ATHEROSCLEROSIS
(HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES)
Atherosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries) occurs as we grow older and leads to damaging effects
in the heart, brain, kidneys, gastrointestinal system, testes and ovaries.
The walls of the arteries (the endothelium) cause abnormal narrowing
which leads to clotting and obstruction of the blood vessels.
This pathological change
was accepted in the past as part of the aging process and that there
was nothing to prevent or treat it. Vascular aging leads to stroke and
heart attacks. When fats (lipids) build up in the damaged walls of arteries
and become oxidized. This causes further damage and eventually causes
atherosclerotic plaque with the combination of foam cells, calcification
and lipid accumulation.
The factors that lead to
atherosclerosis include hyperinsulism, high blood glucose, elevated
triglycerides,, low Vitamin k, low nitric oxide, low HDL, elevated LDL,
low free testosterone, elevated fibrinogen, elevated homocysteine, elevated
C reactive protein, hypercholesterolemia, low EPA and DHA (oxidized
omega 3 fatty acids) and oxidized LDL.
How to avoid or treat damaged
endothelium is now possible with the following combinations plus stem
cell intravenous infusion:
-
Propionyl-L-Carnitine(PLC)
helps to maintain healthy endothelium and thus reduce or prevent atherosclerosis.
Dose: 2 grams daily
-
Acetyl-L-Carnitine:
when used with PLC enhances endothelial health; improves symptoms
of chronic fatigue syndrome; improves erectile penile function
-
Adenosine triphosphate(ATP)
is the primary source triggering energy in cells. After forty five
years of research it is available to be administered in an oral form
and can be used to expand ATP blood vessel function in the liver,
kidney, heart, lungs, The name of the oral product is PEAK ATP with
GlycoCarn(contains 1000 mg.PLC and PEAK ATP 200 mg) and improves cardiopulmonary
and cerebral blood flow.
-
Pomegranate reverses
arterial wall thickness as well as melon extract(GliSODin) that appears
to reverse narrowing of the carotid artery. They both are anti-oxidents;
reduce free radicals and increase nitric oxide levels that improve
endothelial lining function thus preventing plaque formation.
-
Chelation using EDTA
oral and intravenous that has been around as a treatment for many
years is under more strict clinical investigation evaluation but early
reports seem to indicate that it may be a important form of therapy
to reduce atherosclerosis.
-
Stem Cell Therapy:
StemCellRegenMed recommends the intravenous infusion of CD34+ CD133+
progenitor cells; cardiomyocytes derived from umbilical cord cells
and vascular endothelial growth factor. Additional infusions will
be considered depending on the cardiovascular health of the patient.
-
Vitamin E 400-800 I.U.daily
Niacin 50-100 mg. daily ( take at bedtime)
Garlic; Fish oil; Lycopene
