The Scurvy-Heart Disease Connection: Solution
to the Puzzle of Cardiovascular Disease
Stanford, California
May 4, 2002
I would like to congratulate Stanford University for addressing
the need for preventive and natural answers to the number one
cause of death in the industrialized world. I will present to
you the facts that atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes
are not diseases but the direct result of long-term vitamin deficiency.
And therefore they can be prevented by natural means, without
pharmaceutical drugs or surgical intervention.
Heart disease is an early form of the sailor’s
disease scurvy. In my presentation, I can only focus on the most
compelling evidence. For more details, I encourage you to visit
our research website.
All existing hypotheses of atherogenesis have one
problem in common - they defy human logic. The theory that high
cholesterol levels, oxidized LDL or bacteria damage the vascular
wall would lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques along
the entire vascular pipeline. Inevitably, peripheral vascular
disease would be the primary manifestation of cardiovascular disease.
This is clearly not the case.
It doesn’t require a degree from Stanford
or any other medical school – any layperson can solve the
Plumber’s riddle. The arteries, veins and capillaries in
our body are a pipeline that is 60,000 miles long. But this pipeline
fails in 90 percent of the cases at one specific spot: the coronary
arteries, with the length of only one billionth of the total vascular
pipeline. If bad water quality – for example, high cholesterol
– would cause damage to this pipeline, it would clog everywhere,
not just at one spot. Obviously, elevated cholesterol cannot be
the cause of coronary artery disease. |
