heart disease by itself. The chelation treatments that are effective incorporate a supplement program which includes vitamin C. people is a coenzyme Q10 deficiency. This vitamin-like coenzyme is required in our fuel cells, the mitochondria, in order to manufacture the body's fuel, adenine triphosphate (ATP). Several other vitamins are required for the human body to pro- duce its own CoQ10, and humans are known to synthesise less CoQ10 as we age. Scores of prescription drugs, and in fact all the cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, block the body's production of CoQ10! Therefore, it can be accurately stated that these drugs, given to most heart patients, cause a form of heart disease: heart failure. The rate of heart failure has tripled, and CoQ10 experts cite studies which attribute this increase to higher dosages of statins (see http://www.dogpile.com/info.dogpl.toolbar/search/ web/an%2Bepidemic%2Bof%2Bheart%2B failure). The only recognised cure for heart failure is heart transplant. Forget Vioxx, Celebrex, Aleve, etc.: the statin drugs are an even bigger scandal. - Heart Attack Strong vitamin C/lysine-fortified arteries are less likely to rupture. If there is no rupture, there will be no clot. If there is no clot, there will be no heart attack caused by a blockage of blood to the heart. World Health Organization researchers have discovered that low-serum vitamin E is a 70 per cent better predictor of heart attack than either hypertension (high blood pressure) or high cholesterol (see http://www.acgraceco.com/studies/unstudy.html). Also, K. K. Teo and others have discovered that a magnesium injection immediately after a heart attack saved 55 per cent of those who would have died (a placebo-controlled trial; see http://www. internetwks.com/pauling/jon.html and British Medical Journal 303:1499-1503, 1991). - High Blood Pressure/Hypertension Normally, blood pressure elevates during times of stress (fight = Congenital Heart Defects and Heart Damage or flight) for short periods.

Such a reversal occurred in three months (see Pauling's therapy is an effective treatment for hypertension, as http://www. internetwks.com/carolsmith). are other nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin B6, the amino acid arginine and several other orthomolecular approaches. - Cardiology: A Real Nightmare Scenario Health journalist Bill Sardi believes that 200 mg of vitamin B6 is Heart patients have the right to be highly sceptical or even fear- more effective than many prescription drugs for hypertension (see _ ful of their cardiologist.

With the exception of the nitroglycerine atch (see http://www.internetwks.com/owen/suppress. tm#NITRO), there are no standard heart medications or treat- ments that do help heart patients. (Nitroglycerine allows the body to create more nitric oxide, which dilates arteries for temporary relief of angina pain. Strangely, the FDA recently turned down an application for a new-style nitroglycerine patch; see ttp://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=18 335.) In our opinion, all prescription treatments, of which we are aware, make patients worse by blocking CoQ10 or by causing rapid calcification of soft tissues, by making blood clots more ikely or by raising blood pressure. Trusting patients are being taken advantage of. Heart surgery fails in 40-50 per cent of patients because the plaque quickly regrows (restenosis). According to Discovery Health Channel, almost 40 per cent of patients on a heart-lung machine suffer cognitive dysfunction. This is one reason former US President Bill Clinton underwent a "beating heart"-style heart bypass operation which does not utilise a heart-lung machine. Calcified Arteries Many heart patients have hard or calcified arteries. This condi- tion makes heart attack more likely because blood vessels are unable to dilate properly in the event of a clot or blockage. The most probable cause of excess calcium building up in the arteries of heart patients is the use of blood-thinners. These prescription medications either simulate or block vitamin K, and they are rou- tinely prescribed. There are over 200 Medline studies as evidence of our suspi- cion that this is a fact (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/ query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Display &dopt=pubmed_ pubmed&from_uid=9743228). High-dose vitamin K reduces calcium in soft tissues and is con- sidered a standard treatment for osteoporosis in Japan. The vita- min acts as a hormone and helps move calcium from soft tissues into bone (see http://www. lef.org/magazine/mag2000/feb00- report.html). Chelation doctors deserve great respect.
