After the first 6 months, growth was slowed a little. But after 12 months there was a considerable drop in the growth of atherosclerotic plaques. Before nutritional intervention the average growth was 44% a year. One year after intervention, growth had essentially stopped. In some patients, deposits reversed and disappeared. This demonstrates that heart disease is reversible.
The nutritional supplement Rath designed for this study had 4 objectives. Stabilise the artery wall. Decrease muscle tumours. Neutralise stickiness of fat molecules. Provide antioxidant protection.
Stabilize Artery Walls
Artery walls are given stability by the connective tissues. Vitamin C is vital in its production. The amino acids lysine and proline are also required. Supplementation should consist of about 600mg of vitamin C and at least 100mg of each amino acid per day.
Reduce muscle cell tumours
Muscle cells in the arteries form faulty collagen molecules in nutritional deficiency states. Optimal supplies of nutrients especially vitamin C and vitamin E inhibits this process. (minimum vitamin E requirement 130IU).
Neutralize stickiness
The most dangerous fat transport molecules are not LDL cholesterol but a variant called lipoprotein (a). Sticky protein molecules attach to LDLs and accumulate inside artery walls. One aim of nutritional therapy is to neutralise this stickiness and prevent the attachment. The 2 primary nutrients for achieving this are again lysine and proline. By forming a protective layer around lipoprotein (a), further deposition of fatty molecules in the arteries is prevented. Those already deposited can be released, reversing the disease process. Blood levels of lipoprotein (a) can be decreased with high doses of B3 (nicotinic acid) and vitamin C.
Antioxidant protection
Free radicals damage lipoproteins in the bloodstream, as well as tissue in the artery walls. A large number of nutrients and food factors have antioxidant activity and are an important part of any supplement programme.
If these four objectives can be realised then there is a good chance of stablizing or even reversing heart disease.
