FAT AND ITS UTILIZATION INCHOLESTEROL CONTROL
Many individuals are concernedand alarmed about the subject ofcholesterol. These individuals may include the doctor as well as his patient.There is a wealth of information inthe popular press regarding this situation and most of it is misinformation.
Cholesterol is an important tissuesubstance and is NOT a substance tobe avoided! Cholesterol is a hormoneprecursor, and rises and falls in theblood stream in proportion to hormone levels more than with di~tary
factors altho the dietary factor is given all the attention. A 1938 report inthe Journal of Biological Chemistryshowed that test animals fed cholesterol, produce less in their livers andthis has been confirmed many timessince. It is therefore obvious that persons who have a high blood cholesterol, acquire it through reasonsOTHER THAN too much throughfood intake. The real reason is thelack of NATURAL CHOLESTEROLmobilizers NATURALLY present inNATURAL FAT.
Cholesterol mobilizers are as natural to fats as the key you buy atthe hardware store for the lock onyour house. It is only the UNnaturalfats that do not contain the keys soto speak and by reducing the amountof traditional fats you are in effect'locking yourself out of your ownhouse'. It has been shown that linoleicacids present in unsaturated fats willreduce cholesterol but, the ARACHIDONIC acid in beef fat does it almost TWICE as well, so you can seethe futility of reducing the fats in thediet.
The most common complaint withan excess of cholesterol is gall bladder congestion and some commonsense temporary reduction of the fatsis sometimes necessary but the realremedy is vitamin "F" present in freshoils along with avoidance of mostbaked goods plus regular manipulative correction of the lymphatic system via the neuro-lymphatic reflexes.Proteins and carbohydrates are absorbed directly into the blood streambut fats are not directly absorbed,
since in high concentration fats destroy red blood cells, thus the lymphatics absorb fats from the intestineand meters it into the blood streamin small increments or dribbles thatcan safely be handled. When thelymphatic channels become partiallyblocked, in a small percentage butover a wide area the rest of the lymphatic system can become overloadedand the lack of transport both to andfrom the cells contribute to a highblood fat and also a puzzling anemia.The lymphatics not only function asa sewer system but, like a suds-saveron an automatic washer, absorb theprotein fat. minerals and vitamins thatare not used by the cells and carriesit back to the blood stream. So thereis both waste and nutrition inherentin the lymphatic system.
Recently in measuring "tagged"blood protein, "tagged" with radioactive iodine, it was found that half ofthe blood protein is lost from theblood stream. In 24 hours the prompt"suds-saving" retrieval of this proteinby the lymphatic system prevents thisconstant loss from becoming an overall loss. When the lymphatics arepartially blocked this marvelous system does not function and fats buildup first in the lymph stream, slowingit down by thickening it and thensecondarily by dumping the higherconcentration of fat into the bloodstream, therefore if the fat is notnatural or if there is not sufficient fatmobilizers in the diet, there is an inevitable rise in the fat level.
A simple method of measuring theblood fat is to do a microhemato-critwith an "ADAMS READOCRIT" ora similar instrument and observe theopacity of the serum after the automatic function of the centrifuge. Aclear serum indicates a normal cholesterol, a highly opaque serum indicates a high cholesterol. TheSCHUCO-LAMARR test set lets youdo a cholesterol in less than 5 minutes in your office in 4 easy quicksteps that can be done while the patient is dressing. Only 0.1 cc of serumis needed and 2 simple reagents and

a simple color comparison. It can beobtained from your usual source oryour college or direct from SCHUCOSCIENTIFIC, 250 West 18th St.,New York, N.Y.
Another method of estimating thecholesterol level is to do a thyroidfunction test using the achilles tendonreflex as an indicator. A previous article described these instruments andtheir function. The thyroid lowerscholesterol but if the vitamin "F" (fatmobilizer, "key for the lock") is absent, the thyroid function produces atoxic secretion which fails to level offthe fat in the blood and it thereforeaccumulates. But here again the problem is simplified by remembering thatall natural fats contain vitamin "F".So if the thyroid checks out sluggish,for example: 430 milliseconds as measured with an achillometer by Medcoor the Photo-electric Photomotogram,the cholesterol is usually elevatedabove 250. The reverse is also truewhen the millisecond time is fast asfor example 200 milliseconds. Herethe cholesterol level is usually too low.
The fats and oils commonly used inour urban diet are usually heated, andthe synthetic fats which have floodedthe market in oleo margarine and icecream are generally made from rancidoils which are carefully purified. Sitosterols and other factors refined fromsoy bean oils and linseed oils are beingpromoted as cholesterol reducing factors but this is a short sighted procedure, for the overloaded tissues stayoverloaded and the "compensatory increase in cholesterol synthesis will always prevent more than a transitoryreduction". The fallacy of restrictingthe intake of time tested and traditional natural foods like butter andeggs and meat fat when the cause is

Certain persons considered experts may disagree with one or more conclusions andopinions expressed by the author, but the same are considerednevertheless, to be of current interest to chiropractic physicans.Reporting of such article shall not be construed as a recommendation concerning use of any specific product or products.nutritional or other procedures employed being a matter for theDoctor's professional knowledge and judgment, depending uponhis evaluation of the individual involved.
the intake of synthetic fats, could notbe more obvious, For this reason,avoid stale cereals; packaged breakfastfoods, and most baked goods, Instead,use fresh natural oils such as soy,olive, sesame, and peanut. This issimple advice to a complex problembut a little knowledge is a dangerousthing and just as in hyperinsulinismwith it's low blood sugar, the key isnot to take sugar, So also in the highblood cholesterol the key is not tofollow the obvious but erroneous policy of reducing the fats but to increasethe intake of the natural fats withtheir fat mobilizers. Dr. Y·udkin at theUniversity of London says in anAmerican Review of October 1964:"Statistics relating fat to ischemicheart disease in different populationsmay express only an indirect relationship-the causal connection beingwith sugar."
He also says that there is no relationship between dietary fat and ischemic heart disease. These quotesare from the "Lancet" 1964.
Dr. Yudkin and his associates foundinvariably that all the high cholesterolpatients he examined had a high intake of carbohydrate and not necessarily fats. Since the old doctrine offats burning in the flame of carbohydrates has been thoroughly disproved, it is obvious that fat deposits i,lthe presence of excess carbohydratf:deposit both in blood and tissue, Her;;also is proof of the need not to restrict the natural fats. In a test feee'ing of oleo and butter on two grou!':.of adolescents in an orphan asylum.results showed the girls became tallerthan boys when the girls ate oleo butthis did not occur when the girls atebutter. This shows the effect of deprivation of the sex hormone precursors,which is a castration effect of growthstimulation, just as a farmer or rancher or chicken producer castrates hismeat animals. Refined fats createmany problems the LEAST of whichis the cholesterol level and the pseudoscience we are constantly met withonly proves one fact, that God doesnot make mistakes-man makes themwhen he departs too far from thenatural order. Nature can not makesomething out of nothing.
The fact that fat meat and butte;fat are low in linoleic acid has prom!"!ted many to talk down these materials.But as has been mentioned as far backas 1948 in the Annual Review of BK>chemistry, the arachidonic acid is farmore active than the standard thatthey presently measure all fats against,namely linoleic acid, and since am-

chidonic acid has more double bonds,animal fats and butter help, not hindercholesterol problems. These patientssometimes say they feel worse after ameal and experience numbness andtingling in a bizarre distribution. Theyalso are repetitious and complain ofdepression and forgetfulness. Thesepatients have headaches which occurin the morning, but unlike hyperinsulinism's morning headache, these patients get worse following breakfast,with pain in the back of the head.They also frequently complain of dizziness and ringing of the ears, but thehearing tests are usually normal. Theyoften bruise easily without any historyof trauma and either yawn often, orhave a lowered breath holding timewhich is below 20 seconds. Both ofthese last symptoms relate to oxygenmetabolism which is disturbed in cholesterol metabolism faults.
Cholesterol contributes structurallyto the cell wall and semipermeablemembrane construction, and the reason why h~/pertension is associatedwith a high cholesterol is that toomuch pressure is needed to force thenatural diffusion of fluids thru thecapillary beds, since this is how thecells are able to get their nutrition.
The use of natural "E" and Natural

"F" complexes as found in naturalfats or in concentrated form fro msuppliers to our profession, help greatly in rehabilitating these patients butan intelligent diet is paramount tocorrect and to prevent reoccurrence.
The existence of the neuro-Iymphatic reflexes have been proven byOwen, Chapman, Dejarnette andmany others. They are located on theanterior of the body between the intercostal cartilages generally close tothe sternum. On the posterior theyexist between the transverse processand the spinous process. They are organ specific and respond to an incredibly light pressure. Mobilization ofthese reflexes measurably aid theblocked fat pattern not only in theblood but also in the tissues andcoupled with the newly discoveredneuro-lymphatic reflex associated withmuscle testing and balance, gives anutritional and manipulative interlocking treatment which allows thechiropractic physician to give serviceabove self in the best tradition of helpto your patient. It is one more wayof helping people and chiropractic.
