Heart disease is an umbrella term for a number of different diseases affecting the heart. As of 2007, it is the leading cause of death in the United States, England, Canada and Wales, killing one person every 34 seconds in the United States alone.
The blood vessels consist of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. All blood is carried in these vessels. The arteries, which are strong, flexible, and resilient, carry blood away from the heart and bear the highest blood pressures. Because arteries are elastic, they narrow (recoil) passively when the heart is relaxing between beats and thus help maintain blood pressure. The arteries branch into smaller and smaller vessels, eventually becoming very small vessels called arterioles. Arteries and arterioles have muscular walls that can adjust their diameter to increase or decrease blood flow to a particular part of the body.

Homocysteine Danger Seems to Be Ignored by Doctors  

During my routine medical check up last week for the insurance company, I was asking the doctor what is the cost of testing for Homocysteine and the GP was actually quite surprised I would say or shocked by my question.

Why do you need and want to test it? The doctor asked.

I told him in a book "What your doctor does not know about nutritional medicine may be Killing You" by Dr. Ray beach that a fairly large proportion of people who died of heart attack with high cholesterol levels but high levels of homocysteine .

The doctor asked me not completely trust what the book or information on the Internet says that the box is not important in comparison to control my cholesterol.

I do with the doctor in a way that we not only fully or blindly trust what we have heard, and follow, but we must all have an attitude like that of students, students who study the information and our own verdict and in each case that the information is correct, then we should consider it our own facts. If the information is not correct, then we have our own due diligence to learn more and what can be our own facts.

We should not only a declaration that we do not trust any kind of information that we see or read and ignore the whole thing. I would like again to quote that goes like this: "The acquisition of knowledge costs money, but try ignorance!"

What is your take on it? Do you believe that homocysteine is dangerous?

 

Perhaps we should all make an effort to find out more and leave me a comment at http://www.howcanigethealthy.com/healthblog/general/homocysteine-danger-seems-to-be-ignored-by-doctors/.
