Solution to the problem of cardiovascular disease

The link between scurvy and heart diseaseSolution to the problem of cardiovascular disease
Historical lecture by Dr. Rath at Stanford UniversityPalo Alto, California 4, May 2002
Congratulations to Stanford University to the fact that they are the need for preventive and natural responses to the number one killer in the industrialized countries employed.
In the following I will present facts showing that heart attacks and strokes are not diseases, but the direct result of long-term vitamin deficiency. And therefore they can be treated naturally without drugs or surgery.
Heart disease an early form of the sailor's disease scurvy represents in my speech, I can only respond to the most compelling evidence. If you want to know more details, I beg you to look at our research on the internet.
All existing hypotheses on the development of heart disease have a common problem - they lack the human logic. The theory that damage high cholesterol, oxidized LDL or bacteria vessel walls would lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques throughout the vascular system. Consequently, peripheral vascular disease would be the first symptom of coronary artery disease. This is obviously not the case.
Needless is a graduate of Stanford University or other educational institution for physicians - any layman can solve this puzzle.
The arteries, veins and capillaries in our body have a vascular system that is 60,000 miles long. This system, however, failed in 90% of cases at a particular location: At the coronary arteries, which accounts for only a tiny part of the whole system.
For example, if poor water quality damage a pipe system, then this makes presence felt, not only at a certain point. Consequently, a high cholesterol level can not be the cause of a narrowing of the coronary arteries.
The solution to the puzzle of coronary heart disease should therefore be the explanation for the deposits in the coronary arteries, which are the most important signs of cardiovascular disease. To solve the puzzle, we need to focus our attention less on the blood flow and its components, but rather the only important target: the stability of the vessel wall.
You shown the film shows the relationship between cardiovascular disease and the sailor's disease scurvy. Unlike animals can not synthesize vitamin C man. A deficiency of vitamin C leads to two important morphological alterations of the vessel wall are added to a reduced stability of the vessel walls due to decreased synthesis of collagen and to a loss of the endothelial protection function.
The sailors of previous centuries died within a few months of blood loss due to a lack of the body's production of vitamin C combined with a vitamin-deficient diet at sea. When the Indians gave these sailors to drink tea made from tree bark and other vitamin-rich food, the blood loss was prevented and cured the vessel wall in a natural way.
Today, every vitamin C and scurvy has become very rare. But almost everyone suffers from chronic vitamin deficiency. Over the years, micro-lesions develop in the vessel wall, especially in areas with a high mechanical stress, such as the coronary arteries. Cholesterol and other blood components go into this injury. Their task is to repair the injured vessel wall and strengthen. Deposits in the vessels thus are nothing. As the result of an exaggerated repair mechanism for the vascular wall, which was destabilized due to a vitamin deficiency
Like the sailor's disease scurvy leads Vitamin C is a natural healing process of the vessel wall, thus preventing the progression of damage and even lead to a natural decline in the damage to the vessel wall. Unlike current models explaining the development of atherosclerosis, the scurvy / heart disease answer all important questions in clinical cardiology today.
Why do we have a heart attack on the heart and not the nose or ears? The answer can be reduced to two factors: combined structural deterioration of the vessel wall due to a vitamin deficiency with the mechanical stress due to blood flow in the coronary arteries. On this one point, the underlying structural deterioration makes first noticeable.
Why do we get a hardening of the arteries and the veins do not? The theory is based on an increased cholesterol and for infections would result in any case, to a blockage of the veins and the capillary. The scurvy / heart disease is the only logical answer to this phenomenon.
Why animals do not get heart attacks, but people? Why are bears and other animals that are holding a winter sleep, with a cholesterol level of 600 mg / dl yet extinct due to an epidemic of heart attacks? The answer is as follows: animals produce their own vitamin C in amounts ranging from 1 gram to 20 grams per day, compared to the human body weight. These amounts of Vitamin C are apparently sufficient to optimize the stability of the vessel wall - and there is no need for statins.
Why are all important risk factors for cardiovascular disease are associated with a vitamin deficiency, including diabetes, lipid disorders, homocystinuria and other diseases? The common denominator of these metabolic disorders: balancing the lack of stability that has arisen because of vitamin deficiency in the vessel wall. This is also the reason why a lack of vitamin C increases the fibrin and Thromboxangehalt applicants, while the formed endothelial relaxing factor (NO) and prostacyclin is decreased.
Let us turn to the most important evidence of the connection between scurvy and coronary artery disease. The guinea pig is how man is not able to form the body's own vitamin C. In our published studies, we showed that guinea pigs develop atherosclerosis when they are only fed with such amounts of vitamin C, which correspond to the official requirement recommendations (RDA) for men. The vascular changes can not be distinguished histologically from the atherosclerotic plaques in humans. In contrast, the control group of animals received a daily teaspoon vitamin C, flawless arteries.
These experiments were conducted by Meade et al. in an animal with vitamin C, the so-called "knock out" attempt confirmed. The first manifestation in these animals was the damage to the vessel wall, which is similar to the early atherosclerosis in humans.
We confirmed these results in a clinical study in patients who were already in deposits in the coronary arteries, which were measured with the ultrafast computed tomography. After maintaining a clearly defined program of taking vitamins increased the progression of calcification decreases significantly, and in some cases the disappearance of the damage was documented, as you can see in these CT images. Copies of published clinical trial, you can receive or online.
The link between scurvy and heart disease is a new paradigm in medicine, away from the symptom orientation towards the single most important preventive and therapeutic target: the stability of the vessel wall. With the discovery of the link between scurvy and heart disease is the "world of Cardiovascular Diseases" no disc, but a ball.
Now that we have discovered the real cause of heart disease, the eradication of this disease is only a matter of time. In just ten years, the titles could be in the leading newspapers as follows:

    WHO says heart disease as eradicated
    The market for statins and other symptomatic drugs has collapsed on Wall Street
    The Departments of Cardiology at Stanford and at other training centers for physicians close.
    On behalf of millions of patients with heart disease, I call on the Stanford University and other educational institutions for physicians to take on their responsibilities, and to join us in the eradication of cardiovascular disease
