Berberine treats atherosclerosis via a vitamine-like effect down-regulating Choline-TMA-TMAO production pathway in gut microbiota

This 2022 study investigated the effects of berberine (BBR) on atherosclerosis through modulation of the gut microbiota. BBR was found to reduce the production of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite associated with atherosclerosis, by down-regulating the choline-TMA-TMAO pathway. The mechanism involves BBR’s metabolite, dihydroberberine (dhBBR), which inhibits key enzymes in

EDTA chelation therapy in the treatment of vascular disease

This review article explores the use of EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) chelation therapy in treating vascular diseases, highlighting its effectiveness in reducing symptoms and improving circulation, particularly when combined with conventional treatments. EDTA works by binding to metals like calcium, promoting their excretion and potentially reducing arterial plaque buildup. The
