THE CARDIOVASCULAR CURE

The Cardiovascular Cure by John P. Cooke, M.D., Ph.D.,
and Judith Zimmer Published in 2002
How to Strengthen Your Self-Defense Against Heart Attack and Stroke.

In 1982, after 50 years of research, Dr. Cooke received the Nobel Prize for the discovery of a prostaglandin that is called prostacyclin. In his study of how the cells work he discovered it relaxes blood vessels. The definition of atherosclerosis = athero (paste) and scleroses (hardness). Nitric Oxide slows plaque growth and suppresses artherosclerosis.

Dr. Cooke goes deeply into the cardiovascular system explaining to us how everything works. Offering a Nutritional Program, he continues with The Lion Heart Study and DASH Study for healthy eating and weight loss -- if you are overweight. He offers a two-week regime with recipes to assist in following a healthy eating program. Many recipes are compiled for 4 to 8 persons. He recommends a 1800 calorie diet per day: 50% calories from carbohydrates, 20% calories from protein, and 30% calories from mono and poly unsaturated fats. He then gives the properties including breakdown of foods, that when eaten with his recipes [with further advice on exercise and aerobics] will bring excellent health. He recommends a two year plan minimum; continuing there after is best for your health.

Seven million red blood cells can fit into a thimble! The endothelium is significant to blood vessel health. It is the proverbial "silver lining". Endothelium can be repaired and healthy endothelium prevents or reverses atherosclerosis. Nitric Oxide is needed to repair endothelium.

Research teams at Mayo Clinic found a 60% reduction in angina symptoms using L-Arginine. This improved the symptoms within one week. L-Arginine enhances Nitric Oxide production.
Nitric Oxide is 100% natural. It is a very potent mediator of blood vessel relaxation and inhibition of platelet clumping. It is the simplest messenger, as a gas, and will diffuse freely through cell membranes.

He opens his book with the statement, nature takes much better care of blood vessels than do drugs. He then speaks about many doctors that have led in developing and studying the cardiovascular system. Although the news cautions about too much cholesterol, Dr. Cooke states, Cholesterol is essential for life, a building block for cell membranes and sex hormones.

Dr. Cooke has designed a program for endothelial health with advancements in information learned over the past 20 years. This program is a 'natural way' to restore vessel health in people, young or old, healthy or ill. Healthy persons will maintain and enhance their health and protect themselves from vascular disease. If you are at risk, it will restore the health of your vessels. If perhaps, you have already had vascular disease, even already had a heart attack, this program will help repair your blood vessels, prevent another heart attack or stroke, and enhance the heart medicines that your doctor recommends, if any are needed.

In the 1970's scientists began to uncover the mystery of how nitroglycerine works.
Nitroglycerin [which has been used for years for angina pain and other heart conditions] has a caution. Dr. Cooke tells us that using prolonged nitroglycerin can damage the ability of your vessels to produce their own supply of Nitric Oxide.

It was found that nitroglycerine released Nitric Oxide that caused a chain reaction, resulting in relaxed muscle tissue or EDRF. Dr. Ferid Murad, University of Virginia and Stanford University studied Dr. Alfred Nobel theories. Then, Dr. Robert Furchgatt -a pharmacologist, State University of New York Brooklyn, gave the defination of EDRF as - endothelium derived relaxing factor. Later Dr. Furchgatt and Dr. Louis Ignarro - University of California-LA, provided evidence that EDRF and Nitric Oxide were the same molecule!

In Dr. Cooke's ride on a red blood cell , see pgs 14-16, he describes why plaque is formed inside the vessels. I will give it an undoctor try...
L-arginine supplementation reduces the stickiness of platelets and white blood cell in people with high cholesterol. Plaque formation is caused by white blood cells battle with cholesterol.
Health risk factors impair the ability of the endothelium to make Nitric Oxide, which would reverse the sticky platelets. The circullating cholesterol in the blood gets trapped beneath the endothelium lining of the vessel and becomes oxidized. Oxidized cholesterol is a foreign material to the body; it is perceived to be an invader, something that must be removed. In their effort to fight the oxidized enemy, white blood cells adhere to the now sticky endothelium and penetrate into the vessel wall - to remove the enemy by gobbling it up. When you continue to eat fatty foods, the white blood cells in the vessel walls become swollen with fat and look like foam or pus. Inflamation is a factor. Then, the white blood cells send out a signal of distress for more white blood cells, which will make free radicals to destroy the enemy invader. It gets worse as the body sends platelets to stick and seal off tears that occur when the foam/pus ruptures...these cells then make scar tissue around the fatty accumulation inside the vessel. This debris obstructs the flow of blood. If this blockage continues, the individual suffers a heart attack. If the clot breaks off, it may clog elsewhere. These foam-pussy cells can litter the smooth surface of the endothelium. Nitric Oxide heals these cells. With Nitric Oxide there is no development of plaque and Nitric Oxide melts [gets rid of] plaque already there.

Therefore, eat right - using Dr. Cooke's 2 year food plan, walk at least 30 minutes a day, do some aerobics according to your age limits, gardening and house cleaning count as exercise [but not all that is needed], get the addition of Nitric Oxide, vitamins, amino acids, fiber, Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids, and minerals the body requires and have a better life with optimum health.

Don't forget to add Nitric Oxide to your diet to reverse any plaque that you may have in your vessels. Nitric Oxide is found in the product by Synergy entitled ProArgi9 Plus. You can obtain it by going to this web site and ordering. www.argi9health.com/allchristie

Finally, A healthy endothelium is, in essence, the Cardiovascular Cure!

STOP THE #1 KILLER OF AMERICANS

Book: Let's Stop The #1 Killer of Americans Today by Harry A. Elwardt, N.D., Ph.D.
Published in 2006 [Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease] www.argi9health.com/allchristie

Heart disease or cardiovascular disease has been the #1 killer for the past 80 years. 1,100,000 new Heart attacks occur each year in America.

This causes a financial burden of two billion dollars a day for surgery and repair.
50% of Americans die from a heart attacks or cardiovascular problems -- often called 'natural deaths'. 2600 persons per day or every 60 seconds a person dies. The first attack or symptom one can be their last one...causing a fatal heart attack. Heart disease is the primary or major contributing factor in 70% of all health related deaths.

What does the heart do? The heart beats during the average life span 2 1/2 billion times or more. Each beat while pumping expands or contracts 100,000 times per day. Each minute 4 to 6 quarts of blood travels through your body averaging 2000 gallons every 24 hours. The heart system is over 1000,000 miles long. It moves blood, fresh oxygen and nutrients from the lungs and into your body's tissues, then it takes the toxins or body waste products away from your body's tissues and into your elimination canals.

New research indicates 60% of grade school age children have at least one of the risk factors for cardio disease. During the Vietnam War, autopsies performed on 18-19 year old soldiers showed arteries equivalent to a 70 year old man in the late stages of cardiovascular disease. The doctors were shocked.

One-third of ALL adults have at least one type of cardiovascular disease. 52 million have high blood pressure; 12.5 million have heart disease; 4.5 million have experienced a stroke; 1 million have congenital cardiovascular defects, 500,000 suffer from congestive heart failure, then there are the other complications; i.e., high cholesterol, diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis, MS, alzheimer's, improves memory, improves wound healing, reduces ulcers, improves irritable bowel syndrome, improves kidney functions, improves asthma, improves muscle performance, improves aging by stimulating the pituitary gland to release human growth hormone, etc.

There have been over 69,000 published clinical studies on L-arginine. ProArgi9 Plus is a formulated product for improving health. Amino acids are identified as a natural product that helps bring better health. L-arginine facilitates the production of Nitric Oxide (NO) in the body.

On Pages 132-135 the author states -- the following pages of information on arginine are the most important information in this entire book. I recommend that you read it over and over until you grasp, with full understanding, the importance of this life saving information, provided by over 69,000 medically published clinical studies on the use of arginine.

In another book entitled, "The Arginine Solution" Doctors Robert Fried, Ph.D. and Woodson Merrell, M.D. stated the following: "In the field of medicine and health it is one of the revolutions of our time: The discovery that the amino acid arginine may be a 'magic bullet' for the cardiovascular system. Now, as the evidence mounts, including research that won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, more and more scientists and doctors see the extraordinary health benefits of increasing arginine intake. A virtual arterial cleanser, arginine helps eliminate blockage and maintains blood flow."

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that has shown promise in the prevention of arteriosclerosis. Arginine is the precursor for endothelium derived Nitric Oxide (EDNO). Three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1998 for discovering Nitric Oxide's role as a vasodilator (widens the blood vessels). ENDO is the most potent endogenous vasodilator known.

There is another book entitled, "The Cardiovascular Cure," by John Cooke, M.D., Ph.D. says This Molecule is Nitric Oxide, a substance so powerful that it can actually protect you from heart attach and stroke. Best of all, your body can make it on its own. [As you age the body's ability lessens] Nitric Oxide is your body's own built in, natural protection against heart disease. We now know that we have a choice regarding this disease. With a diet and lifestyle that channels the natural forces of the blood vessel, arteriosclerosis can be prevented, brought to a halt, and even reversed." He continues to say, when the inner lining of the blood vessels is healthy, cells don't stick, clots don't form, arteries don't harden, and you won't die from a heart attack or stroke. It is just that simple!

Of course, it is known that a low-fat diet is recommended for preventing heart disease. One may also be encouraged to eat a Mediterranean diet, with added fiber of 30 grams per day, plus plenty of fruits and vegetables. Walking and weight training 3 times per week is also good for your health.

The book continues to talk about the benefits of Nitric Oxide and Amino Acids to bring better health. The author talks about another book entitled "NO More Heart Disease or Stroke", by Dr. Louis Ignarro. Dr. Ignarro says this about arginine derived Nitric Oxide: "The power to lead an entirely new and healthier life is in your hands. Start boosting your Nitric Oxide production right away." "Even if you have high blood pressure, have suffered a heart attack, or are at high risk...You can beat the odds."

There are risk factors that cause arteriosclerosis, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high homo cysteine, alcohol, tobacco use, diabetes, aging, estrogen deficiency, fast foods high in trans fat, and even some prescription medication prescribed to treat many of these conditions - these lower the levels of Nitric Oxide in the blood. Harvard, Stanford and other Medical institution's have carefully documented how within days your endothelium can rapidly recover, simply by increasing the body's Nitric Oxide production. This is where ProArgi9 Plus supplement program aids your body.

Dr. Salvador Monacada of England announced that Nitric Oxide (an amino acid) during medical studies has proven it will relax, widen, and soften the blood vessels. reverse hardening of the arteries, increase blood flow throughout the body, overcome high blood pressure, and inhibit and melt away plaque -- preventing and reversing artherioslcerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease.

Dr. Johnathan S. Stamler, a professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center, said: "It does everything everywhere. You cannot name a major cellular response or physiological effect in which Nitric Oxide is not implicated today. It's involved in complex behavioral changes in the brain, airway relaxation, beating of the heart, dilation of blood vessels, regulation of intestinal movement, function of blood cells, the immune system, even how fingers and arms move.

Dr. Stamler states for those who cannot eat the foods high in arginine, get your arginine through oral supplementation. This will begin to impact your health positively in a few short weeks.

Each health benefit is backed up by scientific research performed by some of the top medical scientists, in the top medical centers around the United States, and published in Medical Journals. The book lists references in the back, documenting each of the many clinical studies of arginine. A complete list of arginine benefits are listed on pages 135 through 137.
