Just what is this matter we call cholesterol,



anyway? Webster's College Dictionary, 1995 edition,

states: "a sterol, abundant in animal fats, brain and

nerve tissue, meat and eggs, that functions in the body

as a membrane constituent and as a precursor of

steroid hormones and bile acids: high levels in the

blood are associated with arteriosclerosis and gallstones."

That's a mouthful. But without cholesterol the body

cannot make the sex hormones, adrenal hormones,

and vitamin D. Excess cholesterol is converted in

the liver to bile acids, which are normally eliminated

in the feces.

Some experts feel high levels of cholesterol

have very little to do with dietary intake of it. There

is a correlation between blood cholesterol levels

and the incidence of coronary artery disease. One

must, however, distinguish between the total blood

cholesterol level and the cholesterol portion in the

blood carried by HDL (high-density lipoprotein).

Before you begin a strict program to reduce

cholesterol blood levels, check the total cholesterol

to HDL-cholesterol ratio first. This risk ratio can

be determined by a simple blood test by any

medical doctor

There does exist hope, however, when one has

reason for concern over their blood work. But

remember--the body is a fantastic mechanism and always

moves itself toward health. To help it along, it needs

proper information.

This "information" that I speak of has to do with

more than adequate nutrition. In addition to eating

more raw fruits and vegetables, and drinking pure

water, try to locate a sound nutritional supplier.

Years ago, Dr. Linus Pauling's work demonstrated

the value of Vitamin C in helping the body dislodge

and eliminate harmful arterial plaque. If you were to

go to your favorite health store or drug store for

Vitamin C, you probably would not receive the same

benefits as Dr. Pauling did. Why is that?

(Pauling, Linus & Cameron, Ewan. "Cancer and

Vitamin C." Camino Books. Philadelphia, PA, 1993.)

Because nutrients must be in an appropriate

electrical matrix or else they are not functional to the

human body. For instance, Vitamin C is sold worldwide

but as a synthetic supplement, usually in a chewable

tablet. Unfortunately, isolated Vitamin C is not in a

proper electrical matrix making it as useless to the

human body as sawdust. Instead, Vitamin C must

be combined in a matrix form with trace minerals,

bioflavonoids and electrolytes. Only when introduced

in this particular matrix or pattern can the human body

actually use the nutritional information present in the

Vitamin C.

Vitamin C has been known—for 40 or 50 years—to

reduce cholesterol levels. That is not news. The reason

most of us have high cholesterol—which means high

plaque levels in the blood, veins and arteries—is that the

liver produces low density cholesterol (LDL), then it sends

it out to patch up arteries so we don’t die of internal

bleeding. That low density cholesterol builds up over the

years and becomes plaque. Eventually, it clogs the arteries

and we go into a condition of stroke.

When you start consuming vitamin C in the right

electrical pattern, you are supporting the body’s ability

to build collagen. As the collagen restructures arteries

and veins, plaque is released from the walls of the

arteries. Cholesterol levels go up at first. Then they go

down. The plaque build-up on your arteries goes down.

Your liver stops producing LDL, because you now have

collagen to build tissue.

Augmenting your nutritional program with high-quality,

plant-based enzymes help the body grab stray protein

profiles (plaque), digest them in the bloodstream and

deliver them to the liver, which eliminates them from your

body. All the tools are here for a clean and well-fed

body . . . which means this condition may disappear,

as it has in many cases.



Please do not be overwhelmed with all the

technical jargon. Simply upgrade your lifestyle and

eating habits. Couple that with supplements that

mimic natural creation and you've got a winning

combination. And who knows, maybe you'll be

the next to live your own success story!
