Unclogging Your Arteries – Natural Cardiology Second Edition

This is the introductory chapter to the second edition of my book on vascular medicine, which has been highly popular because it addresses a significant need among so many people. Below, you will find the core of my Natural Cardiology protocol. Natural Cardiology typically refers to books that emphasize non-pharmaceutical, lifestyle-based, or integrative strategies for preventing and managing cardiovascular disease, focusing on diet, nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and natural therapies rather than surgery or drugs.

However, below you will find a cutting-edge, potent natural medicine protocol designed to replace the toxic drugs that mainstream cardiologists currently use with little success. It offers a true revolution in cardiology through an easy-to-understand and follow system that will do no harm and offer hope when your doctor can give none.

Nothing is more important to understand and know than how to prevent and recover from cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is as significant a subject as curing cancer and age-related neurological decline. Heart disease is still the number one killer in the world, and surprisingly, it is spreading to the young. However, a new era in cardiology is beginning. We now have a new approach that doesn’t just slow heart disease — it reverses it at its biological root.

However, we have a tragic emergency situation. New research from the American Heart Association reveals that young adults between 18 and 25 are experiencing heart-related risks at unprecedented rates, specifically because of factors such as rising obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and mRNA vaccine-induced myocarditis, both clinical and subclinical, which unfortunately includes many of the people vaccinated.

Never has there been a greater need for a new form of cardiology because of all the damage done to 6 billion people’s hearts because of the mRNA injections. Even the slightest damage to the heart will be telling over the next few years, especially to the majority who are magnesium deficient. But sadly, for many, it has already ended with sudden death, even among the young. mRNA injections are cardiotoxic and should never be administered to children or anyone else, according to the new head of the FDA’s vaccine department.

Reversing a weakened heart and deep cleaning the vascular system were rare until recently. Now, there are natural and semi-natural drugs, devices, and holistic treatments that, when used effectively and intelligently, may reliably reverse a weakened heart and clean out plaque from blood vessels. The goal is to effectively mitigate the cardiovascular risks and metabolic complications associated with all forms of metabolic disease.

Below is an outline of the principal all-natural or semi-natural medicines that you will see detailed in this book. None of them are known or used by mainstream cardiologists, who rely on dangerous and ineffective Statin drugs that no one should be taking.

1. Cyclodextrins: The Game-Changer: Cyclodextrins sweep away toxic cholesterol and oxidize lipids from blood vessels.
• Cyclodextrins, described as “liquid suppositories” that strip cholesterol from vascular plaque, are positioned as a revolutionary tool. Their ability to reduce plaque volume, lower calcium scores, and alleviate symptoms such as angina within weeks is supported by credible studies.
• The accessibility of cyclodextrins—FDA-approved, safe for home use, and non-invasive—contrasts sharply with conventional cardiology’s high-risk, high-cost procedures.
2. Magnesium: The Unsung Hero
• Magnesium is framed as the “Robin” to cyclodextrins’ “Batman,” addressing calcium dysregulation, insulin resistance, and endothelial health. Magnesium restores the electrical and muscular balance of the cardiovascular system, thereby preventing spasms, arrhythmias, and inflammation.
• Because magnesium is essential for healthy control of blood vessel function, blood pressure regulation, and regular heart contractions, a deficiency in magnesium increases the risk of conditions such as endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and sudden death from cardiac arrest. Magnesium intake is also inversely associated with coronary artery calcification. Magnesium deficiencies can complicate any problem with the calcification of any body part because calcium becomes toxic in the presence of such deficiencies. Magnesium controls calcium.
• Reversing insulin resistance is the first step to reversing diabetes and heart disease. Magnesium improves insulin resistance, serum lipid profiles, and reduces inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and platelet aggregability. Magnesium acts as a mild calcium antagonist on vascular smooth muscle tone and post-receptor insulin signaling; it is critically involved in energy metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, glucose utilization, ATPase functions, the release of neurotransmitters, and endothelial cell function and secretion. Magnesium has a significant impact on glucose metabolism and blood lipid levels.
3. Polyenyl phosphatidylcholine (PPC) repairs and regenerates the cellular membranes of arteries, making them supple and healthy again. PPC is a purified extract of phosphatidylcholine rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, typically derived from soybeans. It is essentially a form of phosphatidylcholine (the major phospholipid in cell membranes). PPC has garnered interest for its role in cell membrane repair, enhancing cholesterol metabolism, and exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It has been used as a hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) agent and, more recently, in cardiovascular therapy (notably the Plaquex® protocol) to treat atherosclerosis.
4. Nattokinase & Other Enzymes have potential cardiovascular benefits, particularly in managing blood clotting, plaque buildup, and reducing blood pressure.
5. L-Arginine plays a vital role in cardiovascular health by enhancing endothelial function and improving blood flow. L-Arginine is the common substrate for two enzymes, arginase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS). As a precursor to nitric oxide, it is a key component of endothelial-derived relaxing factor.
6. Chlorine Dioxide – Several studies have found a strong relationship between the bacterium causing gum disease and atherosclerosis. The same bacterium that has been cultured from the crud, or plaque, is seen in arteries. People with gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) have two to three times the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or other serious cardiovascular event. “Periodontal disease increases the body’s burden of inflammation,” says periodontist Dr. Hatice Hasturk of the Harvard-affiliated Forsyth Institute. CLO₂ is probably the most extensively tested disinfectant in history. It is a safe and effective biocide. It has been used to eliminate waterborne pathogens and is excellent for attacking biofilms in the mouth and on vessel walls.
7. Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy – Patients who had suffered cardiac arrest and were resuscitated were given hydrogen inhalation during their critical care. After three months, survival was roughly 20% higher in the hydrogen group compared to controls, representing a relative increase of around 40%.
8. Carbon Dioxide Inhalation Therapy – Knowledge and appreciation of the effects of CO2 on the heart are necessary for optimal clinical management in perioperative and critical care settings because CO2 impacts coronary blood flow and myocardial oxygen supply.
9. DMSO provides a variety of anti-clotting activities that are similar to (but eclipse) the effects of aspirin and, unlike aspirin, does not have any associated adverse effects. DMSO is remarkably effective at eliminating circulatory obstructions (e.g., clots). A leading DMSO researcher found that 50% of patients with Raynaud’s syndrome experienced symptom relief with DMSO, and that thrombophlebitis responds well to DMSO. Likewise, DMSO has been shown to improve diabetic circulatory impairments such as peripheral neuropathy or diabetic ulcers (where one study of hundreds of patients reported over a 94% treatment success rate) and prevent future amputations.
10. Lithium Orotate Mood Stabilization and Mental Health: Widely used as a nootropic, lithium orotate supports mood balance, reduces anxiety, and promotes emotional wellness by modulating neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate. It’s particularly noted for helping those with irritability, mood swings, or a genetic predisposition to mood disorders, often as an adjunct to other therapies. Also has cardiovascular effects, and one of the principal reasons is that it deals with stress.
11. EWOT – Exercise with Oxygen Therapy is the process of breathing purified oxygen while exercising. This enables additional oxygen to be absorbed by your red blood cells, blood plasma, and tissue fluids. Vascular Brownout occurs when a hypoxic stress event causes inflammation in the vascular endothelium. This reduces the inside size of the blood vessels that carry blood, creating a bottleneck. Each bottleneck obstructs blood flow, cutting off oxygen to the tissues downstream.

These medicines are revolutionizing modern cardiology and should become the new gold standard for reversing atherosclerosis, not just by managing symptoms, but by actively cleaning, repairing, and restoring the vascular system. There is no escaping the fact that mainstream cardiology often relegates its heart patients to a slow but inevitable decline. The same is true for diabetic care. The best conventional medicine can do is delay the progression of these diseases.

Dr. James Roberts, an integrative cardiologist and world expert on cyclodextrins, once practiced as he was taught: invasive cardiology, one emergency after another, crisis after crisis. At first, it seemed noble. Heroic, even. Saving lives one procedure at a time.

But over time, a deeper truth became clear: The system wasn’t genuinely healing hearts. It was only managing crises and causing a cycle of suffering. Patients kept coming back, broken in different ways, patched up temporarily, never truly healed. Each procedure was billed. Each crisis kept the machine running. And so, the cycle persists, generating significant income for cardiologists.

Modern cardiology, despite its technological achievements, often overlooks the crucial fact: the cause of arterial disease is not a shortage of stents, balloons, or bypass surgeries.

The cause is deeper:

• Chronic inflammation
• High levels of glucose and insulin
• Smoking
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Metabolic dysfunction
• Environmental toxins
• Emotional, spiritual disconnection and stress

Without addressing these root causes, invasive procedures are like fighting a wildfire by spraying water on a few trees—while the forest burns unseen. However, some, if not most, of the causes are difficult and take time to address. Fortunately, we can quickly address the effects of these causes, which include the build-up of blood plague. It is now possible to remove plaque at home and improve blood flow.

Dr. James Roberts, an expert on cyclodextrins and PPC, said, “Early in my career, I practiced invasive cardiology as I was taught. I was dealing with crises, putting out fires, and doing numerous invasive procedures. Since we weren’t addressing the underlying causes of arterial disease, patients kept returning with more crises, leading us to perform invasive procedures on the same patients repeatedly. Of course, being paid each time, however, is not the best way to practice cardiology. If you need an invasive procedure, you need an invasive procedure, but you should only need one.”

A true intervention should be a turning point, not a treadmill.
Yet in the conventional model, repeat business has replaced real healing.

One of the greatest silent killers is arteriosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of the tiny arteries and arterioles. Unlike the larger arterial plaques that block main vessels, arteriolosclerosis quietly strangles tissues and organs over time, leading to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and more.

In the hands of physicians like Dr. Roberts, cyclodextrins and PPC, among other positive interventions, are not just tools. They are weapons against cardiovascular disease. They offer a new vision for cardiology: One where healing the vessels comes before crisis. One where restoration replaces repetition. One where, even when on the verge of death, one can come back and reverse cardiovascular disease without surgical intervention.

The Way Forward: True Cardiology

The future of cardiology lies not in better machines, faster surgeries, or more invasive technologies. It lies in going upstream—before the crisis and death ensue. We call that prevention, and it is not difficult to perceive that hundreds of millions need this. I was not fortunate enough to understand and sense what was happening in my arteries until I personally was an emergency patient needing an invasive procedure. Even then, my Natural Allopathic Medicine protocol pulled me away from the edge of a heart attack or worse, with no surgery required.

Conventional cardiology is excellent at addressing acute heart problems, yet more people than ever are dying of heart and vascular diseases. Globally, around 18 million people die each year from cardiovascular disease. This represents 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. However, the leading underlying cause of death is plaque buildup, the fat deposits in our blood vessels that obstruct blood flow to vital organs. And now we have the disaster of mRNA genetic vaccines causing widespread heart problems, causing more people than ever to die suddenly via cardiac arrest.

Metabolic Disasters End Up with Cardiovascular Calamity

Doctors who treat diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease use the wrong drugs for the wrong reasons (think of statins and metformin), rely on invasive and expensive surgeries, and have failed to protect their patients from the heart-damaging effects of mRNA injections. Children as young as two years of age suddenly have heart attacks, which makes one wonder if modern medicine has come entirely off the rails.

Furthermore, recent research published in The Lancet shows that nearly three-quarters of US adults are overweight or obese. This helps explain why 75% of the population is at risk for metabolic disorders. Metabolic syndrome, which includes a group of metabolic problems like central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, significantly increases the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes.

Conclusion

Regarding the global economic impact, some diseases are so prevalent and have such a high-cost burden on health systems worldwide that an approach to reverse their cause would interest investors and governments as much as patients. You would think so, but that is not the case since the best answers are not patentable. The medical-industrial complex is not interested in anything that does not yield a profit.

Modern cardiology must separate fact from fiction, allowing patients to establish a clear understanding of their cardiovascular health and enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment. Unclogging Your Arteries aims to help individuals discover a path to cardiovascular healing that provides them with confidence and enables them to recover from their heart and vascular issues without the need for repeated surgery.
