Human beings are the only mammals other than Guinea Pigs that do not produce their own Vitamin C. All of our Vitiamin C comes from dietary sources. This vitamin is absolutely essential to good arterial health, to the extent that a deficiency in the vitamin leads to arterial lesions. The body has a natural defense for arterial lesions, but it is effective only in the short term and is itself potentially fatal in the long term. Because of the high-pressure liquid environment inside an artery, lesions cannot easily heal and scabs as such cannot form. So the body produces a lipoprotein called LPa1 that binds LDL serum cholesterol into plaque, a sticky substance that adheres to lesions in the arterial wall. So integral to arterial health is Vitamin C that the body immediately responds to a deficiency of C by overproducing LPa1. Plaque is supposed to be the body's short-term fix for arterial lesions until the cause of the lesions is (usually Vitamin C deficiency) is remedied. Once balance is restored and the lesions are eliminated, the high pressure movement of corpuscles through the artery eventually clears away the plaque UNLESS the production of LPa1 triggered by the deficiency of Vitamin C is not remedied. Merely reducing dietary cholesterol doesn't do jack squat, because the body keeps producing LPa1, which will bind to ANY LDL cholesterol that is in the bloodstream, and because you cannot eliminate ALL cholesterol and fats because they are essential nutrients. So statins are attacking the wrong part of the problem. The trick is to get the LPa1 production down, not the level of essential cholesterol and fats.
So the secret is to take large quantities of Vitamin C. The RDA for Vitamin C is an absurdly low 60mg/day. The real minimum allowance is probably upwards of 500 mg./day, and the amount necessary to maintain good arterial health is more like 2000 mg./day. Now, you don't want to take those sorts of quantities of acidic C internally, because that will probably lead to an ulcer. You need to either get it through your food or to supplement with non-acidic Ester C, which is Vitamin C bound to calcium (which you also need). If you take 2000 mg. of Ester C daily, you will likely never need a statin and you won't have to worry about your cholesterol intake. If you already have a serious plaque problem, it will take some time on the high-C regimen before the LPa1 production falls off and the existent plaque gets moved out, so in such a case you will probably want to keep cholesterol consumption down until plaque levels are reduced. Doctors won't tell you this because they can't buy Bentleys selling Vitamin C.

Documents Show Texas Gov. Paid By Merck
Cervical Cancer Vaccine Maker Had Been Pushing For Mandate
(AP) AUSTIN, Texas Documents obtained by The Associated Press provide new detail about the relationship between Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office and Merck, the company that makes a new vaccine to prevent cervical cancer.
Texas this month became the first state to require the vaccine against the virus that causes cervical cancer when Perry issued an executive order requiring it for girls entering sixth grade. State lawmakers are considering overriding the measure.
The documents show that Perry's chief of staff met with aides about the vaccine on the same day that Merck donated $50,000 to Perry's campaign and a total of $5,000 to the campaigns of eight Texas lawmakers.
The governor's spokesman says the timing is just coincidence.
Merck has been criticized for lobbying to make the vaccines mandatory for young girls. The company stands to make billions of dollars if the vaccine is required nationwide.
