the "cement" of the blood vessel walls and stabilizes them. Ani-
mals don't get heart disease because they produce enough
endogenous vitamin C in their livers to protect their blood ves-
sels. In contrast, we humans develop deposits in the blood ves-
sel walls that lead to heart attacks and strokes because we can-
not manufacture endogenous vitamin C, and generally, get too
few vitamins from the diet.

Regular physical activity is a precondition for cardiovascular
health. Moderate, regular exercise such as walking or bicycling
is ideal, and can be performed by everyone.

The buildup of blood vessel deposits starts as early as the sec-
ond decade of life. The earlier you start my cardiovascular
health program, the more years you will add to your life.

The cells of the blood vessel walls: The endothelial cells form
the barrier or protective layer between the blood and the
blood vessel wall; moreover, these cells contribute to a variety
of metabolic functions, such as viscosity. The optimum blood
smooth muscle cells produce collagen and other reinforce-
ment molecules, providing optimum stability and tone to the
blood vessel walls.
The cells of the heart muscle: The main role of heart muscle
cells is the pumping function to maintain blood circulation. A
subtype of heart muscle cell is specialized and capable of gen-
erating and conducting biological electricity for the heartbeat.

C). Primates and guinea pigs have lost the ability to synthesize
ascorbic acid, and they must acquire it from their diets. Ascorbic
acid, an effective reducing agent, maintains prolyl hydroxylase in
an active form, probably by keeping its iron atom in the reduced
ferrous state. Collagen synthesized in the absence of ascorbic
acid is insufficiently hydroxylated and, hence, has a lower melting
temperature. The abnormal collagen cannot properly form fibers
and, thus, causes the skin lesions and blood vessel fragility that
are so prominent in scurvy.

While these have been known for centuries, they still are

not applied medicine today. The next graphic summarizes
in
the fact that the main cause of heart attacks and strokes is a
scurvy-like condition of the artery wall.

Lysine and proline help protect the artery walls and prevent
the development of atherosclerotic deposits. This important
mechanism was discussed in Chapters Two and Three of this

Karl Folkers, MD and their colleagues at the University of
Texas at Austin showed that heart failure patients taking coen-

Inherited Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
WHY ANIMALS DON'T GET HEART ATTACKS - BUT PEOPLE DO!
Unhealthy Diet
The basis of any natural cardiovascular health program is a
healthy diet. For many generations, the diets of our ancestors
shaped the metabolism of our bodies today. By understanding
our ancestors' diets, we have learned what is best for our bod-
ies now. Their diets were rich in cereal, fruits, vegetables and
other plant nutrition high in fiber and vitamins. They ate con-
siderably less fat and sugar than we do today. Conversely, the
average diet in industrialized countries imposes a heavy meta-
bolic burden on our bodies. Certain inherited disorders put our
bodies at further risk.
is not primarily the result of too many fat molecules in the diet,
but is primarily due to the systematic depletion of the vitamin
reserves in our bodies from an overburdened fat metabolism.
As a consequence of chronic vitamin depletion, the artery
walls are weakened and cardiovascular disease develops.

stances have to be detoxified in the C and other
liver. Vitamin
components of my Cellular Health recommendations are essen-
tial cofactors for the detoxification of these substances in our
bodies.
My recommendations:
Eat a prudent diet. Watch your body weight and exercise regu-
larly. A healthy diet is rich in plant nutrition and contains
abundant vitamins and fiber substances. Try to avoid consum-
ing too much fat and sweetened food. Above all, avoid chronic
depletion of your body's vitamin reserves by following my Cel-
lular Health recommendations on a daily basis.
Smoking
While it is known that smoking dramatically increases the risk for
in early scurvy.
193
WHY ANIMALS DON'T GET HEART ATTACKS - BUT PEOPLE DO!
My recommendations:
Stress
These facts also explain why spouses frequently die soon one
after another. The loss of a partner results in long-term emo-
tional stress and fast vitamin depletion in the body, thereby
increasing the risk for a heart attack. We have to understand
that it is not the emotional stress itself that causes the heart
attack, rather, it is the biochemical consequence of the deple-
tion of the vitamin reserves in the body.

My recommendations:
Hormonal Contraceptives
and Estrogen Replacement Therapy
Long-term intake of estrogen and other hormones — both as hor-
monal contraception and hormone replacement therapy during
menopause —
cause a depletion of vitamins and other cellular
nutrients in the body. This is the reason why women taking these
hormones have an increased risk for heart attacks, strokes and
other forms of cardiovascular disease.

nutrients, particularly, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and
trace elements. These cellular nutrients are needed for a multi-
tude of biochemical reactions and other cellular functions tak-

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the key nutrient for the stability of our blood vessels,
our hearts, and all other organs in our bodies. Without vitamin C,
our bodies would literally collapse and dissolve, as in scurvy. Vit-
amin C is responsible for the optimum production and function
of collagen, elastin and other connective tissue molecules that
give stability to our blood vessels and our entire bodies.
217
WHY ANIMALS DON'T GET HEART ATTACKS - BUT PEOPLE DO!
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is the most important fat-soluble antioxidant vita-
min. It protects, particularly, the membranes of the cells in our
cardiovascular systems. Vitamin E also prevents free radical
attacks and oxidative damage.
Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is also called pro-vitamin A, and is another
important fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin. Like vitamin E, it is
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Thiamine functions as the cofactor of an important biocatalyst
called pyrophosphate. This catalyst is involved in phosphate
metabolism in our cells, another key energy source that optimizes
millions of reactions in cardiovascular and other cells.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Riboflavin is the cofactor for flavin adenine dinucleotide
(FAD), one of the most important carrier molecules of cellular
energy inside the tiny energy centers (power plants) of all cells.
218
10 (III Ul AK Ml l)l( INI
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenate)
Pantothenate is the cofactor of coenzyme A, the central fuel
molecule in the metabolism of our heart cells, blood vessel
cells and all other cells. The metabolism of carbohydrates, pro-
teins and fats inside each cell all lead to a single molecule,
acetyl-coenzyme A. This molecule is the key molecule that
helps to convert all food into cell energy. This important mole-
cule is actually composed, in part, of vitamin B5 and the
importance of supplementing this vitamin is evident. Again,
cell life would not be possible without this vitamin.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6 is the cofactor of pyridoxal phosphate, an impor-
tant cofactor for the metabolism of amino acids and proteins in
cardiovascular and other cells. Vitamin B6 is needed for the
production of red blood cells, which are the carriers of oxygen
to the cells of the cardiovascular system and all other cells in
the body. Vitamin B6 is also essential for the optimum struc-
ture and function of collagen fibers.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is needed for the proper metabolism of fatty acids
and certain amino acids in the cells of our bodies. Vitamin B1
is also required for the production of red blood cells. A severe
deficiency of vitamin B12 can cause a disease called perni-
cious anemia, which is characterized by an insufficient pro-
duction of blood cells.
219
WHY ANIMALS DON'T GET HEART ATTACKS - BUT PEOPLE DO!
Folate
Folate is a very important nutrient for the production of red
blood cells and oxygen supply.
The last three vitamins are good examples of how these bioen-
ergy molecules work together in synergy, like an orchestra.
Without proper oxygen transport to all the cells, their function
would be impaired, no matter how much of the other vitamins
you might take. It is, therefore, important to supplement your
diet as completely as possible with the right essential nutrients
in the right amounts.
Biotin
Biotin is needed for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and
proteins.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D
is essential for optimum calcium and phosphate
Minerals

Calcium
Calcium is important for the proper contraction of muscle
cells, including millions of heart muscle cells. It is needed for
the conduction of nerve impulses and, therefore, for optimum
heartbeat. Calcium is also essential for the hardening and sta-
bility of our bones and teeth. It is also needed for the proper
logical functions.
Magnesium
Magnesium is nature's calcium antagonist, and its benefit tor
the cardiovascular system is similar to the calcium antagonist
drugs that are prescribed, except that magnesium is produced
by nature itself.

Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Most of the
amino acids in our bodies are derived from regular food and
from digesting proteins. Many amino acids can be synthesized
in our bodies when needed; these amino acids are called
"non-essential" amino acids. Those amino acids that the body
cannot synthesize are called "essential" amino acids.
Proline
The amino acid proline is a major building block of the stabil-
ity proteins collagen and elastin. More than 10% of the build-

Lysine is also the precursor for the amino acid carnitine. The
conversion of lysine into carnitine requires the presence of vit-
Arginine
Arginine has many functions in the human body. In connec-
tion with the cardiovascular system, one function is of particu-
lar importance. The amino acid arginine can split off a small
molecule called nitric oxide. This tiny part of the former argi-
nine molecule has a powerful role in maintaining cardiovascu-
lar health. Nitric oxide relaxes the blood vessel walls and
helps to normalize high blood pressure. In addition, nitric
oxide helps to decrease the stickiness of platelets and has an
anti-clogging effect.
223
WHY ANIMALS DON'T GET HEART ATTACKS - BUT PEOPLE DO!
Carnitine
Carnitine is a very important essential nutrient. It is needed for
the conversion of fat into energy. Carnitine functions like a
shuttle between the cell factory and the energy compartment
within each cell. It transports energy molecules in and out of
these cellular power plants. This mechanism is particularly
important for all muscle cells, including those of the heart.
Carnitine also benefits the electrical cells of the heart, and its

The next step in this process was the key media support for vit-

It is a fact that almost all "experts" at the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) have financial ties to pharmaceutical companies and are instru-
mentalized on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry. It was clear that
millions of Americans who had been enjoying the health benefits of vit-
amins over decades would not understand why free access to vitamins
should be restricted and why essential nutrients should become pre-
scription items. To cover their real goal — protectionist laws for drug
markets — a camouflage was used by the FDA to make these unethical
plans more palatable and acceptable to the American people:
Thus, on behalf of the drug industry, the FDA tried to abolish two of
the most basic human rights — the right to health choices and the free-
dom to access health information.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a defined nutritional supplement program on
the natural progression of coronary artery disease. This nutritional supplement program was composed of vitamins,
amino and trace elements, including a combination of essential nutrients patented for use in the
acids, minerals,
prevention and reversal of cardiovascular disease. The study was designed as a prospective intervention before-after
trial over a 12-month period and included 55 outpatients ages 44-67 with various stages of coronary heart disease.
Changes in the progression of coronary artery calcification before and during the nutritional supplement interven-
tion were determined by Ultrafast Computed Tomography (Ultrafast CT). The natural progression rate of coronary
artery calcification before the intervention averaged 44% per year. The progression of coronary artery calcification
decreased on average 1 5% over the course of one year of nutritional supplementation. In a subgroup of patients
with early stages of coronary artery disease, a statistically significant decrease occurred, and no further progression
of coronary calcification was observed. In and complete disappearance of previously
individual cases, reversal
existing coronary calcifications were documented. This is the documenting the effectiveness of a
first clinical study
defined nutritional supplement program in one year. The nutri-
halting early forms of coronary artery disease within
tional supplement program tested here should be considered an effective and safe approach for the prevention and
adjunct therapy of cardiovascular disease.
