 "This can lead to blockage of the coronary arteries and a heart attack.
Vitamin E is built into LDL for protection from oxidation that can lead to clogged arteries.
Four published, large-scale, randomized, double-blind clinical intervention studies tested the effectiveness of supplemental vitamin E to reduce heart attacks. Three of these studies used 50 mg of vitamin E in the synthetic form and found little correlation with heart attacks. However, the study using 268 mg to 567 mg of vitamin E in the natural alpha-tocopherol form found a strong correlation with reduced heart attacks."- Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) |
 "Some arteries of intermediate caliber have walls that suggest larger arteries, while some large arteries have walls like those of medium-sized arteries. The transitional regions ... are often designated arteries of mixed type'" (Goldberger, Bhargava, West, and Mandell, 1985, p. 525).
The presence of fractals and other descriptive tools of complexity theory abound in anatomy and physiology. They describe not only heart-rate variability but also "fluctuations in respiration, systemic blood pressure, human gait, and white blood cell counts" (Goldberger, 1996)."- J.D. Kleinke, Oxymorons: The Myth of a U.S. Health Care System (Get the book.) |
 "But I observed when I was cutting into the thighs of these patients that those who were vegetarians had better arteries."
"When we did the surgery," he continued, "if it was a nice, smooth artery, I went back later and asked the patient, and it turned out that he or she was a vegetarian. And those who really had a lot of heavy calcium and plaque in the arteries, their diet would not be toward the vegetarian side. Now that wasn't true 100 percent, and I didn't keep any statistics or write any papers or anything; it was just something I observed. But I began thinking about it."- Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
| "Sometimes the textbook approach seems to dance around the truth," he writes in Biophysics Journal, allowing the ambiguity included in a cornerstone medical text to speak for itself: "Tn the gradual transition from one type of artery to another it is sometimes difficult to classify the intermediate region. Some arteries of intermediate caliber have walls that suggest larger arteries, while some large arteries have walls like those of medium-sized arteries. The transitional regions ... are often designated arteries of mixed type'" (Goldberger, Bhargava, West, and Mandell, 1985, p. 525)." - J.D.

 "Hawthorn berries accomplish both; they restore blood flow to the heart by dilating the coronary arteries and increase the heart's energy production. The mineral magnesium helps naturally relieve angina pain by relaxing spastic coronary arteries, an effect that may also prevent angina attacks from occurring.
Once again, preventing future angina attacks is preferable to reducing angina pain once another attack occurs. Along this line, Dr. Mark Stengler calls coenzyme Q10 (CoQIO) the "supplement of choice for prevention of future attacks."- Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) |
 "Blood Vessels
Blood vessels can be divided into three categories: 1. arteries, which convey oxygenated blood away from the heart. 2. Capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels of the body—so small in diameter that blood cells can only pass through them single file. Their cell walls are thin enough to allow nutrients and oxygen to pass through to the cells of the body, and to pick up carbon dioxide along with a certain amount of waste products from the cells. 3. Veins, which convey blood toward the heart, carry de-oxygenated blood primarily loaded with carbon dioxide."- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
 "The primary adverse effect that is expected at very high levels of vitamin D is hypercalcemia, which can lead, over time, to calcification of soft tissues such as arteries (arteriosclerosis) and kidney (nephrocalcinosis) [7]. A less specific indicator is hypercal-ciuria, which may lead to increased risk of kidney stones [7].
A recent risk assessment for vitamin D used new data (post-1997) to derive a revised UL [61]. Studies indicated there was absence of any signs of toxicity when healthy adults were given over 250 pg (10,000 IU) daily."- Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) |
 "Vitamin E guards the nerves and is effective against narrowing of the arteries. Vitamin D is crucial for the immune system and may play a role in cancer prevention as well. And so we could go on and on, but the truth is that other authors have researched the power of vitamins already very well, so why compete with them? To make a long story short, vitamins can do at least three things:
(1) Vitamins can impede one from getting sick, and so one wouldn't have to take drugs.
(2) Vitamins can help one in getting well, without drugs."- Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "This is where the arteries become clogged and narrowed with fatty deposits (plaque), reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and causing chest pain (angina). The second is heart rhythm problems, which is primarily an electrical conduction problem. It is an electrical impulse that causes the heart to beat in the first place and when this is disrupted, such physical difficulties such as palpitations, dizziness or weakness, and fainting occurs. This is because there is not enough blood being moved through the body." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
| "Examples of conditions resulting from toxic storage include atherosclerosis (fatty deposits inside arteries), arthritis (deposits of toxins and unnatural calcium in joint tissues which result in degenerative changes of those tissues), fibromyalgia (toxins and unnatural calcium in muscle tissue), and gout (storage of uric acid as far from the heart as possible).
Disease is the price we pay for our body's effort to survive longer in the face of our wrongdoing." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
 "This Integrator also is implicated bioenergetically in the formation of excess fibrin, which can clog arteries in the brain and contribute to increased susceptibility to stroke. For this reason, it may be correlated to problems that stem from aging. Blood pressure can be bioenergetically affected by this Integrator, although blood pressure regulation is enormously complex at both the physiological and bioenergetic levels, so there are no doubt many Integrators that correlate to pressure regulation problems."- Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "The pump has external plumbing — arteries and veins — that move the blood in and out, and an internal system of its own to keep it nourished. Drugs that block those pipes, or thicken their inner lining, can cause a backup and a blowout; drugs that interfere with the pipes' natural equilibrium processes — the arteries' way of keeping small internal bumps from rupturing and blocking the pipe — can do the same. Such events are called heart attacks, among other things."- Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.) |
 "Other EDS signs, which range from mild to severe, may include very stretchable (lax) skin (see Chapter 9), easy bruising, joint dislocation, scoliosis (see Curved Back, above), eye problems, and ruptured arteries, bowel, or other organs. EDS is potentially debilitating and even life-threatening. But because the signs of EDS can be so subtle, it goes undiagnosed in an estimated 90% of people with the disorder until they seek attention for a medical emergency.
Hypermobile joints are also a sign of Marfan syndrome, another rare connective tissue disorder."- Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "Livedo reticularis is often the first sign of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) (see Dark Stripes, above), a coagulation disorder that can cause a blood clot (thrombosis) in the arteries or veins. These clots raise the risk of seizures, strokes, heart attacks, and pulmonary emboli. Also known as Hughes' syndrome, APS is also a risk factor for recurrent miscarriages. In fact, it's responsible for about 20% of recurrent miscarriages. MOTTLED SKIN (Livedo Reticularis) warning sign People with livedo, whether or not they have APS, are at increased risk of recurrent miscarriages." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "But blue lips may be a sign of Raynaud's disease, a condition in which the small arteries, usually in the fingers and toes but sometimes in other parts of the body, become constricted from the cold or emotional stress. This prevents those body parts from getting enough oxygen and turns them blue. (See Chapters 7 and 9.) Medically known as cyanotic lips, blue lips may also be a red flag that your body isn't getting enough oxygen because of one of several possible respiratory conditions, including pneumonia, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary edema." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) |
| "It overworks the adrenal glands and heart, constricts arteries, and reduces circulation in all parts of the body and acts as a whip to the nervous system. It can be related to numbness of the hands and arms, gum disease, high blood pressure, indigestion, colitis, stomach ulcers, diarrhea, nausea, colds, sore throats, shortness of breath, bronchitis, and many other illnesses. One or two cigarettes per day can block the healing processes in a sick body. Nicotine is such a detriment to healing that at least one doctor I know, Dr. Leo Roy, refused to work with patients who continued to smoke." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
| "In both PAD and Buerger's disease, fatty deposits build up in the arteries and restrict blood circulation to the stomach, kidneys, arms, legs, hands, and feet (atherosclerosis). Other signs include color changes in legs, problems walking, and erectile dysfunction (impotence). As with PAD, Buerger's disease can lead to gangrene and necessitate amputation.
FEELING COLD ALL OVER w

 "Eating three grams of soluble fiber from oats as part of a low-fat and low-cholesterol diet has been shown to lower blood cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), the particles that carry cholesterol into your arteries. In a study in the Australian Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics, researchers found that a substance in oats called beta-glucans significantly reduced LDL ("bad") cholesterol."- David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "The soluble fiber found in oats works like a sponge by going after cholesterol and removing it before it has a chance to clog arteries and lead to heart disease. Home Remedies When oats first arrived on the scene in the American colonies, they were used to cure stomach discomfort and digestive ailments. Oats have also been reported to have antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and stimulant properties and have also been used as a folk remedy for tumors. Externally, for centuries people have taken oat baths to help soothe itchiness, eczema, and other disorders of the skin." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "Watermelon rind offers a natural source of citrulline, an amino acid that promotes nitric oxide production, improving blood flow through arteries. Watermelons are a good source of beta-carotene. Home Remedies Watermelon seed tea has been used as a diuretic and to lower blood pressure. Watermelon rind applied to the skin provides relief from itching caused by poison ivy and poison oak. Throw Me a Lifesaver! COLORECTAL CANCER: A human case-control study conducted in Korea found that men with a high intake of watermelon, along with other fruit, had a lower risk of colorectal cancer." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "In rat models, researchers have found that wild artichoke restored veins and arteries that did not have sufficient flow in them. digestive health: Studies conducted on guinea pigs have found that chemicals in artichokes can stop disturbances in the GI tract. The chemicals halt the intestines from spastic movement. Human studies have also found that artichoke leaf extract can significantly reduce the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and dyspepsia (pain in the mid-abdominal area)." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) |
| "In this case, deposits of fatty deposits block the arteries. Eventually, one of the
plaque sacs ruptures and the blood clotting mechanism begins, forming a blood clot that travels to the heart and blocks the blood flow. Now a heart attack takes place. There are various drugs that are given to ease this condition. But note what the People's Medical Society has to say: "none of the drugs permanently clean up the narrowed areas and make things right again. Instead, they artificially alter the physiological situation and ease the heart's work."365 These artificial methods vary." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
| "Lack of vitamin C can cause weak and brittle arteries and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease because of lowered collagen production.
Collagen and keratin, another fibrous protein, are responsible for the elasticity of skin. The degradation of collagen leads to wrinkles that can be caused by aging or smoking. These wrinkles are partly due to oxidative damage by free radicals. As we age, collagen becomes more highly cross-linked and therefore more rigid. Injected collagen is used in cosmetic surgery, especially to thicken lips." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) |
 "Years ago, scientists figured out that having too much cholesterol in your blood can make the inside of the arteries in your heart clog up. The higher your blood cholesterol, the more likely you are to have arteries clogged so badly that blood cannot get through and you have a heart attack. That is why doctors measure blood cholesterol levels and government programs urge you to have your blood cholesterol checked, to know your cholesterol number, and, if it is too high, to improve your diet or take cholesterol-lowering medications."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
 "In the 1960s, the central market moved from the port to unused land outside the city near major highway arteries and railway tracks. Today, the market is a mere husk. Most of the railway tracks have been paved over and it's now a huge mall full of big box stores like Best Buy, Winners and Costco. Only a few produce wholesalers remain. The market's land has boomed in value, forcing wholesalers to split off and open their own warehouses scattered throughout the city. It's for this reason that there are only a dozen terminal markets left in North America where wholesalers are clustered together."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
| "The Bone Driver Infoceutical, therefore, is designed to help address any field errors that occur in calcium-related diseases, such as calcium deposits in your arteries or organs (such as gallstones). Calcium metabolism is involved in tens of thousands of body processes and so may be involved bioenergetically in a staggering range of health problems in ways that allopathic medicine has yet to identify.
The Bone Driver Infoceutical contains information related to the kidneys, liver, and pancreas because all of these information channels are interconnected." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "The ribs, obviously, form the largest cavity, but there are also the chambers of the heart, the major arteries, the lungs, and the various smaller tubules within the lungs. We know that cavities attract, store, and amplify energy, so the chest is a primary area for Source energy. We know, too, that the heart is a major imprinter of information via the blood circulation to the entire body. So this area, and the related Energetic Integrators, including Integrator 2, have wide-reaching energetic and informational links in the body-field." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Further research needs to be conducted, but in this regard NES's understanding of bioenergetic physiology is at odds with the widely accepted conventional view that cholesterol levels play a major contributory role in narrowing of the arteries. Bioenergetically, Energetic Star 6 correlates to blood flow, and the related Infoceutical may help in this regard. In addition, this Star, as a communication pathway, links to the tissue of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, so it might be implicated bioenergetically in arthritis and other diseases of these tissues." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
