Re: Iodine alone not enough to overcome hypothyroid in many people?

Coronary Artery Disease-CAD, is the Kissing Cousin of Scurvy!

"Imagine your arterial wall to be like a stone dam. This is a reasonable analogy since your cells are like the stones and the water being held by the dam is similar to the blood under pressure in our arteries. Now, if the cement between the rocks is inferior, leaks could occur. Likewise in our arteries, if the ground substance between our cells is inferior due to lack of the proper development of collagen and fibrils as a result of inadequate Vitamin C, the arterial wall may be susceptible to seepage.

When arteries are compromised, our systems produce a specialized, sticky form of low-density lipoprotein (yes, there is a link with cholesterol. Please read the side bar) called Lp(a) which attaches itself to the arterial wall to prevent blood seepage. This is consistent with where arterial plaque is found - where there are lesions and where there is particular stress (i.e. at branches, in arteries, not veins, due to the pressure and in coronary arteries due to the stress of the constant motion)." From an Internet Site called "Heart Disease & Vitamin C."

Lipoproteins are the Back-Up repair plan! Vitamin C in the form of Calcium Ascorbate, and adequate thyroid treatment reversed my CAD! Tweet
