Stop America’s #1 Killer! by Thomas Levy, MD, JD, board certified cardiologist, shows through extensive research why “arterial scurvy”—vitamin C deficiency—could be the cause of all coronary heart disease. “My research clearly indicates that atherosclerosis ap-pears to be initiated by a deficiency of vitamin C in the innermost lining of the arteries,” notes Dr. Levy. “This deficiency sets in motion various plaque-building processes.” Citing over 650 scientific references and employing years of intense research, Dr. Levy reveals several surprising facts, including: arteries are commonly depleted of vitamin C, even in individuals who appear healthy and well-nourished; even when cholesterol is largely eliminated from diet, vitamin C deficiency can cause cholesterol accumulation in heart arteries; and large daily does of vitamin C and comparable doses of lysine reduce anginal chest pain.
