I ask because a patient came into my office from an interoffice referral and said that she was interested in getting treatment for obesity\overeating but had been refused treatment a few years ago by an acupuncturist who said that because she had cardiomyopathy she was not a candidate for treatment....Any thoughts??? She also realizes that the eating is psychologically based etc......Thanks for your time. Kelly: Others in the group can give you far more insight into herbs than I, so I will comment on the cardiomyopathy. These patients are at significantly higher risk for sudden cardiac death. The extent of the risk really depends on the eitology of her disease and the amount of viable heart muscle. The GERD sx potentially complicate things because they are extremely difficult to differentiate from angina in some people. Despite the higher risk, these patients can respond very well to lifestyle intervention (i.e. diet & exercise). If I were in this situation, I would refer them to a good cardiac rehab program where they could participate in supervised exercise and get dietary, lifestyle and self care instruction. Furthermore, I would conservatively treat whatever pattern I saw and refrain from using anything that might stimulate the heart or screw up her electrolytes (either would increase her vulerability). Having made these suggestions, I should add that I spent 10 years working in cardiac rehab so I have a level of comfort with this type of patient that others might not have. You need to be comfortable with your choice and aware of the potential risks to the patient. Good Luck! Michael Buyze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi, I would definitely go nutritional to heal the heart. I would start with a diet to combat funguses, including oregano oil and olive leaf extract( can get at any healthfood store), Garlic ( fresh) peeled and eaten raw, chase with water, 1 clove morning and night.... That is also antifungal, but also has sulphur and lowers blood pressure, easing the workload on the heart. ALSO.... DOC says Cayenne Pepper... great heart remedy and better then aspirin for heart ailments. Start small like 1/4 tsp in some water twice a day, and work up to 1 tsp. a day... No sugars, no diet anything, and only water( filtered, without chlorine or flouride) to drink. There is a website called knowthecause.com and they have research on fungal links to chronic conditions... AND PLEASE CALL DOC.... the website is on the herbal remedies group home page. He will know something to jumpstart the heart healing. GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS ===== Love and Laughter, Theresa M. Hook hooked_on_travel Meet the all-new My - Try it today!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi there... Definitely get Doc's free lecture at www.academyofnaturalhealing.com After listening to it you can have a consultation with Doc . Improper diet is a major culprit with heart problems so the data on this tape is vital to healing. Two herbs for the heart are Cayenne and Hawthorne Berry. A good heart formula is needed here . You can talk to Doc about these. Hope this helps....Mary O - " m_cortland " <m_cortland <herbal remedies > Monday, November 15, 2004 10:01 PM Herbal Remedies - cardiomyopathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
