II. Tissue Cholesterol…the real “good” cholesterol
Although cholesterol is abundant throughout our body, most of it is bound and therefore inactive. The real “good” cholesterol is free cholesterol, the cholesterol molecule that is not attached or bound to anything and therefore available as Tissue Cholesterol™. Free unbound cholesterol generates tremendous activity due to its quantum or energetic properties.
Tissue cholesterol™ is absolutely essential to creating and maintaining health. Knowing the four tissues where the vast majority of cholesterol activity occurs explains why:
1) Cell membranes, where cholesterol activity is crucial to the function of our fifty trillion cells;
2) Adrenals, ovaries and testes, where hormones are made from free unbound cholesterol;
3) The brain (which contains about 25% of the body’s free cholesterol) where its essential function is maintaining memory, cognitive function and preventing Alzheimer’s;
4) Sites of pathology - be it a splinter, flu, heart attack or cancer – where the right amount of quantum cholesterol can reverse pathology and restore health.
Dr. Emanuel Revici M.D. was the first scientist, and perhaps the only to date, to recognize that the quantum forces or energy of unbound cholesterol in tissues are as important as the molecule itself. Further, he discovered it is the quantum forces of lipids in general that orchestrate the entire metabolism as well as both cause and resolve pathology.
Tissue Cholesterol™ cannot be measured in blood. Only a small fraction of the body’s total cholesterol is found in the blood, and it is virtually all bound. So blood or serum cholesterol tells little by itself. Cholesterol blood results, however, in conjunction with other tests, can be used to calculate vital activity of cholesterol in brain, glands, membranes and wherever there is pathology.
