Nutritional Atherosclerosis Control Vs. Standard Medical Approach All "cut or medicate" treatments carry with them the possible risks, the side effects and after effects, and the serious costs (in effort, time and money). For example, in the vast majority of cases, bypass - quite an amazing piece of surgery! - is a classic example of traditional medicine being: too much too late and not treating the cause of the problem. Too many people die or end up in a nursing home due to complications from this procedure. In fact, far fewer people benefit from it than originally thought. The surgeon only repairs about two inches of the diseased blood vessels, usually recommending drugs to lower cholesterol and, eventually, sending you to a dietician, who is equally clueless. Among the drugs prescribed, cholesterol-lowering (statin) drugs are known for their disappointing results. Instead of washing the fatty plaques off the walls, as expected, these drugs create problems. On the other hand, even people at risk, or with diseased arteries, are reluctant to change their lifestyle and eating habits! "It's not so easy!" - they cry. Well, old habits die hard - so do we! Far Less Scepticism However, today, far less scepticism exists in medical circles about the atherosclerosis prevention and control offered by nutrition than a few years ago. The conventional medical establishment has long ridiculed nutritional supplementation, but for the first time, a 1998 editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine encouraged the use of nutritional supplements to reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease. Although continuing research is proving the nutritional approach right, medical establishments still regard the nutritional approach to atherosclerosis as "controversial." That's another way of saying "not completely verified." Whether one should recommend nutritional measures to control atherosclerosis - for which there is strong evidence that they do indeed work, but which are not 100 per cent verified - will evoke different opinions from medical establishments. The Nutritional Advantage Fortunately, there are people, including a growing number of doctors, who admit that there are successful methods to halt the progression of atherosclerosis and reduce buildup of atheromatous plaques, other than temporary medical or surgical intervention. There are also people - with or without diseased arteries - who are willing to trade their lifestyle habits for healthy arteries and a healthy old age; people who are making serious efforts to give their heart and cardiovascular system a longer, healthier life. The nutritional approach to atherosclerosis, going far beyond the standard "cut or medicate" treatments, helps improve and/or restore the entire circulation in the body. Without improving the function of the entire cardiovascular system, prescription drugs and/or bypass surgery are a futile exercise, although they can be life saving at times. Only optimum nutrition can boost the body chemistry, helping the cells to receive more vital nutrients - nourishment needed for their optimal function (and survival), and undergo the ongoing process of detoxification - an essential factor in preventing and fighting all health problems. This is especially important for those, who have a family history of diabetes, heart disease or stroke due to atherosclerosis. Read more...
