Cholesterol – The Essential Steroid

Joe Barton, medical researcher, says it like it is, regarding cholesterol:

No matter how shocking the truth is, you deserve to know.

Many people are unaware that they’re unaware . . . and I’m sure you’ll agree that it is better to be aware than being unaware.

The beginning of wisdom is admitting you don’t know. Then from there you can learn about the truth of the matter. Follow me?

Billions of people are being kept in the dark about the truth concerning their health these days. YOU have a right to know. Hiding the facts from you with double-talk and complex medical mumble-jumble only shows an underlying contempt for a real solution.

The subject is CHOLESTEROL and 9 out of 10 people I’ve spoken with are completely confused about it. They just don’t understand what the fuss is all about. They know they don’t know what to do about their cholesterol levels.

Well let me shine some light on the subject of cholesterol. First of all, the more confused you are about the facts of cholesterol, the easier it is for Big Pharma to influence your choices.

Let me put it another way, the less you know about cholesterol and your health the more likely you will make an EMOTIONAL decision concerning cholesterol drugs. I’m sure you agree that making emotional decisions concerning your health isn’t a good idea.

Big Pharma spends billions of advertising dollars (many of them tax free) to influence your decisions as a drug user/consumer. They realize the less you know about cholesterol, or any other health related issue, the more fear will be a factor in your final decision to take their drugs, and the more they will sell.

FACT: You don’t HAVE to be a victim, and you do indeed have more power to maintain your health, wellness and longevity than you have been led to believe.

Your cholesterol is a nutrient that plays a vital role in your body’s cellular metabolism. Cholesterol is a type of steroid used in central and peripheral nervous system function, in vitamin D formation, and in the formation of sex and adrenal hormones, as well as liver and bile salts. It is not a fluke of Mama Nature to be chemically eliminated with drugs.

Eliminating your cholesterol production would be like eliminating saliva production to prevent drooling, or eliminating tears to prevent crying, or eliminating mucus to prevent a runny nose.

The bottom line is that cholesterol plays a major role as a liquid bandage inside your body, and if you are concerned about how to keep a natural healthy balance of your cholesterol – without drugs – then the Cholesterol Secrets Remedy Report is for you.

Learn exactly how to STOP high blood pressure & cholesterol with no worry, no wasted money, no pain, and no harmful drugs. Eliminate your risk of a heart attack and/or stroke in just a few short days by using our step-by-step natural home remedy outlined in the Cholesterol Secrets Remedy Report, published by Joe Barton, medical researcher.

THE GREAT CHOLESTEROL LIE:  Why Inflammation Kills And The Real Cure For Heart Disease

Dr. Dwight Lundell’s experience in Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery over the last 25 years performing 5,000 open-heart surgeries has motivated him to publish a book that has spread across the US and 17 other countries.

"The Great Cholesterol Lie" by thoracic surgeon, Dr. Dwight Lundell is undoubtedly one of the most timely and critically important books written about cholesterol, heart disease and inflammation since the cholesterol theory began over 60 years ago. He reveals why the cholesterol theory is scientifically and fatally flawed and why inflammation is the real cause of heart disease.

It is about heart disease and inflammation running amok throughout your body from dietary recommendations born of the theory of no fat, low-fat foods causing an epidemic of heart disease and inflammation. 

Science now knows that inflammation is linked to obesity from the very foods created from this theory that were supposed to make us slim and trim.

Dr. Lundell holds nothing back and fully discloses in his book a health message that is so critically important and so long overdue.  It is filled with a straight forward plan that ends constant fearful worry about how you can heal your heart and health and do so naturally, without statin medications.

Dr. Lundell, while being a highly respected, renowned physician amongest the most prestigious, reveals his love for medicine and his chosen specialty, the heart; his anger at the medical community, pharmaceutical industry, and all he saw in 25 years performing 5,000 open-heart surgeries.

Heart Disease Risk Factor - Inflammation

Remember the last time you scraped your knee? As it healed, it grew red and warm, sometimes leaking pus. That was inflammation at work. Whenever there’s an injury to any part of your body, the flow of blood increases as white blood cells rush to the area like rescue workers responding to a train wreck. Ironically, this very process can also damage tissue.

What does inflammation have to do with heart disease? As it turns out, plenty. When the lining of the artery is damaged — say, when LDL particles burrow into the artery wall — white blood cells flock to the site, resulting in inflammation. Thus, more LDL equals more inflammation. Inflammation not only further damages the artery walls, leaving them stiffer and more prone to plaque buildup, but it also makes any plaque that’s already there more fragile and more likely to burst. Other factors that damage the artery wall and trigger inflammation include smoking, high blood pressure, and even germs.

How do you know if your arteries are inflamed? By testing your level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is produced in the liver whenever inflammation occurs. If your arteries are under attack, your CRP level rises. An estimated 25 million to 35 million healthy middle-aged Americans with normal cholesterol have CRP levels that put them at higher risk of heart attack and stroke.

In a landmark study on CRP and heart disease, researchers at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital measured CRP levels in 1,086 apparently healthy men. They followed the men over the next eight years, tracking heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots. The result: The risk of a first heart attack rose fivefold when both cholesterol and CRP were high.

Researchers involved in the Harvard Women’s Health Study reported similar results, noting that women with the highest levels of CRP had a sevenfold increase in risk of heart attack or stroke. Even if they didn’t smoke, had normal cholesterol levels, and had no family history of heart disease, the women with high CRP were still more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. And a study published in late 2002 found that women with high CRP were twice as likely to die from a heart attack or stroke as those with high cholesterol.

It’s important to note that these studies involved healthy people. For those with a known cause of inflammation — such as rheumatoid arthritis or an active infection — CRP may not be a reliable indication of heart disease risk.

CRP may function as a marker of inflammation in the blood vessels, but it also can play a direct role in damaging the arteries by interfering with an enzyme involved in nitric oxide production. As you learned earlier, less nitric oxide means artery walls that attract more plaque-forming gunk. CRP also seems to be a marker for metabolic syndrome, another risk factor.

Another marker of inflammation is a molecule called interleukin-18 (IL-18). A four-year German study on patients with coronary heart disease found that those with high levels of this molecule were three times as likely to die from heart disease as those with low levels. Earlier studies had linked high levels of IL-18 to quicker buildup of plaque and more unstable plaque. The results are still preliminary, researchers warn, and the test for IL-18 is too complex for the typical doctor’s office.

Still, given the evidence on CRP and IL-18, doctors now suspect that inflammation plays such a powerful role in heart disease that it trumps even high cholesterol as a risk factor — although you can’t treat one and ignore the other, because they are linked. LDL increases inflammation, and inflammation generates free radicals, which oxidize the LDL particles and accelerate the formation of plaque. Many of the same factors that increase inflammation — such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome — also increase cholesterol.

The Cholesterol Theory – A Tragedy To Health

We have done a disservice to the American people and it is time to right the wrong.  Let me begin by saying quite emphatically based on scientific fact cholesterol does not cause heart disease.

The theory began in 1948 with the Framingham Study, a study that was responsible for good information until 1961 when those early researchers focused on cholesterol and tunnel vision set in.  From then on, cholesterol was deemed evil rather than the vital substance it is to life.

Over the course of 25 years and 5,000 heart surgeries, I’d often look at a patient on my table and wonder why he (or she) was there.  His cholesterol was in check, he was not obese, did not smoke and in fact, had none of the typical risk factors associated with heart disease.

I repaired his heart knowing well statistics were high he would be back for surgery again within 10 years with his cholesterol still in check.

Over 25% of the population takes statin medications.  Now there’s a feverish rush to prescribe statin medication preventatively to otherwise healthy people.  If statins prevented heart disease, why has heart disease soared year after year and is the number one taker of human life?

Just that fact alone should have everyone questioning the validity of the cholesterol theory and taking statin medications.  Cholesterol does not cause heart disease–inflammation in the arteries does.  What is inflammation and where is it coming from?

The answer to that question is both tragic and sad.  The very dietary recommendations born of the cholesterol theory of no-fat and low fat foods cause inflammation.  Polyunsaturated Omega-6 oils; packaged and processed foods created for shelf life and not long life; sugars and simple carbohydrates create inflammation.  This is the cause of an epidemic of heart disease, obesity and other chronic illnesses.

Do you have unhealthy levels of inflammation?  If you have been eating the typical American diet with the typical American lifestyle, more than likely yes.  A simple C - reactive protein test will determine the level of inflammation in your body.

The good news is, inflammation is treatable naturally.  To learn how, simply go to Dr. Lundell’s website or obtain his e-book:: THE GREAT CHOLESTEROL LIE: Why Inflammation Kills And The Real Cure For Heart Disease.
