Heart Disease
Many think of heart disease as problem men usually face, but it’s also the No. 1 killer of women in the United States. In fact, one in three women will die of cardiovascular disease. That’s the bad news. The good news is, there are many effective ways to treat and reverse heart disease without these invasive surgeries or reliance on prescription medications. Conditions commonly called “Heart Disease” are actually part of a broad spectrum of symptoms involving narrowing of the arteries. The process by which arteries become narrowed is called arteriosclerosis. Other names or descriptions of arteriosclerosis are hardening and narrowing of the arteries, plaque and atherosclerosis.

Mechanism of arteriosclerosis
Conditions commonly called “Heart Disease” are actually part of a broad spectrum of symptoms involving narrowing of the arteries. The process by which arteries become narrowed is called arteriosclerosis. Other names or descriptions of arteriosclerosis are hardening and narrowing of the arteries, plaque and atherosclerosis. It is present to some degree in all of us. Autopsies performed on young GIs killed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars revealed the large majority (78%) of these 19 to 21-year-old men had signs of advanced arteriosclerosis in their coronary arteries.
CHOLESTEROL
Myth
Cholesterol is an essential component of the body. It is found in all the cells of the body, particularly in the brain and nerve cells. Body cells are continually dying and new ones are being made. Cholesterol is a major building block from which cell walls are made. Cholesterol is also used to make a number of other important substances: hormones (including the sex hormones), bile acids and, in conjunction with sunlight on the skin, vitamin D3. The body uses large quantities of cholesterol every day and the substance is so important that, with the exception of brain cells, every body cell has the ability to make it.
