In South Africa 1 in 3 men and 1 in 4 women will suffer from heart disease before they reach the age of 60 years. Some people have natural high cholesterol levels, due to a hereditary condition known as “Familial Hypercholesterolaemia” (FH). This condition is very common in our country, specifically amongst Afrikaner, Indian and Jewish communities. It is believed that as much as 3 in 5 people in these communities suffer from FH.

It is a fact that the higher your blood cholesterol level, the greater your risk of developing heart disease or having a heart attack.

Artificial statins are the most popular cholesterol-lowering drugs available. The first statins were released in 1987 and have become the most widely prescribed drugs in history.

In 1985 scientists discovered that vitamin C together with other antioxidants taken in mega dosages, naturally controls the production of cholesterol. Vitamin C is described as a natural “statin”, it can be taken orally, affects the same enzyme (HMG-CoA Reductase), and it is as effective as today’s prescription drugs, without the side effects.

Of all the animals and plant species on earth, only human beings, high-order primates and guinea pigs have lost the ability to synthesize their own ascorbic acid. All other mammals produce it in their livers or kidneys in amounts averaging 5 400 mg per day (when adjusted for body weight). These findings led to the discovery that the few species that fail to synthesize their own ascorbic acid all suffer similar form of ‘heart disease’, which is not prevalent in other species.

During the late 1980’s a variant of the so-called “bad” LDL cholesterol called lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a) for short, was studied and found to be extremely bad. Lp(a) was found to be sticky and consists of a LDL molecule combined with a Apoprotein(a) [or apo(a)] molecule. Apo(a) is known as an adhesive protein. Scientists examined atherosclerotic plaque deposits post mortem and found Lp(a) as the main culprit in the formation of these scab-like build-ups.

Work that led to the 1987 Nobel prize in medicine discovered receptors on the sticky Lp(a) molecule called lysine and proline binding sites, cause the formation of plaque build-ups on the walls of blood vessels. By increasing the serum concentration of (1) ascorbic acid to increase collagen production and to improving the health and strength of arteries, and (2) the amino acids L-lysine and L-proline to prevent and dissolve plaque deposits, was found to be clinically effective.
