The overall concept of this DIY plan to cure ischaemic cardiovascular disease is simple enough:

1. Stop damaging your artery walls
2. Repair and strengthen your artery walls

Achieving these 2 goals will allow your body to remove the blood-flow-reducing plaque build-up inside your artery walls, that it laid down as an inflammatory response against damage by various offending mechanisms, as a temporary repair measure to prevent you from bleeding out.

This natural “fix” requires a dedicated, all-around approach to attend to factors contributing to the chronic damage / inflammation of your arterial walls.

And FYI:- Cholesterol and saturated fat are NOT the “Darth Vader” of ischaemic CVD

• Follow NEWSTARTS plan. Attend to diet, lifestyle and emotional state – Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Thoughts, Air (oxygen), Rest, Trust God, Sex.
• Consume sufficient dietary antioxidants. Mainly vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and CoQ10, also phytonutrient polyphenols and carotenoids in fruits and vegetables. These are used to counter damaging oxidants from all sources. Antioxidant-supporting trace minerals include selenium (in brazil nuts), zinc (in pumpkin seeds), manganese, copper, iron. Eat more of the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich fresh fruits / vegetables and polyphenol-rich spices (ginger, cinnamon, garlic, turmeric, red pepper).
• Consume more omega-3 fat.   Today’s “Holy Grail” of health. Anti-inflammatory O3 from oily fish, fish oil supplements, flax or chia seed, walnuts;
• Add omega-6 GLA fats from evening primrose, blackcurrant or borage oil) provides anti-inflammatory DGLA fat
• Avoid Body “invaders”   Infective microbes, toxins from various sources (pesticides, herbicides, smoking, drugs, artificial sweeteners etc.) unnatural electromagnetic fields, chlorinated water +++
• Avoid Toxic fats.  Especially found in processed foods, restaurant fare, and typical grocery-store unsaturated vegetable oils, more so when used for frying.
• Reduce sugar intake.  Glycation occurs when sugar reacts with proteins or fats in the bloodstream forming damaging AGE’s (Advanced glycation end-products), involved in many diseases.  
• Minimize meat / dairy consumption.  Homocysteine (amino acid abundant in red meat and dairy products, especially cheese) is worsened by B-vitamin deficiency, particularly B6, B9 and B12.
• Avoid An overly-acid-forming diet.   Vegetables and fruit are mostly alkaline-forming (especially watermelon and lemons!) Meat, dairy, nuts, alcohol are mostly acid-forming.
• Reduce Stress.  Oxidants are introduced via emotional / physical trauma.
• Boost immune system

Treat chronic inflammation

Repair / Strengthen the arterial walls –

Supply sufficient dietary Vitamin C to make collagen. This binding connective tissue molecule, comprised of vitamin C, and the amino acids proline and lysine, provides integrity for the artery walls (also bone, tendons, ligaments, skin) and decreases significantly with age.

Guavas, oranges and kiwis are your best natural sources of vitamin C. However, Nobel prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling recommended adults take at least 3g vitamin C / day (i.e. which requires taking a supplement). More recent research suggests no more than 2g / day for general maintenance, dosed according to personal needs.

“Vitamin C Fix” 

The best way to obtain sufficent vitamin C is by drinking the delicious and refreshing daily:

The Rath-Pauling therapy is a cheap, high-dose therapy to help those who already have or suspect CVD, supplementing a higher dose for a limited time – at least 5 or 6 g vitamin C including at least 2g of the amino acid lysine each day.
