Introduction
YOU Have the Power for a
Perfect Heart!
eart disease is currently the #1 cause of death in the United
H States. Despite the increasing sophistication of surgical
techniques and the introduction of new techniques such as
balloon angioplasty and a number of new prescription drugs,
the world is losing the war on heart disease.
Every 26 seconds someone in America dies prematurely
from heart disease. That’s more than one million people a year
who might have enjoyed a rich, full life had they known what
to do to prevent heart disease.
Today, we have very high, sophisticated medical science
called cardiology. Doctors are highly trained in a medical
system called cardiology. And, too, we have very highly
educated and skillful heart surgeons.
The prestige and pay of this profession is probably unexcelled
in the world. Few professionals in society carry such admiration
and acclaim among their peers and the general public.
There is absolutely no question about the professionalism or
medical expertise of cardiologists and heart surgeons in the
public mind. This state of mind amounts to a medical religion
unchallenged and unchallengeable. Any small isolated excep-
tions are meaningless. It is safe to say that “everybody” is

are 25 years old or older, you have the early stages of heart
disease. I am sorry.
If everyone would help their heart, they would collapse the
empire of fraud, deceit, and money called modern medicine
which, at best, is symptomatic relief.
Wellness is a natural state of nature. Wellness is a result of
pure food, water, and air. Yet when we get sick, we go to the
doctor, who begins immediately injecting drugs which are
unnatural toxins to the body. There is no mystery about all
this. It’s just common sense. It’s just that we have been
re-educated into medical foolishness.
If you help your heart, you will be helping your total
health. Nutrition for the heart will greatly help the whole
body. How exciting and how simple!
What’s more, if you have some form of heart disease, you
can help yourself and you will know the difference and in
most cases in a very few days. Be patient. You didn’t get sick
in a day so it may take a few days or weeks for some people
to feel the difference. When you start to recover your healthy
heart, your doctor may take you off of some drugs. I hope so.
You will find eye-opening information in this heart health
report to help you make the right choices for a healthy lifestyle
and avoid the risks and dangers associated with heart disease.
Don’t become another statistic… or another body in the
emergency room succumbing to what big pharma and
money-hungry physicians THINK you should do.

many toxic drugs are over the counter. Do you see this ruse
that almost nobody questions?
The FDA sidesteps the efficacy of folic acid by publishing
a puny list of foods that contain minute amounts of folic
acid, provided they are not cooked. They throw out a crumb,
presenting it as the real thing. And they know full well that
if they limit the strength of folic acid supplements that this
conditions the public to believe that this is all that is necessary.
This 800-microgram size limitation alone should tell
us clearly that we need to consume much more, perhaps
5,000 micrograms or 5 mgs a day, at least that’s what many
studies suggest. It can be bought freely in other countries in
5-milligram (5,000 microgram) size. What about the real
and powerful benefits of folic acid in heart health?
In 1968, Dr. Kilmer McCully discovered the relationship
between homocysteine and arteriosclerosis. Dr. McCully
had learned about homocystinuria, a newly discovered
disease, at a medical conference. He found that mentally
retarded youngsters had often been found to have chemical
homocysteine in their urine. These children died from a
condition indistinguishable from hardening of the arteries
in the elderly.
Researchers found homocysteine also in the blood of
adults. The question in Dr. McCully’s mind was, does the
level of the chemical homocysteine in the blood correlate
with hardening of the arteries? Is it possible that the fat and
cholesterol deposits seen in arteriosclerotic arterial plaques
are only secondary accretions after homocysteine has already
done the damage? The answer is yes, and in 1969 he
announced the homocysteine theory of heart disease.
According to Dr. McCully’s discovery, taking just three
low-cost, zero-risk nutrients would support cardiovascular
function and enable the average person to live to age 90

same pathway.
The good news is that consumption of 100 to 200 mgs
per day of CoQ10 will reverse CoQ10 depletion induced by
statins. At least one cholesterol drug manufacturing company
has admitted to this widespread problem with statin drugs.
Numerous human and animal studies have conclusively
shown that cholesterol (statin) drugs interfere with the
body’s production of CoQ10, a vital vitamin antioxidant
involved in cellular energy production and normal heart
muscle function.
There is particular depletion in seniors of CoQ10 when
statins are taken at higher doses. Doctors are getting more
aggressive at prescribing higher and higher dosages of
statin drugs, with corresponding higher and higher deple-
tion of CoQ10 increasing the likelihood of impairment in
heart-muscle function.
If you take a cholesterol-lowering drug, you should take
extra CoQ10. It won’t affect the action of the cholesterol
drug but will greatly improve heart function.
CoQ10 is a nutrient, but in practice it is near impossible
to obtain therapeutic quantities of CoQ10 from the diet,
most especially if one is on statin drugs. CoQ10 supple-
mentation will guarantee adequate levels.
In cardiovascular health, CoQ10 is valued by many
alternative physicians for helping angina, high blood
pressure, and congestive heart failure. Symptoms such as
fluid retention, shortness of breath, palpitations, sweating,
subjective arrhythmia, purple skin color, and nighttime
urination were checked for improvement. Overall there
was significant improved quality of life.
A six-year study at the University of Texas found that
sufferers of congestive heart failure who took CoQ10 in

The Relationship
Between Heart Disease
And Blood Clots
The Blood Thinner Cure
Do we survive a heart attack most of the time because
the doctor immediately puts us on a blood thinner?
Kenneth R. Kensey, M.D., cardiologist says in his book,
The Blood Thinner Cure, that our blood gets thicker as we
get older. The heart has to pump harder, forcing up blood
pressure. The sheer force of the blood pressure pumping
dangerously thick blood continuously injures the arteries
with each beat. This problem results in atherosclerosis
and heart attack, or stroke.
Says Dr. Kensey: “I’ll show that all the risk factors for
atherosclerosis have one common denominator—your
heart is working too hard because of thickened, sticky
blood, what I call ‘the sludge factor.’ The result is injury
to the artery lining that leads to clogging. The constant
process of mechanical injury to the arteries eventually
leads to stiffening and thickening and the formation of
plaque.”
Here now is a very important question for heart doctors
posed by Dr. Kensey: “If diet and lifestyle alone cause
atherosclerosis artery damage, then why don’t the arteries

take at least garlic and fish oil/cod liver oil daily, and eat
fish you will be way safer than those who don’t. Fish oil or
cod liver oil, at least a tablespoon a day. According to one
study, 6 tablespoonfuls daily would keep your blood from
clotting at all.
You may notice that you bruise slightly or have some
capillary fragility, slight bleeding spots. This is only a
symptom of thin blood. I have seen many people with dark
blue hands from prescription Coumadin® (rat poison in my
opinion). I like cod liver oil from Carlson, both the liquid
and the capsules. If anything, it tastes good.
In my experience, I have seen men weighing 350 to 400
pounds, who really you would think should be expired, but
they were all big fish eaters and none of these goliath peo-
ple had heart disease—including cardiac arrhythmias or
ventricular fibrillation.
Gingko is an excellent platelet anti-
clotting nutrient. Studies show that
gingko is helpful for Alzheimer’s
disease, for poor memory and
impaired circulation. The usual
dose is 40 to 80 milligrams,
two to three times daily.
Niacin (B3) is another
effective platelet buster—
use the time release or
inositol hexaniacinate,
500 to 600 milligrams,
twice daily as a sugges-
tion.
L-arginine dilates
arteries which enables
blood to flow freely.

But it has been proven many times over that dietary fat has
no effect on serum cholesterol or serum fat. In fact, good
saturated fats are essential! My friends, fat does not create
fat in the body as cholesterol. Transfatty acids do accumu-
late as waste, but this is another point.
Sugar or sweeteners (except Stevia) cause insulin levels
to rise precipitously. The more rapid the absorption of
sugar, the higher the glycemic index, and the more insulin
is produced. A high-carbohydrate (sugars) diet is a big
contributor to heart disease, because over time, the body
becomes insulin-resistant, and this causes the speed-up of
acid accumulation waste. By the time we reach 40, acid
accumulation is ready to become heart disease as well as
cancer and diabetes. Sugar is a killer but doctors don’t talk
about the sugar disease in America. Of course not! That
would mean less profit in their already oversized pockets!
