Vitamin C and Thrombosis

It is well known that vWf (von Willebrand factor) is essential for platelet aggregation in clotting. Those individuals deficient in it are somewhat hemophiliac.

It is also known the vWf is exposed and present at sites of endothelial (inner most layer of cells of artery) injury, at which platelets are attracted like iron filings to a magnet. This begins the cascade of thrombosis which is responsible for end-stage ischemic events. This is true whether there is or isn't a large plaque.

It is best not to have a plaque, as this can be a chronic homing beacon for trouble, but it must be remembered that the biochemical cascade is not cholesterol causing a jam in the lumen of the artery (that never happens), but a blood clot.

This may happen with or without a plaque bursting, although plaque burst definitely will expose the subendothelial vWf stuck to collagen that makes platelets stick.

PGI2 inhibits this platelet adhesion extremely effectively. PGI2 is prostacyclin.

Administering supranormal levels of ascorbic acid greatly enhances the levels of prostacyclin production into the bloodstream.

Clearly the FDA is corrupt and evil. Oat fiber cereal (proven to lower cholesterol) a drug? Ridiculous.

Please do your part to preserve your freedom and liberty in preserving your health naturally:

Defend DSHEA from going down.

There will be countless arguments by the pill pusher-money cabal to take this down. Then, all your neighborhood grocery stores, drug stores, your Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Aldi(s), and convenience stores will be empty and barren of nature's pharmacy. The tyranny of the greedy will have made your shelves barren of natural medicine, and will force you to pay and pay and pay needlessly for drugs that enrich them, may not work, or may even cause worse problems. This is not freedom, it is slavery.

Please do your part to defend your own freedom.

Enough already with "alternative medicine" and "herbal remedies" labels

Plant medicines were the source of all synthetic, pilled medicines today.

Everything is molecular in nature, so it is no use to call an herb less medicinal than a "small molecule," because both are the same. Herbs contain small molecules, and small molecules exist in "herbs."

Pharmaceutical media tries to minimalize and trivialize "herbal medicine" by trying to coin it as some kind of culinary problem. It isn't. "Herbal medicine" has some very effective medicines, some as powerful if not better than conventional pharmaceuticals, and for far cheaper.

On the other hand, we must be wary of unscrupulous herbal medicine dealers who sell things that are tainted with lead, mercurcy, microbes, and other taints. Those who are dogmatic by either polemic are very suspect in their character and may be more interested in their egos or their position in a hierarchy than actually helping people.

To quote a salesman of the pharmaceutical industry, "We are not interested in curing anyone. We are a business." When I hear anyone say something to the tune of "It's just business," they are proclaiming publicly that they have no soul other than that they have sold in a Faustian deal with the devil. They proclaim that they choose to be venal and perfidious, as opposed to being honest and naked in their dealings with their fellow human beings.

As far as your health goes, I would never be anything less than brutally honest and unbiased, ever looking out for you in an impartial way without judgement. From this standpoint, I can say that it is definitely unfavorable for DSHEA to be voted down by any government official who is conspiring with Pharma business.

Some work I did on Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy on the Infarcted Myocardium

"Myocardial survival signaling in response to stem cell transplantation."


Osiris Therapeutics had something going on in this respect. We're talking "too late," and "too far gone," not prevention.

Why a hot cuppa is better for you than you think:

Sure, there is the addictive caffeine, and the tea stains, but imagine that caffeine megalomania of coffee toned down by the ingredients of L-theanine, a psychoactive and immunoactive ingredient. So when you see your workers or colleagues drinking tea, it is so that they are more efficient, focused, and mentally stable. I once worked with a high-strung man who claimed that all I did was sit around and drink tea. Well dude, if it wasn't for me drinking tea all day, making the molecular lab from scratch thanks to the good doctor, you wouldn't be working there to complain about everything.

Black tea and L-theanine.

Anti-proliferative effect of ascorbic acid

This is a fascinating paper. Of course, one should read it and see the methods and dosage.
