Around the world over thousands of years, patients have received root-cause holistic treatment for their diseases with personalized
treatment, diet and lifestyle modification recommendations. Read the inspiring true stories of practitioners who heal people and who recovered
from their problems after hyperlipidemia treatment at their clinics. Many have been generous to share their knowledge and experience for the benefit
of other holistic experts and patients alike. Many practitioners share their Case Studies and the healing powers of hyperlipidemia and related therapies
as they heal people who benefited from our expertise.
Dose response of almonds on coronary heart risk factors: blood lipids, oxidized low-density lipoproteins, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, and pulmonary nitric oxide: a randomized, controlled, crossover trial.
September 2002
Although recent studies have indicated that nut consumption may improve levels of blood lipids, nuts are not generally recommended as snacks for hyperlipidemic subjects because of their high fat content. Furthermore, the effective dose is still unknown. METHODS AND
Results:
The dose-response effects of whole almonds, taken as snacks, were compared with low-saturated fat (

Direct comparison of dietary portfolio vs statin on C-reactive protein.
July 2005
3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) markedly reduce serum cholesterol and have anti-inflammatory effects. The effect of cholesterol-lowering diets on inflammatory biomarkers is less well known. OBJECTIVE:
To compare the efficacy of a dietary combination (portfolio) of cholesterol-lowering foods vs a statin in reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) as a biomarker of inflammation linked to increased cardiovascular risk.
METHODS:
In all, 34 hyperlipidemic subjects completed three 1-month treatments as outpatients in random order: a very low-saturated fat diet (control); the same diet with 20 mg lovastatin (statin); and a diet high in plant sterols (1.0 g/1000 kcal), soy protein (21.4 g/1000 kcal), viscous fibers (9.8 g/1000 kcal), and almonds (14 g/1000 kcal) (portfolio). Fasting blood samples were obtained at weeks 0, 2, and 4.
Results:
Using the complete data, no treatment reduced serum CRP. However, when subjects with CRP levels above the 75th percentile for previously reported studies (>3.5 mg/l) were excluded, CRP was reduced similarly on both statin, -16.3 +/- 6.7% (n = 23, P = 0.013) and dietary portfolio, -23.8 +/- 6.9% (n = 25, P = 0.001) but not the control, 15.3 +/- 13.6% (n = 28, P = 0.907). The percentage CRP change from baseline on the portfolio treatment (n = 25) was greater than the control (n = 28, P = 0.004) but similar to statin treatment (n = 23, P = 0.349). Both statin and portfolio treatments were similar in reducing CRP and numerically more effective than control but only the change in portfolio was significant after the Bonferroni adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: A combination of cholesterol-lowering foods reduced C-reactive protein to a similar extent as the starting dose of a first-generation statin.

Curcumin potentiates the pro-apoptotic effects of sulindac sulfone in colorectal cancer.
April 2010
The use of sulindac sulfone (SFN) for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy is limited due to its toxicity. The present study was carried out to examine whether curcumin, a novel chemopreventive agent, can potentiate the effects of low dosages of SFN in CRC treatment.
METHODS:
HT-29 CRC cells were exposed to SFN (200 – 400 microM), curcumin (5 – 10 microM) or their combination. The cytotoxic effects of the drugs were evaluated using growth inhibition assays. Annexin V/PI and cell cycle analysis were employed to study the mechanism of action of the drugs. The therapeutic efficacy of the drugs in vivo was examined using the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) model. The treatment groups included eight rats/group.
Results:
Treatment of cells with curcumin and SFN resulted in a synergistic inhibitory effect of 50 – 90% (p
