HEART ATTACK=Lack of Vitamin C? Part1/2

Posted by admin on Sep 5, 2009

THE CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE (from www.herbaladvantage.com/includes/heart-1 x.htm).

Science has known for almost two decades that damage to the walls of blood vessels (or lesions) are a necessary precondition for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Competing theories for the reason this damage occurs include a) oxidized or Glycated cholesterol in the blood b) oxidized homocysteine in the blood and c) vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The oxidized cholesterol and homocysteine theorists, while pointing to their own experiments, have yet to explain why infarctions are usually close to the heart, i.e., where mechanical stress is great, rather than randomly disributed throughout the body. Nor do these theories satisfactorily explain why animals, that produce their own vitamin C, do not suffer the same disease.

During the last decade, 2-time Nobel Prize winner Pauling and his associate and heart researcher Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D., independently formulated their own assessment regarding the cause and nature of occlusive heart disease. They agree that heart disease is essentially a repair process that is started by a lesion; their theory explains the primary reason these lesions occur. Accordingly, Cardiovascular disease is a natural body healing process for the walls of arteries and veins weak from insufficient collagen, a condition caused by inadequate vitamin C in the diet.

Since vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant, it would be a prudent remedy even if either the oxidized cholesterol or oxidized homocysteine theories have merit. Experiments are needed to determine whether either oxidized substance is dangerous when the body pool of vitamin C is high, such as the case with most animals.
