HERBS AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Atherosclerosis is a process of progressive thickening and hardening of the walls of medium-sized and large arteries as a result of fat deposits (called plaques) on their inner lining. It can begin in the teenage years. It is usually a silent disease (with no obvious symptoms).
Reduce carbs
200-300mg/day cholesterol is usual in a normal diet. But to reduce cholesterol in the blood the key is a low carb diet (below 80g daily) and a low sugar diet (less than 15g per day). To do this effectively you need to be strict with yourself, watch and count the carbs on packaging and know their values in other foods you eat. For specific guidance contact Alan Hopking, herbalist for nearly 30 years. See also weightless and stevia. You also need to drink at least 2L water daily (this doesn’t include beverages and juices) – you may want to go on my water-detox programme to kick-start your cardiovascular healing.
Other useful supplements
Atherosclerosis responds well to:

Vitamin C has an important role – antioxidant in vessels and inhibits inflammatory process. Take up to 2g per day (best to buy Vitamin C powder £17.99 for 250g. Add this in your email order to us if required).

Herbal Treatment
Herbal treatment uses selective herbal medicines as surface vasodilators, cardioactives, anti-cholesterols and vaso-antiinflammatories.
Atheromas (plaques) cause an inflammatory response in the tissue causing the vessel to swell first, later this swelling narrows the vessel hole. Herbs are used to reduce the inflamed tissue and prevent the narrowing effect. Herbs that help to dilate the vessel are also used. Anti-cholesterol herbs to reduce the LDL in the blood are included in the prescription (see below). General immune system herbs and heart regulating herbs are also recommended.
