Hi Dave, good advise on the d-alpha tocopherol. I have been using d-tocotrienol but for other things.

My thought here was if lipase can digest fat then why couldn't it digest fat in the arteries if taken first thing in the morning before food? Maybe it could be used as part of a protocol for reducing plaque. I just thought maybe someone thought of it before me and had developed some research on it. My idea wasn't to replace other remedies but to maybe add another good remedy to them. Because plaque build up in the arteries is very serious then why not build an arsenal of remedies. Maybe I was just over thinking this. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks,

Hi Wydo...You are certainly on the mark with using lipase for getting rid of fat deposits that constrict arteries and veins. In combination with other stalwarts like niacin, magnesium and serrapeptase, lipase also helps to digest away the accumulated fats or cholesterols in veins and arteries, which are normally all made from a protein/fat combination. I have known that lipase works well for these problems because Ted has also recommended using larger amounts of lipase in the past, particularly for other problems like difficult-to-reach varicose vein problems, thrombosis and anuryisms at the peripheries of the body such as occurs at the head, hands and feet. Lipase is very effective for this and quite cheap which is also a big plus.

Hi Wydo... Ted doesn't actually mention dosages with lipase but he does recommend it together with other remedies for thick blood, varicose veins, allergies, rosacia, acne etc which are all conditions normally associated with high fat in the diet and in the blood. See this post by Ted.

Lipase is a non-poisonous natural enzyme for the body so I would no worry to much about specific dosages. Dr Gonzalez successful Metabolic Cancer Therapy mainly relied on taking large amounts of natural enzymes every day. In his protocol patients averaged taking 150 pills a day -- the majority of which were natural digestive enzymes.

Generally, fat deposits in the arteries are also associated with an excess calcium status in the blood so a reduction of calcium in the diet as well as taking Chanca piedra, magnesium or EDTA etc will certainly help to reduce the dangerous blood calcium levels causing the thick blood.

And then there is also Linus Pauling's well known and successful cure for arteriosclerosis and heart disease. Dr Pauling's website describes how to use Vitamin C with Lysine for severely blocked arteries. And I would also strongly urge you to watch the all videos on this site -- where Pauling himself describes direct testimonial evidence of success using his Vitamin C/Lysine therapy. Generally this one just involves taking powdered Vitamin C and Lysine both mixed in water -- both at a dosage and frequency of 1000mgs and taken 6 to 8 times a day. Drink green tea for the tannins which also aids in fat removal from the arteries. This method seems to reduce arterial blockages fairly quickly and have a high success rate but perhaps does take a little bit more effort on a daily basis.

W: Good to hear of your progress in the area of natural Healing and with the expert advice of our Bill.

If I may add, concerning the statins, Dr Sinatra, renowned cardiologist with a good deal of interests in his patients, recommends a minimal or very minimal dose, as the drugs are quite toxic and damaging to the body. He, among many other experts, recommends always take CoQ10 with the statins as they deplete this wonderful nutrient. CoQ10 works best by adding Selenium & Broad Spectrum Vit-E.

The nutrient Carnitine also works well with the CoQ10 and is a direct fuel source for the heart and helps remove fat from organs & tissues throughout the body.

Lipase is a digestive enzyme which is responsible for digestion of fats. Its main action is in the digestive system. It is not a systemic enzyme capable of removing atherosclerotic plaque.

On the other hand systemic enzymes are not digestive enzymes. Systemic enzymes are designed to work through the bloodstream.

The role of a systemic enzyme includes removal of atherosclerotic plaque that plugs arteries.

Nattokinase acts very powerfully on blood clots. It thins the blood the proper amount and stops there.

Serrapeptase is the strongest systemic enzyme. It has powerful fibrinolytic activity and it eats atherosclerotic plaque as in the case you mentioned.

Hi Ben, I agree with what you said and everyone else as well. There is also a new enzyme called lumbrokinase that show some good promise as well. A very important aspect of this is what Linus Pauling said, that all this stuff is a bandage for faulty veins. The veins need the help of the vitamin C to rebuild the collagen that makes the veins stronger and more supple. Getting rid of all the stuff in the veins without this would be a big mistake. So I am having her take vitamin C with L-lysine several times daily. Another good thing to do after a while is to start on vitamin D3 with K2. K2 is found in abundance in natto as well as nattokinase and there is not much of it anywhere else in our diet. Vitamin K2 is a very good way to help de calcify the veins and the body. Anything that is a nutrient that helps is something that was needed all along and we are just not getting it in out foods anymore. Healthy gut bacteria helps to make it but most people are low in this especially if you have any health problems.
