Many studies upon the regression of arteriosclerosis are under way, based upon different species of animals with an artificially inducted arteriosclerosis by a diet rich of fats and cholesterol.
The fat striae in macaques after the fat diet disappears completely after a month of a diet poor in fats and cholesterol. Some authors have demonstrated the vanishing of heavy fibrous plaques, after the slim diet in macaques previously fed with fats for at least 12 months.
The regression was more evident in the abdominal aorta and in coronaries, while it was lighter in the carotids.
After a period of slim diet, and when the amount of cholesterol reached the normal level again, the amount of fats decreased and the collagen and the elastic tissue reduced.
In many cases there was a complete recovery of all the lesions.
Large case histories on this issue were compiled in the German concentration camps, during the Second World War. In millions of autopsies, lesions by arteriosclerosis were not found at all.
There are many studies upon the regression of serious lesions in human arteriosclerosis, nowadays is confirmed that those lesions can really recover.
It was found that the regression is possible in animals, with cholesterols amount below 150 mgr. The problem of the spread of arteriosclerosis in early age is widely underestimated.
In a study of the New Orleans University, upon hundreds of cases (691, from birth to 39 y.o.) monitored by professor Stary, the results indicated that in the fourth decade of the life of men and women, serious lesions were found (65% in men and 57% in women).
In the U.S.A. there were made diets that demonstrates how the lesions can be eliminated with an almost entirely vegetarian diet, and few animal food.
