— Foreword —
According to World Health Organization statistics, one in every two people dies from a heart attack or stroke throughout the world. In the U.S. alone, 2,000 people die each day from heart attacks.
The Frightening Fact:
Every other person at the age of 25 has already developed the preliminary stage of heart attack and stroke called arteriosclerosis.
Since 1972 the drug companies and medical doctors addressing this worldwide epidemic constantly tell us to lower our cholesterol. But despite intense efforts to lower cholesterol, costing billions of dollars to Americans each year, the epidemic of heart attacks and strokes has seen no improvement.
Recent clinical research reveals that it is NOT cholesterol that causes heart attacks or strokes. Moreover, lowering your cholesterol can even be hazardous to your health:
Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) decrease coenzyme Q10 (essential for a healthy heart) thus promoting heart failure.
According to current medical research, lowering cholesterol levels is directly associated with numerous deaths and the increased incidence of cancer. Conversely, high cholesterol levels are associated with a high life expectancy and low incidence of cancer.
Did you know that every person who suffers from cancer perhaps not coincidently also has a very low cholesterol level?
Male and female sex hormones are manufactured by the body from cholesterol and the lowering of one’s cholesterol levels can lead to declining sexual functions.
A significant association between low or lowered cholesterol levels and behavioral violence is found across many scientific studies.
Almost thirty percent of the body’s cholesterol exists in the brain. It is not surprising that medical researchers have linked the onset of Alzheimer’s disease to lowered levels of cholesterol in the body.
Learn the true causes of this worldwide epidemic and the information needed to really cure or prevent heart disease altogether and stay healthy and fit.
Without the important scientific work of Albert Szent-Györgyi, M.D., Ph.D., Roger J. Williams, Ph.D., G. C. Willis, M.D., Irwin Stone, Ph.D., Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., Linus Pauling, Ph.D., Matthias Rath, M.D., Alexandra Niedzwiecki, Ph.D., Walter Hartenbach, M.D., and Lothar Wendt, M.D., I could not have written this book. These scientists are the pioneers who worked to solve the puzzle of diseases affecting the blood vessels of the heart (cardiovascular diseases) and diseases affecting the blood vessels of other organs such as legs, kidneys and eyes (peripheral vascular diseases).

Reducing Cholesterol Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
Are you more likely to die from heart disease if your blood cholesterol is high?
That would seem to be a reasonable assumption. Your doctor probably has told you so. You may have read about the dangers of high cholesterol in books, newspapers and magazines. Television ads touting cholesterol-lowering drugs certainly spread this idea.
However, statistics tell us that the number of people who die from a heart attack with a total cholesterol count over 300 is not any greater than with cholesterol that is lower than 200. [1, 2]*
In fact, of the patients admitted to hospitals for heart disease, 45 to 60 percent have what are considered as normal levels of cholesterol. [1, 3, 4]
What about the treatment for heart disease that is standard practice in modern medicine—the use of blood-fat and blood pressure-lowering drugs combined with intensive dietary cholesterol-lowering measures? Has this not reduced the incidence of heart disease? Again, statistics give us the true, unbiased picture: Patients so treated have a 143 percent greater chance of dying from heart disease. [5]
When we look further into this—again using scientific, objective methods—we find that the actual instances of death not caused by heart failure (such as cancer and diabetes) more than double as total cholesterol levels drop below 160. [1, 6]
From these statistics alone it becomes quite clear that forcing down cholesterol levels with drugs and drastic dietary measures is harmful to your health. Why is that?

Cholesterol is Vital for Your Health
Every single cell in your body contains a waxy, colorless substance called cholesterol.
It is one of your most important biochemical building blocks. Cholesterol, in fact, is the foundation for a huge number of substances without which your body could not survive.
Cholesterol is especially important for the nervous system. It is a key molecule to build and maintain brain cells and all other nervous-system cells. Almost thirty percent of the body’s cholesterol exists in the brain. It is not surprising that researchers have linked the onset of Alzheimer’s disease to a lack of cholesterol. [1, 7]
Cholesterol is one of the key basic substances in the body for making many hormones and other vital substances. For example, the body makes vitamin D from cholesterol. Since vitamin D is needed for the absorption and metabolism of calcium, too little cholesterol can cause bones to become brittle and fragile (osteoporosis).
Sex hormones—both male and female—are made from cholesterol. A lack of cholesterol often means a reduced sex drive and reduced fertility. But sex hormones play a role not only in your desire for sex. They also regulate virility and fertility, and the formation of protein that builds strong muscles and flexible cartilage. Sleeping well also depends on normal levels of sex hormones. So a general weakness, lack of agility and tiredness can also be the result of too
