Garlic - a recommended natural step in the fight against heart disease

Following the publication of research from the Wolfson Institute at Barts Hospital and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry stating that offering treatment for heart disease to all those over 55 with statins and blood pressure pills would achieve the same results as screening through tests like blood pressure or cholesterol.

Dr Hilary Jones comments, “Professor Nicholas Wald’s report sets the age of 55 as the main predictor of heart disease. It is very important to also look at each individual patient’s circumstance and to consider the well publicised risk factors – overweight, blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. There is also a real concern over side effects: Indigestion, muscle pain and flatulence.

"These side effects are common and probably underestimated and it is thought you would have to treat a 100 people with statins to save just two lives. Undoubtedly there will be benefits for a few but many would experience unpleasant adverse reactions unnecessarily. Nor would it be desirable to abandon screening for high risk patients under 55 either.

"My recommendation is to consider lifestyle changes including lowering stress, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and adopting a healthy eating regime. Simple steps, such as including garlic in your daily routine has to be a better option than having half the population taking unnecessary pharmaceuticals,” comments Dr Hilary Jones. Other experts also acknowledge the circulatory benefits of garlic supplements.
