An article extracted from Tony Jones from OptimaEarth Labs on why we should not take Statins but advice from Dr Linus Pauling studies (Linus Pauling in the form of his “Unified Theory of Cardiovascular Disease”, released in the 1990s)
Summary
Pauling’s Scientific Findings:
FIRSTLY: Plaque deposits found in human aortas are made from a special form of cholesterol called Lipoprotein a or Lp(a), not from ordinary LDL cholesterol. Lp(a) is a special form of cholesterol that forms the thick sheets of plaque that obstruct arteries.
SECONDLY: Plaque deposits are not deposited uniformly around the circulatory system, instead, they only occur at sites near the heart, on bends, and where mechanical pressure is great. These are points where the artery gets stretched and bent with every heartbeat.
AND LASTLY: That plaque only forms in parts of the artery that are damaged from this constant bending and stretching. As tiny cracks appear in the artery wall, Lysine a component of collagen is slowly released. This lysine attracts Lp(a) to the site of the crack and as time progresses the sheets of Lp(a) deposit on top of each other and start to develop into a dangerous blockage.
As Pauling observed the process of plaque formation, which was similar to that of scurvy, he also noticed other clues that support his theory.
#1. ATHEROSCLEROSIS DOES NOT OCCUR IN ANY ANIMALS THAT PRODUCE THEIR OWN SUPPLY OF VITAMIN C.
#2. ONLY ANIMALS THAT DON’T PRODUCE VITAMIN C ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE LPa. THAT’S HUMANS, APES, AND GUINEA PIGS
Turns out plaque is not really bad! It is produced as a protection mechanism by our bodies to protect us from bleeding out from damaged arteries, caused by a vitamin C deficiency and intrinsically low-level scurvy.
Collagen is required to keep our arteries flexible and strong. A vitamin C deficiency equals a collagen deficiency. Vitamin C – along with the amino acids Lysine and Proline – is essential for the formation of healthy collagen.
So, by taking Vitamin C with those amino acids regularly, we can keep our arteries flexible and strong and more importantly CLEAR. And remember blockages are reversible, as soon as we begin to take the Vitamin C formula, repair begins at the wall of the artery, and then as soon as the plaque is not required to plug the cracks is dissolves away harmlessly, reopening the blood flow.
The Basic Pauling Vitamin C Therapy Protocol
Vitamin C as ascorbic acid—not other forms such as buffered vitamin C or Ester C®:
3 gm daily in divided doses for prevention; 6-10 gm daily for therapeutic treatment, to bowel tolerance. If diarrhea occurs, decrease the dosage slightly.
Lysine: 2-3 gm daily for prevention; 5-6 gm for therapeutic treatment, and
Proline: 250-500 mg daily for prevention; 1 gm daily for therapeutic treatment.
The above is the basic Pauling formula and by sticking to the recommendations you will see results. Since I have been taking this formula for many years now, I decided to include it as one of our very first product offerings here at OptimaEarth Labs.
