This 3D animation explains how plaque is formed in the arterial wall. With the flow of red and white blood cells along with platelet's and LDL attached to fatty acids through the arteries, moncytes turn into foam cells and seep into the arterial wall. The wall becomes weak and the plaque enters the blood stream along with a blood clot. Item #ANS00280

  • This video does not address the fact that initial damage to the endothelial cells of the vessel wall is the mechanism that .permits collagen, platelets,Calcium ions and then phospholipids to mingle. As a result plaque is formed. Find the cause of the endothelial cell damage and the problem is solved. Treat only the plaque and the problem is ongoing. The pharmaceutical company becomes rich, the patient stays sick and becomes poor.

  • @DrHermieBaby well seems a doctors job is to treat it not cure it cause there no money in cures only treatments that don't solve the problem :(

  • @timetable1234 thank u for your reply. Can u be specific as to the "current literature", so that everybody can benefit from the information? Natto has lots of researches.

  • @Akaliko read up on the current literature. your statement is not true.

  • Is there supposed to be an explanation with this? It was completely silent on my computer.

  • natto is the only natural food that can dissolve the "fats" in the arteries.

  • *gasp* D:
