According to the best available information that exists today, as far as I can tell anyway, you can protect yourself from CV disease by taking products that 1) reduce intra-arterial inflammation, thereby, lowering C-Reactive Protein levels, 2) lower fibrinogen levels, and thereby, the formation of arterial blood clots, and 3) lower homocysteine levels. Linus Pauling also believed that lowering the blood lipid lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is crucial to the prevention of plaque formation. Moreover, from what I am reading, cholesterol levels are NOT even players, nevermind key players, in the big picture of heart disease.
From my research, some excellent products that deseve mention in achieving the aforementioned are:
Samento (reduces inflammation, lowers C-Reactive Protein)
Wobenzyme (reduces inflammation, lowers C-Reactive Protein)
FYI (reduces inflammation, lowers C-Reactive Protein)
Nattokinase (enzyme that dissolves fibrin)
Serrapeptase (enzyme that reduces inflammation)
Garlic (acts like HDL)
B12 (lower Homocysteine)
B6 (lower Homocysteine)
Folic Acid (lower Homocysteine)
TMG (lower Homocysteine)
Vitamin C (>4grams/day) (Pauling's protcol)
L-Lysine (Pauling's protcol)
L-Proline (Pauling's protcol)
Most of these products are very cheap and all are easy to obtain. If anyone disputes this information, I'd love to hear why.
