MD Cause: Unknown

MD Rx: Statin drugs to lower cholesterol.

ND Cause: This is a subject of debate. Some people think that this condition is due toa combination of factors: chlorine in the water, inflammation, infections, low levels of Sulphur, or to stress which makes the body overly acidic. The consumption of Trans-Fats[1] and the presence of Chlorine in the water are VERY LIKELY candidates regardless of any of the other factors, so I advocate the complete avoidance of all Trans-Fats and all water that has been chlorinated. Because nobody knows the exact cause here, my recommendation is to cover as many of the theoretical bases as I can with treatment. Therefore, we give healthy doses of anti-inflammatory herbs and minerals. We give adequate doses of Sulphur. We support the alkalinity of the blood by giving the 90 EN appropriate for body weight. Then we keep our fingers crossed.

Discussion: The history of atherosclerosis and its treatment in this country reads like a bad “B-Movie.” Time magazine did a remarkably good expose’ of this in June of 2016. The title on the cover: “Eat Butter.” Naturopathic physicians have been telling patients for decades to eat butter and to avoid margarine and other Trans-Fats, but nobody paid any attention. The American Heart Association, in cahoots with Proctor & Gamble (the manufacturers of Crisco – the King of Trans-Fats) told a trusting population to STOP eating butter and to replace it with Crisco. Thus, was born the Heart-Disease epidemic – and nobody went to jail. This article in Time is must-read. There are 2 other books[2] which I recommend you pick up if you want to know more about the REAL relationship between Cholesterol and heart-disease.

It is amazing to me that when So Much Blatant Corruption inside of conventional medicine is exposed nobody gets alarmed, nobody goes to jail, and everybody continues to hold the medical profession that was to blame in high regard. If it was the Chiropractors that had made that deal with Proctor & Gamble, once the Truth had been uncovered the entire profession would have been outlawed. But when the MDs do it – they get a pass…
