Alzheimer's and Heart Disease ? The Connection ... - Focus on health

canker sores What do

, bone spurs or chest pain reveal about your susceptibility to Alzheimer?s or heart disease?

Curiously, each condition seems to be connected.

Forty-plus years of research suggest that the Relatively minor conditions pulsate the warning that your tissues are dry kindling for fire of Alzheimer?s or heart disease, if not a who?s who list of chronic degenerative conditions, including: arthritis, gout, diabetes, non-healing wounds, psoriasis , multiple sclerosis (MS), and even cancer.

You?re not alone. The ills of chronic everyone lava bubbles under the crust of apparent good health in just about. The leading cause of death, they?re not to be taken, lightly. Fortunately, something can be done to reverse them or preventable.

Forty years ago, when cardiologist, Kurt A. Oster, MD, and Fairfield University professor, Donald J. Ross, Ph.D., began their study of atherosclerosis by examining the initial injury to the artery lining, they discovered in enzymes, XO, worming Swiss cheese holes within it, making sections affected a garden hose brittle prone to leaks.

Noting that the composition of arteries is similar to the myelin coating of nerves, to connective tissue under the skin, and to brain tissue, they realized that each tissue is so vulnerable to the action of XO. It led to

of understanding of Considerable Consequence.

Easter and Ross Concluded that inflammation introduces xanthine oxidase (XO), and that the enzyme is involved in a nearly identical, cascade of events at the start of each chronic illness. In other words, nearly the same disease process in various tissues and organs OCCURS yet each condition is assigned a different name according to the nature and to the locale where symptoms become manifest. The two researchers published the hypothesis that ?a multitude of apparently unrelated diseases may actually be only one many-faceted disease.? 1.2

In the last two decades, investigators at the cutting edge of research in inflammation dozens of institutes, worldwide, have Largely validated the thesis that inflammation is the common denominator of virtually all chronic degenerative diseases. Inflammation has become the focus of intense study.

And the word is getting out. The significance of inflammation at the start of all chronic degenerative diseases has propelled the subject to the cover of Time magazine (Feb. 23, 2004). A look at Ground Zero of Chronic Illnesses,

Easter Ross and advanced the thesis that internal inflammation is Characterized by the activation of the bee venom-like enzymes, PLA2, calcium triggered by stress and hormones. The action of PLA2 on the fat component of cell membranes, they pointed out, frees up space for XO to move in and complete the digestion of the fat component. In other words, it?s a two-phase, ignition process, starting with what amounts to the fire insulation within a cell membrane being stripped, followed by the spark of XO igniting the cell.

Digging deeper, after XO torches the fat component of cell membranes, fire alarms are sounded and chaos ensues on the cellular level, with inflammation signals apparently reaching distant parts of the body, where they resonate in different ways. In the brain, inflammation may resonate as a headache. In any event, do not burn cleanly tissues. A smoky fire rates generated free radical byproducts. Cigarette smoke also produce free radicals and sunlight but nowhere near as many as XO.3 A chain reaction of cell death ensues, nitrites and sulfites from accelerated by commonly consumed, preserved foods and drinks. Lesions are created when damage outpaces repair. When outpace healing lesions, oxidative stress to a tissue to interfere with the diagnosis is then made function.4 A ? diabetes, arthritis, lupus and the like. The name of the disease depends, most often, on where XO nests up

?Link Between Heart Disease, Alzheimer?s,? is a story aired on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, (January 14, 2004) . In it, reporter John McKenzie investigates evidence of an apparent connection between the two

The Broadcast Focuses on observations made by a scientist Whose job is to deter mine the cause of death in deceased persons as well as the timing. ? when death occurred ? by staining and analyzing relevant tissues under the microscope. Comparing brain artery and slides, he makes a noteworthy finding. Quoting from the transcript:

?While working in the Kentucky medical examiner?s office, Larry Sparks was checking brain tissues looking for early signs of Alzheimer?s disease.?

?He noticed that those who had the telltale plaques of Alzheimer?s had one thing in common:

?I took the slides ? and put them into two piles, those with heart disease and those without heart disease plaques and tangles And all the. showed up in the pile with heart disease, ?said Sparks.? 5

The information represents yet another cog in the thesis that Alzheimer?s, heart disease and other chronic conditions are the same illness in different locations.

-Reassessing Traditional Theory and Taking Charge of Health

Curiously enough, the ranks of a new generation XO investigating include a good number who have never heard of Easter Ross and yet their latest findings dovetail with those made by the two pioneers.

Independent confirmations are powerful testimony in science.

After decades of advice to lower cholesterol and saturated fat, to epidemic of chronic degenerative diseases epidemic is Maiming society like cannon-fire at close range. An out-of-control health situation is raising questions.

?Might it be that the nutritional advice has been wrong, all along? Might it be that it is the cause of the train wreck in health??

Considering the rather abysmal record of the medical-pharmaceutical industry in reversing chronic illness, ordinary folks are starting to take charge of their health by reading up, by getting second opinions and by making educated choices.

pioneering days, self-sufficiency was synonymous with survival. Curiously, it?s no less true with respect to health, today.

However, the sheer volume of information plus separating fact from fiction is no ordinary task for persons without a science background. How does one find a nugget of truth when a health responses weigh down the search screen million, along with one?s patience? As an aspiring author and researcher, I happened to stumble upon a gold nugget after taking the first step, about 30 years ago. The information became the title: ?Homogenized Milk and Atherosclerosis.? Nearly, 1 million copies were printed.6

True, numbers do not always correlate to substance but walls of shoeboxes bulging with letters of gratitude suggest that it was not just the cover that readers came to value.

Theory did what so contrarian, back then, Wikipedia is becoming mainstream, today. But it?s not a fad. They come and go. The topic of XO has begun to clog servers as fast as it has been clogging arteries. ?You see, it?s not cholesterol.?

Just tapping ?xanthine oxidase? (XO) into a search engine gives a decibel appreciation for the laboratory buzz. The rush info is tied to the finding that XO is responsible for more than just heart. ?In medical schools across the U.S. disease, cardiologists, Rheumatologists, oncologists, allergists and neurologists are all suddenly talking to one another ? and they?re discovering that they?re looking at the same thing ?7

While researchers continue to debate Whether XO originates from homogenized cow?s milk, # in which it?s plentiful, or from the human liver, it?s. not excluded that both sources are involved in chronic illness. However, cow?s milk XO is roughly 15 times more potent, apparently, the tipping point factor in overcoming the body?s defenses and anti-radical forming lesions. Cow?s milk XO is hard liquor; human XO is 2.8% beer.8

Virtually, any tissue or organ except the liver is prey to its action ? arteries, nerves, joints, skin, and the brain. Even the lens of the eye is vulnerable. Clearly, X is big.

Much like a callus or a bunion forms over a blister or layers of pearl around an irritating grain shape of sand, the body reacts to caustic XO by layering plaque around it.

The symptoms of a chronic degenerative disease can be viewed as complications resulting from cyclical episodes of XO-instigated damage and healing. Cholesterol actually contributes to the healing phase. It?s why sometimes its levels increase. The irritant, XO, remains. Plaque and resulting scars that encase it gunk that are shown to interfere with the hum of a fine-tuned organ. Illnesses ending with ?sclerosis,? like multiple sclerosis (MS) or atherosclerosis, are so named because of a thickening or hardening of a body part. The OCCURS hardening around the irritant -.. XO

Again, the name of the disease depends, simply enough, on where XO nests up For Life

plaques and tangles can not be the result of something as inert as cholesterol or fat. To blame cholesterol is like blaming Bambi for devouring a lamb. The only lions in the human system with adequate bite and a large enough appetite for tissues that pathologists see chewed up, regularly, are enzymes. XO is a digestive enzyme. When it ends up outside of the digestive system, it starts to digest body parts instead of food

In the title, Something Called XO, the novel thesis is advanced that canker sores -. Those little, whitish sores in the mouth ? are so XO-instigated lesions but without attendant plaque, scars or organ meltdown.9

Such is the bite into the bad news

The Nobel laureate good news is that one. means that each disease pathway condition ? more than 50 of them ? is amenable to nearly the same treatment. Oster and Ross suggested the same. A common therapy makes the discovery of XO?s role in many chronic degenerative diseases the ?. Mother lode of health breakthroughs?

canker sore flare-ups And are markers ? warning lights on the dashboard of common sense, suggesting that tissues are ripe for inflammation and that body chemistry is in need of urgent correction.

-The Proof of the Pudding is in the ORS Method

Everyone knows that Guarantees do not exist in but if one health, effective therapy could be found for reversing many diseases, it would not dramatically improve the odds for millions afflicted with incurable conditions? Many drugs for many diseases are money-makers for industry, something that might be tolerable if the drugs worked, yet they are Largely hit-or-miss, mostly miss. A single, viable therapy would certainly make them a thing of the past.

Easter?s in private practice and at St. Vincent?s / Park City Hospital in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where Easter served for 25 years as Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Chief, Section of Cardiology, Emeritus, for an additional 14 years, he transformed theory into real-life results in dog hundreds of patients by blocking the action of XO, Allowing incurable conditions to be reversed with remarkable success.

Easter is on record for having successfully treated, without surgery, non-healing leg wounds, complications of atherosclerosis and diabetes.10 Each year, 5.7 million persons in the U.S. alone, are affected by the condition, the Majority of them needlessly losing a limb amputation because of physician ignorance about alternatives.

Easter employed the vitamin folic acid as a nutritional supplement but not as a drug, in mega doses, to inhibit the activity of XO Allowing healing to outpace tissue damage. Patients were prescribed 80 mg daily. Despite well-documented results published in esteemed medical journals, along with photos and material support, the FDA has yet to catch on to Easter?s success story or, perhaps, it did catch on, opting to remain beholden to lobbyists, pampered by industry. The medical-pharmaceutical-food industry complex, after all, is no small octopus.

Drugs that inhibit XO, analyzed as allopurinol, have very nasty side-effects, making it essential to accomplish the same, naturally.

Working closely with Easter and Ross, over a seven-year period, in addition to the privilege of having their work edited, Homogenized Milk May Cause Your Heart Attack: The XO Factor, provided access to materials and personal insights that led to the formulation of an ideal solution -. a natural means to inhibit XO

It?s called the ORS method. It can be viewed as the penicillin of chronic illnesses only it?s not a drug.

Its guidelines steer persons seeking to reverse or preventable chronic illness away from foods containing XO, while inhibiting XO renegade already resident in the body. Each has its nuances degenerative disease in terms of how each one should be treated yet the general guidelines are applicable Comprising the ORS method to virtually, every chronic condition. The ORS Method not only the spark that lights Eliminates the fire in cells but it also Reduces their flammability. The nutritional guidelines do the equivalent of reducing the flammability of fire wood by soaking it in water. Thus, controlling and managing XO boils down to reworking kitchen recipes. Guidelines in the ORS method So identify nutritional supplements that activate and those that inhibit it XO. Correct, Certain commonly, vitamin and mineral supplements consumed increase XO activity can be highly Sun consuming them counterproductive. As just one example, multivitamins containing riboflavin (B2) nourish and increase the risk of XO free radical overload, especially consequential during inflammatory events. Even much-trusted vitamin C can be both of antioxidant and oxidant to understand Certain conditions, meaning that it can be healthy as well as harmful with respect to chronic illnesses. No less important, vitamin C heightens the immune response, Which is undesirable because collateral damage increases. Because of this, physicians prescribe immunosuppressant drugs to lower rather than heighten the immune response during inflammatory episodes. Without the fine-tuning that the ORS method for controlling XO provides, or attempts to reverse chronic degenerative diseases preventable by Way of diets, supplements or drugs are destined to remain as ineffective as the voodoo of a medical system struggling to redefine itself.

I have been asked why anyone should spend even just $ 20 on two eBooks when the basic information can be covered in some four pages plus one crib sheet listing what not to consume and what to consume.

Chronic degenerative diseases are serious, life-threatening conditions. There is much at stake on both sides of the equation, that is, for patients and for industry. David ended the arrogance and conceit of Goliath with one stone. The life-work of three persons has to be the stone that hits the mark. Only then can its value be appreciated. It?s why nearly 400 pages, backed by some 250 references, are needed.

I?ve now seen enough evidence to guarantee results. And, yes, the punctuation mark maligns, canker sores or bone spurs like, can be easily treated ? the same way as the long-winded like diseases, atherosclerosis

A comma and a period may be small but. they tell us much. A sentence is incomplete without them.
