INFLAMMATION NOT LDL

INFLAMMATION NOT LDL

At a medical conference I asked a Chairman of Medicine of a prestigious university how he would treat a man who had a massive heart attack with a cholesterol of only 140, LDL of 50, normal coronary arteries, and no other risk factors.  He said ‘That’s a no brainer – give him a high dose statin.’  I then said, “That man’s cholesterol, LDL and coronary arteries are excellent.  It’s probably only inflammation or a clot, so one could use vitamins and other nutrients instead.”  He abruptly and arrogantly said ‘No, give him a statin’ and he turned away.  This is what Big Pharma does.  They pay so-called “thought leaders” to influence other doctors to prescribe their drugs. And these “thought leaders” must not deviate from the written words given to them by Big Pharma.

40% HAVE A PFO (PATENT FORAMEN OVALE) – DO YOU?

40% HAVE A PFO (PATENT FORAMEN OVALE) – DO YOU?

Do you get Jet Lag, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, headaches, rapid heartbeat, or feel overheated, or have had an unexplained stroke, heart attack, or partial blindness?  PFO (PATENT FORAMEN OVALE) affects up to 40% of all adults in the world and was first described by Claudius Galen in 200 A.D.  It’s a hole in the upper chambers of the heart that usually closes during early infancy.  Normally the blood travels from the right side of the heart through the lungs to the left side of the heart and then into the rest of the body before returning back to the right side of the heart. This allows the lungs to pick up oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide (gas exchange), filter clots/particles out of the circulation, and cool the blood, and, therefore the body.   A PFO has many other:

DR LINUS PAULING THERAPY FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

DR LINUS PAULING THERAPY FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Dr Pauling found that Lipoprotein(a) increases when vitamin C levels are low, perhaps as a protective mechanism since Lipoprotein(a) binds to weakened arterial walls (less collagen and elastin fibers) to repair damage – like a patch. Dr. Pauling thought cardiovascular disease is a form of chronic pre-scurvy. Read what he recommends.

LOW LDL DOES NOT PROTECT, BUT BIG PHARMA AND HARVARD SAY YES

LOW LDL DOES NOT PROTECT, BUT BIG PHARMA AND HARVARD SAY YES

Amgen, the maker of evolocumab (Repatha) funded the research, paid EVERY author on the paper, led by Harvard researchers, and the findings were published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine May 4, 2017. If you take the drug, evolocumab (Repatha), your LDL will go down but you won’t live any longer. IT’S ALL ABOUT INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATION.
