Stop America's # 1 Killer!...Heart Disease
Dr. Levy's Book "Stop America's # 1 Killer! Reversible Vitamin Deficiency Found To Be Origin Of All Coronary Heart Disease" is the de facto support for Drs. Irwin Stone/Linius Pauling vitamin C seminal work: regarding Vitamin C deficiency in humans and its relation to disease. A most comprehensive look at all known risk factors for heart disease are considered. While Vitamin C in itself, in sufficient quantities, and on its own may reduce heart disease, other co factors and their role are all potentiated with it. In fact without vitamin C efforts to reduce and or reverse heart disease is simply not possible!
The book provides exhaustive explanation on the mechanisms involved and expands considerably on the original work postulated by Pauling et al. providing direct support for the Pauling/Rath protocol. See patents imbedded in
"Orthomolecular Solutions to Heart Disease".Levy clearly demonstrates why Pauling, in three case reports had such dramatic response to the said protocol (unlike poor to non extant response from drugs). While this may not be considered a sufficiently large sample size, the dramatic response is contrary to the marginal results found in traditional large sample sizes so revered in drug research. Such practice is in fact a clear indication of searching for a needle in a haystack; in that more often then not these huge sample sizes are needed just to show any effect! Clearly demonstrating the poor response of non nutrient based therapies. Why vitamin C and supporting nutrient therapy works is aptly described in the book. Unlike drugs this therapy provides the very building blocks that are needed by the body to heal itself; there simply is just no way of getting around this basic fact. No one has a deficiency of Drugs!
Inability to obtain vitamin C from our foods is further exasperated with the escalation of toxins in our food were soon, due to soil depletion and genetic modification the pesticides and other toxins may actually surpass mineral content, not to mention the direct assault form the increasing chemicals in our environment. Further many foods due to long storage and transportation times, not to mention processing, are already depleted of Vitamins particularly C in some cases up to 70%!
"In almost every case, the cause of low vitamin C levels in the arterial linings is a significant daily toxin exposure. These toxins keep neutralizing (oxidizing) the body's stores of vitamin C making the maintenance of active (reduced or non-oxidized) vitamin C levels in the various tissues of the body virtually impossible."
The the discussion on the protective role of cholesterol and the futility of reducing it via drugs is a breath of fresh air. This is in sharp contrast to current primitive understanding and practice (or should I say mal practice?) of heart disease. In fact reducing cholesterol without addressing its cause is not only stupid but downright negligent given the data in the literature and that presented here. This and all other known co factors such as high blood pressure, inflammation etc. are thoroughly discussed.
The role of vitamin C is pivotal in that it is endemic to all diseases and cannot simply be restricted to heart disease alone. Hence, its absence is directly related to many other diseases such as diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, infections etc. All these are discussed particularly in their relation to heart disease.
"So, prepare to be amazed, especially if you are a health care practitioner who has always felt that atherosclerosis is largely an unstoppable and steadily progressive disease. It is not. An objective review of the available scientific evidence demonstrates otherwise. Turn an abnormal coronary angiogram into a normal one. What is now considered a rare but theoretically possible occurrence can now become an expected outcome."
One shortcoming of almost all scientific evidence is the generally low doses of vitamin C used. Imagine what could be achieved if sufficiently high doses were used?
The book ends with a comprehensive protocol for the prevention and reversal of atherosclerosis. Finally we now hold the recipe to nearly wipe out most diseases if not all! An outstanding book. A must read.
