"Only 10% of heart attacks are caused by severely clogged arteries! 90% of heart attacks are caused by inflamed but not necessarily clogged arteries (less than 20% to 30% blockage, which is often not accompanied by angina (chest pains))."

Inside the artery walls, there is a lining. This lining gets sores. In fact, I call them "festering sores" on it, like pimples on a teenager's face. These festering sores are consequence of damage from your fork and spoon — cholesterol and fat — been attacking these arteries. So you get these little pimples.

These little pimples — whenever you have an injury like you cut your hand, what happens is the blood clot forms on top — so the pimple pops; blood clot forms on top. If it just forms a small blood clot, then that organizes into scar tissue. So you've got a little layer inside; a layer of blockage

What happens a couple months later? Another pimple pops, another blood clot forms on top of that and then fibrous tissue — scar tissue — sets in. It builds up a little bit more.

Finally you get these big blockages through these repeated ruptures of these volatile plaques as we call it. But sometimes, one of these volatile plaques ruptures and the blood clot is so big that it blocks the whole heart artery. Then you have that sudden heart attack!

So this explains to people why perfectly healthy people drop dead of heart disease. A half of them think there's nothing wrong. You put your husband to bed at night, you wake up the next morning, shake him and he's not there! "He was perfect! He was perfect last night when I put him to bed!" What happened? He had thousands of tiny sores and one of them popped!

So what people need to know that it's a very unforgiving disease and this is the way it occurs, and that you have close to 100% control over the formation of those sores! It's due to the the cheese and the chicken and the beef and the garbage you keep shoveling down those arteries! As soon you stop doing that, these little tiny pimples: they quieten down and then the heart attack risk goes away.

"To review, more than half of all heart disease deaths are sudden … up to 55% of men and 68% of women have no clinically recognized heart disease before sudden death."
