Triglycerides: The Real Fat That Can Kill You

New blood fat heart disease
I am not sure where medicine or these alleged researchers have been burying their heads in the sand but I've known about the impact of triglycerides for a hell of a long time.

I've also known that the problem with the rapid rise in cardiovascular dis-ease began rising in the mid to late 1950s when the dairy industry began homogenizing milk.

The problem with homogenization is that the fat globules become so small that they flow by osmosis through the digestive system directly into the blood stream.

Now they want to make you believe that this is a "new" blood fat. And yes it is different than cholesterol, which generally is not known to kill you.

Since I've known about this from college studies in medicine and nutrition, about 45 years has whistled by.

Things must be pretty dusty in the brains of mainstream medicine.

New blood fat heart disease link
A type of blood fat different from cholesterol may play a key role in heart disease, a study suggests.
Cambridge University researchers looked at the role of triglycerides, which is produced in the liver and derived from foods such as meat and dairy products.
The analysis of 350,000 people from 101 previous studies found those with higher levels of the blood fat were more likely to have heart disease.
But experts warned more research was needed to confirm the link.

The analysis centred on a specific gene which is known to influence the levels of triglycerides, the Lancet medical journal reported.

“ It could yet prove to be an important step towards tackling cardiovascular disease but we mustn't get ahead of ourselves ”

Previous research has looked into the issue, but has been inconclusive.
But the latest study found those with the variation in the gene which boosted triglyceride levels had an 18% greater risk of heart disease than those that did not.
Lead researcher Dr Nadeem Sarwar said the findings suggested the blood fat could be causing heart disease in some way.
But he added further research involving the lowering of the levels of the blood fat was now needed to confirm the suspicion.
"Such trials should help establish whether lowering triglyceride levels can reduce the risk of heart disease."
Mike Knapton, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "It could yet prove to be an important step towards tackling cardiovascular disease but we mustn't get ahead of ourselves.
"There still needs to be larger trials before we can know whether lowering triglyceride levels can reduce heart disease risks.
"For now, people should continue to follow advice on diet, exercise, stopping smoking and medication which are still the best ways to tackle your heart disease risk."
Dr Sonia Anand, of Canada's McMaster University, agreed.
"The true nature of triglycerides effect on coronary risk still needs further clarification."

Natural Cures for Clinton's Maladies

Now that we have been bombarded with Bill Clinton's health status for the last two days, I wonder just how many people won't get the kind of health care he has had during this time. It is something to think about as AP's Marilynn Marchione, AP Medical Writer, writes that he "...has a new lease on life, but there's no cure for the heart disease that has twice forced the former president to get blocked arteries fixed."

Clinton's taking anti-clotting medication which has long term problems of its own and he was admonished for stopping cholesterol medication. Of course it wasn't considered that cholesterol medication doesn't do too much for atherosclerosis, and nutritional depletion from the drugs was not even mentioned.

There may be no medical cure, but certainly we know that nature cures.

In case Bill reads this while he's recovering in Chappaqua, he'd do well to research the benefits of garlic, cayenne, vitamins B-C-E, and lecithin and how these natural supplements would actually lead to better prevention and cure.

We'd like his doctors to do the same.

I found this comment on a web site addressing the problems associated with a diabetes drug, Avandia, known to cause cardiovascular health problems.

The information in the comment is so very important that I am posting it here for all to see and share with others.

Thank you John Payne, whoever you are and where ever you are.

If it were not such a serious health situation, I would be amused at the time and money that is spent on research into cardio-vascular disease and related syndromes.

The answer to all and I mean all of the syndrome X afflictions is very simple. But because doctors and drug companies cannot patent it, the information has received little public exposure despite the fact that a U.S. patent was issued for it and one of the developers of the process was a double Nobel prize winner.

I refer of course to Linus Pauling and his documented research in to the use of Vitamin C, L lysine and L proline as a cure for arteriosclerosis etc.

I am living proof that it works: 6 GMS of each item per day split into two doses, once in am and again 12 hours later. It works, and it is sad to think that because nobody can now patent the process or make any money from the research, etc., that millions of people will die, without knowing the answer is already available. I challenge you to post the information after you have verified of course and I shall watch to see if you really are worth reading.

Sincerely,
John Payne
