The Book Of THoTH

Long, long ago it was explained to me that cholesterol was the body’s firefighter. When cardio-vascular tissue becomes damaged cholesterol is produced to repair it. All manner of different densities of cholesterol are produced because different densities are required for depth of muscle tissue penetration.

The cardio-vascular system is a muscle system. The heart and blood vessels are essentially three layers of bias-ply muscle … just like a radial tire and also similar to those big six-pack abdominal muscles or even the bowel. Cholesterol is deliberately produced by the body in response to vascular damage.

So what do the medicos say? Increased cholesterol correlates with increased vascular damage therefore cholesterol must be bad; lower it and the damage must lower, too. This is proven because healthy, damage-free people having lower levels of cholesterol. Piffle!

Many people who feel perfectly healthy suffer from high cholesterol--in fact, feeling good is actually a symptom of high cholesterol!

Doctors who treat this new disease must first convince their patients that they are sick and need to take one or more expensive drugs for the rest of their lives, drugs that require regular checkups and blood tests. But such doctors do not work in a vacuum--their efforts to convert healthy people into patients are bolstered by the full weight of the US government, the media and the medical establishment, agencies that have worked in concert to disseminate the cholesterol dogma and convince the population that high cholesterol is the forerunner of heart disease and possibly other diseases as well.


Late-Breaking Cholesterol News

Researchers at the Tulane University School of Medicine used electron beam tomography (EBT) to measure the progression of plaque buildup in heart-attack patients taking statin drugs. EBT is a very accurate way to measure occlusion from calcium in the arteries. Contrary to expectations, the researchers discovered that the progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) was significantly greater in patients receiving statins compared with event-free subjects despite similar levels of LDL-lowering. Said the researchers: "Continued expansion of CAC may indicate failure of some patients to benefit from statin therapy and an increased risk of having cardiovascular events (Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, April 1, 2004).

Doctors have discovered that injections of a certain substance can reverse heart disease in some patients. The therapy has helped reduce the amount of plaque in the arteries, thereby negating the need for angioplasty and open heart surgery. That substance is HDL-cholesterol (www.ivanhoe.com/newsalert, March 1, 2004).

The Melbourne Women’s Midlife Health Project measured cholesterol levels annually in a group of 326 women aged 52-63 years. During the eighth annual visit, subjects took a test that assessed memory. They found that higher serum concentrations of LDL-cholesterol and relatively recent increases in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were associated with better memory in healthy middle-aged women (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2003;74:1530-1535.)

A guy who was helping my family with some health issues said many interesting things. One was that the medication for "high" cholesterol is very dangerous, FAR more than cholesterol could be. He quit being a "doctor" because he could not stand being part of the ruse. We are told incredible lies.

Do not drink grapefruit juice whilst on cholesterol lowering meds!!!!!!!

Do not drink grapefruit juice whilst on cholesterol lowering meds!!!!!!!

Hi I was on Lip*tor for about a week, I felt horrible that whole week..
I have since found out that grapefruit juice does exactly the same thing....
WARNING Do not drink grapefruit juice whilst on cholesterol lowering meds!!!!!!!

Actiually I'm surprised everyone does not know this. Grapefruit juice enhances the effects of ANY drug you take...wheteher over the counter or prescribed. And not for the good............

INTERACTIONS OF GRAPEFRUIT WITH MEDICATIONS
Grapefruit has become an important part of breakfast. Many people have been attracted to grapefruit because of its cholesterol-lowering abilities and its reported benefits against cancer. However, what is not known, is the possible interaction of grapefruit with many prescription medications. Grapefruit interacts with many cholesterol-lowering drugs, antihistamines, psychiatric medications, and others. In some cases, the results are fatal. The victims may suffer from severe, elevated side reactions that is not normally observed when the drug is administered in prescribed doses. Because of this, the role of grapefruit in initiating this condition may not be known and the health care givers may assign other causes. We will examine the mechanism in which the grapefruit interacts with prescription medications. We will also look into clinical evidences.

For almost forty years, the lipid hypothesis or diet-heart idea has dominated medical thinking about heart disease. In broad outlines, this theory proposes that when we eat foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, cholesterol is then deposited in our arteries in the form of plaque or atheromas that cause blockages. If the blockages become severe, or if a clot forms that cannot get past the plaque, the heart is starved of blood and a heart attack occurs.

Many distinguished scientists have pointed to serious flaws in this theory, beginning with the fact that heart disease in America has increased during the period when consumption of saturated fat has decreased. "The diet-heart idea," said the distinguished George Mann, "is the greatest scam in the history of medicine."And the chorus of dissidents continues to grow, even as this increasingly untenable theory has been applied to the whole population, starting with lowfat diets for growing children and mass medication with cholesterol-lowering drugs for adults.

But if it ain't cholesterol, what causes heart disease?........

It has been said here that grapefruit is good for/combats cholestrol, yet adversely affects the performamce of meds taken at the same time ......... am I correct here ?

It is a powerful drug-poison eliminator

Pfeiffer’s Law

We have found that if a drug can be found to do the job of medical healing, a nutrient can be found to do the same job. When we understand how a drug works, we can imitate its action with one of the nutrients. For example, antidepressants usually enhance the effect of serotonin and epinephrines. We now know that if we give the amino acids tryptophan (increased with niacin supplementation) or tyrosine, the body can synthesize these neurotransmitters, thereby achieving the same effect and imitating or adding to the net effect of these drugs. Nutrients have fewer, milder side effects, and the challenge of the future is to replace or sometimes combine drugs with the natural healers called nutrients.[1434]

Current emphasis on cholesterol as agency if not cause of human atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease ignores the essentiality of cholesterol in life processes. Additionally ignored is the ubiquitous presence of low levels of oxidized cholesterol derivatives (oxysterols) in human blood and select tissues, oxysterols also implicated in atherosclerosis. Whereas such oxysterols may be regarded putatively as agents injurious to the aorta, an alternative view of some of them is here proposed: that B-ring oxidized oxysterols of human blood represent past interception of blood and tissue oxidants in vivo by cholesterol as an ordinary aspect of oxygen metabolism. Such interception and subsequent efficient hepatic metabolism of oxysterols so formed, with biliary secretion and fecal excretion, constitute as in vivo antioxidant system.

Some research indicates that cholesterol may act as an antioxidant. [4] Cholesterol also aids in the manufacture of bile (which is stored in
