Much of my recent layman's reading of medical articles indicates that "hardening of the arteries" is in many cases due to bacterial infections. If one can clear the bacteria out of the blood and its pathways, this process should stop. However, given that you are a longtime user of CS, it may indicate that CS is not useful for this purpose. This would be something interesting to explore, as some of the bacteria have been recently identified. Oddly enough, the pneumoccocus can appear all over the place, not only in the lungs. . .
