Cardiovascular Disease (aka Heart Disease) - Causes and Cures
What Is Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular disease, simply stated, is the condition in which many arteries, small arteries, and capillaries are partially or completely blocked, eventually leading to heart attacks, strokes, and organ failure.
What Causes Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular disease is caused by the accumulation of a sticky, fatty protein called Lipoprotein(a), usually referred to as Lp(a), in arteries and capillaries.
Lp(a) is synthesized in the liver when there is insufficient ascorbate (vitamin C) in the bloodstream to form collagen for the continuous repair of arteries, small arteries, and capillaries that carry nutrients to all of our cells. The amount of vitamin C needed varies widely, but it is typically in the thousands of milligrams (mg) per day. Most wild animals produce their own vitamin C, but humans cannot, so we must consume it.
To make a long story short, Lp(a) is a sticky, temporary "band-aid" which our body synthesizes and uses to prevent us from bleeding internally when we don't have sufficient vitamin C to form collagen for artery and capillary repair. The problem is this: if we chronically have insufficient vitamin C, Lp(a) accumulates at the thousands of repair sites. This is cardiovascular disease.
Can Cardiovascular Disease Be Cured?
The answer is: Yes, there is. It requires removing Lp(a) from the bloodstream, and this can be simply done by consuming sufficient vitamin C for collagen repair.
However, it must be done very carefully, especially if a glucose-reducing medication has been prescribed. Once Lp(a) levels are reduced or eliminated, millions of cells suddenly can utilize insulin to convert blood glucose into energy, and glucose levels can drop extremely quickly, causing a hypoglycemic reaction.
So the introduction of vitamin C should be done slowly and carefully, starting with one dose of 500 mg per day with a meal, monitoring blood glucose levels, and progressively increasing vitamin C dosage by 500 mg each week, dividing the doses by meals. Increase your dosage of vitamin C to 2000 mg per meal, three times per day, for a total of 6000 mg per day.
There is no toxic or hazardous dose. However, during this increase you may encounter diarrhea; this is because oral vitamin C is not very well absorbed in your small intestine (only about 25%) and the rest is mildly irritating to the large intestine. If this is the case, try eating several bananas per day to resolve it. If that does not work, lower the dose to the point where the diarrhea is not a problem, as you have reached your "bowel tolerance dose" of vitamin C.
If you are taking a glucose-reducing medication and glucose levels go below normal, you can slowly reduce the medication as you increase the vitamin C dosage, since it will no longer be needed when your glucose-to-energy system is working normally again.
Meanwhile, you can remove the accumulations (cardiovascular plaques) of Lp(a) in the arteries and capillaries, you can take two amino acids - lysine and proline - 2000 mg of each amino acid with each meal, a total of 6000 mg of lysine and proline each day. It takes several months to remove the Lp(a) accumulations.
In addition, a good supplement regimen should include 1000 mg of calcium and 1000 mg of magnesium per day, and a high-quality multivitamin/multimineral supplement.
Your daily vitamin C is a lifetime commitment to prevent recurrence of cardiovascular disease. I recommend continuing the lysine, proline, calcium, magnesium, and multivitamin supplement as well.
For more information about Lp(a), cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes, see the article The Six Stages Of Cardiovascular Disease.
You don't need Lipitor or Zocor or Crestor!
You don't need Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor, or other statin drugs, beta blockers, or calcium channel blockers. The statin drugs are actually toxic chemicals that do nothing to resolve cardiovascular disease and will eventually cause degeneration of your muscle and nervous systems. If you are taking any statin drug such as Lipitor or Crestor, I strongly urge you to stop taking them immediately.

I also recommend ordering David Leake's new book, which documents his successful reversal of cardio disease using the Rath/Pauling therapy. See his website page at http://aworldwithoutheartdisease.com/
