CHOLESTEROL NATURAL CURES CONTROVERSY
Just what is this matter we call
cholesterol, anyway? Webster's College Dictionary, 1995
edition, states: "a sterol, abundant in animal fats, brain and
nerve tissue, meat and eggs, that functions in the body as a membrane
constituent and as a precursor of steroid hormones and bile acids:
high levels in the blood are associated with arteriosclerosis and
gallstones."
That's a mouthful. But without cholesterol the
body cannot make the sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and vitamin
D. Excess cholesterol is converted in the liver to bile acids,
which are normally eliminated in the feces.
Does Bad Cholesterol Exist?
Some experts feel high
levels of cholesterol have very little to do with dietary intake of
it. There is a correlation between blood cholesterol levels and the
incidence of coronary artery disease. One must, however, distinguish
between the total blood cholesterol level and the cholesterol portion in
the blood carried by HDL (high-density lipoprotein).
Before you
begin a strict program to reduce cholesterol blood levels, check the
total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio first. This risk ratio
can be determined by a simple blood test by any medical
doctor.
There does exist hope, however, when one has reason for
concern over their blood work. But remember--the body is a fantastic
mechanism and always moves itself toward health. To help it along,
it needs proper information.
This "information" that I speak of has
to do with more than adequate nutrition. In addition to eating more raw
fruits and vegetables, and drinking pure water, try to locate a sound
nutritional supplier. Years ago, Dr. Linus Pauling's work demonstrated the
value of vitamin C in helping the body dislodge and eliminate harmful
arterial plaque. If you were to go to your favorite health store or
drug store for vitamin C, you probably would not receive the same benefits
as Dr. Pauling did. Why is that? (Pauling, Linus & Cameron, Ewan. "Cancer and Vitamin C." Camino Books. Philadelphia, PA,
1993.)
Because nutrients must be in an appropriate electrical
matrix or else they are not functional to the human body. For
instance, vitamin C is sold worldwide but as a synthetic supplement,
usually in a chewable tablet.
Unfortunately, isolated vitamin C is not in
a proper electrical matrix making it as useless to the human body as
sawdust. Instead, vitamin C must be combined in a matrix form with trace
minerals, bioflavonoids and electrolytes. Only when introduced in
this particular matrix or pattern can the human body actually use the
nutritional information present in the vitamin C.
Vitamin C has
been known—for 40 or 50 years—to reduce cholesterol levels.
That is not news. The reason most of us have high
cholesterol —which means high plaque levels in the blood, veins and
arteries—is that the liver produces low density cholesterol (LDL),
then it sends it out to patch up arteries so we don’t die of
internal bleeding. That low density cholesterol builds up over the
years and becomes plaque. Eventually, it clogs the arteries and
we go into a condition of stroke.
When you start consuming
vitamin C in the right electrical pattern, you are supporting the
body’s ability to build collagen. As the collagen restructures
arteries and veins, plaque is released from the walls of the
arteries. Cholesterol levels go up at first. Then they go
down. The plaque build-up on your arteries goes down. Your liver stops producing LDL, because you now
have collagen to
build tissue.
Augmenting your nutritional program with
high-quality, plant-based enzymes help the body grab stray protein
profiles (plaque), digest them in the bloodstream and deliver them
to the liver, which eliminates them from your body. All the tools
are here for a clean and well-fed body . . . which means this
condition may disappear, as it has in many cases.
Please do not be overwhelmed with all the technical jargon.
Simply upgrade your lifestyle and eating habits. Couple that with
supplements that mimic natural creation and you've got a winning
combination. And who knows, maybe you'll be the next to live your
own success story!
