Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 I was wondering if anyone could share any information on how to overcome heart disease. My mom has extremely high cholesterol and so far has had two angioplasty's. She doesn't take any vitamins and is desperately trying to change her eating habits. I would like to have her around a bit longer. She's only 62. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Look into what this guy has to say: www.deaddoctors.com I'd never buy any of his overpriced products, but you can find out what to buy elsewhere. Also, flax seed oil and hawthorn berry are crucial to heart health IMO. If I miss a couple days of either one, my angina comes back.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Dear Sheila, A copper deficiency can cause high cholesterol. Perhaps she could try several milligrams of copper extra each day. If she has in addition hemorrhoids, varicose veins, herniated discs, or anemia it would be a strong indication that she is, indeed, suffering from a copper deficiency.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 ---Sheila, Your mom is still relatively young and should be able to reverse her symptoms taking the correct herbs and supplements. My heart problems surfaced during my fifties. I somehow think they were directly related to my menopausal symptoms, as somehow a lack of progesterone and an abundance of estrogen circulating in the blood can contribute to these heart problems. Rest assured that whether it is caused by menopause or just aging, it can be reversed with the proper diet, herbs and supplements! . It is my opinion that the most important vitamins for this are extra Magnesium, Vitamin E and selenium, Coenzyme Q10, Hawthorne and Gingko. Of course there are others, however Magnesium helps to relax the main arteries that enter the heart,promoting a more healthy blood flow to the heart. Does she have HBP also? If so, is she taking an abundance of calcium? Although physicians frequently recommend extra calcium as part of the cure, I find that an excess of calcium will only contribute to existing stores of arteriosclerotic plaque. I would change her calcium-magnesium supplements from 2:1 to 1:1, until her problems are alleviated. I also advise 400 mgs of magnesium oxide,morning and night. This has helped me tremendously! Potassium is also helpful for HBP. Cut out all canned processed foods containing excessive sodium, replacing them with fresh, raw foods with an abundance of potassium. The foods I've found the most useful are blackstrap molasses, bananas, celery & unsweetened grape juice. Drinking eight glasses of purified bottled water each day is beneficial for fluid arteries. Another suggestion would be to avoid any highly refined oils, any snacks or baked goods containing hydrogenated oils & margarines( Benecol & Take Control, also)which contain LDL-(bad) cholesterol, replacing them with Extra-virgin Olive oils. Extra-virgin olive oils tend to elevate the good cholesterol levels, thereby helping to eliminate the harmful artery clogging fats(LDLs). I've found that eating an abundance of good Organic foods helps immensely as the free radicals in residues promote artery buildup. It is especially important to get all her Dairy, meat and poultry " dioxin-free " and from an organic source! These dioxins and residues are part of the problem and we need to eliminate them from our diets! Here are a few sites that outline the details: http:www.horizonorganic.com http://www.laurasleanbeef.com http://www.food-for-life.com Foods that Raise Good HDL Cholesterol: Onions, raw Garlic (fresh is best) Salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna and other fatty fish (avoid farmed varieties) Oysters, Mussels Grape Seed extracts/Oil Almonds Avocadoes Red Grapes/wines Extra Virgin Olive Oils Vitamin C rich foods (bell peppers, broccoli, oranges) Beta-carotene-rich foods (carrots, spinach, broccoli) Wine, beer, alcohol in moderation Caution: Very-low-fat Diets containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils and fats depress HDLs. I have found these remedies to be very effective and have been able to reverse my heart and artery problems with all natural remedies and using the above guidelines.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hi Joanne, I am so glad that you could reverse your heart disease. I agree very much with your post, but I notice that you did not mention vitamin C in the treatment and reversal of heart disease. I am sure that you are familiar with the work done by Linus Pauling and Mattias Rath on reversing plaque by using vitamin C, but you do not mention C in your answer, so I thought that I would ask your opinion on Rath's claim that the plaque is a stabilizing cement to shore up the arteries due to a lack of C and deterioration of the arteries, etc. Also, I am sure that you know about the brothers, Drs. Shute who reversed heart disease in the 1940's with large doses (at the time) of vitamin E. Although you mention Vitamin E, I wanted to say to the group, that it must be taken in suffecient quantities usually not found in the average multivitamin. I also think that since no vitamin works well without the others, I also consider a good multi as part of the any solution as most of us do not get suffecient vitamins in our diet. kind regards, Frank Gettingwell, " JoAnn Guest " <angelprincessjo> wrote: > ---Sheila, > Your mom is still relatively young and should be able to reverse > her symptoms taking the correct herbs and supplements.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 - " John Polifronio " <counterpnt > How much hawthorn berry do you take, and in what form? I try to get at least a heaping teaspoon a day. I won't hurt you in large amounts. I get it finely ground from an herbalist by the pound. It needs to be refrigerated because, like all seeds, it's slightly oily. One time I got whole berries, but they have to be boiled and soaked too long to be convenient. They made pretty good tea, but then I chewed them to get more benefit and I didn't think they were breaking up well enough to be thoroughly digested. They're small and hard as ball bearings, LOL.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 ---Frank, Hi! Well I'm quite happy too. I actually never thought that I would be able to reverse the symptoms so well. I guess when one is really determined to find their way naturally, they just search until they find their own individual answers! The message that I wrote to sheila wasn't intended to provide a comprehensive rundown on all the benefits of various vitamins and minerals that are useful for reversing heart disease. That would take an entire book. <LOL I have taken large doses of Vitamin C all my life and in fact was doing so at the time that I first experienced my initial heart problems. For anyone who is not taking C vitamins, I would recommend that they do so without delay. The health food store was my fav'rite place when I started having my heart problems. That's why it is so ironic that I experienced them in the first place. In retrospect,I guess I expected these vitamins to offset the effects of a bad diet high in processed and fast foods and that simply didn't materialize! I firmly believe that the mineral deficiency that exists in our food supply, so prevalent from excessive use of pesticides and free radicals in our food supply,had much to do with the poor health of my arteries. I found that taking high doses of Magnesium and COQ10 which is more prevalent in heart muscle than any other organ in the body, with the herbal Hawthorne Berry, reversed my problems effectively, for an overabundance of calcium, frequently prescribed for menopausal women (and sometimes men with HBP also), without a proper intake of magnesium to utilize our existing enzymes, is of little use and will inevitably only contribute to existing artery plaque. We all need vitamin E, however I find that vitamin E found in foods (i.e.organic eggs etc.)is so much more beneficial than any that can be found in supplement form. I've recently found that many of the E vitmins now contain gmo-soy lecithin. Not good! Also, one important factor regarding E. Vitamin E should not be taken in excessive quantities when high blood pressure is an issue... according to a host of various experts. I firmly believe that artery plaque is largely due to the buildup of hydrogenated fats that collect whenever free radicals are present in the bloodstream. Free radicals damage arteries. My problems were not resolved until I was able to completely forgo the processed, refined fats so prevalent in our Western Diets. The free radicals come from both our environment and food supply. Free radicals with an abundance of n-6s, present in mayonnaise, margarines and other fast foods are a large part of the problem. It is important to get the right vitamins and minerals in the correct amounts, however I find that I'm just not able to do this with multivitamin capsules. The RDAs were initiated in the early forties when pollution was minimal. They simply do not address the chemical insults our bodies have to deal with today. I truly find the fabulous Organic foods I now eat provide a host of nutritional benefits also.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 I went to a local Whole Foods market, where a supplements clerk representing the Gaia herbal company, persuaded me to purchase a Hawthorn tincture. The price was low, so I agreed to try it. She also told me, that the company puts out a " solid " hawthorn product, like a gel, or whatever, which can be taken a spoonful at a time. She told me that the tincture, and especially this more solid prepartion of Hawthorn, were more effective than a powder would be. The market didn't have powdered Hawthorn in their herbal bulk bins, so I'll keep looking for it. - " Sheila Ealey " <sheilaealey Monday, November 18, 2002 5:12 AM Re: Help with Heart Disease > Thanks to everyone who replied concerning my questions on heart disease.

John, I think a tincture would be excellent. No doubt the best way to take hawthorn berry. I've been meaning to make my own, but never get around to it at the right phase of the moon (tinctures should be strained off on the full moon. Sounds silly, but moon phases are somewhat important in many herbal processes.). I get the ground berries for $8.50 a pound in a vacuum packed package from www.spicediscounters.com . You might want to call them for a catalog before ordering, because their shipping is a flat $5-6 and they have everything. I hate to order just a few items when the shipping is a flat rate LOL. 1-800-610-5950 I'm pretty sure she grinds her own when you order it. The only place I know of with better prices is www.iherb.com , but they don't have bulk hawthorn. Yikes! The Gaia tincture is $15.50 there! Make your own, man!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 " Bad Cholesterol " : A Myth and a Fraud! Topics About the Author Mission Statement Miracles of Water Asthma Eradication Program " Bad Cholesterol " : A Myth and A Fraud Medical Report AIDS Discovery Arthritis Pain Report Reviews Scientific Information on Dehydration Testimonials We in the medical profession, totally oblivious of the vital roles of cholesterol in the body, have been duped into thinking that it is this substance that causes arterial disease of the heart and the brain. The pharmaceutical industry has capitalized on the slogan of " bad cholesterol " and has produced toxic-to-the-body chemicals that minimally lower the level of cholesterol in the body and in the process cause liver damage to thousands of people, some who die as a result of using the medication. It is surprising that none of the frequently quoted and media-popularized doctors has reflected on the fact that cholesterol levels are measured from blood taken from the veins, yet nowhere in medical literature is there a single case of cholesterol having caused obstruction of the veins. Venous blood moves far slower than arterial blood and thus would be more inclined to have cholesterol deposits if the assumption of " bad cholesterol " were accurate. This mistake by us in the medical community, and its capitalization by the pharmaceutical industry, has caused an ongoing fraud against society. In truth, the so-called " bad " cholesterol is actually far more beneficial than is appreciated. The reason for its rise in the body is because of complications caused by chronic unintentional dehydration and insufficient urine production. Dehydration produces concentrated, acidic blood that becomes even more dehydrated during its passage through the lungs before reaching the heart – because of evaporation of water in the lungs during breathing. The membranes of the blood vessels of the heart and main arteries going up to the brain become vulnerable to the shearing pressure produced by the thicker, acidic blood. This shearing force of toxic blood causes abrasions and minute tears in the lining of the arteries that can peel off and cause embolisms of the brain, kidneys and other organs. To prevent the damaged blood vessel walls from peeling, low-density (so-called " bad " ) cholesterol coats and covers up the abrasions and protects the underlying tissue like a waterproof bandage until the tissue heals. Thus, the vital, life-saving role of low-density cholesterol proves this substance is of utmost importance in saving the lives of those who do not adequately hydrate their bodies so that their blood can flow easily through the blood vessels without causing damage. Cholesterol is an element from which many of our hormones are made. Vitamin D is made by the body from cholesterol in our skin that is exposed to sunlight. Cholesterol is used in the insulating membranes that cover our nerve systems. There is no such a thing as bad cholesterol. If all the primary ingredients are available for its normal functions, the human body does not engage in making things that are bad for its survival. Until now we did not know water was a vital nutrient that the body needed at all times – and in sufficient quantity. Water itself – not caffeinated beverages that further dehydrate – is a better cholesterol-lowering medication than any chemical on the market. It is absolutely safe and is not harmful to the body like the dangerous medications now used. Please share this information with those you care for. For more information about my medical breakthrough on the topic of chronic unintentional dehydration and the diseases it causes, other than what is posted on this site, refer to my books and tapes – products of over 20 years of fulltime research.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 - <waddle986 > How do you make your own? > You can buy the individual herbs and soak them in vodka for 2 weeks or longer, then strain out the herbs and you have tincture. The alcohol releases the medicinal properties of the herbs so you only need drops of tincture as compared to spoonfulls of the dried herb. Many herbs (no, I don't know which ones) aren't very effective unless they've been soaked in alcohol. A good way to strain it is thru a knee-high nylon stocking. Then you can wring it out well and get the strongest possible tincture. Store it in dark brown bottles or at least in a dark place. Once the herbs have been made into tinctures, they will last almost indefinitely without losing potency. Here's some more info: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8 & q=make+herbal+tinctures Starris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
