In summary, to protect yourself against CVD, you'll want to implement strategies that: Lower your insulin resistance and restore your insulin sensitivity Increase your parasympathetic tone and deactivate your sympathetic nervous system Improve microcirculation to your heart Improve your mitochondrial function Here are a number of suggestions that can help you accomplish these things: Avoid [...]
Stents, a commonly performed surgical procedure used to remediate damage from coronary artery disease, are another often ill-advised "remedy" for heart disease. Three studies18,19,20 published in 2017 and 2018 reveal just how ineffective this procedure is. There are a number of parameters that are crucial for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment for heart disease, [...]
Unfortunately, we're wasting tens of billions of dollars on ineffective treatments and surgical procedures for heart disease in the U.S. Among them are statin drugs to lower cholesterol. While these drugs may decrease the frequency of mild heart attacks, they will not necessarily lower your risk of heart disease or death from a major heart [...]
High cholesterol and blocked arteries are also the conventional explanation for why heart attacks occur. Alas, there's plenty of evidence refuting these notions. In his 2004 book, "The Etiopathogenesis of Coronary Heart Disease,"15 the late Dr. Giorgio Baroldi wrote that the largest study done on heart attack incidence revealed only 41 percent of people who [...]
According to Dr. Thomas Dayspring, a lipidologist (expert on cholesterol), most heart attacks are due to insulin resistance. In the video above, biochemical engineer Ivor Cummins explains the role insulin resistance plays in heart disease, and why cholesterol is not the problem.12 In simple layman's terms Cummins demonstrates the connection between the metabolic functionality of [...]
Rather than focusing on cholesterol, two tests that are far more important for assessing your CVD risk are the serum ferritin and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) tests. The GGT test can be used as a screening marker for excess free iron and is a great indicator of your sudden cardiac death risk. The recommended, ideal levels, [...]
According to the latest statistics1 by the American Heart Association (AHA), nearly half (48 percent) of all American adults have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD) — a classification that includes high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke — and deaths from CVD are again on the rise, after decades of being on [...]
