Atherosclerosis: The Non-Healing Wound Theory
from The Balancing Point Podcast · host John Nieters
In this solo episode of The Balancing Point, I explore a provocative theory that atherosclerosis is not simply a cholesterol problem, but a chronic non-healing wound. We discuss inflammation, oral infections, vitamin C, oxidative stress, plaque formation, and several inexpensive lab tests that may provide important insight into cardiovascular risk. This episode offers a different perspective on preventing heart disease and supporting vascular health. - - - - - John is nationally and internationally known for treating chronic and degenerative health conditions known as “knotty” diseases in Chinese Medicine.
