"Considerable scientific research exists that demonstrates the effect of these natural therapies and interventions in lowering cholesterol, improving blood lipid ratios, lowering blood pressure, preventing clots and strokes, inhibiting fibrinogen, lowering homocysteine levels, strengthening the cardiac muscle, and preventing the oxidative damage to vessel walls, all of which are implicated in cardiovascular disease risk." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "A more recent study showed that dietary fiber intake is inversely correlated with several cardiovascular disease risk factors. The highest total dietary fiber and nonsoluble dietary fiber (more than soluble) intakes from fruit, vegetables, and cereals were significantly associated with a decrease in a number of cardiovascular risk factors including overweight, hypertension, lipid markers, and homocysteine.87 Part of fiber's effect on lipids is because these higher fiber diets are in fact diets low in cholesterol intake." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "And more recently, consumption of 15 grams (one drink) to 30 grams (two drinks) of alcohol per day by postmenopausal women was shown to improve lipid profiles and therefore decreased their cardiovascular disease risk.144 Alcohol tends to raise HDL cholesterol, which likely contributes to its cardio-protectiveness. Alcohol also has a beneficial effect on decreasing blood clotting. It is not clear whether there are any significant differences between red wine, white wine, liquor, and beer." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Lipoprotein(a) levels, an independent biomarker of cardiovascular disease risk, have also been reduced with 2 grams per day of L-carnitine, even in those with type 2 diabetes.253 In addition, some preliminary evidence suggests carnitine may be able to attenuate the muscular side effects of statin therapy." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"ApoB levels are a marker for cardiovascular disease risk because ApoB measures small dense LDL particles, which are considered more harmful than normal LDL particles. It's possible that a low-saturated-fat diet also improves bone mineral density. A high-saturated-fat diet was associated with lower hip-bone mineral density in a recent Pennsylvania State University study that analyzed data from NHANES III (the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), including more than 14,000 men and women. The greatest difference was seen in men under 50 years old. Bone mineral density was 4." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"It is clear that all cardiovascular disease risk factors (with the possible exception of diabetes) have declined considerably over the past forty years in all bmi groups (Gregg et al. 2005) to such an extent that obesity (bmi between 25 and 30) is no longer a risk factor (Flegal et al. 2005). We need to rethink the public-health imperative regarding weight loss (Mark 2005) and the validity of the notion that because we weigh more today than in the past (Hedley et al. 2004) we will die sooner." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) CRP is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is a cardiovascular disease risk factor. The C-reactive protein reading indicates a degree of inflammation; it is determined by measuring the amount of a specific protein in the blood. Recent research suggests that patients with elevated levels of CRP are at increased risk for diabetes,17 hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. A study of more than 700 nurses showed that those in the highest quartile of trans fat consumption had blood levels of C-reactive protein that were 73 percent higher than those in the lowest quartile." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Diabetics with renal disease have a cardiovascular disease risk that is sevenfold higher than diabetics without renal disease. Mainly, it is our Culture of Death diet and lifestyle that create cardiovascular disease. This has been proven by Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn of the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Esselstyn's study, published in the Journal of Family Practiced showed the reversal of cardiovascular disease with a 100 percent success rate among eighteen patients who followed a vegan diet with no cooked o*7." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Given that insulin resistance is a major cardiovascular disease risk factor, should all patients with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes be taking a cholesterol-lowering statin drug regardless of their cholesterol level?

"A reduction of some cardiovascular disease risk markers manifested in subjects on raw foods. However, the study emphasizes that raw fooders must make certain to take Vitamin Bi2 supplements, or they may accumulate excess homocysteine, a risk factor in heart disease and a marker for B,2 deficiency. (See Chapter 17.) Additionally, some raw fooders in the experiment had lower amounts of HDL, known as the "good" cholesterol. The study makes mention that there was a high consumption of raw fruits and vegetables, but perhaps the participants were not eating sufficient nuts." - Susan E.

"Curb and colleagues, "Effect of Diuretic-Based Antihypertensive Treatment on cardiovascular disease risk," igg6). The fact that these elderly diabetic and hypertensive patients are so easily and effectively treated argues that they are different from many in the ukpds cohort. I suspect that the Type 2 diabetes in the ukpds cohort is a reflection of the metabolic syndrome, whereas in the elderly the Type 2 diabetes label is a medicalization of the relative insulin resistance of normal aging." - Nortin M. Hadler, The Last Well Person: How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System (Get the book.)

"The above observations may explain why research examining the effect of donating blood on cardiovascular disease risk has yielded conflicting results. While some highly publicized studies have found a lower risk for blood donors, others have not(23-27). Depending on the donor's initial iron status and the frequency of withdrawal, standard blood donation may not consistently lower serum ferritin levels sufficiently to provide any meaningful protection against cardiovascular disease(28)." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "When this goal was achieved, the researchers proceeded to measure the patients' blood glucose control and several other markers of cardiovascular disease risk. The iron depletion procedure significantly reduced blood glucose and insulin responses to oral glucose testing, as well as blood levels of fibrinogen and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc). Also noteworthy is the fact that iron depletion increased HDL cholesterol levels while lowering LDL and total cholesterol levels(19)." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "Beasts of Burden Another potentially confounding factor is the fact that is that it is one's total infectious burden that is the most important determinant of microbe-induced cardiovascular disease risk, not just the presence of any single bacteria or virus. In a representative study, 233 patients at a Washington DC cardiovascular research unit underwent coronary angiography to determine the presence of coronary artery disease, then were tested for a variety of bacterial and viral antibodies." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"CLINICAL TRIALS Cholesterol A Cochrane Database review identified 10 randomized placebo-controlled trials of apparent quality that examined the effect of consumption of wholegrain foods on cardiovascular disease risk factors and related illness and death in adults. A meta-analysis of these 10 trials showed lower total cholesterol (-0.20 mmol/L; p= 0.0001) and LDL cholesterol (0.18 mmol/ L, p<0.0001) resulting from consumption of oatmeal foods." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"The findings suggest that soy protein supplements may offer an uncomplicated method for lowering cardiovascular disease risk (Hoie, 2005). An earlier, randomized, crossover study found that plasma and urinary isoflavone levels markedly increased with regular consumption of whole Soybean extracts in adults (23 men and 10 post-menopausal women). However, no overall differences in plasma lipids, blood pressure, or arterial compliance were identified as compared to the group consuming a control (dairy) diet." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"A double-blind trial showed that a diet high in monounsatutated fatty acids from olive oil, lowers cardiovascular disease risk by 25%, as compared with a 12% decrease from a low-fat (25% fat) diet.93 The trial also found that low-fat diets decrease HDL cholesterol by 4%, which is undesirable, since HDL cholesterol is protective against heart disease. Diets high in monounsaturated fatty acids from olive oil do not adversely affect HDL levels." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc.

"For people wishing to avoid CHD, a trip to the local dentist would likely be the last thing on their mind, but maybe it shouldn't be; researchers have found a consistent link between poor oral health and increased cardiovascular disease risk.

"HRT may increase cardiovascular disease risk after all. On the other hand, HRT did have a beneficial effect on colorectal cancer and bone fracture rate. Among every 10,000 women, there were six fewer colorectal cancers and five fewer bone fractures.57 So how do you make a decision with such information? Just by adding and subtracting the numbers we can see that HRT may well be the cause of more harm than good. We can tell each individual woman to make her own decision depending on which disease and which unpleasantly she fears the most, as many physicians are likely to do." - T.
