Heart Disease, America's No. 1 Killer
Surgery for the treatment of Heart Disease is coming to an end! Cardiologists are not ready for This New Information.
paradigm shift than Helicobacter Pylori was for ulcers. You cannot see the Vulnerable Plaque that leads to the death of 85% of Heart attack and stroke patients on arteriograms, so the time has come to treat the bloodstream and stop attacking the blood vessel! The American college of Cardiology, The American College of Physician's and The American Heart Associations' new guidelines (Circulation 5-1-99) for chronic chest pain are desperately attempting to maintain status quo, entirely ignoring the now proven involvement of inflammation in heart attacks and strokes. They not only ignored the New England Journal of medicine review article volume 340 1999 on Inflammation and Arteriosclerosis, but they also ignored the just released American Heart Associations' own monograph series Edited by their President, Valentin Fuster MD, PhD Cardiologist at Mount Sinai in New York City. Anyone reading this 429 page book, "The Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque:" will readily conclude that meaningful prevention of heart attacks and strokes requires medical control of the inflammation and infection aspects now being entirely ignored in the rush to operate on the patient! Medical control of these newly recognized risk factors will without question do far more than any surgical procedure to prevent heart
attacks and strokes! plaque. Research indicates that this unstable plaque can not be identified on an arteriogram! Therefore, what the doctor does NOT see is the very thing that leads to the blood clot that leads to the heart attack or stroke. It is now well documented that all obstructing plaque that can be seen, can be reversed with diet, exercise, and meditation programs such as Dr Ornish has developed. Now we learn that these visible lesions that have caused doctors to recommend so many needless bypass and other invasive surgical procedures for heart disease are not the ones that are involved in 85% of all heart attacks! That explains why we have not found a really significant reduction in heart attacks or deaths in surgically operated patients. It is
clear that we have been operating needlessly on the wrong plaque! in cases of sudden death from heart attacks suggests that all current surgically based approaches to heart disease are as misguided as removing your lung if you
have pneumonia! We need to focus on the blood and not the blood vessel!
surfaced so rapidly in the past several years. These include efforts to see the dangerous Vulnerable Plaque noninvasively with a high speed MRI and other diagnostic techniques that are now being developed. These instruments are not yet found in local hospitals, but may help to end the current excessive reliance on surgical treatment of vascular disease in the future. Although the popular high speed CAT scan provides useful information regarding the calcium content of the artery, it is not capable of measuring the really dangerous vulnerable plaque. Therefore, let these tests motivate patients to address their risk factors, such as antibodies to oxidized cholesterol, C-reactive protein levels etc., so that they medically treat the problem - regularly, ideally for the rest of their life! A bad score on this test should motivate you to carefully follow the advice
contained in this article and follow up later with a retest. published in Circulation, Vol. 5-99, 1999, and in a review article published in NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine), Vol. 340, 1999. Further validation was added by the recent report published in JAMA showing that up to 55% of heart attacks appear to be prevented by treatment with proper antibiotics. In addition, evidence published in Science, February 1999, implicates an infectious bacteria known as chlamydia, while CMV and Herpes (common retroviruses) have also been shown to be closely connected with heart attacks. Chlamydia is a disease to which up to 95% of us is exposed during our lives and once it enters our body,

The Vulnerable plaque appears to be as much as 4-5 Degrees C hotter, thus explaining the success seen with Oxidant therapies such as Ozone, UVB, or H2O2 IV, and/or antibiotics in treating angina. While these new parameters are more important by far than current outdated risk factor information, we still have to improve our diet and life style, exercise, and maintain a healthy immune system by taking long- term oral Chelating and other detoxifying supplements, as well as SAFE anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant,
anti-thrombotic, lipid-lowering, natural supplement therapies.

9 pill packets of Beyond Chelation combined with 3 to 5 Wobenzym N twice daily are conveniently addressing all of the newly recognized molecular mechanisms of heart disease -- from controlling Homocysteine and elevated cholesterol or triglycerides, to lowering C-reactive protein, which is clearly becoming one of
the most significant tests in cardiology! This may be true, but should be a temporary emergency measure only. We know from statistics, however, that the great majority of us must take some long-term anti-clotting protection against the massive blood clots that we now believe are involved in lethal heart attacks. In fact, researchers are finding that long term use of anti-inflammatory drugs are a major factor in helping to prevent not just Alzheimer's disease, but heart attacks and strokes as well! The problem is that although there are now proven benefits from taking a daily dose of aspirin and/or other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), we pay dearly for these benefits with over 16 thousand deaths and over 125 thousand hospitalizations annually, generally related to internal bleeding, although liver and kidney damage are also a far
too common side effect.) an oral vaccination, Transfer Factor. This exciting therapy helps us deal with the infection aspect of vascular disease by helping to control serious chronic viral and other infections now being implicated in heart attack and stroke. Transfer Factor may improve resistance to Herpes, CMV, Chlamydia, and Helicobacter (often coming from chronic dental problems). Until such time as science identifies the proper vaccination or anti-infective therapies to cure these infections, it seems advisable for all of us to try a Transfer Factor type of product and also regularlyconsume a safe affordable anti-inflammatory like Wobenzym, which is well documented to have no side effects
yet have many far reaching benefits -- benefits such as:

minimum of 30%, Offering protection against infections and injuries, and
Wobenzym: all-natural combination Enzyme-Bioflavonoid product. (The rutin component appears to be an ideal Iron Chelator!) With it, we get all the benefits of anti-inflammatory medication without the high incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding associated with the use of aspirin and the many other documented side effects known to develop after the longterm use of NSAIDs and other standard anti-inflammatory medications. Over 100 Million People Have Used Wobenzym in a 30-year Period. During �That Time, No Detrimental
Side Effects Have Been Reported from Its Use. is now widely available in the United States at a time when there is a greater need than ever before to include it in our nutritional defense program. Unlike most enzymes on the market, this enzyme is specially designed so that it is not used to digest food but is used internally, inside the bloodstream, beneficially affecting many of the factors that are now known to lead to the development of serious diseases. These factors
range from:

(Note: Wobenzym alone has been shown more effective in treating Herpes than the standard anti-viral drugs now available, and, when combined
with the Transfer Factor related, products, it is even more effective!);

finally beginning to be accepted as significant in determining and controlling all of the newer recognized cardiovascular risk factors. If your doctor could keep up with current published literature, some of the tests he would prescribe for you would not be just cholesterol even with its subsets of HDL, LDL, but the newer LPA and the latest oxidized cholesterol antibody test. Furthermore, adhesion molecules such as VCAM and ICAM that measure how sticky things are can now be measured at the molecular level. These are vascular and intercellular adhesion molecules that have been implicated in the impaired circulation of the tiny vessels (capillaries) that eventually lead to heart attacks, strokes and loss of vision with such common conditions as macular degeneration
and glaucoma. other markers of free radical damage. Furthermore, he can monitor the level of activity (antibodies) to the various infectious agents now implicated in arteriosclerosis, such as chlamydia, CMV (Cytomegalovirus), Herpes, etc. Since virtually all of us test positive for these infectious agents, I routinely now recommend the use of Immune enhancing nutrients including Transfer Factor related compounds, Aloe Vera, Beta Glucan, etc. however I also refer some seriously ill and/or immune compromised patients for oxidative
therapies such as IV Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and/or the use of
antibiotics. This leads to the bloodclots that we now recognize as the immediate cause of death in any heart attacks and strokes! Homocysteine (Note: This test may not be accurate if done using a serum separator tube. It also is more sensitive if a load such as 1.5 gm of methionine is taken orally 4 hours before in order to help identify the approximately 30% of us who are
found to have this dangerous and (now) common but still generally
unrecognized problem. because so many of us have mistakenly been taking vitamin and mineral supplements containing iron. Having elevated iron levels is as dangerous as having elevated lead. This
iron overload is contributing to our already heavy metal poisoned
bodies. blood type testing, food allergy tests, these and many other tests are all useful in helping optimize our lifestyle and dietary program. Fatty acid analysis (on red blood cell membranes) and amino acid testing on urine or blood are all part of the extremely useful battery of tests that assists the properly trained health professional to individualize the optimal nutritional
and life extension support programs for patients. Fortunately, most of the abnormalities that we uncover can be greatly helped with the ardiovascular nutritional support products BC (Beyond Chelation) Wobenzym and nutritionally based immune enhancing supplements. Note: Everything works better when taken along with appropriate diet and life style changes! Note: Many of these tests are available through specially licensed laboratories in the United States such as Immunosciences, Beverly Hills CA, Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab Asheville NC.,

Time for a New Multi-Vitamin: A Cardio-Support Multi-Vitamin.
to detoxify our bloodstream and protect our cardiovascular systems, as well as the well documented need for a long term use of a safe anti-inflammatory, and the need to reduce heavy metals from our tissues and organs, the time has arrived for us to broaden our approach to optimal health with more comprehensive nutritionally balanced supplements. These supplements must not only remove excessive levels of metallic and other toxins, but simultaneously increase the levels of the nutrients that we now provably need if we are to win the fight against the multiple metabolic/environmental/infectious contributory causes of degenerative diseases, dementia, heart attacks, and strokes and aging. The time is
ripe to introduce my special Beyond Chelation formula to the American
people. American Heart Association and other health authorities that we have only made a small dent in the number of deaths from stroke and heart attack. Their recommendations have ead to entirely unhealthy dietary practices, along with using the extremely ill advised cholesterol lowering drugs so commonly prescribed today. Cholesterol, unless it is oxidized, is a valuable nutrient which your body has to manufacture every day in order to help build the membranes of the new cells that we must form continually to replace the dead and dying cells in our body. We find elevated antibodies to so many forms of chronic infection in virtually all of us today. This strongly suggests that our immune systems are seriously weakened, partially as a result of the heavy metals and other toxins we ingest from our
polluted environments as well as our stressful and nutritionally
deficient lifestyles.

Nevertheless, based on my 40 years of clinical experience during the last 10 years of which I did not have to send a single patient for bypass or angioplasty surgery no matter how advanced their blockages were, I now believe that most degenerative and cardiovascular diseases can be improved and often nearly totally reversed with the special supplements described here combined
with the dietary and lifestyle recommendations that I have prescribed
for my patients. exercise, meditation, and dietary change have continued to improve over the years. He has show that all arteriosclerosis is absolutely reversible. Why take the chance of dying or sustaining serious injury, pain, or brain damage associated with most vascular surgical procedures today, particularly when more and more experts are saying that surgery is not dealing with the cause of heart attacks or strokes. We must focus on the bloodstream and not the blood vessel. Current official guidelines have not substantially prevented
ardiovascular related deaths from stroke and heart attacks. Vulnerable Plaque Dr. Valentin Fuster, a cardiologist, MD, Ph.D., at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and President of the American Heart Association, has stated on November 8th, 1999, that arteries containing (vulnerable) plaque can now be identified by a high technology, super-fast, entirely painless, safe imaging MRI scanner. When this fragile clot ruptures, it leads to the formation of massive blood clots that suddenly cut off the supply of oxygen rich blood to the heart and/or brain, resulting in heart attack or stroke respectively. Only by our new knowledge regarding vulnerable plaque can we now comprehend why some people with little or no apparent blockage can have a heart attack while others with almost completely blocked arteries may live for decades often
without any of the symptoms of cardiovascular disease. collateral circulation to go around the blocked area. The person may not even know that a significant artery in their body gradually closed off, because it was safely and reliably replaced by tiny new blood vessels, blood vessels that are not visible on the usual arteriogram studies in hospitals. These entirely inadequate and grossly misleading x-rays have led to so many needless bypass and angioplasty procedures. It is, of course, important to stabilize the fragile vulnerable plaque lesions and experts are hoping that lipid lowering approaches will show some benefits here, so I have included the powerful proven lipid lowering and detoxifying power or Red Yeast and Beta-Sitosterol in the Beyond Chelation Formula.
