Can clogged arteries be reversed?

[Guest guest]

That is what the allopathic drs would have you believe so that they can keep

pumping you full of their drugs - it is not true.

 

I was diagnosed as having 60% and 80% blockages - 2 years ago and have had no

angioplasty or bypass ops. I was on meds for the first year but have not

taken anything for the last 9 months or so other than supplements and a much

healthier diet.

 

A healthy diet is not necessarily what the allopaths dictate either, because

eggs are good for you and not to be avoided as they tell you. Also you

should change your cooking habits, I believe JoAnn called it 'low and slow'

and only use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and as much organic produce as you

possibly can.

Reversing Heart Disease

 

---------------------------

 

Dean Ornish M.D. is president and director of the Preventive Medicine

Research Institute and Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of

California. He has published peer-reviewed articles in top journal articles,

showing that dietary and lifestyle changes can not only halt the progression

of heart disease but begin to reverse it in the vast majority of people. His

dietary program has been implemented in numerous hospitals in America.

Information about his program can be found at the sites linked to above and

in is excellent book:

Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery',

1996

Dear Sandy,

 

Doctors have been using EDTA in an IV solution to chelate buldup from

the atreries for probaly more than 30 or 40 years now if removal of

plaque is what a person wants. it is safe and has a long track record

and is available all over the usa.

 

There are also some oral chelation formulas to use but are not as

fast acting.

 

Dean Ornish also showed reversal of heart disease and plaque buildup

with his program.

 

Mattias Rath has shown reversal of plaque using vitamin C and a

couple of amino acids.

 

Some other supplements have been shown to clean the pipes also.

A grapefruit pectin exract comes to mind and there are others but I

cant remember for the moment.

 

If the doctor said that it is impossible to reverse plaque he isn't

being completly truthfull or he has been out of the loop for a very

long time. This standard answer is the stock one given out by the

meical establishment, but these other things are widely known, they

just discount them because it isn't their version of the truth.

 

regards,

 

Frank
