Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 What Really Causes Heart Attacks? http://coldcure.com/html/dep.html#reactive Everyone knows that high cholesterol and high blood pressure cause heart attacks. We have been taught that we must use diet and expensive statin drugs to lower our bad cholesterol if we don't want a heart attack. We have been taught that we must get our blood pressure down by diet (reduce our salt and fat intake and exercise) and take a variety of expensive drugs including diuretics (lowers blood volume), beta- blockers (inhibits adrenaline), alpha-blockers (makes heart beat with less force and relaxes blood vessels), ACE - angiotensin- converting enzymes (spares magnesium and potassium, but looses sodium, and relaxes arteries), vasodilators (relaxes arteries), central adrenergic inhibitors (blocks certain signals from brain), calcium-channel-blockers (relaxes arteries). However, magnesium deficiency is the real disease, and heart problems are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. This seems wrong, but it is a fact well hidden by the pharmaceutical drug pushers. It is vital to your heart health that you verify this claim by reading The Magnesium FActor . Briefly stated, all of the above medicines are poor substitutes for magnesium, because magnesium naturally does each of these " drug " functions far better than the drugs themselves. These drugs are poor in performance compared with magnesium, and make us poor in terms of both our recovery and our pocket books. The only reason to use drugs instead of magnesium is to make the pharmaceutical drug-pushers rich. How much magnesium? That is the catch. We must take enough magnesium each and every day to combat the effects of stress in its action in depleting magnesium, and this amount is higher than has been historically true. Our " modern " way of life is very stressful, and we all leak magnesium becasue of stress, some more than others. I can't personally see how we can get our blood pressure down to 100/60 (like it was when we were teenagers) with less than about 500 mg of supplemental magnesium per day. Wouldn't that be expensive? NO! Certainly not compared to the cost of these drugs, and certainly not when compared to the life- extending properties of magnesium compared with these drugs. Expensive to Social Security? Maybe, because you will live 30 to 40 years longer. Expensive to Medicare? NO. Your health care expenses will plumet downward, and you may forget the name of your doctor! _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjoguest DietaryTipsForHBP www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Genes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
