No one has “missed the boat” on preventing or reversing the heart disease more than your average heart doctor.
I disagree with them on almost everything — cholesterol, cardio exercise, statins, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, you name it.
Now scientists have confirmed the common link between heart disease and a slew of other modern chronic ailments, including Alzheimer’s, diabetes, obesity, macular degeneration, and even tinnitus. In fact, the same hallmark misfolded proteins found in Alzheimer’s patients have also been discovered in other diseases
This is important because it also reveals a common cause.
Cardiologists have missed the boat on this too. They’re great at using Big Pharma’s heart drugs and technology. But none of it gets to the real root cause of heart disease.
I’m talking about your body’s inflammatory reaction to our processed, starch-heavy Western diet.
It has forced your body’s insulin production into constant overdrive. And more than this, it has created a global pandemic I call Syndrome Zero — a perpetual state of high insulin that gives rise to almost every modern chronic condition.
Most doctors refuse to make the connection between nutrition and its effect on human health and disease.
Doctors now accept that the overproduction if insulin and insulin resistance are two sides of the same coin when it comes to type 2 diabetes, but they refuse to connect the dots to other serious conditions.
For instance:
The incidence of type 2 diabetes alone has jumped a jaw-dropping 1,750% in just 30 years
Heart disease is still the biggest killer in America
And Alzheimer’s rates have virtually exploded over the past few decades
In this article, you’ll discover key scientific studies I’ve unearthed that prove the connection between these conditions is so strong, you could even call heart disease “Alzheimer’s of the heart.”
You’ll also learn that you can prevent, and even reverse, heart disease — without prescriptions from your cardiologist or even the pointless cardio exercise they all recommend.
Scientists Confirm Missing Link To Modern Disease
The very idea of having “Alzheimer’s of the heart” may sound strange to you, but there’s good science behind it.
Let’s start with Alzheimer’s.
This is a disease characterized by the buildup of misfolded amyloid proteins. These develop into abnormal clumps and clusters between brain cells, causing cell death and the loss of brain tissue.
Now scientists have discovered the same protein clumps in diseased hearts.1
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University studied the proteins from heart tissue biopsies from people with and without heart failure. They used the same kind of fluorescent antibody used to identify amyloid clumps in Alzheimer’s patients.
Not only did they discover their presence in the diseased hearts, they found twice as many in the heart failure patients than those without the condition.
Using animal models, they discovered they could cut the number of clumps in half with a compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
That’s a chemical in green tea.
The Johns Hopkins team is currently testing EGCG on protein clumps in human heart tissue. They say their discovery might lead to a new diagnostic tool for heart disease and could also lead to the development of a new Big Pharma drug, targeting amyloid clumps in the heart.
But you don’t need any of these drugs.
The discovery is further proof of the connection between modern diseases and their common root — our modern diet and the chronic insulin highs it brings.
You see, recent research also reveals the same amyloid clumps are found in diabetic pancreases, the eyes of macular degeneration patients, in the brains of Parkinson’s sufferers, in diseased livers and kidneys, and in cardiovascular conditions.2,3,4,5
While these amyloid clumps prove a connection, they’re just symptoms — not the cause.
The focus on amyloid proteins in mainstream battle against Alzheimer’s has led to years of trying out all sorts of drugs, vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies.
Sadly, all of them have failed. In fact, many of these can make things worse.
The real question doctors should be asking is this: Where do these amyloid proteins come from in the first place and how do we stop them from forming?
The Real Culprit Behind Amyloid Clumps
Insulin is probably the most misunderstood hormone in the human body. Most doctors only know that it regulates blood sugar levels and diabetics must work to keep these levels low.
There’s much more to it. Insulin is your “starvation hormone.” Too much insulin makes your body behave as though it were starving, bulking up its fat storage by converting glucose into triglycerides and body fat.
But excess insulin is also the culprit behind the formation of misfolded amyloid proteins — in every disease they’re found in,
You see, your body has its own system for clearing excess insulin. It’s called insulin- degrading enzyme (IDE). And your body also uses IDE to clear away amyloid clumps.6
But when IDE is too busy keeping up with the excess production of insulin — thanks to America’s high starch diet — the enzyme becomes overwhelmed and has no time to break down the amyloid clusters as they form.
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston discovered that dysfunctional IDE, along with high insulin, leads directly to the formation of amyloid clumps.7
Unless you’re going to solve the problem of your body’s hyper insulin production, focusing on the development amyloid-busting drugs for any disease is a waste of time.
You have to address their source...
Too Much Insulin is the Enemy of Your Heart
Chronically high insulin levels can be just as damaging to your body as high blood sugar levels — especially to your heart.
When your body produces excess insulin for too long, the rapid conversion of glucose into triglycerides triggers
