The Antidote to Blocked Arteries
The antidote is red wine. There's been very little science done about it. Odd. One of the most marvel cures in the history of mankind and the scientists are too stupid to study it. Probably more interested in the fecal matter of
medieval Vikings or which Tyrannosaurs had feathers and so on. I mean, these kids never grow up! If you want to waste science I wish you'd do it somewhere else.
Well, someone noticed that the French, instead of dying like flies from their super high
cholesterol diet, instead live long healthy lives -- but how. It could be, they hated to admit, none other than the wine. The French are so avid about imbibing their
famous wines as well and their vins ordinarres that it's even a sort of patriotic thing to do. And the vindage, or grape harvesting, is a national event in which many of the citizenry actually
volunteer to help in the "recolt".
I heard of one guy who bred a certain type of dog to work in the vineyards, known as the grape dane. Must have been from Denmark. Location has a lot to do with it. A guy in South Carolina had him a sad old dog once that fetched water
melons, but that was a melon collie. Dang. Somebody should have told the Melon institute about that one. Those scientists need a breed of doggies that will fetch
laboratories for them: the lab retriever.
Well, once they found out about the wine, some of the absent minded scientists actually were distracted from being side tracked long enough to actually do a bit of research on it. They discovered that it had something to do with substances known in chemistry as "phelals". Well, that didn't take very long, did it? But how come they haven't produced a medication yet that can cure vascular
blockage? It's perhaps because, I humbly submit, there's much more to it.
As in other actual cures that occur so naturally we don't even realize it by and large, the organic chemistry is so vastly complex that human beings may not be intellectually
equipped to comprehend it. You may accuse me of acting as though superior to humanity. There are facts about us humans that would astound and some would thing
mystify. Actually reason is a lower form of human intelligence. There are higher functions of the human brain that are deeper and a lot more fun to work with that a lot of the
truly great scientists used to get meaningful breakthroughs.
I lived in France on and off for over six or seven years. Observing the characteristic "citroyen", the dosage of this wonder drug, red wine, seemed to be that it was taken in moderation. The average cafe poured the wine into standardized wine glasses that were shaped like a hollow glass ball with the top shaved off and standing form a disk base raised on a glass stem. They don't really make them that way in the states. The average wine glass on the stem here is far too big.
It was called in the popular French "un ballon" or a ball. In the mid day, a "demi ballon" or half ball, pronounced "me balle", the d being silent and the on of ballon dropped, was imbibed. This may have been important. It was not enough
alcohol for an adult to be impaired, so most returned to the rest of the day's vigorous activity. This is perhaps where the cure comes in.
Alcohol is absorbed directly through the stomach and with a good lunch in there as well, it acts like a stomach-absorbed time release mechanism.
During an active afternoon, the pulse rate goes up and the wine's alcohol, a non-toxic combination of natural combination of ethyl and methyl alcohol that cannot be safe almost any other way but in wine, and perhaps with the phenyls and who knows how many other
molecules tagging along for the ride. Getting out there and dancin' the pulmonary
scrub on a Pullman coach.
This may mean the red wine treatment may involve a physician-monitored combination of a dosage of ordinary red wine followed by a lengthy physical workout several times a week. To your health.
Of course it's important to point out the dangers of this. It must be done in moderation or else it has the opposite effect, since abuse of the wine and hence the
alcohol boost caloric intake and the result is far greater damage especially to vital organs like the liver if the individual allows an alcoholic
dependence to develop and he or she starts using the substance for mere intoxication. Still and all, there is an antidote to that as well.
When you reach for the drink use a fruit juice instead. Apple juice is an excellent substitute and the incorporation of glucose in the diet is just what the brain needs for it's food. Also highly
recommended is grape juice itself which may have many of the same properties if not all of them that wine has to fight
cholesterol. Once again the dark grape juice.
There's also a problem with going overboard (not literally) with the fruit juice as well. And that is that it can result in a high or acidic p.h. in the blood which can lead to high p.h. induced diseased like gout. The antidote to that
again is reasonable moderation. Hey. That would make you a real mod. Also include lots of the bitter stuff in the meals such as
collard greens and dandelion greens, spinach (don't overdo spinach), and other sorts of dark green leafy stuff in your diet. If you have a group of you that's into this be careful, you could become a
diatribe.
But, you see, it was the good healthy French diet with a good supply of red wine that produced the
baffling mystery to science which now is all but forgotten -- people don't remember for long -- about how could they eat all that high
cholesterol food and still be in excellent health. The antidote is red wine.
