Heart Disease

High Blood Pressure, & High Cholesterol

The Number 2 Killer

1500 people lost their lives yesterday to heart disease and thousands more suffer from high blood pressure or high cholesterol. 1500 more people will lose their lives today in spite of the vast research and modern medicine. As a matter of fact, the two biggest killers in the USA today are heart disease and cancer. I, and many others know, that high cholesterol and high blood pressure are caused by a simple nutritional deficiency.  

Years ago some hot shot medical researcher submitted an article on heart disease that linked high cholesterol to people that were dying of heart disease. He did not come up with a natural cure for heart disease so it was assumed that we must have been getting to much cholesterol in our diet (he was right in a way). So the low fat craze was born and heart disease and cancer have risen in spite of the typical low fat diet of today. Heart disease is caused by a lack of certain nutrients that support the structural health of the circulatory system. This will cause this beneficial substance found in every cell in the body, to rise to high levels clogging arteries, causing strokes and heart disease?

The low fat diet craze created a huge market for vegetable oils instead of coconut oil or olive oil. These oils are known as trans-fats which trigger the liver to produce more cholesterol. Saturated fats from animals can also trigger the production of cholesterol. However, some people can eat animal fats and never have a problem. Why?

Many people think dietary cholesterol contributes to high cholesterol. However, a study done in 1960 by the American Cancer Society found that people who eat more than 5 eggs a week had fewer heart attacks than those people that ate less than 5 eggs a week. This seems to totally discredit the theory of dietary cholesterol causing heart disease. Another study in 1970 found women could cut their risk of heart attacks 50 to 60% by eating nuts 5 or more times a week.

Collagen comprises 95% of the bodies soft tissues, if it isn't bone, its made of collagen. What happens with heart disease is, the collagen matrix breaks down because the diet does not provide the necessary ingredients for the body to make collagen. This causes the arteries to become hard and no longer elastic. They cannot stretch with the beating of the heart muscle and this restriction causes the blood pressure to rise.

In the case of high cholesterol, the lack of collagen to produce new arterial cells causes them to crack and leak blood. The body goes into survival mode and the liver begins to produce more cholesterol. The body then uses the cholesterol or lipoprotein A to patch or coat the leaking arteries as plaque to keep you from bleeding to death. High blood pressure will eventually follow as the arteries become restricted if the structure of the collagen matrix is not addressed.

This process does take time because the body is very resilient and will try to keep itself healthy. After 40 years or so it just can't keep the circulatory system healthy without the proper nutrition. That is all this is, heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are all caused by a nutritional deficiency. All disease that is not caused by a virus is caused by a nutritional deficiency, if you correct it, the body will heal itself.
