Yes, I would like to know how to heal clogged arteries.

Though I believe that high blood sugar levels/blood sugar spikes contribute

to clogged arteries (and promote cancer growth and a million other

diseases).

What do you think are the best ways to prevent/heal clogged arteries?

(How can we prevent such oxidation?)

reduce vegetable oil intake and don't heat vegetable oils?

It's not the spikes, but chronically high blood sugar results in

glycation of proteins; " advanced glycation " accelerates oxidative

damage by up to a factor of 50. Many doctors call diabetes a disease

of accelerated aging because of the glycation.

Again this has little to do with cholesterol levels except that a

little more cholesterol is near by to experience that free radical

damage. And again, plaque was analysed to contain 74% unsaturated and

polyunsaturated food oils that are easily oxidized, the 26% balance

being debris, cholesterol, calcium, scar tissue, unoxidized trapped

saturated fat etc.

BlockBuster All Clear, which contains serrapeptase and nattokinase,

can restore microciculation in just days; some experienced this in

just 48 hours. Very useful in angina, heart disease and peripheral

arterial disease, blood coagulation and organ fibrosis, adhesions and

endometriosis.

Yes, reduce inflammatory vegetable oils, use EPA and DHA, make sure

your antioxidant levels, particularly glutathione, do not become

depleted. Also, as mentioned above, reduce carbs that cause the

inexorable glycation.

Avoid ALL hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils for

starters. Much easier said than done as many processed foods contain

these.

Use only coconut or palm oils for cooking.

Most importantly, coconut oil will clear clogged arteries. Take at

least 4 tbsp per day to unclog them and 1-2 tbsp per day as a

preventative.

A good source of info is " The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil " by

Bruce Fife. You will also find a mountain of info by googling

" coconut oil " + " atherosclerosis " .

[Guest guest]

, thanks for the reply, but atherosclerosis *reversal, far from a

mountain of data, did not come up at all with either a Google or a

PubMed search, although there was data that incidates atherosclerosis

*risk could be reduced with cococonut oil just as it is with fish oil.

That doesn't mean evidence for your claim does not exist at all, but

Bruce Fife cites facts, so if it's in his book I should have been able

to find his cite also in the peer-reviewed work. Can you please relate

the passage in his book and the reference he gives if there is one?

So far, the claim that coconut oil *reverses atherosclerosis is at

best a potentially dangerous marketing claim to make if untrue,

especially given the poor prognosis of untreated atherosclerosis.

Even treated, atherosclerosis reversal is elusive. This recent review

comments, " difficulties to determine unequivocally whether with a

given therapeutic intervention, such as diet, drugs, or apheresis, the

progression of lesions was curtailed or bona fide regression of

atherosclerotic lesions was achieved " , indicates the difficulty in

backing up such a claim; even with direct lipid-lowering

creations, " the extent of regression of lesions in the coronary

arteries was disappointingly low " . <

http://atvb.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/21/2/183 >

So, I propose a case for coconut in this role would be better stated

as:

Risk of creating atherosclerosis can be reduced with coconut and other

specific oils.

Coconut oil is very high in cholesterol. How does it clear clogged arteries?

Coconut oil, being a plant product, can not contain cholesterol,

and the short-chain and medium-chain triglycerides in it don't

require cholesterol to rise to transport it either.

So, coconut oil as a replacement oil has the effect of reducing

cholesterol levels.

I have read that coconut oil is also helpful for people with cancer to

take, and is a cancer preventative. Anyone else heard that?

I do not like the taste of coconut oil, but if it has such excellent

properties, I expect I could get used to it!
