"This was indicated in a well-known Study that Dr. Ornish often cites. In this Study, about thirteen thousand people were assigned to five different groups, according to their fitness levels. After eight years, the fittest group (which ran thirty to forty miles weekly) had a death rate approximately 300 percent lower than the least fit group (which was sedentary). However, the group that was next-to-last in fitness had a death rate almost as low as the most fit group. The only exercise of the group that was next-to-last in fitness was walking thirty minutes per day. Thus, according to this Study and others like it, a person's primary goal should be simply to become moderately fit." - Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., Brain Longevity: The Breakthrough Medical Program that Improves Your Mind and Memory   (Get the book)

"Furthermore, vitamin C cut deaths from Cardiovascular Disease by 40 percent. A full 25 percent of all Americans, though, don't get even 60 mg of vitamin C per day. As we age, this deficiency begins to take a physical toll. In a Study of hospitalized elderly padents, more than two-thirds had a deficiency of vitamin C in their white blood cells. Vitamin C is an important ingredient in the creation of several neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Therefore, intake of this vitamin can improve cognitive function. In one interesting Study, administration of vitamin C raised students' scores on IQ tests by an average of five points." - Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., Brain Longevity: The Breakthrough Medical Program that Improves Your Mind and Memory   (Get the book)

"One Study showed that women who ate four or more teaspoons of margarine per day had a 66-percent higher chance of contracting Cardiovascular Disease than women who ate about one teaspoon per month. Also, women who eat relatively high levels of the trans-fatty acids found in margarine and shortening have a much higher chance of contracting breast cancer, the number-one cancer killer in women. When men eat this form of fat, they greatly increase their risk of prostate cancer. Therefore I agree with Andrew Weil, M.D., who recommends we not use margarine at all. Mediterranean countries, where olive oil is the primary form of fat that is ingested, have much lower rates of Cardiovascular Disease than does the United States." - Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., Brain Longevity: The Breakthrough Medical Program that Improves Your Mind and Memory   (Get the book)

"Unfortunately, despite remarkable new technology for both diagnosis and treatment of heart-related conditions, the first sign of Cardiovascular Disease may be a life-threatening calamity. Disorders of the cardiovascular system are often far advanced before they become symptomatic. An estimated 25 percent of people who have heart attacks have no previous symptoms of heart trouble. According to a recent Study, the blockages in arteries that can lead to a heart attack or sudden death appear to start forming early in life, in young adults and adolescents as young as age fifteen. Cardiovascular disease is not an inevitable result of aging." - Phyllis A.

"A six-year Study conducted by scientists at the University of Texas found that people being treated for congestive heart failure who took coenzyme Qio in addition to conventional therapy had a 75 percent chance of survival after three years, compared with a 25 percent survival rate for those using conventional therapy alone. In a similar Study by the University of Texas and the Center for Adult Diseases in Japan, coenzyme Qio was shown to be able to lower high blood pressure without medication or dietary changes. In addition to its use in fighting Cardiovascular Disease, coenzyme Qio has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality in experimental animals afflicted with tumors and leukemia." - Phyllis A.

"The first such Study was the Northwick Park Heart Study in the United Kingdom. This large Study involved 1,510 men aged forty to sixty-four who were randomly recruited and tested for a range of clotting factors, including fibrinogen. At four years' follow-up, there was a stronger association between cardiovascular deaths and fibrinogen levels than that for cholesterol. This association has been confirmed in five other prospective epidemiological studies. The clinical significance of these findings can be summarized as follows: 1." - Michael T.

"This awareness is only about fifty years old and due in large measure to the scientists and subjects of the Framingham Heart Study. OUTSIDE OUR BORDERS Framingham is the most well-known heart Study ever done, but it is merely one part of an enormous body of research conducted in this country over the past sixty years. Early research led to the alarming conclusion that we have some of the highest rates of heart disease in the world. One Study published in 1959 compared the coronary heart disease death rates in twenty different countries (Chart 5.1).16 These studies were examining Westernized societies." - T.

"A high-voltage switchyard causes nervous or Cardiovascular Disease, lowered pulse and blood pressure (bradycardia), and tremors in 41 out of 45 workers (and in another 700 worker study). High-voltage Hydro-Quebec workers had 6 times more male births; in Sweden, lower birth rates, and 8% genetic birth defects. Strong ELF field made bees sting each other to death, or leave their area; some sealed themselves into their hives and were asphyxiated. In plants, makes leaves mottle, yellow and drop off. Dispersive degenerative lineartransverse electromagnetic and acoustic wave fields affect biology. Powerful magnetic fields increase suicide 22-40% over normal areas." - Joseph E.

"In a similar Study by the University of Texas and the Center for Adult Diseases in Japan, coenzyme Qio was shown to be able to lower high blood pressure without medication or dietary changes. In addition to its use in fighting Cardiovascular Disease, coenzyme Qio has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality in experimental animals afflicted with tumors and leukemia. Some doctors give their patients coenzyme Qio to reduce the side effects of cancer chemotherapy. Coenzyme Qio is widely used in Japan. More than 12 million people in that country are reportedly taking it at the direction of their physicians for treatment of heart disease (it strengthens the heart muscle) and high blood pressure, and also to enhance the immune system." - Phyllis A.

"One Study showed that 27 to 41 percent of people studied had blood levels of alpha-tocopherol less than 20 micro-moles per liter (p-L), the level below which there appears to be an increased risk for Cardiovascular Disease. Low levels of vitamin E in the body has been linked to both bowel cancer and breast cancer. The d-alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E is the most potent, and is the one we recommend. Also, natural sources of vitamin E are better than synthetic vitamin E because natural vitamin E is more available for use by the body than the synthetic form. Synthetic vitamin E is only 67 percent as active as the natural form." - Phyllis A.

"In one Study, angiograms performed on 205 consecutive patients showed an eighty-two-percent accuracy in predicting heart disease based on the earlobe crease, with a false positive rate of twelve percent and a false negative rate of eighteen percent.76 A false positive situation exists when there is an earlobe crease and no evidence of heart disease. A false negative situation occurs when there is no earlobe crease, but there is evidence of heart disease. So you can see that the presence of an earlobe crease was quite significant in this Study." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E.

"One Chinese Study clearly showed that buckwheat intake was associated with lower total serum cholesterol, lower levels of LDL (the cholesterol linked to cardiovascular disease), and a high ratio of HDL (the health-promoting cholesterol) to total cholesterol. Even though buckwheat lacks bran and germ, it still rates as a very good fiber source. HOW TO SELECT AND STORE For freshness, it is always important to ensure there is no moisture in the food, and that bulk buckwheat bins are covered and your market has a quick turnover. Store buckwheat in an airtight container and keep it in a dry, cool place." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods   (Get the book)
