A member asked:

Are there any ways to reverse plaque build-up in the small arterioles through diet/exercise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If it is early disease, maybe but will need extensive nutritional supplementation & dietary changes. For advanced disease will need chelation, oxidative therapies which are quite effective.
