstream volume moving, and right there is your high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis are also right here, as is heart attack or stroke, all from the same origin, but for the sake of profits they are handled as if they are all different.

This site has detailed all that before, take a look at the relevant previous posts.

One simple, natural, safe and clinically proven approach can tackle those specific concerns. And it is available almost for a song, at a healthy food store in your neck of the woods, or if you prefer there will be a link at the end of this post.

It must be emphasized that you must take good control of your health by making sure that good and proper nutrition is at the highest of your considerations. Natural unprocessed foods are excellent at lowering cholesterol naturally. If you eat beef, be absolutely sure that IT IS GRASS-FED and not not not grain-fed beef. It is from grain-fed beef that your homocysteine levels spike up tremendously.

Lower bad Cholesterol

Reader, you do know that your normal body temperature is 37 degrees Centigrade (98.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and cholesterol melts at 149 degrees Centigrade. Now then, suppose that some cholesterol has accumulated in your arteries causing a partial dam-like effect, so that you are still able to move about. It would certainly help to lower that cholesterol if you could liquify it or melt it. By the way, you never ever want your total cholesterol levels too low, you could kick the bucket as a result of too low cholesterol. But done naturally, nature has automatic safeguards.

Already then,as reported in the Journal of American Oil Chemist’s Society, it was F.A. Vanderheuvel, a Canadian clinical researcher who found that cholesterol becomes very soluble in your bloodstream provided there is enough Lecithin there.

That clinical research was replicated at the Boston University by D.L. Small, who reconfirmed the findings of the Canadian researcher, that both fat-protein molecules HDL and LDL, that transport cholesterol, do contain lecithin. The fat protein portion of HDL has twice as much lecithin as that of ldl.

Take a look at this nature’s miracle, those fats in HDL are 53% lecithin and 27% cholesterol while fats in the LDL are only 29% lecithin and a high 45% cholesterol. Obviously the HDL portion of your cholesterol has a much higher content of beneficial lecithin.
Now reader, do you see the origins of the nicknames “good cholesterol” for hdl and “bad cholesterol” for ldl? Interesting, isn’t it?

Yes reader, you have guessed correctly that you do not hear about nature’s miracles such as this, because it cannot be patented.

Protect your heart.

Now you can easily, affordably, naturally, safely and effectively protect your heart by automatically naturally balancing your cholesterol levels. A reminder is that good and proper nutrition has to be your foundation to good health and keeping it there.

How to lower cholesterol

As a cholesterol lowering diet, one to two tablespoonfuls of lecithin daily, and that could be mixed in your natural smoothies, fresh juices, yogurt, cold soups or even sprinkled on fruit or even a salad, and that gives you a number of ways to lower bad cholesterol.

Food to lower cholesterol

Here is your Lecithin

A peep at the very scary side effects of cholesterol lowering statin medications, particulary that widely prescribed class of drugs known as  statin drugs on the health body human.

 Statin drugs as  band-aids.

The  so called cholesterol statin drugs lower cholesterol by limiting it’s production in the liver. That is not the smart thing to do, regardless of what criteria you consult, because it does not at all address the root cause or causative factors of high ldl cholesterol.

That action is the equivalent of  a warning light on your vehicle dashboard, prompting you to approach a mechanic. The mechanic proceeds to cut the wire or short-circuit it, causing the warning light to be off. The machanic then explains problem solved, because the light is no longer on.

Who Benefits?.

Once again reader, you can see the why of the repeated melody at this site, “For lack of knowledge in truth, the people perish.” It might well be that keeping someone ignorant of the relevant facts is a very lucrative undertaking indeed.

A reasonable mind even at a glance could not agree more. Centuries ago, the most respected Roman statesman, Cicero, would have reasoned by floating a timeless and very sharp question– Cui Bono? Who benefits?.

(Where are the Ciceros of today? Have nutritional deficiencies robbed the nations of true statesmen and stateswomen?.)

An ex-Astronaut and NASA physician spills the beans.

You reader and the authors at this site have been blessed with a very profound and only answer possible, from no less than a giant of a respectable man, that beautifully and firmly wears the admirable hats as an ex-astronaut, a NASA medical doctor-oooh brother, oooh brother!  Now we are talking and talking big with substance.

Should we shout this from the roof tops and from the mountain tops? You bet you!.

Ex-astronaut, Duane Graveline,MD, MPH., is a also a medical research scientist and  an author who has spilled the stinking beans, so to speak, about the cholesterol statin drugs that include the brand names lipitor, mevacor, prevastatin, lescol, pravachol, zocor and baycol which is on record as responsible for many deaths.

Side-effects are deadly

Clinical trials have dutifully documented the very dangerous side-effects of cholesterol lowering statin drugs, just one of which is memory lapses.

It gets worse, as numerous cases have been clinically documented in which  memory is completely lost and gone, for time-intervals of several minutes to several hours. That is known as total global amnesia(TGA). Please reader, go back and read those two most previous sentences again.

You are now going to be introduced to one man’s battle with TGA in detail. That man is of course Dr. Duane Graveline, a medical physician and ex-astronaut who fell victim to the dangerous side-effects of statin drugs.

Following a mere few weeks of using prescribed statin drugs, Dr. Graveline could not at times recognize his children or his wife.

Imagine that for a moment. Very very dangerous.

Being a medical research scientist, he very quickly surmised that statin drugs were the culprit and cause and promptly threw them out. He then relates that his “good” doctor, later encouraged him to resume the statin regimen.  Hours shortly after restarting, —–  Dr. Graveline suffered a very bad TGA(total global amnesia) and understand this, his entire memory simply vanished for almost twelve hours.

Do you see why it becomes imperative to always seek an informed professional second opinion including accessing clinically proven alternative healthy therapies for the body human. Accordingly you have a direct responsibility to continually educate self about good healthy nutrition. For an easy start you may take a look at, 
The World’s Healthiest Foods, Essential Guide for the Healthiest Way of Eating

It has been touched upon in a previous post, that among the many dangerous side effects of statin drugs is that they deplete  your body tissues of the very critical nutrient CoQ10, thus setting you up for a deadly cardiovascular event. In addition cholesterol statin drugs cause muscle deterioration and even fatal muscle breakdown. Remember your heart is also a muscle.

The Quickest Safe Natural Fix For Your Cholesterol.

With no side effects, reduces the bad LDL, raises the good HDL and it promotes your well being, you be the judge, PoliCholest-Cuts your bad cholesterol by 15%! It is yours now.

Dr. Graveline’s experience of memory loss appeared in a syndicated newspaper column, to which hundreds responded by sharing the scary memory loss experiences as a result of use of  prescribed statin cholesterol drugs. That prompted Dr. Graveline to start an investigation and documenting TGA cases, and here is his book and advice: Lipitor, Thief of Memory
Lipitor Thief of Memory

and a lot more.

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.

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.

From the University of Wisconsin to the Titus County Memorial Hospital in Texas and from other research centers, word is afloat that cholesterol is not the causative factor of heart-disease, as it won’t clog your arteries except if there is something therein, such as a rough surface or a ridge for it to attach to.

Instead, the culprit is infact a build up or an overabundance in your blood of something known as homocysteine This happens to be an amino acid whose primary function, as we shall see shortly, is to promote the growing of smooth muscle-cells just below the inner wall of an artery. Please reader, note very carefully that that is its function PROVIDED the body has good and proper nutritional intake and at adequate levels.

If your nutritional quality is below par, less than adequate, and the operative word here is quality,the promotional function above shifts to a rapid abnormal pace, and thus the”extra’ cells create a deadly bulge that protrudes into the artery itself.

It is at such bulges that calcium, cholesterol and other blood products tend to accumulate, thus causing blood traps leading to symptoms such as poor memory, strokes. impotence, heart attacks or even worse one could kick the bucket.

From the city at the foothills of mighty Mt. Rainier, researchers in Seattle demonstrated that injections of homocysteine into baboons, rapidly caused significant early signs of arteriosclerosis. The cells just beneath the animals arterial walls were mutating and reproducing at a frantic pace and such growth was destroying the arterial walls of the test baboons.

Within a matter of a mere seven days of high levels of high homocysteine in the animal’s blood, nearly twenty-five percent of the artery wall was lost. In other words, higher levels of homocysteine lead to severe deterioration of the artery wall, and in effect a worsening condition of arteriosclerosis as a result.

Now onto the trail of homocysteine, which is formed when you eat food containing an amino acid known as methionine. That happens to be in all protein sources both of animal and plant origins. Keep it uppermost mindwise, that nature always strives for balance.

Already then, as part of the digestive process, methionine is broken down into, guess what?, homocysteine. Reader, pay close attention right here, that as long as certain nutrient co-factors are present, homocysteine subsequently converts back into one of two harmless amino acids. But when those helper nutrients are absent, and that speaks directly to the quality of the foods/liquids that you allow into your precious body, homocysteine levels get out of control leading to a very dangerous surge, do you see?.

Okay, so how exactly does one go about ensuring, naturally of course, that homocysteine levels are kept in balance?.

The action-steps are easy, simple and very inexpensive as you will see in the next post. You will be very surprised.

In the meanwhile, the folks at http://www.evenbetternow.com have indicated, in their blog-post dated July 31st/2007, that of late, 54% of people who have died of cardiovascular disease, have had normal to low cholesterol levels. That indeed something else is the cause of cardiovascular disease as you have already read it here, homocysteine levels.

The use of this amazing herb predates the modern calendar, and has been in effective use by the Ayurvedic natural healers for almost thirty centuries.

It is strongly advisable that if you are under any prescription regimen for cardiovascular conditions, you must at first consult your health professional before supplementing with Arjuna, as it is so potent an herb and indeed effective and can therefore cause a severe effect if combined with any prescription drug. Needless to mention that Arjuna is already a clinically proven corrector of cardiovascular ill-health.

The humble origins of the Arjuna herb is the sub-continent of India, where the pulverized bark of the Terminalia arjuna tree has been in use as a tonic for cardiovascular conditions under the Ayurvedic tradition of natural healing, and without side-effects. Modern research on this ancient herb by the Indian SMS Medical College concurs(i.e. is in agreement).

The regular intake of vitamin E, an antioxidant, has been repeatedly demonstrated to be an effective supplement for controlling ldl cholesterol levels. However, the antioxidant capacity of Arjuna outperformed vitamin E in a recent randomized placebo-controlled trial in India.

With a mere thirty days of supplementation with the arjuna herb, the test group decreased their average bad ldl cholesterol by 27 percent, with a corresponding drop in total cholesterol of 13 percent. The groups receiving either the placebo or 400IU of vitamin E supplementation had no significant change in either measurement.

Breakthrough: Lose 90 lbs in 45 days!

As a bonus, this Ayurvedic herb is not only effective, it is as well very inexpensive and not patentable. That could very well be the reason that you have not heard much about it.
