This may be a hot topic, I'm not sure.
I'm curious if anyone has any sources of information on reversing heart disease with a paleo diet containing meat.
It seems there are a lot of stories coming out about veganism harming people, I have no doubt they are true. But the one thing that a plant-based diet does help with is heart disease reversal. People with heart disease have benefited from plant-based diets.
I don't believe a vegan diet is natural, though.
So I'm wondering, if someone has heart disease or symptoms of it, how would it be remedied on a meat-containing diet? Are there stories of reversing it with the paleo diet? When I say heart disease I don't mean the "little symptoms" like high blood pressure (which I think is easily remedied with a paleo diet); I mean arterioscloersis - hardening of the arteries/clogged arteries. How does one reverse this without a plant-based diet?
I was reading an old blog post today on perfecthealthdiet.com and it said that its possible that all chronic diseases are potentially caused by infections. So if heart disease is caused by a pathogen, then maybe the "paleo" answer would be to increase foods containing vitamins A and D because they help the immune system.
Thoughts?

In my experience, both a high animal fat (cooked) diet and a vegan (cooked) diet promote some form of heart disease, while a raw paleo diet slowly heals the condition.
