Episode notes
Cholesterol Myth
- Atherosclerosis is primarily caused by clotting tissue, not cholesterol.
- Focus on protecting artery linings, maintaining blood flow, and preventing clotting.
Structured Water's Role
- Structured water in arteries prevents lipids from reaching the artery walls.
- Damage and the body's clotting response cause plaque, not lipids themselves.
Rapid Plaque Formation
- Dr. Hussey developed plaque in his leg after a heart cath due to disturbed blood flow.
- This rapid plaque formation contradicts the idea that it takes years to develop.
