Subject: Re: Newsletter on Cholesterol
Karl,I forgot to add that there is good evidence of arterial plaques in the artieres of Egyptian mummies. Also, William Harvey, who discovered the circulation of blood in the body (1628) discussed heart disease, and angina, in some detail. John Hunter died in 1798 having suffered the symptoms of angina for many years. He is thought to have died of a heart attack.Dropsy - a condition now called heart failure - was not uncommon hundreds of years ago, in middle aged man and women, and dropsy is primarily caused by heart failure post MI.Whilst one can argue about the veracity of historical reports, I do not believe that heart disease was unknown hundreds of years ago. Rare? Probably. But people definitely had angina, MIs and dropsy.Malcolm

Many years ago doctors were fond of excusing their ignorance, and their failure to cure heart disease, by saying that it has always been with us and that people have to die of something, so why not heart disease!
Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s book is so misleading that I’m going to quote some of it as an example of the trash you might buy in the bookstore if you didn’t have this warning:
Like many mass killers, cholesterol was born into the world under rather innocent, unpretentious circumstances. The earliest known scientific investigation into this substance, which would later be identified as one of the deadliest forces in our bodies, dates back to 1733.
. . .
[Dr.] De la Salle conducted his experiments [1769, on cholesterol] in the political climate that preceded the mass killings of the French Revolution. But as he prepared the first pure cholesterol by crystallizing a gallstone in an alcohol solution, the researcher was unaware that he was confronting a lethal force in his own laboratory.
. . .
Despite these breakthroughs, the killer continued to do its deadly work completely under cover for the next forty years. To be sure, heart trouble abounded in the Western world during this period. But the major cause of coronary disease didn’t as yet even have a name.
. . .
In a related development in 1856 -- one which was destined to converge with cholesterol research about fifty years later -- Rudolf Virchow, a prominent German pathologist, kicked off the study of atherosclerosis. Specifically, Virchow observed that significant changes occur in artery walls during the "hardening" process, as plaque builds up and clogging of the blood vessels occurs. [Click Here for data on why Virchow's results don't support Cooper's claim.]
. . .
The great killer had finally been given its true name.
[Karl Note: The inference that heart disease has always existed, and that Dr. Virchow proved this by "seeing it" in 1856 -- that inference is completely false. Click here for the truth about Dr. Virchow.]
So, the master planner’s story is that heart disease has always been with us, always caused by killer cholesterol, and the only reason why it wasn’t discovered earlier was that people, years ago, died early in life from accidents and infections and did not live long enough to die from heart disease.
They also asserted that even when people DID die of heart disease, the doctors of that day didn’t know how to recognize it.
It was certainly true that the statistics for causes of death prior to 1900 did NOT include heart disease.
When they have finished with these arguments, you see, they can dismiss those faddists who claim that heart disease is a manmade disease -- a product of the modern life style.
Doctors didn’t want to admit that because that would take heart disease out of the realm of drug-treatment and surgery, and acknowledge that diet, exercise, even vitamins, might be useful treatments.
These lies about the historical existence of heart disease are easily disproved.

First, there are many population groups even today where heart disease is completely unknown! These are people living on diets very different from the Coke and French Fry diet of modern America. Dr. Price did the most famous research on this. Click to read about his research. Why do you think McDonalds' Fries taste so good? Is it the "natural goodness" of potatoes? No way! Click here to read the truth.
For instance, until their diets were influenced by Coke and French Fries, the Eskimos ate a daily diet which included large quantities of blubber -- a very saturated fat, very high in cholesterol. Heart disease was completely unknown among the Eskimos until they adopted Western ways with diet and life style. Coke has such an evil history that you would wonder how anyone is willing to work for that company. Click here for that story.
Heart disease had been unknown in China until recently. Almost one billion people there had no influence from the Coke and potato chip diets of the Western world. The poor in China, it’s true, ate little meat, but there were millions of rich Chinese too, who ate lots of meat and they didn’t die of heart disease either.
Here’s a quote from the book of Dr. Price:
The Japanese who normally have a very low rate of heart attacks are no different from other people when they move to Hawaii -- and drink chlorinated water; the Masai tribesmen of Kenya have almost no heart disease although they eat at least as much cholesterol as most Americans -- but drink no chlorinated water; coronary heart disease is unknown among a group of 500 poor Irish farm workers studied by famed Dr. Paul Dudley White while being widespread among their chlorine-drinking brothers in the United States.
The truth is that heart disease was unknown in the 1800’s. It first started appearing when the Western diet changed to more sugar in about 1500, and then drastically about 1920. By 1930 heart disease was fairly common.
Heart disease has been brought on man by man himself!
An honest group of scientists would have looked for, and found, exactly what changes in the diet have contributed what parts of the increase of heart disease. Personally, I think sugar is the biggest culprit of all! Click here for my detailed article on diet.
Many orthodox doctors don’t want to admit diet is the cause because such an admission would suggest that there could be a reversal of whatever was done, by man, to cause heart disease in the first place.
The doctors would rather claim that heart disease has ALWAYS been with us and therefore we need more money to do more research to find different drugs which can "cure" this cause of death.
The war on AIDS will never be won partly because it is so profitable to the researchers to continue research. Click here for my article on this.
Dear Malcolm,
How could Virchow, in 1956, detect the difference as to WHERE the plaque was formed.
He described a change in the wall of the artery. That is rather vague -- since there are several layers of artery.
In any event, he could not possibly distinguish between "plaque" (if that is what he was looking at) INSIDE a cell and plaque that is mostly now reported as "coating" the inner lining of the artery.
However, I accept and admire Virchow for introducing the concept of stages of disease -- in his time the death rate from heart disease was very low, compared to now.
So, whether heart disease actually existed hundreds of years ago, or not, is not as important as accepting the fact that the rate of heart disease has greatly increased and that the current rate is not "natural."
As Dr. Virchow said, these diseases are "man made" in that they come from "external influences."
Toxic metal is a very new external influence. Stress is not.
So, how does this seem now?
Karl Loren
Next to the images below are the comments in the original source, in blue, with a link to that source. Here is that next image:

However,
as we get older, lipids or fatty substances
(cholesterol and triglycerides) are deposited
as fatty streaks. The streaks are only
minimally raised and thus do not produce any
obstruction or symptoms. (click
here)
I make a big point of it, but be sure you realize that these "fatty streaks" are the beginning of "plaque" and they are "deposited" on the inside wall of the inner layer. You can guess that these "fatty streaks" could become more numerous -- and actually start to cause a blockage of the artery.
Sure enough, here is the next image:
Patients
with one or more risk factors for coronary
artery disease are susceptible to the
increased buildup of fatty layers, known as
atheroma (pronounced athe-a-roma).
This buildup of material begins to encroach
upon the inner channel and starts to
interfere with the free flow of blood through
the coronary artery. (click
here)
While this is called "atheroma" when it becomes larger it is known as "plaque."
You can see it building up to block the inner channel so that blood doesn't flow easily through that area.
Now
you can see the plaque increase in size and
starting to cause serious blockage of the
artery.
This is SO logical, and SO easy to explain -- it is a shame that this is not a true explanation of heart disease.
As atherosclerosis
progresses, fibers begin to grow into and
around the fatty layers of atheroma, causing
the blockage to harden and turn into a plaque
(pronounced plak). The enlarging
plaque increases the encroachment into the
inner channel of the coronary artery. When
the channel is reduced by more than 50% (of
the diameter) the artery may become
obstructed enough to decrease blood flow to
the heart muscle during times of increased
need (exercise, emotional stress, etc.).
During such times, the blood pressure and
heart rate are both elevated and increase the
need of oxygen and nutrients by the heart
muscle.
(click
here)
Here
it is! The blockage is now complete. This
would be called 100% blockage of whatever
artery is involved.
If ALL your major arteries were like this, presumably you would be dead from a heart attack or stroke.
You can guess, without further data, that this so-called "plaque" is plenty large enough to be detected with some sort of device -- such as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine. After all, the larger arteries (near the heart) are about the diameter of a wooden pencil -- so the "blockage" would be almost that thick. The MRI would see this heavy density material (calcium) in the area where the inner channel was supposed to be. The MRI would see the three various levels of the artery as less dense material, so the MRI would see the differentiation of density -- the MRI would "see" the calcium (perhaps with cholesterol mixed in, of course) clogging the inner channel of the artery.
It looks pretty logical, doesn't it!
The drawings above are the conventional view of the LOCATION of plaque. My comments should make it clear that I disagree.
Later in the article I lay out all the logic as to why it CAN BE inside a cell, rather than the above.
The cell's calcium pump is damaged by free radicals. The pump can no longer keep the calcium out of the cell -- the outside calcium concentration is 10,000 times greater than inside the cell. So, the cell gets filled with calcium, enlarges in size, and stays that way until the free radical damage lessens or stops, allowing the cell to rejuvinate, the calcium pump gets back to working, the calcium is removed from inside the cell, and behold, the plaque has gone.
Again, how else could chelation (either IV or oral) account for its results of "plaque removal?"

Karl,I thought I should start e-mails afresh. The last one was getting a bit unwieldy.If you have a chance to read Part Two of the book that I sent you, you will see that I too consider free-radicals to play a key role in CHD. If heavy metals have an impact on free-radical synthesis, then it is biologically plausible that they will have a role, both in 'damaging' the endothelium and creating increased blood coagulation.What I discovered in my research is that, when platelets start to stick together (first part of clot formation), they release free radicals. Free radicals 'stimuate' if that is the right word, lipoproteins in the blood to act as lipid surfaces on which blood clots are brought together. Free-radials also increase 'oxidative stress' knock-out NO synthesis within the endothelium, and stimulate other clotting factors.However, in my hypothesis, the factors that primarily stimulate free-radical sythesis are: hyperglycaemia, raised blood cortisol, hyperinsulinaemia, hyperhomocysteinamia etc. All of which are stiumated by eating whilst under stress.So, you and I agree on the central importance of free radicals. I suppose that where we disagree is in the primary factor(s) that lead to excess free-radical production. There is a huge amount of evidence supporting (to choose one factor) hyperglycemia as the/a primary cause. Hyperglycemia is found in syndrome X/type II diabetes, and is also present in individuals who are put under stress in the post-prandial period. Equally, there is no doubt that post-prandial 'spikes' of glucose are much more damaging that a generally rasied blood sugar level.Anyway, all of this takes a great deal of time to explain. But it is all there in the information that I sent you (along with all of the references)Where we certainly do agree is that the diet-heart/cholesterol hypothesis is absolute junk.RegardsMalcolm
