Cure for Heart Disease Lied about by Doctors?
January 31st, 2010 
admin “The People” have had enough apparently!
An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people – and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”
It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding Heart Disease – its control, management, and even its cure!
That’s right: “cure!”
And what should shock you even more:
It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.
Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.
But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.
Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?
It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so.
Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone’s really out to do for you these days – as doing so means you being “forced” to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)
Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured – and that’s that (over and done!)
But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old “good folks” armed with “real answers” and “real solutions” are stepping up and are NOT afraid of “Uncle Big-Bully Brother!”
One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he’s helped others overcame “naturally” the condition known as “Heart Disease!”
Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! – and now which may even be against the law!)
But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sambo” has actually started using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!
So, if you’re wise and want to find out about this while it’s still possible for you to do so, then just visit this link now:

But don’t be surprised if one day soon you return to find this site completely removed with a US Flag waving in its place (in the name of “freedom” no less!)
Natural Prescriptions For Cardiovascular Disease
January 30th, 2010 admin Heart disease continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in Western countries, and kidney disease is a fast-growing threat to public health. These two disease processes are linked by the fact that they both are often the result of high blood pressure. If you are experiencing cardiovascular disease either personally or are looking for information in behalf of another person, this page has some important tips for you. The information to follow is based upon the assumption that you either already know you have cardiovascular disease, have had a heart attack, stroke or other CV event, have elevated cholesterol or triglycerides or other known CV problem.
Typical symptoms of cardiovascular disorders include: -
* Chest pain
* Cyanosis or a bluish discoloration of the fingertips
* Swelling or puffiness in the lower legs and feet
* Dispend which is a shortness of breath and difficulty breathing
* Palpitations which is an irregular, fluttering or skipping heartbeat
* Decreased endurance and easily fatigued
* Syncope which includes fainting, dizziness or a brief loss of consciousness.
Avoiding Cardiovascular Disease through Natural Remedies: – There are many things a person can do to avoid cardiovascular disease because it is certainly manageable and preventable. You can take these heart-healthy steps to a healthier cardiovascular system: stop smoking, drink less alcohol, exercise regularly (under the supervision of your physician, a certified fitness trainer can create a program for you), be vigilant about your blood pressure, stay away from stressful situations or take stress management courses, and eat more natural foods.
Causes of cardiovascular disorders include: -
* Anaphylaxis
* Aortic stenosis
* Atrial Septal Defect
* Bamforth syndrome
* Cardiac tamponade
* Char syndrome
* Congenital heart defects
* Congestive Heart Failure
* Cor pulmonale
* Eisenmenger Syndrome
This is additional information that does not replace nor negate conventional diagnosis. Other tests may be useful depending on the individual circumstance.
* Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
* Heavy Metal and Toxicity assessment
* Vitamin and Mineral assessment
* Biochemical assessments
* Hormone tests
Garlic: – Take 300 to 500 mg of aged garlic twice daily. It reduces cholesterol and homocysteine, has a natural blood-thinning effect, and has antioxidant properties.
Fish oil: – Take a daily dosage of a fish oil product containing at least 480 mg of EPA and 360 mg of DHA daily. Fish oil reduces inflammation in the arteries, lowers cholesterol/triglycerides, and is a natural blood thinner.
Heart disease is so prevalent now; most people are surprised to hear that it was ¬ actually quite rare until the turn of the twentieth century. Our modern diet and way of life are at the root of most heart problems, and the best way to prevent or reverse heart disease is to change our habits. Because heart disease is caused by a variety of factors, it is best to include several kinds of therapies in your treatment or prevention plan. Eat well, exercise, manage stress, and identify and treat genetic susceptibilities that are known to bring on cardiovascular disease.
To Maintain good Oral Health, Prevent Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes, and Healthier Teeth
January 29th, 2010 admin Studies show that oral hygiene plays a role in overall health. Researchers have found that people who have periodontal disease have in increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and type II diabetes. The same harmful bacteria found in the mouth have been found in arterial plaques that cause heart disease. Saving your teeth can also save your life!
In conjunction with the in-office treatment you will receive, there are several things you can do at home to prevent and maintain your periodontal condition.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is an antioxidant recommended by many dentists for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. CoQ10 is found in every cell of your body, particularly in the heart and oral tissues.
Researchers found that people with periodontal disease had a deficiency of this essential nutrient. It is recommended that you take at least 30mg two times per day. This is not a magic pill, you still need to brush, floss, and see your dental hygienist at least twice per year. Every day, bacteria that naturally builds up in the oral cavity, along with food particles, form a sticky, clear film on your teeth. This film is called plaque, and it forms above the gumline and below the gumline on the root surface. Plaque forms regardless of whether you eat or not.
Plaque that is not removed by brushing and flossing. It becomes hard and is unable to be removed with a toothbrush or floss. This hard plaques is called tartar. These tartar deposits produce toxins from the bacteria which cause inflammation. Inflammation of the gums is called gingivitis, and it is reversible. The inflammation below the gumline breaks down the bone and other supporting structures. This breakdown causes a space to form between the tooth and the gum, called a pocket. The breakdown of the bone and pocket formation is called periodontitis, and it is not reversible.
It is recommended that you have a dental phophylaxis or “cleaning” at least two times a year. Unfortunately, even with regular visits gingivitis and periodontitis still occur. In fact, it is estimated that 80% of adults have some severity of bone loss.
Another at-home option is to use a waterpik, which is an oral irrigator. The waterpik uses a high-powered, pulsating stream of water to gently clean around the gumline. There is also an attachment called a pik pocket, which is designed to clean periodontal pockets. In clinical studies the waterpik was 93% more effective than floss.
Doing one or both of these easy oral healthcare practices could save your teeth and your life.
Natural Treatment For Thyroid Disease
January 29th, 2010 admin Thyroid hormones regulate the speed at which your body cells work.If too much of the thyroid hormone is produced,the body cells work faster than normal causing over activity of the thyroid.This condition is called hyperthyroidism.
However,if too little of the hormones are produced ;the body cells work more slowly causing the body cells to work more slowly.This under activity of the thyroid is called hypothyroidism.
To diagnose either condition,a physician can perform a simple blood test that will measure hormone levels.If the test shows an abnormality either direction,the doctor will probably run a thyroid profile to determine how severe the problem is.
Although the usual course of treatment for thyroid conditions is prescription medications,or in extreme cases,surgery,there are simple steps nutritionally that will help prevent either condition from occurring in the first place.
Here is a list of five very effective supplements that will work to support your thyroid.
1.Iodine:Iodine is a key element in thyroid production.But it is a double edged sword.You absolutely need it,but not too much of it.A careful balance has to be maintained.It is suggested after much study that a 100 mcg(micrograms)per day is a safe dosage to maintain healthy thyroid support.
2.Selenium:Selenium is crucial in both production of T4 thyroid hormone(thyroxine)in the thyroid gland,as well as in the conversion OF T4 to T3 thyroid hormone.
Recommended daily dosage per day is 200mcg.This is more than is contained in a common multivitamin.Supplemental selenium can be purchased rather cheaply at your local health food store.
3.Zinc:Zinc is necessary for the TRH hypothalamus hormone to stimulate the pituitary gland,which in turn signals the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone.
The recommended dosage of zinc per day is at least 10mcg.This should be taken with 1mcg of copper.A zinc-copper ration has been shown to be helpful for thyroid patients.A good zinc-copper product should contain at least 1-2 mcg of copper.
4.Vitamin D:In addition to the above recommended minerals,Vitamin D is crucial for thyroid hormone production in the pituitary gland. It now appears that the amount of Vitamin D people need has been
greatly under estimated,nor is it toxic as was originally thought.
Recommended daily dose of Vitamin D is at least 800IUs.A good, cheap way to obtain Vitamin D is to get plenty of sunshine. It can also be obtained by taking cod liver oil.
5.Vitamin E:Vitamin E allows for excellent antioxidant protection and in some cases helps menopausal women avoid hot flashes without resorting to hormone therapy.
Recommended dosage is 400-800IU daily.
Here are the five most essential nutrients for feeding the thyroid gland. It is recommended however that other crucial nutrients be added to this list for overall optimal health of the thyroid.
Other necessary supplements would be : Vitamin A:Recommended daily dose of 5000-10,000IU.
Vitamin C:Taken in a buffered form of at least 2000-4000mcg daily.
It is also highly recommended to ensure that your thyroid is functioning optimally to take high doses of essential fatty acids(EFA) in a 2:1 mix of Omega 3 and Omega 6. This can be obtained in 1000 mg capsules at your local health food store.Recommended daily dosage should be 2000-4000 mg .
Long term sufferers of thyroid disease,would do well to take extra amino acids since the thyroid is basically an amino acid tyrosine. Amino acid metabolism is crucial for thyroid function.
Remedies to Prevent Coronary Heart Disease And Stroke
January 28th, 2010 admin Coronary heart disease and heart attack and stroke can be avoided to a large extent by lifestyle measures. The direct causes of coronary heart disease and stroke are factors like these:
- Restriction of blood vessels in the heart and the rest of the body by arteriosclerosis.
- High blood cholesterol level.
- High blood pressure.
- Excess weight.
- Diabetes.
- High level of the amino acid homocysteine in the blood.
- High content of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and low-density lipoprotein (HDL) in blood. Lipoprotein is a combination of protein and fatty substances that are linked to each other.
- Inflammation in the circulatory system.
- High age.
- Inherited tendencies for high cholesterol and heart disease.
- Men are more likely to get heart disease than women.
These factors are interrelated in complex ways, and are causing or amplifying each other. For example, arteriosclerosis will cause higher blood pressure, high blood pressure and will cause even more atherosclerosis. Many of these factors are ultimately caused or aggravated by the lifestyle of these factors:
-A too-high intake of fat, cholesterol and sugar.
-The fat consumption of the wrong type.
-Lack of fiber, vitamins, minerals and other dietary deficiencies.
-The stress at work and in everyday life.
-Lack of exercise.
Lifestyle adjustments will therefore be the main methods of prevention of heart failure.
A diet with the aim of preventing heart disease is usually the same as a diet to prevent cancer and other diseases. Here are the general diet advice
- Avoid or reduce the amount of food that are industrially processed, artificially made or heavily fried.
- Eating fish at least every second day. Also eat seafood and fouls.
- Do not eat much red meat.
- Eat 5 fruits or vegetables per day. Each piece should be the size of an apple or carrot. They should be raw or carefully boiled so that nutrients are not washed out.
- Eat full corn bread, whole grain corn, peas, beans and potatoes.
- Eat only a moderate amount of fat.
- Consume cholesterol rich foods like egg, spawn or liver in only moderate amounts.
- Ideally most fat you eat, shall be of the mono-unsaturated. You also need some of the polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega 6, but not too much of omega-6. The consumption of saturated fats should be moderate.
- In order to achieve a balance of fat, most of the fat supply should come from a mixture of sources such as olive oil, canola oil, nuts, sunflower oil, sunflower oil, linseed oil (oil fiber), fish and fish oil.
- Use only a moderate amount of soy oil and corn oil in the diet. Only using such oil types will give you too much polyunsaturated fat of the omega-6-type.
- Use only a very moderate amount of fat sources like butter, coconut oil and palm oil. A high level of consumption of these fat sources gives you a lot of saturated fat.
- Avoid letting the fat has been chemically modified, thus called trans-fat. This type of fat is often found in margarines, crackers, snack foods, fast food and other food pre-made.
- Consume just a very moderate amount of sugar, refined flour or refined cereals.
- Consume just a moderate amount of tranquilizers and stimulants like alcohol and caffeine.
- Use only a moderate amount of salt in food. However, in hot weather and the hard physical work, you will need more salt.
Evidence suggests that it will be helpful to take supplements of some natural substances to prevent heart disease and help improve already have heart problems. These supplements are:
- Supplement of vitamin C was thought to help prevent heart disease, but more recent findings cast doubt on that.
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid / foliate, vitamin B12 and riboflavin appeared to prevent the accumulation of the chemical homocysteine in the blood and thus help prevent heart disease, according to the results of research projects.
The style of the measures referred to in this article will also help you loose weight. If these measures fail, you should consider a greater involvement in the specific program for weight reduction. You should choose a program that has a moderate fat content philosophy. Some programs of weight loss have a higher fat and low-carb philosophy, and those are probably not the best to reduce the chance of getting heart disease.
You should do some exercises at least half an hour at least every second day. Training as a condition vigorous walking, jogging, cycling or swimming is the best to reduce the likelihood heart attack. Muscle building exercises are also of value, especially exercises building leg muscles
If you smoke, stop or radically reduce this habit will reduce the chance of getting heart problems.
If you have type 1diabetes, good control of the disease through medication and insulin diet adjustments will help prevent heart disease.
Many people over 50 years, and a growing number of young people suffering from type 2 diabetes because of bad lifestyle. This disease does not necessarily give dramatic symptoms, but the disease increases the chance of serious heart problems, and many have the disease without knowing it.
Diabetes – A High Risk Factor For Coronary Heart Disease
January 28th, 2010 admin It is alarming to know that every year diabetes mellitus kills more than 70,000 United States residents and about 20 million people in U. S. alone suffer from this disease. Five in hundred people in the U. K. are affected with diabetes. In Canada about 6 per cent of their population is with diabetes mellitus which invariably accounts for about 20,000 deaths annually according to experts. In addition, diabetes is a contributory factor in heart diseases and other related health conditions.
Diabetes is caused by the body resistance to, or deficiency of the hormone insulin which helps in removal of excess sugar from the blood stream into the body cells so that it can be used as a source of energy.
If this hormone insulin is deficient or ineffective, blood sugar rises causing excessive urination, hunger and thirst. Apart from excess urine, additional symptoms may include weight loss, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, irritability, weakness and fatigue.
There are two main types of diabetes:
Type 1: Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or otherwise known as juvenile onset diabetes, this type normally starts at childhood or early adulthood and has a very strong genetic components. This type is characterized by a complete lack of insulin as the name implies and must be treated with regular insulin injections.
This type 1 diabetes is also an autoimmune disease (that is a condition whereby the body disease fighting immune system attacks the healthy tissues and cells). In this case the immune system attacks and destroys insulin producing cells in the pancreas.
Type 2: Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity onset diabetes tends to develop in middle age or older individuals particularly those who are obese.
In this case the pancreas secrets enough insulin, but the body cells seem resistant to the effects making the body to release more insulin in the blood by trying to overcome the resistance.
Most cases of type 2 diabetes can be managed with a combination of diet, exercise and oral medication. Symptoms include repeated infections or skin sore that heals slowly or not at all, numbness in the hand or feet, tiredness and nausea.
For women, it is particularly important because diabetes seems to affect the female hormone and as a result, many women with diabetes develop coronary heart disease. Diabetes may cause blockage of large blood vessels that can lead to severe cardiovascular problems.
Studies have shown that some environmental factors can trigger type 1 diabetes in people with genetic predisposition for the disease.
Researchers attribute type 2 diabetes to obesity. So every pound of excess weight you gain increases your chance by 5 per cent at least.
Treatment includes controlling the amount of glucose in your blood stream depending on the type of diabetes, physical exercise, controlled diet and medication makes it less common. Most importantly, check your blood sugar regularly and see your physician for a more qualified advice.
A couple of drugs like, Glucophage, Actos, Precose, Avandis and many others have been developed to help with type 2 diabetes. Consult your doctor for a detailed and proper form of treatment.

No Comments »Legionella as Mediator of The Human Legionnaires Disease
January 28th, 2010 admin Legionnaire’s disease, although not too threatening to people of a healthy condition
Can have some rather devastating effects on those in poor health, with many unpleasant symptoms.
It is usually caused from the bacteria named legionella which can be found in many moisture environments, such as cooling towers, fresh water ponds, hot water systems and even the mist from various aerosols. However, the most destructive is places which can affect public water supply.
After the bacteria has developed into the Legionnaires disease in a human being, strains have been known to cause Pontiac Fever which can consequently lead to extremely unpleasant symptoms in unlucky patients such as nausea, fever, dry cough, effects on the nervous system, sickness, and chills.
The symptoms of legionnaire’s disease are first apparent anywhere between two to ten days of infection in which the infected can also show signs of anorexia, headache or myalgia which should immediately cause some concern and suspicion with medical staff.
Extreme cases of the disease have led to respiratory failure, shock, hypotension and many others resulting in patients being hospitalised and even death with a deceased average of 40 per year. Overall if not detected the results are not good; however they can be very simply and easily avoided.
Affecting between 8,000 to 18,000 individuals a year in the United States the process of detection and prevention is extremely important in each and every water system suspected of infection and consequently, hospitals and nursing homes containing communities who are most at risk, should be actively checked.
Of the entire detection and prevention process the most important step is the one in which
Legionella awareness training is put into practice. Lack of training and poor communication have recently been identified as one of the major causes in outbreaks of Legionnaires disease, so it extremely important to incorporate training into your particular work environment, as a way of keeping the disease at bay.
The risk assessment and water management allows the company to feel a sense of control over any potential health risks and can encourage system monitoring, however this can be done from an outside company and is highly recommended due to the experience and expertise which can be passed on for a more efficient and safe way of working.
With Legionella bacteria being able to fit into a single droplet of aerosolized water it is clear that there needs to be sufficient barriers to protect against the development into legionella disease and protect those at risk.
