A Wonder Drug for Cholesterol?
The Team had been working on human trials of a promising new heart drug. It was late(they always worked late) when the head of the study group called everyone in to review shattering new information.
The wonder cholesterol drug was actually increasing heart problems and deaths.
What! About 60% of deaths were of people using the new wonder cholesterol drug. The rest were not using the drug.
After an enormous amount of intellectual action, time and a $billion in funding was this all we have?
This type of story is real, it happens regularly with all medical research where there are no sure things. These are disasters for all involved, doctors, funders and potential patients.
The market for a wonder cholesterol drug is worth billions in annual sales.There are heart drugs on the market that lower bad cholesterol and many are trying to develop a drug that raises good cholesterol. The idea that doing both reduces the risk of heart failure.
Your doctor can measure the amount of it, as well as the amounts of other fats in your blood. If he finds very high levels on your cholesterol charts, or other fats, he may suggest changes you should make in your daily diet.
He will usually suggest a gradual change in your diet and recommend that you eat fewer dairy products, lard, eggs, cheese and red meats. He should then recommend that you eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, lean poultry and fish, and liquid vegetable oils. Eating proper diet low in saturated fats can do a great deal to maintain health. You are on your way to good cholesterol levels and good heart health.
Saturated fats are the ones that are usually solid at room temperature. They can be found in butter, whole milk, most cheeses made from whole milk or cream, lard, fatty meats, and shortenings.
Unsaturated fats normally are any fat that is liquid at room temperature. Some excellent examples of unsaturated fats are olive oil, flaxseed oil and fish oils.
The important thing to remember is that while saturated fats can be harmful to your body, unsaturated fats can actually be very helpful. How Can You Prevent Heart Disease - Or even reverse it? 150 years ago heart disease was virtually unheard of. Today it is the #1 cause of death in America. It kills nearly 30% of us. In fact, it kills more women than all forms of cancer, chronic lung disease, pneumonia, AIDS, diabetes and accidents combined. If you or a loved one is currently suffering from heart disease, can you honestly say that you have been given all your options? Are you absolutely certain that your doctor is “up-to-speed” on all these ways to prevent, treat, or even reverse heart disease?
You don’t have to face fate if you look at ways discovered to kiss heart disease goodbye. These secrets to good heart health do not rely on prescription drugs and needless surgery.
What? My doctor is always going on about my cholesterol being too high. Is he right?
You decide. Good information to help you, may make the picture clearer.
The human body's healing response to chronic scurvy is what is often called coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, hardening, plaque, narrowing, etc.
Armed with the knowledge of the how and why plaques are created, how do we "turn off" this process? Could this be prevention and reversal of heart disease?
More than a decade of experience has verified that the correct therapy quickly reverses cardiovascular disease. Scientists working on life extension have noticed that people who take high amounts of vitamin C and watch their diet show no signs of cardiovascular disease.
The good news is that some doctors are willing to work with their patients and use a simple and safe therapy. Talk to your doctor about a simple and safe method to prevent and heal disease. Don't be surprised if they seem puzzled or off handed, they simply might not know.
Heart by-pass surgery has a high failure rate. It doesn’t last for long either with many people having a subsequent heart attack within 5 years of the expensive procedure.
Many people with severe heart disease who have adopted a suitable therapeutic program have found surprisingly good health.
The first statin drugs were released in 1987, and the manufacturing and promotion of these drugs has grown into a huge business. They are the most widely prescribed class of drugs in history.
The hot selling statins like Lipitor® and Zocor® lower cholesterol by blocking the coenzyme HMG-CoA reductase.
Are they making an expensive replacement for what you can get from fruit and vegetables by being a smart heart health weight watcher? Vitamin C is the human body's natural HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. When vitamin C levels are low, the body compensates and manufactures more cholesterol; when levels are high, the vitamin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, lowering cholesterol.
The problem with the artificial statins is that they at the same time reduce circulating levels of ubiquinone, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and raise levels of the lipid Lp (a).
A decline in CoQ10 by artificial statins has been linked to muscle pain, muscle myopathy and congestive heart failure. The real problem is elevated Lp (a), a specific lipo-protein which means a 70 percent higher probability of heart attack or stroke.
Vitamin C is nature's perfect statin. At the proper (high) dosage vitamin C lowers Lp (a), and promotes the natural production of ubiquinone (CoQ10).
The link between cholesterol and vitamin C Some facts to consider
Good heart health has a lot to do with cholesterol but in many more ways than you might have thought. Being informed gives you a real advantage.
