What this health update does not discuss, is the link between bad oral hygiene and cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that people with periodontal disease have almost twice the risk of CVD as those without periodontal disease. Researchers are not exactly sure why periodontal disease is linked to CVD. One possibility is that the bacteria actually damage the artery walls causing clots to form in order to repair the damage which can form fatty plaques. When researchers look at the areas where plaque has formed in the arteries they have found damaged tissue caused by viruses and bacteria.

Pharmaceutical companies continue to push cholesterol lowering drugs. And doctors, who are brain washed, continue to prescribe them with a vengeance. This, despite the fact, the evidence has never supported their use and continues to show how detrimental to ones health they are. The following is taken from Wise Traditions, 2007; 8(3).

Are you taking these three supplements daily? 1. A multi-vitamin If not, you should be. While it shouldn’t be used in place of the nutrients we get from every day food, a multi-vitamin is a valuable supplement for those with dietary imbalances. According to a study by Robert H. Fletcher, MD, MSc and Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH, most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Besides being helpful for the every day headache, aspirin has also been known as a heart saver. Same thing can be said for fish oil, which is a great source for omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3’s can cut your risk of heart disease, prostate cancer, stroke, asthma and arthritis.

A study tracking 53,000 regular drinkers over 7 years is music to some ears. The study which was reported in the British Medical Journal, demonstrated that daily drinking reduced occurence of coronary heart disease in men between 50 & 65 years of age by 41%. Unfortunately for women, there was no correlation.

Today in the United States one person will die from CVD every 35 seconds. This year in the U.S. over one million people will have a heart attack and just short of half will die. Approximately 70,100,000 people or roughly 25% of The U.S. has cardiovascular disease(CVD). It became our number one killer in the 1950’s and has not slowed down. Do you believe consuming saturated fat and cholesterol cause CVD? Do you believe eating polyunsaturated oils like canola and corn oil are not only good for you but lower your risk of CVD. If you answered yes to both of these questions, you are among the 10’s of millions who need to be enlightened by reading my article “Fats, Cholesterol and the Lipd Hypothesis”. The truth is, saturated fat and cholesterol have nothing to do with your risk of cardiovascular disease. As a matter of fact there are many studies that show that people who have heart attacks do not eat anymore saturated fat than people who don’t have heart attacks. More-over the degree of atherosclerosis at autopsy, in heart attack victims, is unrelated to diet. It is also interesting to note that half of all heart attack victims do not have “clogged” arteries. I have personally witnessed and cared for many patients who were experiencing (the big one) massive heart attacks in the emergency room. The degree of blockage had a wide range with the most common seemingly being between 80, 90 percent. But the interesting thing was, some people literally had no plaque what-so-ever according to cath lab reports. It was during my time working in emergency department, because of so many discrepancies, that I became very curious about what actually caused CVD. |
