Vitamin C May Wipe Out Heart Disease

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, has been proven over
the years as a crucial component in the fight against heart
disease. Studies have been done over the years and a Noble Prize
winning scientist has proven that Vitamin C is very important
not only for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, but for
overall health as well.

A Little History

Millions of years ago nearly all mammals manufactured ascorbic
acid in their liver from glucose. Then some 55 to 60 million
years ago one of ancestral primates was afflicted with a genetic
mutation that prevented him from producing his own ascorbic
acid. As of today we all know this is still the case.

There are 4 enzymes required to convert glucose to ascorbic
acid. We are only able to produce 3 out of the 4 enzymes and
lack the ability to make the final conversion to ascorbic acid..
To the best of our knowledge, only two non primate animals the
guinea pig and a fruit eating bat have suffered similar
mutations and survived. Both lived in areas where ascorbic acid
was readily available.

The Pauling Theory

Dr. Linus Pauling, the two time Noble Prize winner, was
considered to be the father of modern chemistry. His early work
contributed greatly to our understanding of the double helix
structure of DNA. You could say he ushered in this modern era of
alternative medicine with his concept of orthomolecular medicine
and mega vitamin therapy. With his knowledge and determination
he was able to cut through the established beliefs and get to
the truth of the matter.

Dr Pauling and his colleague Dr. Rath presented evidence so
compelling that in 1994 they were issued a patent for the
prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. (U.S. PATENT
# 5278189). The protocol followed at a lower dose will prevent
cardiovascular disease while higher doses will actually reverse
arterial plaque build up. Heart patients who use this therapy
commonly avoid open heart surgery and angioplasty.

Why Many People Don't Know

You might be asking yourself at this point that if this is so
great how come nobody has heard about it and why are people
still dieing of heart disease. That's a good question and I have
an answer to it. There's a lot of money to be made in heart
surgeries and procedures, not to mention all the money the drug
companies make from the drugs you'll have to take.

I'm not saying it's just one big conspiracy. There are a lot of
doctors out there that truly want to help you and may not even
know about these types of therapies. Remember, the doctors are
trained to prescribe drugs and unless you doctor is proactive
that will be all he knows.

What You Can Do

If you want to live a long healthy life you need to get
proactive with your health. You can't always count on someone
else to take care of you, they may not have your best interest
at heart.

I've given you some fantastic information here, but don't take
my word for it. Go investigate Dr. Pauling and you'll discover
the same information I have, that according to Dr. Pauling with
5,000mg - 18,000mg of Vitamin C daily and 3g to 6 g of the amino
acid Lysine daily you to can prevent or reverse heart disease.
