Guest guest Posted October 8, 2002 Report Share Posted October 8, 2002 Sat Oct 5, 2002 6:43 pm Strokes: Vitamin Deficiencies? One of the great advances in modern medicine is the discovery that heart attacks and strokes are not diseases, but may be the results of long-term vitamin deficiencies! This new understanding of America's number one health problem was discovered by Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D., who has concluded that Cholesterol and other blood factors are deposited inside the arteries only if the blood vessel walls are weakened by vitamin deficiencies! The study, published in the " Journal of Applied Nutrition " , was conducted with different stages of coronary heart disease, ranging from early to advanced forms. The study documented the growth of calcified atherosclerotic deposits in the coronary artery walls of these patients before and during one year of the vitamin program. The deposits were measured directly by means of Ultrafast Computed Tomography. This new technique allows diagnosis of heart disease before the patient feels any symptoms, and allows the non-invasive monitoring of the coronary deposits. A comparison of the growth rate of coronary calcium deposits before and after following a natural program of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, showed that this disease can be stopped in its early stages in the relatively short time of one year. The researchers also concluded that in some cases the nutritional supplement program was likely responsible for the reversal of existing coronary deposits! According to a paper co-authored by Matthias Rath,M.D., and Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, Ph.D., subjects taking part in the study received a daily dosage of the following nutritional supplements for a period of one year...Vitamins: 2,700 mg vitamin C, 600 IU vitamin E, 7,500 IU beta carotene, 30 mg. vitamin B1, 30 mg.vitamin B2, 195 mg. vitamin B3, 180 mg. vitamin B5, 45 mg. vitamin B6, 90 mcg vitamin B12, 600 IU vitamin D, 390 mcg. folic acid, 300 mcg. biotin, 150 mg. inositol, 30 mg.coenzyme Q10, 30 mg. pycnogenol, 450 mg. citrus bioflavonoids. Minerals: 150 mg. calcium, 180 mg. magnesium 90 mg. potassium 60 mg. phosphate 30 mg. zinc 6 mg. manganese 1500 mcg. copper 90 mcg. selenium 45 mcg. chromium 18 mcg. molybdenum. Amino Acids: 450 mg L-proline 450 mg L-lysine 150 mg L-carnitine 150 mg L-arginine 150 mg L-cysteine JoAnn Guest angelprincessjo Friendsforhealthnaturally http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/AIM.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read another study which suggested that cholesterol is deposited in our blood vessels in an attempt to repair cracks and fissures which have developed. The deposits are not a cause but a symptom of damage that has occured to the blood vessel walls. Weakened and damaged are two different things. So who is right?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 " Weakened " and " damaged " are probably meant to mean the same thing in the two sources quoted. - " Morton Bodanis " <mortonmb .......... deposits are not a cause but a symptom of damage that has occured to the blood vessel walls. > > Weakened and damaged are two different things.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Weakened blood vessels are in effect damaged so both are right. When you have a weakened blood vessel that is when cracks can appear. You can reverse the damage done with supplements so I would agree that it is a sympton which alerts you to the fact that damage has been done - without this warning system, some would carry on until they dropped dead at a young age. If we knew about the lack of vitamins/minerals that are causing this before it occured, then we would not have to go through the dreadful processes of heart bypasses etc - I wish I had known about them long before my arteries became hardened by cholesterol. I do know that it is reversable though and am gradually improving by taking the necessary supplements and not eating processed food and not by the dreadful surgery route.
