To strengthen the heart and clean out the artery walls implement an exercise program,starting slowly and gradually increasing to aerobic activity. The diet should be changed toeliminate all refined starches, white flour, sugar and saturated fats. Reducing the intake ofsaturated animal fats and animal proteins will help prevent atheromas, which contain highamounts of lipids (fat-related products such as cholesterol and triglycerides). There aremany sources of bad fat in the modern diet. Foods to avoid include margarine, deep friedfood, and rancid oils. Polyunsaturated oils are good to eat at room temperature, but shouldnever be used in cooking. Eating high-fibre foods can often lower fat and cholesterol. Saltshould also be eliminated. Lecithin, Vitamin C and B complex should be added to the diet, asthey will assist in reducing lipid levels in the blood and in strengthening blood vessels. Single Herbs: Reishi, Cayenne, Garlic, Ginger, Siberian Ginseng (anti-atherosclerotics andcirculatory tonics); Alfalfa (especially the sprouts), Dandelion, Chlorella, Black Radish. Combinations: Reishi Extract (3 capsules, 3 times daily), Reishi/Cordyceps, CleansaHerb(two, twice daily), Chlorella (1,250 mg, twice daily).
