DIETARY SUPLEMENTS

How to supplement your diet with essential nutrients.
For a number of years, the author has studied the effects of the following food and nutritional supplement programs, recommended to a large number of patients. They produced a striking and gratifying improvement in health levels and well-being. Also of greatest importance was the fact that they were found to be instrumental in lowering the cholesterol content of the blood and in reducing the amount of harmful blood fats.

The five-step program. Here are the five steps that patients were asked to follow:

1. Include daily as a food supplement at breakfast two to four tablespoonfuls of Lecithin extracted from soya beans.

2. Add to your diet each day B complex vitamins in the most potent form. Avoid the cheaper preparations which provide only small and ineffectual quantities of the vitamins, and have little or no effect on the body. Your doctor or druggist can advise you which brands provide potent quantities of the vitamins.

3. Also add to your daily diet at least 25,000 units of Vitamin A, and 150 mg. of vitamin C.

4. Take two tablespoonfuls of soya bean oil, corn oil or safflower oil daily to provide the essential fatty acid necessary to proper nutrition. The oil may be used as salad dressing, taken with tomato or fruit juice, or in any way you prefer.

5. Include in your diet two to four tablespoonfuls of whole wheat germ each day. This may be eaten as a breakfast cereal with fruit, or sprinkled in your salad.

I hope it helps

Another option to consider is Tahitian Noni Juice. There have been tremendous research done on this juice. It’s all natural and has no side effects, so it’s good for him to take along with his medication, in time, your husband may very likely see himself having to use less of his medication. But first, get informed. Here’s one of the ways it helps.. In a case study of 1,411 people with High Blood Pressure, 85%
percent of those people were helped by drinking Tahitian Noni Juice. I’ll give you the link where you can do your own research on it.

Coronary risk assessment is ascertained by taking into account clinical aspects like a family history of CAD, diabetes, renal failure, activity level, smoking etc. There are also laboratory risk factors which take into account LDL and HDL. One changes what they can (exercise, medication )and prayes for the rest (genetics). The high HDL and lowered LDL is what we all strive for. Is that enough?

There is no one single best answer or single large risk factor that outweighs all the others. There are expanded lipids panels such as the VAP that breaks lipid down into more risk factors not normally tested for. Some people get heart attacks with normal LDL cholesterol levels and such cases can be detected from such panels. The treatment is still basically the same but the risk is better assigned by such panels.

The treatments all involve statins and until better treatment modalities can be found then we have to continue to evaluate the benefit risk ratio taking a statin. There is still some contention involved with primary prevention studies and some argue they don’t do much in terms of preventing in large numbers heart disease cases. They argue that the absolute number of cases are small (absolute risk prevention is small) The company argues the relative risk prevention is higher. In reality the number it benefits are fewer than the large number of people taking them. That is due to the imprecise predictive nature of who will it benefit the most from them. We use a shotgun approach to treating all.
Until there are better predictors on who would benefit the most, then one is stuck with millions of people being on statins.

I think few would argue against a person having an outrageous cholesterol of being on a statin. In order to ascertain the overal risk then consider having a VAP test done along with ascertaining a family history of early deaths to due heart disease etc.
