Thank you Shirish. The " other " heart disease theory mentioned in your

linked article refers to homocysteine - which is a marker of

inflammation in the body, and is now said by researchers to be a

better risk marker for cardiovascular disease than LDL.

 

This is information that seems unknown to GPs, but is well known to

any graduate naturopath. So who is the quack?

 

The inflammation theory of CVD correlates better to a primary Pittaja

condition, with Kapha as a secondary effect. Hence Arjuna, a common

ayurvedic heart support herb, is both Pitta and Kapha reducing, and

other Hrdaya herbs are also Pittahara.

 

By the way, high doses of Omega-3 fish oils have been found to be

better anti-depressants than prescription drugs. It wouldn't surprise

me if ghee, being a medhya (brain-enhancing) herb, was found to have

similar effectiveness.
