Just tell me what to take for Heart Health
The cardiovascular system is a network of arteries, veins
and capillaries that carry blood back and forth from the heart
to the tissues of the body.
Blood carries oxygen, hydrogen and glucose (simple sugars) to cells where they are
used as the basic fuel of the body. It carries other
nutrients, including amino acids and vitamins, enzymes,
hormones, and immune system factors and agents.
For the
cardiovascular system to function, the heart muscle must be
strong and the blood vessels must be clear, unobstructed, and
sufficiently dilated and pliable to adequately transport the blood.
It is especially critical that the vessels carrying blood to
heart tissues are healthy, otherwise the critical organ cannot
serve the rest of the body. Restrictions of these
vessels can occur gradually over the yeas or in a sudden
cataclysmic occurrence.
HEART HEALTH
RECOMMENDATIONS:
How many people die a year from heart
disease?
There are reports of between 250,000 to
400000. It is wise to do something to prevent it,
but also in case........
"Alternative medicine" that is used for a heart attack:
1. Mix 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 crushed clove garlic, and 1-2 Tablespoons of honey in 1-1.5 cups of boiling water and drink. Repeat once daily after a heart attack.
2. The best cure after a heart attack is to get oxygen to body cells so they can repair the damage. Mix 1 teaspoon dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with 1 full glass of water and drink. Repeat every couple of hours.
3. Take magnesium daily to rebuild the heart. When magnesium is depleted, it makes muscles twitch – and can do the same to the heart.
4. Take aged garlic extract capsules daily.
5. Hawthorn, used regularly, strengthens the heart muscle. Studies show that hawthorn speeds recovery after heart attack. It strengthens the heart and forestalls any onset of coronary disease. No other herb provides the nourishing regeneration of hawthorn after heart attack.
Heart
Attacks and drinking Warm Water
This
is a very good article. Not only
about the warm water after your
meal, but about heart
attacks
. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot
tea with their meals, not cold water;
maybe it is time we adopt their drinking
habit
while eating.

For
those who like to drink cold water,
this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold
drink after a meal. However, the
cold water will solidify the oily
stuff that you have just consumed.
It will slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacts
with the acid, it will break down
and be absorbed by the intestine
faster than the solid food. It will
line the intestine
.
Very soon, this w ill turn into fats
and lead to cancer
.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm
water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks -
You should know that not every heart
attack symptom is going to be the
left arm hurting. Be aware of
intense pain
in
the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest
pain
during
the course of a heart attack. Nausea
and intense sweating are also common
symptoms. 60% of people who have a
heart attack while they are asleep
do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can
WAKE you from a sound sleep. Let's
be careful and be aware. The more we
know, the better chance we could
survive.

CardioPhase®

Heart Support Formula
CardioPhase® contains a unique
blend of herbs traditionally used throughout China to support
normal heart rhythm and maintain cardiovascular health. In
addition to supporting healthy cardiovascular performance and
circulation, CardioPhase contains herbs that have been shown to
maintain proper electrical transmissions in support of normal
cardiac rhythms. More than 70 million live with some form of heart issues, and
an increasing number of people are seeking natural methods for
supporting and maintaining heart health. CardioPhase is a unique
herbal formula used throughout China to maintain heart health
and support recovery from various heart challenges.
CardioPhase may also aid in maintaining healthy blood pressure
already within normal ranges, and to promote healthy circulation
in the very smallest blood vessels. . CardioPhase relies on time-tested, safe herbal
ingredients, including the following.
• Astragulus (Huang
Qi, Radix Astragali)
Considered to be an adaptogenic (proposed to increase the
body's resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue) herb, astragulus has long been
trusted as an immune-regulating ingredient. In one study, the
herb Astragalus membranaceus was shown to decrease free
radical release in heart muscle cells, in vitro. (1-3)
• Rehmannia (Shi Di
Huang, Radix Rehmanniae Glurinosae)
Rehmannia glutinosa, a widely used Chinese herb in
traditional Chinese medicine, belongs to the family of Scrophulariaceae.
In recent decades, a great number of chemical and
pharmacological studies have been done on Rehmannia
glutinosa. More than 70 compounds including iridoids,
saccharides, amino acid, inorganic ions, as well as other
trace elements have been found in the herb. Studies show that Rehmannia
glutinosa and its active principles possess wide
pharmacological actions on the blood system, immune system,
endocrine system, cardiovascular system and the nervous
system. (4)
Study results suggest that orally administered Rehmannia
glutinosa extract may support peripheral microcirculation
(circulation in the very small blood vessels) via regulation of
hemorheology (flow properties of the blood. (5)
• Ophiopogon (Mai
Den Dong, Tuber Ophiopogonis Japonici)
The tuber of Ophiopogonis Japonici, or the dwarf
lilyturf root tuber, has been used for many years in
traditional Chinese medicine as natural support for healthy
blood sugar levels already within the normal range. But recent
studies show that components in the dwarf lilyturf root tuber
may have potent cardio-supportive effects. (6,7)
• Schisandra (Wu
Wei Zi, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis)
Schisandra berry or Wu-Wei-Zi, meaning the
the fruit of five tastes in Chinese, is a commonly used herb
in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). One study published in
the American Journal of Chinese Medicine found that Schisandra
berry may fortify mitochondrial antioxidant status,
thereby offering the body a generalized protection. Schisandra
fruit, along with Panax ginseng and
Ophiopogon japonicus were shown to modulate hepatic
(liver) lipids and lipid peroxidation in rats. (8) In another study,
the anti-inflammatory properties of the active ingredient in
schisandra, schisandrin, were shown to result from the
inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production, prostaglandin E2
(PGE2) release, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric
oxide synthase (iNOS) expression. (9)
• Cinnamon (Gui Zhi,
Ramulus Cinnamomi Cassiae)
Cinnamon enjoys a long history of use in traditional Chinese
medicine. A study published in the Journal of the American
College of Nutrition found that incorporating cinnamon
compounds in the diet could help maintain blood sugar levels
and support cardiovascular health.(10) Cinnamon may also play
an important role in maintaining healthy blood pressure
already within the normal range. (11)
Clinical Experience with CardioPhase
"As a holistic family physician specializing in integrative
CAM (Complementary Alternative Medicine), I am always pleased
to discover an effective formula that integrates the
principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the best
of modern nutritional science and quality control
manufacturing. CardioPhase is just such a formula.
After reviewing the research on CardioPhase I carefully
began to introduce use of the formula in my clinical practice,
where I've found the formula to be remarkably effective for
the support of cardiovascular health.
The preponderance of available scientific and clinical
evidence suggests that daily use of CardioPhase can be an
excellent approach to those hoping to support a healthy heart
and circulatory system"
