Does Your Doctor Understand There Is An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

Portrait of the old woman on a green background

If your doctor understood that there is an epidemic of heart failure threatening the lives of most of the clientele he/she sees everyday …

Your doctor would be careful to give you more options for heart disease prevention.

Take a look around you.

Are the people you care about dying from heart failure, stroke and other cardiovascular related issues?

Of course they are.  Heart disease is killing us more than everything else.

 

Do you know that cholesterol lowering medication will NOT Continue reading Does Your Doctor Understand There Is An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

Is There a Secret Cure For An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

Do you read Malcolm Gladwell?

The man is an amazing author!Is there a secret cure for an epidemic of heart failure?

He inspires me so much I am planning a “Malcolm Gladwell Book Club” for Life Breath Club Members!

In my humble opinion his books are, each and everyone, a potential Heart Failure Solution.

His first book,  The Tipping Point, gives us a powerful lesson about the difference ONE person can make on this planet.

His second, Blink, inspires us to honor our brilliance by thinking without thinking.

To me, Malcolm Gladwell’s most important work to date is Outliers because of the powerful and very important message within his stories!

My translation of that message is “LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF!”

I want to share one of the stories I learned from Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers.

But first, I want to clear up an apparent misconception this brilliant author has, in an attempt to shine a light on this issue for you!

 

In the introduction to Outliers Mr. Gladwell speaks of the epidemic of heart disease as if it were past tense and the advances in modern medicine as though they have been successful.

He says:

“This was the 1950’s, years before the advent of cholesterol-lowering drugs and aggressive measures to prevent heart disease.  Heart attacks were an epidemic in the United States.  They were the leading cause of death in men under the age of sixty-five.  It was impossible to be a doctor, common sense said, and not see heart disease.”

In the introduction to Outliers Malcolm Gladwell seems to be under the impression that something has changed. 

It hasn’t!

It is still impossible Continue reading Is There a Secret Cure For An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

Heart disease is killing us more than everything else combined. 

An epidemic of heart failure is responsible for the soaring death count!

If you are like most people, you are likely to listen to the medical merchants who will want to manage your heart disease with medical intervention every 10 years.

Yes! Every 10 years.

Coronary artery bypass surgery statistically needs to be repeated every 10 years.

Surgically managing your disease means Continue reading Is The Heart Bypass Surgery Model Of Care Responsible For An Epidemic Of Heart Failure?

Did You Know That Stages of Dying From Heart Failure Can Happen Without You Even Noticing?

UPDATE  March 3, 2012

It’s important to realize that the seriousness of what you are dealing with urgently calls for you to take action.

Your chance to recover from debilitating illness largely depends on your awareness of exactly what it is that you need to do.

The harm caused by pharmaceutical drugs is another possible obstacle.

Since your disease process is very advanced by the time you receive a heart failure diagnosis you have good reason to be concerned.  So often though, I see that caregivers are also living with very concerning symptoms that are never addressed until they themselves are facing drastic circumstances!

Heart Failure Solutions offers real answers for Heart Failure and other forms of cardiovascular disease as well as any other disease  that might show up on your journey to wellness.

The tools are here for you to utilize.  Only you can receive this gift.  If your loved one can’t see the value in simple change you can’t want it FOR them.

This is NOT pie in the sky!  This is real hope and real solution.

Starting sooner than later is a really great idea, but even if you are already in dire straights, the information you’ll find here is about what you can do RIGHT NOW to help yourself.

What’s done is done.  Are you ready to step up for yourself?

=============================================================================================================================

 

If you are wondering about the stages of dying from heart failure, you or your loved one are probably late in the disease process.

By the time heart failure is diagnosed, you have already been suffering from heart disease for years.

If your doctor says your heart failure was caused from “a virus of unknown origin”, that information is not helpful.

Heart disease IS a disease of the circulating blood.

Bacteria and viruses may very well contribute to the growing disease in your circulating blood, but Continue reading Did You Know That Stages of Dying From Heart Failure Can Happen Without You Even Noticing?

If Heart Failure Is a Deadly Diagnosis, are There Really Solutions For An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

A Heart Failure Diagnosis is almost a death sentence.

If your doctor has given you the diagnosis, you are in big trouble.

Heart Failure is not a diagnosis that is typically even suggested until there are harsh signs of impending doom.

Within the medical community it seems like a heart failure diagnosis means admitting defeat.  That might be one reason why heart failure is SO commonly mis-diagnosed as asthma!

The point is that you NEED to make yourself AWARE of what causes contribute to Heart Failure as well as symptoms that precede it: Continue reading If Heart Failure Is a Deadly Diagnosis, are There Really Solutions For An Epidemic of Heart Failure?

Are You Waiting For a Heart Disease Symptom to Alarm You Into Action?

happy old woman showing thumb up

Are you worried about heart disease?

You’re in good company.  When you lose loved ones due to heart disease it tends to cause some worry, at least in the back of your mind.

Heart Disease is the number one killer in the world today but there is often no warning before sudden death shocks your family, leaving them to pick up the pieces of their lives without you.

Patti is one lady who has told me she has suffered a fate much worse than sudden death …

“You begin to experience uncomfortable symptoms such as chest pain.

Your doctor convinces you to look at your pain as a plumbing problem in your heart, and you allow him to cut you open to “fix” the problem.

Your surgeon and your primary physician do not make you understand that this is a temporary fix and you are back under the knife less than a decade later.”

I can see why Patti tells her story as “A fate worse than death”.

Cutting your chest open is hard on you, no doubt!  In fact major surgery is oxygen draining, therefore life draining.

Heart disease is also not a plumbing problem, so you will have lost much of your strength, and livelihood, along with plenty of your future potential.

  1. As far as your life time income is concerned, you are talking perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  2. The loss of Joy and happy memories can not be measured.
  3. The needless suffering is hard to fathom unless you have been there and done that, but on the second round of by-pass surgery you will know exactly what is coming.

Patti is actually one of the lucky ones.  She survived her ordeal with repeated heart surgery to enjoy some retirement years.  She is a proud lady, but she has obviously suffered a great deal of loss due to the consequences of treating heart disease without addressing the cause of heart disease.

As Patti puts it, she “learned her lesson and lived to see another sunset”.

Assuming you are not being rushed into emergency surgery for urgent acute care, do you have options for your heart disease symptom other than surgery?

How do you address the real cause of heart disease?

Certainly your doctor has spoke to you about diet and life style change.

You probably blew it off after he told you that your lab tests were all within normal limits.

When you experience a serious heart disease symptom will it alarm you into scheduling surgery, or seeking solutions?

Dr. Majid Ali, author of Oxygen and Aging, is a blood expert.  I’d wager that he has looked at blood as closely as anyone on the planet.  He is also a very wise and successful doctor.

Dr. Ali will teach you that your heart disease symptom is not a plumbing problem.  It’s a problem of your circulating blood and endo cells.  (The cells lining every blood vessel in your body.)

Acidity and increased free radical activity thicken your blood and clot up the proteins, starting in the plasma and then trapping the red cells in the sludge.  These micro clots stick to the endo cells everywhere in your body.

Dr. Ali teaches us that “Oxygen governs and regulates the activity of all clot busting systems of the body”.

It behooves you to Increase Your Oxygen … anyway you can … asap!

If you wait until your heart disease symptom has become urgent there may not be time to learn how to breathe more optimally and supplemental oxygen may no longer make any difference.

However, this urgent state is not caused by clogged plumbing.

The sludging action will eventually irritate your endo cells and then the muscles in your arteries causing vaso spasm.

Which will cause:

  • chest pain
  • heart rhythm problems
  • heart rate palpitations
  • skipped heart beat
  • atrial fibrillation
  • you ending up in a hospital

There is no replacement for Acute Care.  When you need it you need it.  So seek help immediately when you experience worrisome symptoms.

Heart Failure Solutions “Increase Your Oxygen” Is designed to guide you to healthier habits BEFORE you need to call 911!

As Dr. Ali always says, “Safety First”.

Though he also says your breathing can mean the difference between “a heart attack and no heart attack”!

Take action BEFORE you need urgent care!
