Atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease are due to TWO complementary phenomena:
1) Elements of your life (many in your control) are damaging your arteries, leading to inflammation.
2) Your body is responding by repair.
In the process it lays down some fat. This is necessary to healing, because we are made of fat and protein.
Every functional tissue from:
-Static non-regenerative brain, to...
-Constantly replenished flowing blood
Has fat in it. Critical for repair.
However, the more you expose yourself to these inflammatory agents, you promote this cycle of damage + repair.
And the walls start to remodel and thicken.
And you get atherosclerosis.
Then, a stroke or heart attack can be brought on by simple dehydration or a cold.
Now, we get to the good part.
"Standard of Care" has resulted in a vast majority of the population taking Statins.
A drug that blocks production of hormones for communication.
Blocks production of fats integral for hundreds if not thousands of proteins.
A drug that is prescribed if you simply have high cholesterol.
No illness, no heart attacks, no cardiovascular complications of any sort.
The healing element of your body is being imprisoned.
We wonder why chronic disease continues to rise.
Instead, you can focus on what matters:
Stop damaging your body in the first place.
This should be the goal of any good provider.
Often times, this damage is due to recommendations from entities that claim to have your best interest at heart.
No pun intended.
