Rath / Pauling Therapy for CVD –A Simple Cure
The Rath/Pauling therapy - A simple way to prevent
/ cure CVD related to atherosclerosis (Also used for rheumatoid arthritis,
osteoarthritis and skin tone/elasticity)
What is it?
The Rath/Pauling therapy is an inexpensive, nutrient-based, oral therapy
to
strengthen the body's connective tissue
Proposed by Dr. Matthias Rath and by the
brilliant two-time Nobel prize winner, biochemist,
physicist, molecular biologist -
Dr. Linus Pauling
The
therapy provides vitamin C
and two amino acids to ensure production of sufficient collagen, to
strengthen
structural tissues throughout the body -
notably for connective tissue in
arterial walls, skin, muscle,
nervoustissue, bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and teeth. Collagen acts
like a gluefor holding our cells
together and is the body's preferred
substance for repairs.
The collagen fiber is like a 3-strand rope,
consisting of amino acids L-glycine, L-proline and L-Lysine strands twisted around
each other in helical fashion. An injury causes the collagen fiber to break, and
just like a cut rope, frayed ends are
left dangling. With sufficient vitamin C
present, the frayed ends of L-Lysine,
L-Proline and L-glycine are hydroxylated (chemically changed to
L-hydroxyglycine, L-hydroxylysine and
L-hydroxyproline ), which splices them back together.L-glycine is amply supplied in the body, but L-Lysine and L-Proline are
not always available for repairing collagen.
A chronic (long-term) deficiency of
vitamin C is essentially low-level scurvy.
So simple you may not believe it - Why is it that when a solution sounds too simple, we think that it
could not possibly work? Instead, we are cleverly persuaded by the various arms
of the medical system to put stock in their lucrative invasive medical
procedures and expensive prescription drugs.
Proven in thousands of patients - To ignore this proven and simple life-saving cure is to do so at your own peril
The Rath/Pauling therapy is used to fix health problems involving weakened
structural tissue
Such problems would include:
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
involving atherosclerosis i.e. Ischemic CVD:
Includes coronary heart disease (CHD),
arrhythmia, angina, carotid artery disease/stroke, hypertension, thrombosis
and hemorrhagic burst
Therapy solves two
specific problems related to CVD involving atherosclerosis:
Lp(a) binding inhibitors
(primarily the amino acids lysine and
proline) prevent, resolve, and dissolve
existing atherosclerotic plaque build-up - a fact supported by 3 U.S. patents.
Necessarily HIGH dose vitamin C
activates lysine and proline and
heals damaged arterial walls - smaller doses are less effective.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) involving atherosclerosis -
most common form of PAD
is caused by atherosclerosis, which can cut off circulation to arms or legs.Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis Skin tone / elasticity - antiaging
Finding the cure for CVD
♪"How can you mend a broken heart?"♪♫
In 1991, having
determined that ischaemic CVD is simply a result of chronic, low-level scurvy
(i.e. a
vitamin C
deficiency),Drs. Pauling and Rath published their groundbreaking
paper:
"Solution to the Puzzle of Human Cardiovascular
Disease: Its Primary Cause is
Ascorbate Deficiency Leading to the Deposition of Lipoprotein(a) and Fibrinogen/Fibrin
in the Vascular Wall".
Next, they asked themselves the question of how life-saving plaques formed as
a consequence of insufficient vitamin C could be
reversed. Your body intended the plaque to be a temporary repair
patch over arterial damage to prevent you bleeding-out
Lp(a) - The "Repairman" They found that Lp(a) cholesterol-binding sites are really just
residues of collagen amino acids lysine and proline that become exposed when
blood vessel walls "crack" (as in a lesion). These exposed residues attract the
"sticky"
Lp(a) molecules creating the plaque.
Why does atherosclerosis occur?
Pauling hypothesized that if there were sufficient
vitamin C and more-than-normal amounts of
lysine in the bloodstream, then the Lp(a) might be attracted
away from
An associate of Pauling
with a serious heart insufficiency tested the hypothesis - It worked! - This associate had
already been taking large doses of
vitamin C,
but was not getting any relief. Pauling suggested taking large amounts of
supplemental lysine per day, and it worked. Within a few months he was able to
function normally and there was strong evidence that his plaques were being
reversed and the arteries healed. He increased the dosage and recovered
completely. The same happened with other of Pauling's associates, friends, and
acquaintances.
Within a few years, hundreds of people had
reported that their cardiovascular disease had been totally reversed.
Proline was found
to improve the results by binding to additional Lp(a) receptors
Lp(a) is a combination of water-loving protein
(apo a) and oil-loving cholesterol, and
in contrast to L- Lysine, the unique amino acid L-Proline prefers oil to water (because of
its five-member ring structure containing the amine portion of the molecule);
Pauling and Rath correctly hypothesized that
proline would dock onto the oily receptor sites not covered by lysine -
and astonishingly,
adding proline to their solution completely cleared plaque blockages
A sufficient
Vitamin C supply preferentially binds to and hydroxylates lysine and
proline strands exposed in damaged artery walls and repairs the damage
Hydroxylation heals the
damage by repairing collagen and also prevents these strands from "docking"onto
Lp(a) receptor sites -
with the result that some of
the Lp(a) and plaque repairs leave the vessel walls, as confirmed by
previous studies ;
Rath and
Pauling have
two patents using their
findings to remove plaque from arteries and also from
organs during transplant surgery
Cure means cure
End-stage CVD patients report an end to angina
pain, color returns, blood pressure drops, blood flow increases, blockages
disappear, heart rates drop, lipid profiles normalize, energy increases -
Patients can pass treadmill stress tests without surgery or any other medical
intervention. Patients, previously struggling to walk, report that within months
they can handle even strenuous work. Eventually, elevated Lp(a) levels are
reduced.

Vitamin C , Lysine ,
Proline
To normalize your
cholesterol and/or high blood pressure, while gently healing your arteries and
removing plaque:

How to do the Rath/Pauling Therapy
Effects of the Rath/Pauling Therapy in CVD
Addresses
the root cause of atherosclerosis in CVD by strengthening and healing blood
vessels
Amino acids proline and
lysine are basic building blocks of collagen -
additionally, lysine promotes pituitary gland secretion of hGH (human growth
hormone), the master hormone
that will indirectly promote fibroblasts to produce more collagen throughout the
body.
Vitamin C is
involved in collagen production ;
Lowers
Lp(a) blood levels over time and keeps them low
Therapy mechanism doesn't depend on the cause of plaque formation
It
doesn't matter if the arterial lesions were caused by mechanical stress, a vitamin
deficiency, dietary oxidized cholesterol,
elevated homocysteine or sugars, fat or toxis fats, or even . . . Little green men!
Rath/Pauling patents
According to the
Rath/Pauling 1994 U.S. patent, a binding inhibitor
(E.g. lysine or lysine analogs)
together with vitamin C can stop and even reverse plaque formations - the amino acid lysine (lysine
analogs), along with vitamin C
and other antioxidants (E.g. Co-Q10,
vitamin E and vitamin A ) in sufficient
concentration, can inhibit Lp(a) from binding to exposed lysine residues.

ascorbate and substances that inhibit the binding of lipoprotein (A)
Another patent concerns stripping plaque from transplant organs
- in later experiments
Pauling and Rath showed that proline residues are also exposed by lesions in
blood vessels; they filed a U.S. patent for using proline as well as lysine,
vitamin C other amino acids and
antioxidants (in
oral amounts well past what is needed for prevention)to inhibit Lp(a) binding and so "melt away"atherosclerotic plaques in
human organs dipped in these solvents during organ transplants

Orthomolecular
physicians have reported much success in treating heart disease with synergistic
combinations of ascorbate, lysine and proline
Here's just a couple of testimonies:
Linus Pauling Case
History: a National Science
Medalist who had undergone several coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs), each
of which had re-clogged, and who had been prescribed statin drugs for high
cholesterol as well as calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers for high blood
pressure. After discussing his history with Pauling, this patient began a
supplement program, including 6g of vitamin C; however, his condition
continued to worsen. Pauling then suggested adding L-lysine (peaking at
6g/day) to his cocktail. The patient described the results as bordering on
miraculous: his walking distance suddenly recovered, and he was again able to do
his own yard work (including the cutting up of a tree with his chainsaw and the
painting of his house). Dr. Kathie Dalessandri,
MD: reported her own dramatic improvement in the Archives of Internal
Medicine after using vitamin C and lysine. "I
am a 53-year-old woman with a significantly elevated level of Lp(a) (27 mg/dL). . .
I began to follow the advice of Linus Pauling. For individuals who have an Lp(a)
level higher than 25 mg/dL and a family history of heart disease, the
recommendation is to take 3 g/d of both
ascorbic
acid and L-lysine monohydrochloride.After 6 months of this regimen,
with no adverse effects, my Lp(a) level decreased to 14 mg/dL, a reduction of
48%."
