Cardiovascular
One of the most common conditions that affect modern man is dysfunction or disease in the cardiovascular system i.e. heart, arteries, veins and blood. Why? What are we doing that is damaging this vital system?
Think about the cardiovascular system in the following way - imagine a vacuum that is pulling a liquid through a series of progressively smaller pipes. The heart is the vacuum (not a pump), the blood is being moved through the arteries after it has been oxygenated by the lungs. Then the blood is returned un-oxygenated through the veins. When the blood leaves the heart and goes through the large arteries progressively then into smaller and smaller arteries until they are so small that the blood is in contact with the cells where oxygen is released to provide the cell with the ability to produce energy. After the blood drops off the oxygen, it is returned through a procession of smaller to larger veins until it finally reaches the heart again and then is pushed into the lungs to repeat this cycle over and over. This is a simplistic understanding of the cardiovascular system.
At any point in this repetitive system, damage may occur, typically from inflammation. This damage is called cardiovascular disease. Whether the heart, arteries, veins or blood are damaged determines what we call the disease. Because this is a closed system, when one part is damaged it affects all the other parts. So whether we have heart disease or venous disease, it tells us where the issue is found, but the parts are all correlated.
In our experience, if we are able to determine the cause of an ailment, we will have the facilities to solve the problem through natural remedies. There are, however, always situations such as structural issues (i.e. heart valve damage, etc.) that must be addressed with surgery. As stated earlier, most of the issues in the cardiovascular system have to do with some type of inflammation. If you are able to determine where the inflammation is, you can solve the problem. It is important to note that cholesterol does not cause inflammation; it is rather an incredibly useful antioxidant that works to reduce inflammation. The war on cholesterol is unfounded, as is corroborated by the majority of reliable research. One such resource is “The Cholesterol Myths” by Dr. Uvve Ravnskov, which will certainly deconstruct the cultural narratives regarding cholesterol that you have been led to believe.
