| McCully, Kilmer The Heart Revolution: The Extraordinary Discovery That Finally Laid the Cholesterol Myth to Rest "In 1994 I introduced a closely related theory of aging that involves thioretinaco ozonide, a compound urnade of homocysteine, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and ozone...In a report published in 1969 in the American Journal of Pathology, McCully unveiled what he would eventually call the homocysteine theory of arteriosclerosis." |
| Omega-9 (Oleic Acid) (consumed regularly in small amounts) may help prevent/reverse arteriosclerosis, heart disease &/or cancer and is found in olive oil (extra virgin or virgin), olives, avocados, almonds, peanuts, sesame oil, pecans, pistachio nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts. http://goodfats.pamrotella.com/ |

| Matthias Rath MD discovered that lipoprotein(a) is needed for bad cholesterol to stick inside a blood vessel wall, but that vitamin C reduces this risk, especially with lysine and proline. Vol 8, #1 The Doctor's Prescription for Healthy Living magazine www.freedompressonline.com |

Stress rather than bad cholesterol may be a culprit in the
hardening of artery walls believes Takio Shimamoto. It is vinegar (acetic acid) from which adrenal cortical hormones are made notes 1964 Nobel prize winner Canadian Dr Hans Selye. Alkaline foods such as citrus fruits, lemonade, ume vinegar, ume wine, ume plum, pickles may help reduce or help reverse the effects of stress and hardening of the arteries. www.naturodoc.com/library/lifestyle/umeboshi_vinegar.htm |
| The artery lining may be damaged by excess homocysteine. Homocysteine naturally occurs from sulphur-bearing amino acid metabolism. Sulphur-bearing amino acids are methionine, cystine, cysteine and taurine. When vitamin B6, B12 and B9 are adequate, excessive homocysteine may be prevented. http://aminoacidbotanicalandsupplementsource.net/b-long_info.htm |

Athero-Sclerosis |
|
Progressive narrowing and hardening of the arteries over time may occur to
some degree with aging &/or excess plaque. "Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis... An abnormal difference may indicate peripheral vascular disease." www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/00525.html |

| Galacturonic acid found only in grapefruit pulp, including membranes that separate the sections and interior white rind, dislodges artery plaque and may reverse atherosclerosis per Dr James Cerda, University of Florida, USA.

| Nitric oxide from arginine found in peanuts and almonds, eg, help dilate blood vessels and clean out arteries. 5/15/2009 www.bottomlinesecrets.com www.heartattackproof.com |
| Pomegranates may reverse severe atherosclerosis. Pomegranates contain the enzyme paraoxonase-l that greatly protects against LDL oxidation. It also reduces abnormal platelet aggregation, lowers blood pressure by inhibiting the angiotension converting enzyme, plus protects arterial wall against cholesterol accumulation. Pomegranate suppresses the dangerous inflammatory cytokine called interleukin-1 beta, which is associated with inflammatory disorders.

| Vitamin K1 (from dark leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, broccoli) and especially biologically active vitamin K2 called menaquinone-7 (from vitamin K1 intestine conversion, fermented soy natto, dairy products) contribute to reduction of atherosclerosis, arterial disease, bond fractures, artery calcification, and osteoporosis. Take with calcium at bedtime! Vitamin K1 is recognized for its contribution to blood clotting, skin/artery elasticity, and reduction of skin bruising. Winter2006/Summer2007 www.lef.org |
