Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease
We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact. I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labelled “opinion makers.” Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol. The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice.It Is Not Working!
These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.
The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.
Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before.
Statistics from the American Heart Association show that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes. These disorders are affecting younger and younger people in greater numbers every year.
Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.
Inflammation is not complicated — it is quite simply your body’s natural defence to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process,a condition occurs called chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.
What thoughtful person would willfully expose himself repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to cause injury to the body? Well, smokers perhaps, but at least they made that choice willfully.
The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.
Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine. … more http://www.sott.net/articles/show/242516-Heart-Surgeon-Speaks-Out-On-What-Really-Causes-Heart-Disease
Just go back to eating like your great grandmother did in the ‘old days’….except supercharge it – Indian in the machine
Face it… the stuff they often pass as food nowadays is toxic waste… what can we do, as we are also dealing with chemtrails and radiation?
Just go back to eat like your great grandmother….except supercharge it by going 50% raw/sprouted food, including smoothies (blender drinks made with glass container… no plastic) with added diatomaceous earth (negatively charged silica will bind to positively charged heavy metals), or clay for radiation, chemtrail and heavy metal removal… and add whole non-processed sugar and/or honey (naturally antibacterial for parasites), especially if your mental ability requires a boost… if you do have parasites then you know where you sugar cravings are coming from. Adding 1 tbsp of chia seeds to smoothies will provide an energy blast… you’ll have the energy to get it all done. If you’re not doing radiation/heavy metal detox at this point, get on it without further delay… dandelion in your smoothies is awesome to clean up the blood. Once you’ve done a few weeks of heavy metal detox, you’ll find even more energy and ability returning.
Dandelions are free…so no excuses okay… other healing plants are available in your area… get to know the green and flowery edibles in the fields where you live… add a bit to your blender drinks and salads… keep in mind many bagged cut veggies sold nowadays are soaked in a chlorine solution and who knows what else… (sick puppies will do anything to make an extra penny on a radish). Sprouted radish sprouts tastes way better than any bagged radish could ever aspire… the greens can be use for salads.
If you stock up on sprouted seeds, legumes and peas, then you will have a supercharged… regular and emergency food energy source that you don’t even need to cook… simply rinse your sprouts in himalayan salt solution for extra nutrtional zing… it’s that easy.
