Heart Disease and Diet

Heart Disease

At the turn of the twentieth century, heart attack did not exist – this is according to the medical books. It is stated that at the time coronary thrombosis was not heard of. The first reported heart attack occurred in 1896. They didn’t have a name for it then. Some time later the journal of medicine write about this new and curios rare condition. They called it myocardial infarction.

Today half the population is at risk from cardiovascular disease. What has happened in over a hundred years that makes the picture so different? Could it be:

1. the consumption of transfats
2. the increase of dairy products
3. increased animal protein
4. cooked enzyme-less foods
5. exposure to chemicals, preservatives in foods
6. aluminium in deodorants, cans of drinks and foods
7. contamination of our water supply, not drinking enough clean water, chlorisation/fluoride in the drinking water
8. What about pharmaceutical drugs?
9. Increase in sugar, a most toxic and addictive substance found in 90% of our drinks and foods in a variety of quantities. Sugar also inhibits ionic mobility
10. Processed foods which change the nature of ratios of potassium to sodium – far too much salt is used in our food products today.

Each one of the above means the mix of anionic and cationic forces in our bodies becomes free in effect lowering our blood’s zeta potential. This clogs things up leading to cardiovascular stress – over 100 years ago this was not heard of. If heart disease is to be reversed there needs to be an understanding that everything that passes your lips has the potential to stress your system, especially if it comes from the above list as the accumulation starts in the body. A bit like a kettle getting furred up elements start to stick together. Clots then start to form. Now the trouble begins but note clots themselves do not cause heart attacks, the body can build natural by passes around them. The excess of animal protein stored in the interstitial of the heart muscles is the actual cause of the hear attack.

When excess protein is stored the results are a locally elevated acid level which kills the heart cells and the muscle inside. The dying cells are what is called a heart attack, which can be fatal.
