How Dr. Raths Cellular HealthRecommendations Can Help Decrease

Inherited Cardiovascular RisksLets take diabetes, for example. With this disease, a geneticdefect results in too little production or cellular availability ofthe insulin hormone. The clinical consequences are discussedin detail in Chapter Seven. Although my Cellular Health recom-mendations cannot repair defective genes, they can help pre-vent, or at least delay, the development of diabetic cardiovas-cular complications.

In the adjacent figure, the defective gene is symbolized as atime bomb. My Cellular Health recommendations cannot makethis time bomb disappear. However, they can contribute todefusing it and preventing an explosion in the form of a dis-ease appearing.

As documented in this book, for diabetes, cholesterol disor-ders, Alzheimers disease, lupus erythematosus and other con-

ditions, my Cellular Health recommendations are an effectivetherapeutic approach for reducing risks from inherited disor-ders, and particularly, the development of cardiovascular com-plications.

The picture on the opposite page summarizes the main factorscontributing to your personal cardiovascular risk. Inherited riskfactors plus external risk factors determine your overall risk forcardiovascular disease by gradually depleting your bodys

reservoir of essential nutrients. Most internal and external riskfactors are effectively neutralized by an optimum intake of vit-amins and other essential nutrients.

You can reduce your cardiovascular risk with two measures: Minimizing your external risk factors, such as smoking

and diet Increasing your daily intake of vitamins and other cellular

nutrients

In November of 1994, she began following your vitamin pro-

gram along with a fiber drink. Even though she was somewhat

skeptical, she felt that she had nothing to lose. In July of 1995

(after 8 months on your program), she had another pap smear

test taken. What a tremendous feeling of joy she must have felt

when her doctor told her that her smear came backperfectly nor-

mal with no inflammation and no pre-cancerous cells. Her doc-

tor asked her what she was doing differently, and she told her

doctor about the vitamin program. Her doctor replied she didnt

understand it, but couldnt argue with success.

There was also other benefit. In July 1995, her ophthalmologist

examined her eyes. The first thing he asked was, What have you

been doing differently since your previous checkup? He said her

eyes were healthier inside than he had ever seen them during

the two and a half years hed been treating her.

Also, my sister is now able to limit her prednisone (anti-inflamma-

tory medication) to the smallest dosage in the last 22 years.

Thank you for your research and for your efforts to spread the

word about breakthrough discovery.

Sincerely,
