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 – check your level

The damage in arteries is caused by homocysteine. If you have had a stroke or heart attack – we now know that there is a 50% chance that you have high homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels are 40 times more predictive of a heart attack than cholesterol. You can lower your homocysteine with folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Homocysteine will also damage cholesterol and can let it accumulate in the arteries.

What is new?

Stem cell harvesting from the patient’s own hip. These stem cells are incubated for three hours and then injected by a catheter into left ventricle of the heart. This is a miracle grow for the heart. This procedure has risks like: arrhythmia and inflammatory responses to the implanted cells that fail to grow. This is still a last resort because of risk, but holds many promises in time to come.
