"Next to the heading of "Causes of Illness" he put "arteriosclerosis," and in the form of illness section he wrote "arteriosclerotic brain atrophy," but rather tellingly flagged the entry with a question mark. Arteriosclerosis is a chronic disease in which thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls result in impaired blood circulation. It develops with aging, and is associated with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other conditions." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"The diabetic process affects the kidneys in a few ways: glomerulosclerosis, an arteriosclerosis of the entering and leaving renal arteries; arteriosclerosis of the renal artery and its interrenal branches; and deposits of glycogen, fat, and glycopolysaccharides around the tubules. Early on, nephropathy has no symptoms, but as it advances we see edema (swelling, particularly around the eyes), nausea, fatigue, headache, and generalized itching. This also has the potential to be slowly reversed on this program. The following table summarizes the complications associated with diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"You have a history of arteriosclerosis and fear you may be in for more heart troubles. On the advice of your Homeopath, you take four pellets of Abies Nigra 6 CH a few times a day. After one month you feel much better but feel a pressure in your stomach after eating. The palpitations are gone.

"As mentioned earlier, atherosclerosis is the most common type of arteriosclerosis, a general term for several diseases characterized by thickening and hardening of the arteries.) Some of the dysfunction is related to aging; with the passing years, the endothelial cells are less able to renew themselves, and the barrier layer weakens." - Steven V.

"One of many arteriosclerosis diseases in which fat builds up in the large and medium-size arteries. autoimmune process—A process by which the body's immune system attacks and destroys body tissue that it mistakes for foreign matter. beta cells—Cells that make the hormone insulin, which controls blood glucose levels. Beta cells are found in areas of the pancreas called the Islets of Langerhans. bladder—A hollow organ that urine drains into from the kidneys. From the bladder, urine leaves the body. blood glucose—The main sugar that the body makes from the food we eat." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The weight of evidence now suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation and its effect on blood vessels are actually what cause arteriosclerosis (coronary heart disease). Furthermore, diet and fat cells are the sources of this inflammation, and clear links between inflammation and low vitamin D levels have been shown. Saturated fat from foods such as cheese and processed meats increase the production of inflammatory substances. Fat cells are biologically active; they don't just store energy, they produce hormones and molecules that affect metabolism and promote inflammation." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Moreover, when considering the free-radical oxidation mechanism in arteriosclerosis, a decline in coenzyme Qio reserves may also adversely affect the course of the disease despite optimal reduction of LDL cholesterol. Certainly, the adverse metabolic effects of these drugs require further investigation. Acetyl CoA ! HMG-CoA | ?

"Poor circulation can result from a variety of conditions (varicose veins, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, diabetes) and can contribute to severe health issues, such as hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and gangrene. Therapeutic considerations for poor or restricted blood circulation should include daily exercise and using enzymes to support the digestive system and optimize the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Optimizing blood flow and maintaining the integrity of the cardiovascular system are essential, and enzyme therapy can support these goals." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Abdominal hernias, arteriosclerosis, and lithiasis (stones, as in kidney stones) may be associated bioenetgetically with Integrator 3 distortions, although lithiasis would also likely correlate to Integrator 5. The bioenergetic emotional components of Energetic Integrator 3 distortions are mostly involved with mental agility and concentration, or the lack of them. Short-term memory problems—as in difficulty holding a thought—and learning disabilities, especially in children, appear to have correlations to Integrator 3." - Peter h.

"Heart Problems A narrowing of the arteries as a result of deposits of minerals or fat, respectively called arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, causes most of the heart problems that lead to heart attacks. These problems are diet related, and along with genetic predisposition and stress, they comprise the major causes of heart disease. Bypassing the Bypass Operation The present-day medical treatment for occluded arteries is a bypass operation. However, there is a natural remedy which has been reported by many to be very effective for clearing arteries." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The problem is that both doctors and their patients are unwilling to consider that pressure of any kind can lead to coronary arteriosclerosis because they do not believe that the brain can induce physical pathology. (Freud didn't believe it either.) They are unaware that pressure generates rage in the unconscious and that deep-seated rage can contribute to physiologic alteration—including coronary arteriosclerosis. Indeed, rage may be the major factor in its genesis. They are unaware that the enraged unconscious reaction to pressure is very different from the conscious reaction." - John E.

"Red wine offers an extra bonus in that it contains artery-scrubbing polyphenols that may help fight arteriosclerosis. For an extra antioxidant bump, choose a Sardinian Can-nonau. Beware, however, of the toxic effects of alcohol on the liver, brain, and other organs—along with increased risk of accidents—when daily consumption exceeds a glass or two. In that case, the risks of drinking can outweigh any health benefits. A friend recently asked me if he could save up all week and drink 14 glasses of wine on Saturday night. The answer is no." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"The metabolism of proteins consumed in excess of the actual need leaves toxic residues of metabolic waste in tissues, causes autotoxemia, overacidity and nutritional deficiencies, accumulation of uric acid and purines in the tissues, intestinal putrefaction, and contributes to the development of many of our most common and serious diseases, such as arthritis, kidney damage, pyorrhea, schizophrenia, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and cancer. A high protein diet also causes premature aging and lowers life expectancy." Dr." - Susan E.

"Rabbit lesions resemble those of early stage human arteriosclerosis, but they do not develop more advanced types of plaques. The distribution pattern of these lesions also differs considerably from humans, occurring at locations in the aorta that are uncharacteristic of human arteriosclerosis. Perhaps most telling of all is the fact that when rabbits are force-fed cholesterol and fat-rich animal foods, their blood cholesterol values skyrocket to astronomical levels, far higher than those ever seen in human beings." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"And yet, in a study of 3,000 of these people, not one of them had high cholesterol, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, or high blood pressure. And only one of the 3,000 was even slightly overweight. Now don't get me wrong, I am not advocating that you live on seal blubber like the Eskimos and raw meat like the Pottenger cats. But, can there be any doubt in your mind that live enzymes in your diet make a dramatic difference in your overall health and longevity?

"If you live in a developed country like America and are middle-aged or older, you are most likely to have arteriosclerosis, and the angiogram will show a narrowing. It won't take much convincing to tell you that you need a stent. "It's this train where you can't get off at any station along the way," Dr. Topol said. "Once you get on the train, you're getting the stents. Once you get in the cath lab, it's pretty likely that something will get done." Dr. Hillis believes the American psyche is convinced that the worth of medical care is directly related to its aggressiveness." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Storage of protein in the blood vessel walls, on the other hand, is the common factor in all patients who suffer from alimentary (food-caused) arteriosclerosis. Since most people in the industrialized nations have consistently been consuming excessively large quantities of protein, particularly since World War II, coronary heart disease has become a leading cause of death in the developed world." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "All this can effectively reverse arteriosclerosis and prevent a heart attack or stroke. Balancing Cholesterol Levels Naturally Apart from the above methods, a number of herbal substances and foods have powerful cleansing effects on the blood vessels and lymphatic ducts. When ingested regularly, they naturally balance blood cholesterol concentrations to their appropriate levels for the body to function optimally. Take, for example, the extract from a common Indian tree known as the mukul myrrh or guggul. Guggul is no strange medicine in India." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

[British J Radiology 72: 3-8, 1999] This spontaneous resolution of calcifications in breast tissue could indicate a rise or resumption in estrogen production and thus a signal for tumors to grow." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"INDICATIONS Preparations of Bladderwrack are used for disease of the thyroid, obesity, overweight, arteriosclerosis and digestive disorders. The effectiveness for the claimed applications is not verified.
