THE BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONTROLLING HEART DISEASE


Copyright 2004 By Owen R Fonorow, Naturopath


"My confidence in the following protocol? 98%. It is 99.9% when vitamin C is administered close to patient bowel tolerance at regular intervals (at least 3 times) per day."

Cardiologist have been kept in the dark about the vitamin C connection. Few cardiovascular drugs benefit heart patients. Several exacerbate heart conditions and should be eliminated in favor of the following othomolecular protocols:



Take Vitamin C as ascorbic acid (or sodium ascorbate) up to bowel tolerance 6000 to 18,000 mg (6 to 18 g) daily. Half-life in blood stream is 30 minutes. Take 1/3 dosage at least 3 times daily with or before meals.

Take Lysine 2000 to 3000 mg (2 to 3 g) daily for prevention and 3000 to 6000 mg (3 to 6 g) daily for the greatest therapeutic value.

NEW: Eliminate man-made/processed fats, such as trans and hydrogenated fats, and supplement Omega-3 rich oils. "Research has shown that an Omega-3 Index of 8 percent to 10 percent reduces a person's relative risk of death from coronary heart disease by 40 percent, and from sudden cardiac death by 90 percent." This benefit probably results from restored insulin-mediated glucose/vitamin C uptake into cells. [See: Protocol for Reversing Diabetes Type II by Eliminating Hydrogenated and Trans Fats and adding Omega-3 oils... ]

Note: Following an Atkins-style diet will eliminate most trans fats because these "poisons" appear mostly in processed carbohydrate foods such as cookies, crackers, snacks, etc. Butter is vastly supperior to margarine. Natural saturated fats are vastly superior to any fats or oils processed for longer shelf life.

Take Proline from 250 mg to 2000 mg daily. (This factor added to Pauling's original protocol and recommended by Mathias Rath, may lower elevated Lp(a) within 6 to 14 months.)

Follow Linus Paulings heart and cardiovascular recommendations as provided in his book 1986 HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER

Linus Pauling's Basic Vitamin Program Includes


Vitamin E - 800 to 3200 iu
Vitamin A - 20,000 to 40,000 iu
Super B-Complex
Daily Multiple Vitamin/Mineral


Supplement Coenzyme Q10 (100 - 300 mg) (Note: High vitamin C and several vitamins will help stimulate your own synthesis of CoQ10 which is vital for proper heart function. Many prescription drugs block or interfere with your body's CoQ10 production.)

Supplement Magnesium (300 to 1500 mg)

Reduce supplemental Manganese (no more than 2 mg).(More than 20 mg daily can lead to irregular heart beats according to the USDA)

Manganese alters mitochodrial integrity in the hearts of swine marginally deficient in magnesium ... These results suggest that high Mn, when fed in combination with low Mg, disrupts mitochondrial ultrastructure and is associated with the sudden deaths previously reported.


NEW: Eliminate ordinary sugar and refined carbohydrates. New research confirms Dr. John Ely's 30-year theory that sugar (glucose) competes with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) for insulin-mediated uptake into cells. Consuming too much sugar and refined carbs can effectively crowd out Vitamin C.

Supplement the amino acids/nutrients Taurine, Arginine, Carnosine and Carnitine 1000 to 3000 mg daily (1 to 3 g).

Supplement Vitamin K (1 to 40 mg) to help regulate calcium from soft tissues into bones (Note: Prescription blood thinning drugs such as Warfarin and Coumadin interfere with vitamin K. These drugs should never be prescribed for heart patients. They have been proven to cause rapid calcification of soft tissues in animal studies[*] and there is evidence that they cause hard arteries in humans. Unfortunately, these drugs are routinely prescribed. Patients on "rat poison" style blood thinners should avoid vitamin K until they find a nutritionally oriented physician to help wean them. Blood thinning substitutes include 2000 IU Unique-E (from a. c. grace), arginine (3000 mg), grape seed extract, fish (Omega-3) oils, etc.)
