Mother Nature's Way by Charles R. Attwood, M.D., F.A.A.P. hen the chest pains started, Mary was on her regular flight from Miami to San Francisco. At age 46, she had worked as a flight attendant at American Airlines for over 20 years without missing a single day due to illness. She had always enjoyed excellent healthor so she thought. Now, within 3 hours she would find herself in a coronary care unit, where she was told that 3 coronary vessels were partically occluded, but one, the left anterior descending, was 95 percent blocked. The balloon angioplasty which followed gave her temporary relief, but after she returned home, within 12 weeks the vessel was closing again, and the chest pain returned. Another angioplasty was done, this time with a stint. Now, Mary was advised that she would almost certainly need bypass surgery. That's when she came to me. She had already read my book, because with a strong family history of heart disease she'd wanted to learn more about protecting her family from a similar fate. Now, that she was the victim herself, she had expected her cardiologist to offer serious dietary counseling. The doctor's dietitian, however, only suggested that she eat less red meat, more poultry and fish. She was given the USDA's food pyramid, which was, they said, designed to keep her calories from fat around 30 percent. She came to me for a more vigorous plan to reduce her dietary fat. Furthermore, she had correctly assumed that her cholesterol level of 210 mg/dl was too high, even though the cardiologist and dietitian seemed comfortable with it. Both seemed virtually certain that she would need a bypass, because the chest pain was beginning to reappear during routine physical activity.

Journals All times in EST Judaism: 9:00 PM Holistic Health You Are Here: BellaOnline Holistic Health Carolyn Chambers Clark, RN, EdD BellaOnline's Holistic Health Editor Heart Health - Diet and Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs New study provides important information on heart health Comparisons of diet with coronary heart disease (CHD) between countries with similar socioeconomic environments have been few. A new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined patients in Australia and New Zealand (n = 9014) who participated in a large prevention trial who died from coronary heart disease even though they were taking statin drugs (such as Lipitor, Lescol, Mevacor, Pravachol, Zocor). How can this be? The dangers of cholesterol-lowering drugs Earl Mindell, a pharmacist with a PhD explains. If you're on cholesterol-lowering drugs, keep in mind that they have never been tested for their long-term affects. According to Mindell, the biggest danger and most common side effect of taking cholesterol-lowering drugs is liver damage. He gives an example of how damaging they can be when combined with a couple of alcohol drinks and a Tylenol. He reminds us that we need cholesterol to be healthy-it's a basic building block for the steroid hormones we need to produce cortisones, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA. Without cholesterol, men grow breasts and become impotent, women get bald, and both suffer from insomnia and fatigue. Strange at it may seem, cholesterol-lowering drugs also block the production of a coenzyme called Q10 that is essential for a healthy heart and healthy muscles. According to Mindell, heart disease patients consistently have been shown to have a shortage of Co Q10, and 1 in 200 of them suffer from muscle pain and weakness, that can signal kidney failure and approaching death.

Diet Prevents Heart Disease (text quoted below from Joseph Keon's Whole Health "46 percent of all American men at age twenty-two already have the beginnings of coronary heart disease." Dr. Tazewell Banks, General Hospital, Washington, D.C. "[C]oronary heart disease remains the number-one killer in America, taking more lives than all forms of cancer combined. "Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is called "the silent killer" because it can progress to advanced stages without any indication of its presence. CHD is brought about by atherosclerosis ( athero meaning "paste" and sclerosis meaning "thickening" or "hardening"), or what is more commonly referred to as "hardening of the arteries," a process in which the coronary arteries (arteries that supply blood to the heart) undergo a gradual narrowing, reducing the blood supply to the heart. This narrowing of the arterial channel is brought about by a progressive buildup of a plaque composed of cholesterol, fat, damaged cells, and other debris, and is primarily the result of a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol. While more serious stages of the disease may be detected by increased blood pressure or chest pain (pectoris angina), it is possible for the disease to progress significantly while the host remains symptom-free. "When the arteries to the heart become constricted, there is increased resistance to blood flow, and the heart must work harder to pump blood through the narrowed passage. In unchecked cases, this arterial plaque may become so great that one or more arteries feeding the heart may become entirely blocked, preventing blood from reaching the heart. Since blood is carrying oxygen to the heart, a complete blockage will result in a myocardial infarction, or what is more commonly known as a heart attack. While not all heart attacks are fatal, they are all serious, since the portion of the heart deprived of blood supply dies.

Sign up for email updates Bookstore Arthritis Coronary Heart Disease ... Vision New Research: New Diet Similar to Drugs for Cholesterol Lowering A vegetarian diet high in sterols, soy, fiber, and almonds can lower LDL cholesterol as much as treatment with a low-dose statin medication, according to a new study. Forty-six participants, average age 59, with high LDL cholesterol levels underwent one of three treatments for four weeks: 1) a vegetarian control diet emphasizing whole grains and low-fat dairy products; 2) the vegetarian diet plus 20 mg of lovastatin (Mevacor) daily; or 3) an investigational vegetarian diet emphasizing sterols, soy protein, soluble fiber, and almonds. LDL cholesterol levels decreased significantly more in the investigational-diet and lovastatin groups (29% and 31%, respectively) than in the control group (8%). (Higher doses or more potent statins can lower LDL cholesterol by 50%.) Similarly, levels of C-reactive protein, a risk factor for CHD, decreased significantly less in the control group (10%) than in the investigational-diet and lovastatin groups (28% and 33%, respectively). Cholesterol guidelines recommend consuming 25 g of soluble fiber each day and possibly including 2 g of plant sterols daily. Levels of intake for soy and nuts have not been established, but the American Heart Association recognizes that these foods have potential heart benefits.
