Coronary Calcium Count

The New England Journal of Medicine March 27, 2008 had a paper that demonstrated the usefulness of counting calcium in the coronary (heart) arteries as a predictor of heart disease in four different ethnic groups. Caucasians, Blacks, Hispanics and Chinese all had the same responses to the observations.

A doubling of the calcium scores increased the risk of heart attack from 18 to 39% compared to those who had zero calcium in the arteries.

They concluded that any ethnic group can use this modality to asses their risk of heart disease and maybe they should.

Trans Fat

Harvard School of Public Health published a piece in December, 2007 as to why Trans Fats should be banished from the Food system. They intrinsically lead to harmful changes in blood fats, systemic inflammation, and abdominal fat (brown fat) and insulin resistance.

This leads to cardiovascular death, diabetes and other chronic disease.

There is no reason for the continued use of Trans Fat in food preparation and suggest voluntary or legislated withdrawal. Tens of thousand of heart attacks would be prevented.

Noninvasive diagnosis of subclinical atherosclerosis in cardiometabolic syndrome: a call to action.

Wave form analysis of blood pressures to find atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis is the first order.

We will have our second device for wave form analysis will be in the office shortly. This is how we determine these diseases and then we set about reversing the disease. We reverse it with l-arginine, using it in the manner suggested in the manner suggested in the process explained when the Nitric Oxide pathway won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1998.

This is the concept of Strategic Health in action. Finding you have a problem before your first symptom then reversing it. It’s your time.

The Accord Trial

The Accord trial was stopped.

This was the US trial that set out to show that if you were meticulous with your glucose control you had less heart disease. They were getting ever increasing deaths so the trial was stopped. The sister trial to show the same results in European patients had no such problems and continues.

It is my feeling that the United States has not treated their people with diabetes correctly in this study and in the ordinary care of people with diabetes. All my life I have seen people who could not gain control of their metabolism and glucose but for me it was a piece of cake.

“How did you do that?!” Their doctor would scream, “I used all the same medications you did!” Did they feel that my 6 years in metabolism training in diabetes was for nothing?

In such major trials, only diabetes specialists should be involved.
