Feeding Arteries
April 2009
Greetings!

This article unveils the most profound discovery in my career.  It's worth forwarding to someone else and printing it out to read on paper.

In 1998, I attended a seminar by a holistic cardiologist that explained how to repair arteries.  I listened intently and later, observed for results in the real world. Unfortunately, I did not see the results even though the seminar's content made sense.  Then, in January of this year (11 years later!), a fortuitous series of events occurred that showed the truth.  Now for the benefit of dozens so far, we are changing lives for the better.  Read on to learn about the cause and solution for the number one cause of death - heart disease. 

First I need to go over some physiology.  Arteries are muscular tissue.  They flex and contract with the pulsing of blood so they need to stay strong yet pliable.  The arteries that are stressed the most in the whole body are the medium-sized ones that feed the heart muscle.  They come right off the aorta which is the large artery that is the exit for all the blood that goes to the body.  The reason why they are the most stressed arteries is because the heart NEVER STOPS BEATING.  These arteries are constantly being flexed by this action.  If they are not nourished and healthy, they start to get small splits in them like an aging car tire.  If these splits are not repaired, then they get packed in with a gummy substance that acts like a plastering agent. This plastering agent is called cholesterol. The tissue may also become weak and balloon out.

There is some debate about whether or not this is truly the cause of heart attacks.  Another theory says that the tiny capillary arteries get diseased and as a group, starve a section of the heart muscle.  These capillaries are so small, only one red blood cell can get through it at a time and they do not get clogged with cholesterol.  They get polluted with toxins or become deficient in their essential nutrients so they don't work like they should.  Either theory reaponds with the solution described below.  small artery disease article
 
What I learned in 1998 is the nutritional deficiency that causes the arteries to age and split.  It is Vitamin C deficiency.  (You may have heard this before, but please read on.  There's a catch!)  Vitamin C acts like glue to hold tissues together.  It keeps the arteries strong, yet pliable.  A deficiency of Vitamin C can be seen first as micro-tears in the arteries.  These tears become larger and larger and bleeding becomes more prevalent and profuse.  Excessive bleeding is first seen in the jaw and gums because chewing is a harsh action done often. This is scurvy!
 
Sailors often died from scurvy until it was discovered that limes, oranges and other citrus fruits prevented it.  Limes were good for long sailing trips because they had a long shelf life.  This is why sailors were called "Limeys".

Last month, an old manuscript was uncovered that showed it was a woman who discovered this connection.  It was 1707 and her name was Ebbot Michell.  Ebbot Michell article
 
As stated above, when there is a deficiency of Vitamin C, the body packs cholesterol into those cracks.  It's like putting toothpaste into a hole in the drywall before painting it.  It doesn't belong there, but "it'll do" until you actually fix the problem.  This cholesterol patch becomes plaquing and it builds up, especially when you eat unnatural fats that are "sticky" like margarine, corn oils, and vegetable oils.  Natural fats slip right on by without sticking like animal fats, lard, tallow, butter, and dairy products.
 
This all makes sense, but unfortunately, I didn't believe it for 11 years!!  Why is that?  Because I never saw Vitamin C reverse cholesterol plaquing.  I saw heart patients take vitamin C but never get better.  I saw people continue to have heart problems while on lots of Vitamin C.  This was not a solution.  Why?  The answer came in January of 2008.
 
At that time, I had a patient who was experiencing irregular heart beats and chest pain after only a few minutes of exercise.  He was a vegetarian and ate way too many grains and sugar.
 
I asked him to put his finger where his heart pain occurred.  He did so and I muscle tested him.  He needed a certain product that i had been told was like roto-rooter for arteries.  I gave him 8 per day and in two weeks he said he was 60% better!  He could exercise for 30 minutes with no pain!  We had just nourished and improved arteries and heart.
 
Here's why I missed the connection for 11 years:  The product I gave this patient is made of the juice taken from the leaf of the buckwheat plant.  It is the greatest source of Vitamin C.  The key is:  It is WHOLE FOOD VITAMIN C, not the synthetic version (ascorbic acid).  Our government says that Vitamin C is ascorbic acid.  The truth is ascorbic acid is only a small percentage of the Vitamin C molecule.  It is the outer protective layer like the paint on your car.  

For 11 years, I saw people taking the synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which DOES NOT WORK!  The whole food vitamin C, does work.  It repairs arteries (like scurvy) in a matter of a few weeks. It is simple, noticeable and clinically significant. Using the FDA-approved Meridian machine, we have seen the risk for heart problems decrease. 

When researching Vitamin C on the Internet, be wary of what substance was used for research. It's basically all synthetic ascorbic acid, not the real Vitamin C.  That's why research on ascorbic acid is only "promising", "inconclusive", "might work" or "controversial".  If they used the whole food vitamin C, there would be no doubt that it works. 

What is in your vitamins in your kitchen?  Is the ascorbic acid label over 10 mg?  If so, it's not the real stuff.  It's hard to find a pure vitamin C product at a health food store.  Even the good ones are "enhanced with bioflavinoids" which indicates it's not pure.  I saw one that said "blended with raw carotenoids" which is a very deceitful way of saying, "We added synthetic vitamins because everyone else is doing it and we don't know any better."  Otherwise it would have been a great product.  It is possible to find a pretty good whole food Vitamin C.  Do you test for it?  Will it really work?  Only muscle testing can verify that.

The medical attempt of cleaning out arteries is to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood.  It's like taking away the toothpaste from your bathroom so you can't temporarily repair the holes in your drywall before painting.  That's not a true fix. If you have adequate vitamin C and healthy arteries, your cholesterol can be 400 (which is considered high) and have no plaquing and no diseased arteries.  Also, half of people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol and some people have high cholesterol and no blockages. 
 
Since January, we've had a few dozen patients get better.  One was experiencing knife-stabbing pains through her heart to her back.  Our favorite whole food vitamin C product cleaned and repaired her arteries and she felt the pains less frequently and with less intensity.  She was 75% better in just 3 weeks!  
 
Kerry, one of our Patient Advocates, has had chest pain multiple times a week for the last year and a half.  Weeks later, since starting her program, Kerry has not had any pain.

Avoid the foods that cause arteries to split, tear and plaque.  These foods are deficient in whole food vitamin C- sugar and white flour products- and are too commonly consumed.  Eat whole foods rich in it.  It doesn't take a lot.  A sailor only needed a little lime juice per day!  This is a revolutionary, applicable, inexpensive solution for a national scourge.*
 
Do not forgo other treatments that have been validated medical science or self-medicate for potentially serious conditions without medical supervision.  Anecdotal evidence about an individual experience is not sufficient to substantiate claims about the effect of a supplement.  The nutritional program that is described here does not interfere with any drugs.  It can be done concurrently. 

Sincerely,
Dr. Schmidt

Meridian Heart Risk Assessment
heart
Due to high demand, we are offering more opportunities for you to get assessed.  The machine that does this measures SEVEN conditions of your heart and arteries!  This includes the circulation capabilities of your arteries, hardening and plaquing of the arteries, pumping capability of the largest chamber of the heart, true arterial age and abnormal heart rhythm. It only takes a few minutes, is non-invasive and is only $40!  It's called the Meridian and we are not aware of it being used in American hospitals.  It is FDA approved!

We'll give you the results and provide specific nutrition to improve the health of your heart and arteries.  We will re-test in one month intervals to see changes.  We've not seen a simpler, cheaper and more effective way to get these factors assessed.  Take the results to your medical doctor for further testing and drug treatment of heart and artery disease or symptoms.

This is only available to patients.  If you haven't been in for awhile, you will need to have a "reactivation" appointment to start on a program again.  If you know someone who would benefit from this, they need to become a new patient first.  Please use the coupon below! 

Call the office at 734-302-7575 to set up a time to get tested.  If you have any high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, arterial blockages, skipped beats or if you have ever been treated for a heart or artery condition, then contact us to get assessed.  Email back or call us if you have specific questions.
"I feel great!"

"I was gaining weight and tired. With blood tests diagnosed with high thyroid, high cholesterol, high glucose, high blood pressure, and rosacea. I was starving myself to lose weight with no success. Now, I've lost 10 pounds. My blood test results show no high thyroid, glucose, or cholesterol! Rosacea is 50% better. Not hungry between meals either. I feel great! My M.D. said she had never seen cholesterol lowered so much with just diet change. My cholesterol has been over 400 for 6 years, now it's 160! I didn't tell her it was because I'm eating more butter and meat!"
