Just read your comments regarding Dr. Stephan Sinatra (cardiologist)
He gave good advice I think, however I do believe he died several years ago. From what I read, he had a heart attack or heart disease.
Would you have any further comments?

In reply to naomi zuckerman. Unfortunately, ALA has poor conversion into EPA and DHA so we don't recommend that as a good source to seek out for the purposes of increasing omega 3 fatty acids. Yes, turmeric is a great herb for reducing inflammation and supporting heart health!

why no mention of ALA and flax seed oil as sources of omega 3s?

why talk about curcurmin when it is much better to take the whole product of turmeric?
GOD and mother nature did not make any extracts! in their infinite wisdom they made whole products, the other constituents thereof all working together to achieve the desired results.

In reply to George Kings. Thanks George. We recommend 20 mcg of K2 per 25 lbs of body weight for maintenance. So if you are 230 lbs, that would be roughly 180 mcg of K2 daily.

In reply to Joe.

Hi Dr Jockers,

Excellent report! Can you explain the amount of K2 needed for maintenance. I’m not understanding what’s written. 200mcg for every 25 lbs? For me that would be 1,800 mcg per day? Is that correct? I’m 6’3” and 230 lbs.

Thank you.

After my first relatively minor heart attack, I could have avoided two more over the course of the next seven years (the third one nearly fatal, requiring open heart surgery) if — instead of installing a counter-productive stent and telling me to avoid eating saturated fats and cholesterol and to replace butter with margarine — my now ex- cardiologist had simply asked me, “Greg, have you ever had a root canal?” My now-ex conventional dentist knew about all three of my heart attacks and my 30+ year old root canal and never thought to check for a possible infection there because the ADA continues to insist that there is no possible connection between root canals and heart disease. Eventually I happened to make an appointment with a holistic dentist for a second opinion after my old dentist recommended another root canal (which I didn’t really need at all). On my first visit with my new holistic dentist (who knew nothing yet about my health history) he discovered a massive infection in the jaw bone above the old root canal and told me, “You had better have that dead tooth removed and the infection in the bone above it cleaned out before it causes you to have a heart attack.” I got on line, found out about the work of Weston A. Price and Hal Huggins, and had him take care of doing that for me. Surprise, surprise, now I have no more signs of heart disease.

Other kinds of oral infections, especially a cavitation resulting from an improperly pulled tooth, can cause the same problem. I highly recommend that anyone who has developed signs of heart disease make an appointment to see a holistic dentist who is trained in the Huggins Procedure to rule out that possibility.

Unfortunately nearly all conventional cardiologists will automatically prescribe statins, which reduce the liver’s ability to produce Co-Q10 (see, for example, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3096178/), which leads to heart-health destroying mitochondrial dysfunction and makes matters even worse. I eventually discovered that adding PQQ to my Co-Q10 supplementation also made a world of difference in my recovery from the neuromuscular damage that the statins also caused.
