Thrombogenic Hypothesis of Heart Disease-Part 2

Continuing our exploration of the thrombogenic hypothesis for heart disease, we will look at what damages the endothelial lining besides what we talked about in the last article.

We will bring this discussion to current events.  Why is having an infection with the Wuhan virus or getting one of the jabs leading to heart issues?.

Anyone following the news now knows that getting those mRNA jabs have proven to result in a problem of post-jab heart issues. Recent data shows everyone under the age of 80 is at higher risk of dying from the jab than of Covid itself. For those under 18 years old, they are 51 times more likely to die from the jab than from the actual virus if unvaccinated!

Thrombogenic Hypothesis of Heart Disease- Part 1

I’ve been telling you for years that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, and no drug, aspirin a day regimen or fat restricting diet does a bit of good in lowering heart attack risk or death. The whole saturated fat theory of heart disease was fabricated to begin with, yet it’s been a staple of “modern medicine” for forty years.

Today, I will introduce you to the latest information on what causes heart disease and arterial thickening called atherosclerosis. The thrombogenic hypothesis asserts that blood clotting is the underlying pathological process that causes all heart disease.

Aspirin Therapy and Your Heart-Part 2

Articles by Dr. Erdman are for informational purposes, and are not to be taken as specific medical advice.

 

Before you jump on the bandwagon of taking aspirin daily for the reduction of heart attacks, stroke and cancer, you really need to educate yourself on the actual benefits and side effects.   Like we showed last week, recent studies point toward no benefit in reducing heart attack with aspirin use.  In fact, use of aspirin by people who have not had a cardiac event seems to increase the incidence of heart attack.

Let’s start with the professed benefit of taking an aspirin a day. It is said to help prevent cardiovascular events, especially in a person who already has had a heart attack or stroke. A recent report came out saying aspirin prevents cancer when taken for at least 3 years. The process of thinning the blood so it can circulate more easily amongst clogged and narrowed arteries sure seems logical enough, if it only were true.

Aspirin Therapy and the Heart-Part 1

Articles by Dr. Erdman are for informational purposes, and are not to be taken as specific medical advice.

 

For many years, doctors have been prescribing aspirin therapy as a cheap, effective way to reduce cardiovascular events and improve survival after a heart attack. Neither of these is true.

Chewing two aspirin during a heart attack event has been shown to be very effective in reducing damage to the heart.  You must chew them, and it must be during the event.  That is not what we are talking about here.

Even low dose aspirin therapy has serious side effects that, just like statin drugs for cholesterol, overshadow any supposed benefit. The evidence in support of aspirin has always been weak, and over the last decade it has become even weaker.

Fats and Your Heart

Over the last several years of writing these articles, I’ve hit the topic of saturated fats, cholesterol and your heart health quite a few times. The school of thought that saturated fats are good for you continues to be proven correct. Even more recent research has come in on the side of the healthiness of saturated fats. The recent research also points to the real villain that fries (no pun intended) your heart, that being trans fats.

Back in February, the US government’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee surprisingly eliminated warnings about dietary cholesterol and reversed their long standing nutrition policy by concluding that dietary fats have no ill effects on the heart.

Damning Jab Data

I am so sick and tired of writing about this Chinese virus I could puke.  Everyday we hear new information that is simply ignored by most news outlets. This info isn’t conjecture or wild guesses, it is pure raw data from governmental institutions Yet this information is totally ignored in reporting and policy making.

Today is no different. The UK and Scotland have just released data regarding these experimental gene therapy shots. It isn’t pretty. These shots are an abysmal failure. Not only are they ineffective at stopping this virus, they seem to actually be the factor creating more cases. Anyone who continues to tell you this disease is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is either willfully ignorant or just a fool. The facts and data speak for themselves.

Nutrition for Covid

Articles by Dr. Erdman are for informational purposes, and are not to be taken as specific medical advice.

 

In this week’s article we will go over some of the top tips to optimize your health as related to battling this Wuhan virus.

Number one for fighting any infectious disease is to optimize your Vitamin D levels. Blood levels are ideally between 60-80 ng/mL. You must test your blood to see where you are and increase Vit D3 supplementation as needed. As a general rule, for adults, I recommend 3-5000 IU/day in the summer months and 5-10,000 IU/day from October to May at our latitude here in PA. Using Vit K2 at the rate of 100-200—mcg/day is needed with D3 as is magnesium at 100 mg/day.  You will need 2.5x more Vit D3 without the K2 or Mg to raise the blood levels to the same point. 

Number two is to up your intake of key immune boasting supplements. These include N-acetylcysteine (NAC), quercetin, magnesium, zinc, glucosamine, elderberry extract, selenium, astaxanthin and vitamin C. These are the significant ones. Many more are available.
