Additionally it is estimated that every 34 seconds, 1 American has a coronary event, and approximately every 1 minute, an American will die of one.
That means if it takes you 5 minutes to read this article there will have been 5 deaths and just slightly less than 10 coronary events, some of which will have occurred without warning.
Hopefully you are not one of them!
One could make the argument that part of the reason why the number of heart attacks, strokes, and coronary events has not declined more dramatically is a general misunderstanding of the cause, and how and why that cause occurs.
Additionally, the reliance of cholesterol lowering statin drugs to save the day could be another contributing factor as recent research tells us statin medications tend to only produce statistically significant results for individuals in certain high risk categories.
Getting Down To Basics
Statistical research compiled by the AHA tells us that 75 percent of all heart attacks and 87 percent of stokes are classified as Ischemic which means they are caused by arterial blood clots which block blood flow formed either at the site of the blockage (Cerebral thrombosis) or elsewhere (Cerebral embolism).
As you can see the potentially serious health event we refer to as a heart attack or stroke is really more of an artery issue that produces an outcome.
Artery Health and Why It Matters
Put simply healthy plaque free arteries translates into low risk for heart attack or stroke while poor artery health translates into high risk for heart attack or stroke.
The National Library of Medicine lists the primary contributing factors for poor artery health as family history, diabetes, smoking, and high blood pressure with the bottom line cause being plaque deposit formation triggered by inflammation.
In theory if we were to keep the inner lining of our arteries healthy and plaque free we should be able to almost completely eliminate the risk for heart attack and stroke.
The point I am trying to make here is that by thinking about the cause, and trying to prevent it, rather than the outcome (heart attack or stroke) we all will be taking a step in right direction on the road to broad based cardiovascular health and prevention.
So if you accept the science that deterioration in artery health greatly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke then the next thing we need to find out is what can be done to protect our arteries from current dangers and possible reverse existing damage.
Natural Herbs and Remedies May Help
From a natural health perspective there are a number of herbs that seem to be able to promote artery health with garlic and hawthorn considered by most to be two of the best.
*Garlic can prevent and treat plaque buildup in the arteries.
If you know someone who has had a heart attack, stroke or some form of heart disease you may wonder if you will suffer too. Consequently I want to state very clearly that most often the symptoms of clogged arteries are heart attacks, strokes and various forms of heart disease. However we now know there are many ways to reduce the risk of developing dangerously clogged arteries and cardiovascular disease in general.
The most basic prevention method is to lower your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels and raise the "good" (HDL) cholesterol levels. Eventually the arteries become inflamed and block blood flow to the heart or brain causing strokes and heart attacks.
Peripheral Artery Disease Can Now Be Cured!
No matter what you have heard or what you've been told, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) can be cured! In addition, because the current conventional medical treatments for PAD are so closely tied to the drug and medical industries multi billion dollar income streams, there is no incentive to tell you that you can quickly cure your PAD problem yourself in the privacy of your own home for only pennies a day!
Yes, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Can Be Cured!
Jerry Nokes, as a result of suffering the full effects of Peripheral Artery Disease, through research gained the understanding and knowledge to realize the cause of the disease and discover the natural cure.
Whether hardening of the arteries reversible is a question that has been debated in medical circles for years. In order to achieve this we will have to chip away at these cement like obstructions that have been building and hardening for decades.
Sounds impossible doesn't it?
At first blush one would assume that short of a surgical procedure reversing hardening of the arteries would be almost impossible.
This consensus view was held up until the 1970's when an innovative doctor decided to challenge the establishment believing that hardening of the arteries not only was treatable but reversible. The other group was not so fortunate as 10 out of 19 continued to see their arteries narrow and blood flow decrease.
Another important finding was that those with angina related chest pain saw a reduction in symptoms while those not on the Ornish plan claimed their symptoms became worse.
The Ornish secret to reverse hardening of the arteries
The truth is the formula used was no secret.
What a perfect subject for me!
So, I have been scouring the internet and library for information about the processes the dairy industry uses on dairy products and in addition to any potentially toxic additives, there is strong evidence that homogenizing milk may increase the risk of heart attack.
You may be thinking that homogenizing milk can't hurt us, after all it makes the milk stay fresh longer without having to add many chemicals. Heart disease has been on the rise in recent decades and these and other studies conducted over the past 20 or so years have now concluded that these processes can be directly linked to heart disease, atherosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis.
Unless you can insure that your milk, including that favorite organic variety, has not been processed using pasteurization and homogenization, it is best to find an alternative beverage to dip your cookies in.
