Atherosclerosis, a progressive buildup of plaque in the arteries, is the number one killer disease as it leads to many health problems including heart attack, stroke and even kidney disease. (1)

Because it is a degenerative disease, one often is not diagnosed with the problem until serious heath issues have already happened, including high blood pressure.

Unfortunately, modern medicine can only do so much to help treat patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Standard medicine, or pharmaceuticals, can only delay the progression of arterial plaque buildup, which in turn can delay complications. But can we be proactive and avoid complications or even reverse plaque buildup? Some research says, Yes We Can.

Nobel prize winner and found of Orthomolecular Medicine, Linus Pauling along with Dr. Matthias Rath demonstrated in lab research that high doses of Vitamin C along with lysine helps to naturally slow the development of atherosclerosis while, reverse the buildup of the sticky LDL cholesterol and strengthen the arteries. Other research has shown foods such as cayenne peppers (in particular the capsaicin they contain) can help thin the blood as well as discourages platelet adhesion (the sticky buildup in the arterial walls).

By assisting our body's natural abilities to cleanse and detoxify, we can help remove substances that are culprits to ill health while at the same time building up our systems of elimination to work efficiently and thoroughly.

The following is a list of foods and supplements that can help you with an artery cleanse in your daily regimen.  Of course any healthy food or nutritional supplements are far more effective with a healthy and balanced diet of whole, organic foods and plenty of fresh water.
