Description
Cardiovascular Disease is a generic term for many disorders of the Cardiovascular (circulatory) System including the Heart.
Prevalence
Cardiovascular Diseases are the leading cause of death world-wide - they are estimated to be responsible for 50% of all deaths.
Substances that Prevent/Treat Cardiovascular Diseases
Alcohols
Regular consumption of SMALL quantities of Alcohol (ethanol) decreases the risk of Cardiovascular Diseases:
- Caution: excessive consumption of Alcoholic Beverages INCREASES the risk of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Amino Acids
Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetate (EDTA) - the synthetic Amino Acid used in Chelation Therapy - helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Enzymes
Bromelain helps to prevent and treat Cardiovascular Diseases (by inhibiting Fibrinogen that is implicated in the abnormal Blood Clotting that is implicated in most types of Cardiovascular Diseases).
Hormones
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) reduces the mortality rate from Cardiovascular Diseases (after its conversion to Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEAS)).
Progesterone helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases (due to its ability to minimize risk factors for Cardiovascular Diseases such as elevated LDL Cholesterol, lowered HDL Cholesterol and elevated Triglycerides levels).
Thyroid Hormones help to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases and are involved in the preservation of Cardiovascular function:
- Thyroxine (T4) helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases.
- Triiodothyronine (T3) helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Lipids
Superunsaturated Fatty Acids help to prevent many Cardiovascular Diseases.
Minerals
Chromium deficiency is an underlying cause of some Cardiovascular Diseases.
Magnesium prevents and treats most types of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Selenium helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Polyphenols
Quercetin helps to protect against Cardiovascular Diseases.
Proteins
High serum Albumin levels help to prevent Cardiovascular Diseases:
- People with serum Albumin levels above 4.5 grams/dl have a reduced risk of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Quinones
A large proportion (approximately 62%) of Cardiovascular Disease patients are found to be deficient in Coenzyme Q10 and correcting this deficiency (by the use of supplemental Coenzyme Q10 is highly effective in many Cardiovascular Disease patients).
Vitamins
Folic Acid helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases (by lowering elevated Homocysteine levels - excessive Homocysteine is a risk factor for many Cardiovascular Diseases).
Vitamin B6 helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases (by lowering elevated Homocysteine levels - excessive Homocysteine is a risk factor for many Cardiovascular Diseases).
Vitamin B12 (400 - 1,000 mcg per day) helps to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases (by lowering elevated Homocysteine levels - excessive Homocysteine is a risk factor for many Cardiovascular Diseases).
Vitamin C helps to prevent many forms of Cardiovascular Disease.
Vitamin E helps to prevent many forms of Cardiovascular Disease.
Water
People who live in areas with Hard Water have a lower mortality rate from Cardiovascular Diseases than those in areas with Soft Water.
Herbs/Foods that Prevent Cardiovascular Diseases
Herbs
Hawthorn prevents and treats many Cardiovascular Diseases.
Oils
Fish Oils help to prevent many types of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Other Factors that Prevent Cardiovascular Diseases
Exercise
Regular Exercise helps to prevent various Cardiovascular Diseases.
Substances that can Cause Cardiovascular Diseases
Adhesive Repair Proteins
Excessive production of Apoprotein (a) (Apo (a)) is strongly implicated in many types of Cardiovascular Diseases:
- It appears that Apo (a) is actually responsible for many Cardiovascular Diseases that were previously attributed to Cholesterol and Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL).
Excessive production of Fibrinogen increases the risk for Cardiovascular Diseases.
Amino Acids
Homocysteine is strongly implicated in Cardiovascular Diseases.
Carbohydrates
Excessive consumption of Fructose increases the risk of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Minerals
Excessive Iron increases the risk of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Recreational Drugs
Excessive consumption of Alcohol increases the risk for Cardiovascular Diseases.
Water
People who live in areas with Soft Water have a higher mortality rate from Cardiovascular Diseases than those in areas with Hard Water (due to Soft Water being incapable of dissolving those Toxic Minerals that have been implicated in CVDs).
People who are Afflicted with Cardiovascular Diseases should not Consume these Substances
Alkaloids
Cardiovascular Disease patients should not consume Ephedrine.
Cardiovascular Disease patients should not consume Yohimbine.
People who are Afflicted with Cardiovascular Diseases should not Consume these Herbs
People who are already afflicted with any of the Cardiovascular Disease should not consume Yohimbe (due to its Yohimbine content).
Cardiovascular Diseases are Associated with these Ailments
Metabolism
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients have an increased risk of developing Cardiovascular Diseases (primarily due to Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients having elevated levels of Homocysteine - a proven underlying cause of many Cardiovascular Diseases).
Hypothyroidism increases the risk of some Cardiovascular Diseases (Hypothyroidism patients generally exhibit elevated LDL Cholesterol and Lipoprotein (a) levels).
Hypoxia is speculated to be an underlying cause of many Cardiovascular Diseases.
Obesity increases the risk for all Cardiovascular Diseases.
Musculoskeletal System
Cardiovascular Diseases often occur in conjunction with Muscular Dystrophy.
Myths Dispelled
Eggs
Despite its high Cholesterol content, statistics exonerate the Egg from the blame for Cardiovascular Disease (including Strokes).
Types of Cardiovascular Diseases
Angina
Arrhythmias
Atherosclerosis
Blood Clotting Ailments
Blood Vessels Ailments
Cardiomyopathy
Embolism
Hypertension
Intermittent Claudication
Ischemic Heart Disease

Comments |
| Oral ChelatoRx - 240 Caps |
4 to 5 capsules twice a day between meals on an empty stomach |
Helps support a healthy cardiovascular system by helping remove calcium build-up in arteries, flushing heavy metals from body, stimulating mineral metabolism, and increasing mitochondrial activity. Can be taken with meals if stomach upset occurs. May be used in addition to I.V. chelation therapy (if it is necessary and available). If one is also taking supplemental minerals, take Oral ChelatoRx at different time intervals. |
| CardioCare - 120 Caps |
3-6 capsules per day |
The synergistic ingredients may improve cardiovascular function by: Improving coronary blood flow; Decreasing risk of thrombosis; Increasing arterial vasodilation; Increasing myocardial bioenergetics; & Decreasing serum lipids and lipid oxidation |
| Advanced Essential Minerals - 180 Caps |
2 capsules 2 times per day |
|
| E-Team - 60 Caps |
1 - 2 capsules daily |
|
| Turmeric Extract, 150 mg 120 Caps |
