Cholesterol – medication and diseases that can increase your cholesterol levels

Beta Blockers Beta-blockers are prescribed to treat high blood pressure. Beta-blockers also have been noted to decrease HDL levels and elevate triglyceride levels.

Does the heart store the memory of its previous owner?
Does the heart store the memory of its previous owner? Strange tales about heart transplants There are many well documented cases of the transformations that have taken place after the heart of one person is hosted by another. These examples add to the evidence that a heart interacts with the new body based on its previous memory. It even has its own Wi-Fi and Blue tooth functions. Is this data is relayed from the physical heart or is the heart’s computer logging onto some form of cosmic “internet”? Perhaps science will provide the answer one day. We have to accept it …

Vitamin C can reduce heart disease
According to scientists, human beings could make their own vitamin C, but that has changed. A lack of vitamin C weakens arteries and genetic research is now suggesting that the development of lipoprotein A was a response to protect leaky arteries. We know that vitamin C deficiency will raise cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, Apo-protein and lipoprotein A and lowers HDL and enough C will do the opposite. Vitamin C will inhibit excessive production of cholesterol and helps to convert cholesterol into bile. Vitamin C deficiency is common amongst human cardiovascular disease and should be universal treatment for the disease. Homocysteine – …
