•There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and the real data shows lower cholesterol significantly increases one’s risk of death.

•An alternative model (which the medical industry buried) proposes that the blood clots the body uses to heal arterial damage, once healed, create the characteristic atherosclerotic lesions associated with heart disease.

•The evidence for the blood clot model is much stronger than the cholesterol hypothesis and provides many critical insights for treating heart disease.

•The primary approach to treating heart disease is to prescribe cholesterol lowering statin drugs (to the point, nearly a trillion dollars have now been spent on them).

•Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are minuscule (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are vast (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).

•Multiple 2026 studies have further shown statins do not extend the lives of the healthy individuals they are primarily prescribed to, while a new wave of expensive patented cholesterol drugs is being approved simply for lowering cholesterol—many of which are being marketed to the same “statin intolerant” patients the industry insists are imagining their injuries.

•In this article we will explore the specific injuries caused by statin drugs, the forgotten causes of cardiovascular disease, and our preferred treatments for heart and vascular diseases.

Today, I want to share the specific type of protein you should focus on for your specific health concern:

I am told by some sources 40% of people have the MTHFR gene mutation although that figure is disputed.

I understand not all but many of those people do not do well with folic acid and are better off with the natural form, folate.

Adding something to any food, let alone a staple such as bread, that is destructive to the health of some of the population seems destructive to me.

In 2005, in the peer-reviewed journal Biogerontology, they tested a wheat sprout extract to see whether it “could mimic the thymus action on recovering age-related alterations,” and whether it could treat “an age-associated pathology, the cataract in dogs” (Basso et al., Biogerontology, 2005).

Here is what they reported:

• Aging liver cells moved back toward youth. In old mice, the wheat sprout extract restored the declining DNA synthesis of liver cells, much as calf thymus extract did. It also brought abnormally high DNA and protein content back down “to levels observed in young mice.”

• Sprouting multiplied the biological activity. The sprouts showed 10 to 40 times more phosphorylation activity than the seeds they grew from.

• Cataracts receded. Old dogs given the extract by mouth for one month showed a 25–40% reduction in lens opacity.

Life has been encoding regulatory information into food since long before there were laboratories. A sprouting seed is a burst of growth signals: peptides, phosphates, antioxidants, and chlorophyll, all working together to tell a living system to grow and renew. When aging researchers asked whether that signal could stand in for the thymus, the answer they published was yes, at least for the markers they measured.

This is what I mean when I say food is information. The most important longevity peptide may not come from a vial. It may come from the soil.

Scientists found that the ovaries remain biologically active after reproduction ends in mice, continuing to change at the molecular level instead of becoming inactive once their reproductive role ends.

Aging transformed the mouse ovary from a primarily reproductive organ into one with many immune-related characteristics, suggesting it may continue influencing whole-body biology long after fertility ends.

Important changes begin well before reproductive cycles stop, as communication between ovarian cells gradually becomes less coordinated, helping explain why reproductive function declines over time instead of stopping all at once.

The post-reproductive mouse ovary continued changing at the genetic level even after follicle depletion and fibrosis had stabilized, showing that the organ remains biologically dynamic despite major structural changes already being complete.

Supporting healthy aging after menopause means creating a healthier environment for your remaining ovarian tissue by lowering chronic inflammation, protecting mitochondrial function, reducing exposure to estrogen-like chemicals, and maintaining strong metabolic health.

Vestibular migraine often causes dizziness, imbalance and motion sensitivity without a severe headache, so many people spend months or even years treating the wrong condition before receiving the correct diagnosis.

Looking at all of your symptoms together instead of treating each one separately makes it much easier to recognize vestibular migraine and begin a treatment plan that targets the underlying neurological problem.

Keeping a detailed symptom journal helps uncover your personal trigger pattern, allowing you to identify factors such as poor sleep, stress, skipped meals, weather changes or certain foods before they lead to another attack.

Symptoms such as brain fog, light and sound sensitivity, blurred vision, motion sickness and feeling worse in busy visual environments provide important clues that your dizziness may be part of vestibular migraine rather than an inner ear disorder.

Long-term symptom management may benefit from reducing the triggers that repeatedly overload your nervous system while supporting healthy cellular energy production, rather than simply trying to stop dizziness after an attack begins.
