1. not sure about that. i think so but be careful not to cause something to your stomach cause spices like cinnamon are quite strong and stuff like that "eats" the interior of your stomach.
2. No, dietary changes and Stains prevent further plaque build up, however they will not have much effect of existing atheroma in the arteries.
3. I've always been told that oatmeal does lower cholesterol and in the UK they back that one. Also, cinnamon helps with problems for diabetes
4. Can you reverse damage done to your arteries by excessive fat? If you are already past 30, it naturally occurs to you to wonder whether the damage done to your arteries is permanent, or whether it is reversible. At the present stage of research, doctors cannot answer the question with certainty. Experiments with animals have shown that the condition is reversible in animals. We have evidence that the cholesterol in the arteries is absorbed in children, as shown by Dr. Russell Holman and others. However, this metabolic gift seems to be lost as we grow up. There are many authorities in the field who do believe that since atherosclerosis is reversible in animals, it can also be eliminated even after it is established in humans as well. Some families are affected by what physicians call hereditary familial hyper-(excessive) cholesteremia. In such a family the tendency to high levels of cholesterol in the blood is passed on for several generations. Among members of such families we usually find a large number of individuals who suffer heart attack and strokes. If no heart attacks or strokes have occurred in your own family line, you have at least one protective factor in your favor from the beginning. The second factor is one that is pretty much up to you. It concerns what you eat and how much you eat.
