These tiny particles have what we call high atherogenicity meaning they can easily embed themselves in the endothelium (inner lining) of the blood vessels and begin the formation of a plaque and cardiovascular disease ensues. This is one of the key parts to my personal approach to cholesterol ...
Plaque bacteria are also responsible for tooth decay and cavities. They produce a strong acid that leaches the minerals from your tooth enamel, causing it to weaken and break down over time. As with gum disease, this can eventually lead to lost teeth. In addition to tooth decay and gum ...
Cavities are certainly a problem, and affect the very young to the elderly. Part of the reason cavities are prevalent is because of our diets. The processed sugar we eat tends to nourish the bacteria responsible for creating cavities and makes plaque accumulation on the teeth worse. For some ...
28-30 Furthermore, the inflammatory state induced by atherosclerosis increases plaque vulnerability to destabilization and rupture—an event that triggers pronounced pro-coagulation processes.28,31,32 Another common trigger of arterial thrombosis is atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia.

Japanese researcher Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi tested many traditional Japanese foods looking for a natural thrombolytic agent that could break down blood clots and arterial plaque. After testing more than 173 natural foods, Sumi found what he was looking for in 1980 with nattokinase. He dropped natto into...
Of course, this may simply have been coincidence and part of the natural evolution of my arterial problem but studies suggest that atorvastatin, which I take now, can reduce plaque build up and stabilise it. Maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here typing this drivel if it wasn’t for a certain...
