The Plaque-Reversing Study Cardiology Willfully Ignored for Over Two Decades
There was evidence from a patient case as far back as 15 years ago.

A patient whose physicians had advised the family to prepare for end-of-life care contacted me. She had severe carotid artery stenosis, was not a surgical candidate, and was diabetic.
She began drinking 8 ounces of 100% pomegranate juice daily. After 12 weeks, repeat carotid imaging was performed.
The scan showed a greater than 40% reduction in arterial plaque, and she no longer qualified for medical intervention. Clinically, she stopped falling, became more alert and oriented, lived longer than expected, and experienced a markedly improved quality of life.
These observations are consistent with published cardiology research showing that pomegranate polyphenols:
• Reduce LDL oxidation
• Decrease oxidative stress in arterial walls
• Improve paraoxonase-1 activity
• Slow or reverse carotid intima-media thickness progression in high-risk patients
