Antagonistic People Have Thicker Carotid Walls, Increased CVD Risk

Linda’s comment:  All of this can be avoided if people would discipline themselves and adopt the FIGHT protocol!!    At least the Beyond Chelation IMPROVED will lower the blood viscosity….I don’t know what it is going to take to make folks understand that allopathic medicine will NOT fix thick Carotid walls….All the white coats want to do it poke more toxic drugs into you INSTEAD of cleaning out the arteries and decreasing the CVD risk.  I get so frustrated when I hear about those who are having STROKES and heart attacks, when I know for a fact they CAN BE PREVENTED…
 
ListenUP folks and take charge of your own health care journeys…YOU are the leaders of your healthcare team and the white coats are merely members.  In the alternative world the doctors WELCOME the philosophy of patients, when the patient tells the doctor, they are their own healthcare leader…The alternative docs know that these types of patients can and will reach their wellness goals and work more closely with the holistic/alternative ways of healthcare!!  Makes the job of the alternative doctors much easier…
 
Make sure you review the FIGHT Webinars here on this blog…watch them over and over until you can get your head wrapped around the idea that you don’t have to suffer from strokes and heart attacks…..

Excerpt:

Studying more than 5000 people in Sardinia, Italy, US scientists found that those who scored high for antagonistic traits on a standard personality test had greater thickening of the carotid arteries on ultrasound compared with people who were more agreeable. Intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, say Dr Angelina R Sutin (National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD) and colleagues in their paper published online August 16, 2010 in Hypertension.

“We found that although men tended to have thicker arterial walls than women, antagonistic women had [thickness of] arterial walls similar to that of antagonistic men,” Sutin told heartwire . “So the association between antagonism and arterial thickness was much stronger for women.” And although arterial thickening is a sign of aging, young people with antagonistic traits already had such thickening, even after controlling for confounding factors such as smoking, she said.
