Re: CAD

Rusty,

There's a ton of stuff out there on reversing CAD. Some of the stuff I have come across over the past several years:

The CHIP program - Coronary Health Improvement Program - I think it is vegan. It is through the Adventist community. Great testimonials on 3ABN health programs about dramatically reducing cholesterol and reversing CAD as well as many other health problems.

The Hallelujah Diet at hacres.com. I brought my cholesterol from 280 to 170 over several years of veganism. I recently added organic eggs from a neighbor's farm back to my diet periodically.

Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill by Udo Erasmus
He has a chapter on something about the myth of cholesterol. He suggests that cholesterol is not the culprit, but is protective of our deteriorating vessel walls. The high cholesterol is just a symptom. I think he recommends anti-oxidants, lots and lots of Vitamin C to rebuild and maintain the structure of the vessel walls, then the cholesterol will not have to "patch" our leaking vessels. He also talks about the dangers of the medications for treating high cholesterol and all of the deleterious side effects.

Our brains are composed of a lot of cholesterol. He suggests that one of the reasons for Alzheimer's might be all the cholestatins MDs have been prescribing.
