killer set to shake up the traditionally held views about the cause
of heart disease
Homocysteine Elevation
The inner lining of blood vessels, known as the endothelium, is sensitive
to irritation or abrasion. High levels of homocysteine have been shown
to cause endothelial damage and thus initiate the atherosclerotic lesions
that lead to heart disease.
Elevated Homocysteine
levels are associated with a wide variety of other diseases including:
·
Depression
·
Multiple sclerosis
·
Diabetes
·
Birth defects
·
Alzheimer's disease
·
Rheumatoid arthritis
·
Osteoporosis
·
Alzheimer's Disease
·
Heart disease
·
Cardiovascular disease
Homocysteine is
located at a junction of several key metabolic pathways in the body.
It is an intermediate in the synthesis of cysteine from methionine.
A deficiency of vitamin B-12, folic acid, and/or vitamin B-6 can block
this pathway, causing build-up of toxic levels of homocysteine. Supplementation
of these nutrients facilitates the pathway, reducing homocysteine levels.
Homocysteine,
the Best Single Indicator of Whether You Are Likely to Live Long or
Die Young
Staying healthy, happy, clearheaded and full of energy into old age
- this is what we all want. But ensuring that we do depends on how well
we can "read" the state of our health. What if there were a single test
that could do that, as well as point the way to a super healthy future?
Fortunately, there is. This test measures your level of homocysteine,
an amino acid that is found naturally in the blood.
High levels of
homocysteine, or a high "H" score, predicts your risk of more than 100
diseases and medical conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular
disease, arthritis, cancer and depression. In fact, it is more accurate
than a cholesterol reading for predicting the risk of heart attack or
stroke. Your doctor should be able to organise this for you, or you
can telephone York Laboratories on 01904 410410.
HOMOCYSTEINE IS
STRONG RISK FACTOR FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
New
England Journal of Medicine. 2002 Feb 14; 346:476-483
Subjects from the "Framingham Study" were examined over an eight-year
period. Baseline homocysteine levels measured eight years earlier were
examined in relation to those individuals who developed dementia on
follow-up. The study concluded that an increased homocysteine level
is a strong, independent risk factor for the development of dementia
and Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's nearly doubled in subjects with
a high level of homocysteine. (Some researchers believe dementia
begins many years before the symptoms become apparent. One HomoCysteine
Control Spray™ daily starts lowering homocysteine now – recommended
dose is 8 sprays per day).
ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS
FOUND DEFICIENT IN B12 AND FOLATE
Journal of Gerontology and Biological Sciences, 1997 Mar; 76-79
This study showed that patients with Alzheimer's disease were deficient
in both folate and B12 compared to age matched controls. (HomoCysteine
Control Spray™ provides "ready-to absorb" patented Metafolin®,
identical to folate in green leafy vegetables, and B12+ a coenzyme that
overcomes obstacles to absorbing B12).
HOMOCYSTEINE CONTROL SPRAY™ INSPIRED BY PROVEN MEDICAL
RESEARCH
What follows is a brief summary of studies from the most respected medical
and research journals in the world, and their citations. Read these
reports and you will be convinced of the health risks posed by Homocysteine
and the importance of taking the recommended ingredients in
HomoCysteine Control spray™
everyday.
HIGHER RISK OF DEATH SHOWN WITH EVEN MILDLY ELEVATED HOMOCYSTEINE LEVELS
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1999 Sep 7; 131:321-330, 363-375, 387-388
Subjects with mildly to moderately elevated Homocysteine levels had
a 30% to 50% higher risk of death than those with the lowest levels.
A second study examined published research on Homocysteine levels and
cardiovascular disease and concluded that Homocysteine is a significant
risk factor for heart disease.
(HomoCysteine Control spray™, provides a regimen of B vitamins,
effective in many research studies at lowering Homocysteine levels in
the blood.)
VITAMIN B COST-EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING BLOCKED ARTERIES
Journal of the American Medical Association, 2002 Aug 28; 288:973-979
The University of California at San Diego School of Medicine, in conjunction
with the Swiss Cardiovascular Center, found that inexpensive B vitamins
can prevent repeat blockage of the coronary artery after angioplasty.
(These are the same B vitamins
found in HomoCysteine Control spray™, in amounts research has shown
to be effective.
70%
OF ADULTS AT RISK FOR ELEVATED HOMOCYSTEINE
New England Journal of Medicine. 1999 Sep 16;341(12)
A medical researcher at Emory University asserts that "approximately
70% of the adult population in the United States is exposed to a risk
factor for cardiovascular disease - an elevated plasma Homocysteine
concentration that can be easily avoided simply by consuming a B vitamin
supplement." (HomoCysteine Control
spray™, is specifically formulated to LOWER Homocysteine).
HEART DISEASE IN WOMEN CUT IN HALF
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1998 Feb 4; 279(5):359-364
Harvard University researchers tracked 80,000 female nurses over a 14
year period, and found that an intake of folic acid and vitamin B6,
which was greater than the FDA's recommended daily allowance, cut the
risk of heart disease in half.
NOTE: American Heart Association statistics from 1998 show more females
die from cardiovascular disease than men.
(HomoCysteine Control spray™, contains
the B vitamins used in the study as well as B12 that has also been shown
to be highly effective in lowering Homocysteine).
MAJORITY WITH ARTERY DISEASE HAVE NORMAL CHOLESTEROL
Dr. Kilmer McCully, The Homocysteine Revolution, 1999; 115-116
"Practicing physicians know, however, that the majority of their patients
with arteriosclerosis have normal or desirable cholesterol levels in
the 180-220 range."
HOMOCYSTEINE SETS STAGE FOR SUBSEQUENT CHOLESTEROL DEPOSITS
McCully KS, Wilson RB. Homocysteine theory of arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis,
1975; 22:215-227
Homocysteine damages blood vessel walls and, says McCully, sets the
stage for subsequent cholesterol deposits.
STRONGEST RISK FACTOR FOR HEART DISEASE THAT CAN BE MODIFIED IS HOMOCYSTEINE
New England Journal of Medicine. 1997; 337:230-236
This report stated that Homocysteine was THE strongest modifiable predictor
of overall mortality among patients with coronary artery disease.
(HomoCysteine Control spray™, is
the simple daily spray that can modify Homocysteine in the blood).
Most people who have heart attacks do not have high cholesterol!
That's because there's another major cause of heart disease: Homocysteine.
Medical experts are convinced Homocysteine is as dangerous as elevated
cholesterol. Their studies have proven over and over that the lower
your Homocysteine, the lower your risk of serious illnesses such as
Heart Disease and Alzheimer's.
