Listen to John describe how he lowered his Cholesterol, to his Doctor’s delight, while reducing his intake of Statins.
I can also personally attest to having reduced my cholesterol by 30 pts with Mila and having never taken the statin drugs as originally recommended by my physician.
Nearly a third of all adults have high blood pressure and another third have high cholesterol, but most aren’t being treated, leaving them at risk for developing heart attacks, strokes and related vascular diseases, according to new data out from the CDC.
Half of American adults with high blood pressure and two thirds of those with high cholesterol aren’t getting adequate treatment, the agency reports.
And it’s not lack of health insurance keeping people from the doctor. Some 80 percent of people with uncontrolled hypertension or high cholesterol have some form of coverage, the CDC reports.
So what’s the problem? Well, while patients may have insurance, they may not have regular access to medical care, or the counseling and support needed to care for these chronic conditions. Others don’t go to the doctor for follow-up visits and about half just stop taking their medicine all together.
Heart attack, stroke and other vascular diseases kill more 800,000 Americans a year and cost the nation about $300 billion a year in medical costs. Thing is, medications can control high blood pressure and high cholesterol before they become serious, the CDC urges.
(NaturalNews) Omega-3 fatty acids are “incredibly potent” anti-inflammatories, which may explain why they have been linked with lowered rates of diabetes and heart disease, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of California-San Diego and published in the journalCell.
In an experiment conducted on mice, the researchers examined how omega-3s interact with specialized white blood cells known as macrophages, which digest harmful molecules and cellular debris. As part of their operation, macrophages naturally secrete chemicals that produce an inflammatory response.
The researchers found that macrophages contain anomega-3receptor, GPR120, that causes them to stop producing these inflammatory chemicals.
In a second experiment, the researchers genetically modified a group mice to lack a GPR120 receptor, then fed a high-fatdietto both modified and normal mice. All the mice became obese and developed diabetes. When their diets were then supplemented withomega-3s, only the non-modified mice exhibited improvement in their symptoms. In these mice, Omega-3 supplementation was as effective at restoring insulin sensitivity as the drug Avandia.
“It’s just an incredibly potent effect,” researcher Jerrold Olefsky said. “Theomega-3 fatty acidsswitch on the receptor, killing the inflammatory response.
“This is nature at work. The receptor evolved to respond to anaturalproduct — omega-3fatty acids– so that the inflammatory process can be controlled. Our work shows how fish oils safely do this, and suggests a possible way to treating the serious problems ofinflammationin obesity and in conditions like diabetes, cancer and cardiovasculardiseasethrough simple dietary supplementation.”
Omega-3 fatty acids naturally occur in fishoiland in some vegetable foods such as canola oil, flax seeds, chia, kiwifruit, and purslane. Many researchers now believe that the average Western diet contains a lower content of these oils than is necessary for optimal health.

Information reported in the journal PLoS Medicine lists lack of proper Omega-3 fat in the diet as one of the ten leading preventablecauses of death. The journal estimates that nearly 100,000 die each year due to Omega-3 fat deficiency while many more suffer debilitating heart attacks, strokes and cognitive damage as a result. Another study published in the Nutrition Journal provides evidence that men with the highest levels of the Omega-3 fat, DHA ran a 34% lower risk of developing heart disease. Older adults with the highest total Omega-3 concentrations ran a 70% lower risk of a fatal heart attack.
