How To Prevent STROKE

How To Prevent The STROKE, ISCHEMIC STROKE, THROMBOTIC STROKE, EMBOLIC STROKE, HEMORRHAGIC STROKE. The Thrombotic stroke is caused as the result of unhealthy blood vessels becoming clogged with a buildup of fatty deposits, calcium or blood clotting factors such as Fibrinogen, Homocysteine and LDL cholesterol. We generally refer to this as atherosclerosis disease. More recent information indicates that a chronic inflammatory process is also a cause of the arterial damage that leads to stroke. The elevated C-reactive protein is an indicator of underlying inflammatory disease

The Thrombotic stroke is caused as the result of unhealthy blood vessels becoming clogged with a buildup of fatty deposits, calcium or blood clotting factors such as Fibrinogen, Homocysteine and LDL cholesterol. We generally refer to this as atherosclerosis disease. More recent information indicates that a chronic inflammatory process is also a cause of the arterial damage that leads to stroke. The elevated C-reactive protein is an indicator of underlying inflammatory disease

Testing your Blood to avoid cardiovascular disease

Blood Test	What the "Standard Reference Range" Allows	The "Optimal" Level Where YOU Want To Be
Fibrinogen	Up to 460 mg/dL	Under 300 mg/dL
C-reactive protein	Up to 4.9 mg/L	Under 2 mg/L Some studies indicate C-reactive protein levels should be below 1.3 mg/L
Homocysteine	Up to 15 micro mol/L	Under 7 micro mol/L
Glucose	Up to 109 mg/dL	Under 100 mg/dL
Iron	Up to 180 mg/dL	Under 100 mcg/dL
Cholesterol	Up to 199 mg/dL	Between 180-200 mg/dL
LDL cholesterol	Up to 129 mg/dL	Under 100 mg/dL
HDL cholesterol	No lower than 35 mg/dL	Over 50 mg/dL
Triglycerides	Up to 199 mg/dL	Under 100 mg/dL
DHEA	Males: No lower than 80 mcg/dL Females: No lower than 35 mcg/dL	Between 400-500 mcg/dL Between 350-430 mcg/dL

Please note that cholesterol levels below 180 present increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke and other diseases.

Nutrients that can lower Fibrinogen : Vitamin C - 2000 mg a day, Niacin flush - free - 1000 mg. EPA/DHA from fish oil - 2800 mg. Bromelain - 2000 mg.

Both fish and olive oil have been show to lower Fibrinogen, about 6 grams daily.

One way to lower Homocysteine levels : Use extra vitamin B6, B12, Folic Acid. Taking higher doses of the B-Vitamins along with Trimethylglycine (TMG) to optimally suppress Homocysteine.

C - reactive protein can be suppressed by : ibuprofen, aspirin, or vitamin E. Supplements such as DHEA, vitamin K and nettle leaf extract can help suppress the dangerous inflammatory cytokines that can cause C-reactive protein elevation.

Since half of the people who have heart attacks do not have high Cholesterol and Triglycerides levels, a new report recommends the addition of C-reactive protein test in order to improve the ability to detect "absolute coronary risk".
