THE INFLUENCE OF EDTA SALTS PLUS MULTIVITAMIN-TRACE MINERAL THERAPY UPON TOTAL SERUM CHOLESTEROL/HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL

E. W. McDonagh, C. J. Rudolph and E. Cheraskin

For a number of years, the principal attention was accorded total serum cholesterol as a possible predictor of cardiovascular pathosis.  More recently, emphasis has been shifted to the high-density lipoproteins (HDL).  Now consideration is turning to the  ratio of total serum cholesterol to high-density lipoproteins.  In fact, it is now stated that a ratio of 4.5 is the ideal combination in terms of cardiovascular health.  This report adds credence to this "ideal" ratio for chronic degenerative disorders.
