Can Heart Healthy Tips Help You, Or Are You a Victim of Your Genes?

Heart healthy tips sound light weight when you consider that the world is facing an epidemic of heart failure.

Have you heard of Bruce Lipton? He should be famous for the work he did in the 1960s that gave solid proof that your thoughts effect you in all areas of life. The only reason he isn’t famous in every household ’round the world is that people weren’t quite ready to embrace quantum physics back then.

The world was still flat.

Western medicine (those entities that Dr. Ali refers to as medical merchants) would like you to believe that the world is flat.

Tapping World Summit 2011 is upon us. The world is round!

Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) Is a Powerful Healing Tool!

Processing your emotions instead of stuffing them is the secret to healing with your mind.

The Tapping World Summit is giving Bruce Lipton a voice. The world is finally ready to listen.

The medical community at large wants you to believe that you are a victim of your genes and you need to look at your heart disease as a plumbing problem. They want you to think that there is nothing you can do to avoid their drugs and surgery.

Take 35 minutes out of your busy schedule to learn why you have more control over your health and wellness than you have been taught all your life.

Click on the link below and hear it from Bruce Lipton himself, if you’d like. Then come on back and finish the post. You’re going to want to hear about how this fits in to your big picture.

Learn how you can heal yourself or make yourself sick.

If your mind believes you are taking a miracle drug, you will heal even if it is really just a sugar pill.

It is a proven fact that The Placebo Effect is responsible for 1/3 of all medical healing!

The Nocebo Effect is just as powerful in the opposite direction.

Is the World Facing an Epidemic of Heart Failure?

If there is truly an epidemic of heart failure going on in the world today, what can you do about it?

Heart Failure is the result of underlying disease processes that fatally damage your heart!

Your elevated blood sugar and blood pressure are huge contributing factors to developing heart failure.

Of course you can’t discuss the cause of heart failure without acknowledging the fact that nutrition and exercise have everything to do with health and vitality.

As well as nourishing you physically, nutrition and exercise affect the chemical environment of your brain and blood stream influencing your behaviors, emotions and even mental disorders.

Nutrition can not be minimized as a contributing factor of heart failure.

Nutrition is a BIG deal. Eat more fruits and vegetables!

There’s an epidemic of heart failure going on … haven’t you heard?

Seriously, ignoring any of the contributory causes of heart failure is a grievous mistake.

It is easier to prioritize better food choices and more activity for your loved one, than it is to make sure you give yourself that extra special care.

A sincere desire for change allows you to seek a better approach to diet and lifestyle, though you will have to find the inspiration and determination to actually follow through consistently before you realize the benefits.

Your health is the result of your habits.

Your bad habits are often the gag you use to silence your suppressed emotions!

Your unprocessed emotions are also an important contributor to heart failure! Continue reading article →

Low Oxygen Level: Do You Suck at Holding Onto Oxygen?

Do you understand how important oxygen is to your health and well being?

If your oxygen level is below 92% blood oxygen saturation you are dying.

No ifs ands or butts about it.

If you are living with low oxygen level your body is breaking down and preparing to discharge from planet earth.

Without oxygen your cells will die within 4 minutes.

It’s not that you don’t have oxygen in your body when your blood oxygen saturation is 91%, BUT the pressure of the oxygen in your blood stream is too low to penetrate the walls of your red blood cells and catch its ride on your hemoglobin. At 92% there is sufficient pressure to allow oxygen to catch that Joy Ride!

There is a team of brilliant brothers who create videos that they share on Youtube. They are always entertaining and frequently educational. I particularly love Hank’s explanation of blood.

See if Hank can help you understand the beautiful life supporting journey that oxygen makes through your body. Your life depends on it, and Hank might help you laugh about it while you learn to appreciate its importance.

Ok, now I know this guy is totally brilliant and maybe a little hard to follow, but I want to point out something he said.

“The contents of RB are getting more and more acidic … and it starts to really suck at holding on to oxygen.”

Do you understand what Hank means by that?

Hank is talking about the normal functioning of your body.

Like he said, “the product of any work done by your body is carbon dioxide.”

Accumulating carbon dioxide quickly increases the acidity in your blood, which causes your RBs to release a flood of oxygen into your body.

Flooding your system with oxygen is REALLY good for you!

“So wait a minute … increased acidity is good for me?”

There is a lot of information available these days that tells you that you should be working to alka`lize your system rather than INCREASE ACIDITY!

“What gives?”

It might help you to think of your blood as being OUTSIDE your body.

Just like your stomach contents aren’t technically IN your body until you absorb them, your blood cruises around in your blood vessels delivering all necessary nutrients to every cell in your body without actually ever leaving your blood stream.

Increasing the acidity INSIDE your blood helps oxygen get OUTSIDE your blood.

Taking measures to reduce acidity and promote alkalinity IN your BODY is tremendously helpful .

The increasing acidity in your blood causes the cells of your body to be bathed in oxygen. This phenomenon, all by itself will reduce the acidity of the cells INSIDE your BODY!

The more acidic your body is, the more oxygen it needs. The more you alkalize your body, the less oxygen you need.

You NEED your blood to deliver oxygen and your cells to use oxygen wisely.

You want to hold onto oxygen once it is delivered to your cells. Bodily alkalizing is the way to support your healing.

So, how do you reduce the acidity in your BODY so you don’t suck at holding on to oxygen when it counts?

Start with the basics:

Sacred Breathing

The most powerful and immediate way to bathe your cells in oxygen is by shifting your bio-chemistry with your breathing!

With plenty of functional oxygen to keep your system running smoothly, you’ll be better able to keep up with your bodily house cleaning.

You want to cultivate acid in your blood to promote awesome oxygen delivery that will result in less acid in your body.

I know, a bit confusing, but no worries, The Life Breath Coach will help you sort this out on the weekly Life Breath Club Meeting.

Nutrition

The foods you eat contribute to your acidity OR help you to alkalize.

What Foods Make Your Body LESS Acidic?

Even healthy foods contribute to an acidic condition in your body.

Whole grains and beans are even acid producing!

ONLY Fruits and Veggies Have an Alkalyzing Effect On Your Body!

Even acidic fruits actually have an alkalizing effect on your body!

Now you know why 5 servings a day are SO important!

Food choices are very important!

If you’d like an easy way to boost nutrition while you work on better food choices you might want to try what I use.

My 8 year old son is having much less trouble learning in school and my energy level is much more stable since we began utilizing a very safe and effective nutritional supplement from a respectable company. I like them so much I’ve decided to promote them exclusively from the Heart Failure Solutions blog.

In the past, I’ve just encouraged folks to do their homework and to be careful to monitor blood pressure when they begin a new supplement, but I never went as far as making recommendations. I’ve decided this supplement is one I can get behind because of the awesome results my family has had. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped us!

We don’t have significant health issues that we are dealing with at my house, but I’ve been very encouraged to hear the success stories from so many around blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and weight loss with this line of products!

The Big “Secret Price-Gouging Swindle” Drug Companies Will Never Admit…

This article on Dr. Mercola’s blog is such important information that I wanted to waste no time in sharing it with you.

Following is the entire article from Mercola.com

A bill that would end an underhanded tactic that delays the introduction of generic drugs in the marketplace is pending in the Senate.

The tactic, known as “pay for delay,” occurs when a brand-name drug maker pays a significant sum of money to a generic drug maker in exchange for delaying the marketing of the new generic drug.

This allows brand-name drug makers to keep earning profits without competition, while the generic drug maker gets a large sum of “easy, risk-free money.”

As the New York Times reported:

“Both companies profit. The consumer, unfortunately, loses — by paying high, brand-name drug prices instead of lower prices for a generic. The Federal Trade Commission, which has been campaigning to end the practice, estimates that pay-for-delay agreements cost consumers at least $3.5 billion a year.”

Dr. Mercola’s Comments:

Many people still do not understand the enormous power wielded by the pharmaceutical industry. They, in a very real sense, have dictated the rules of the entire health care system through their massive lobbying, and their financial influence has shaped the health of the entire U.S. population, if not the world, for the worse.

At the heart of their financial success, of course, are the extremely profitable drugs that so many Americans use on a daily basis. The drug prices not only start out extraordinarily high to begin with, but the drug companies have underhanded tactics to ensure their profits keep rolling in, unchallenged, for as long as possible.

One of the most blatant of these is known as “pay for delay” — and there is legislation pending in the Senate that could stop it in its tracks.

“Pay for Delay” Schemes Should be Made Illegal

When a brand-name drug comes off patent, generic equivalents emerge that typically cost consumers far less than the brand-name version. Generic drugs are still overpriced in their own right, but less so than the brand-name drugs.

In the event that a generic drug manufacturer challenges a patent on a brand-name version, it can lead to a costly legal battle that may end up with a lost patent for the brand-name drug.

Knowing this, drug companies will offer to pay their generic rivals a significant sum of money in exchange for delaying the release of their lower priced, generic drug. Both companies profit from the scenario, but consumers lose out by having to continue to pay drug prices that are essentially fixed by the pharmaceutical companies themselves.

There is now a bill pending in the Senate that would essentially ban pay-for-delay schemes because they are both illegal and anticompetitive, but it remains uncertain whether the bill will actually pass — an atrocity considering how much money is being wasted by allowing pay-for-delay to continue.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, ending the practice would save consumers at least $3.5 billion a year, while the Congressional Budget Office stated banning pay-for-delay would reduce the federal deficit by $2.6 billion in the next 10 years.

Can You Recognize Age Dementia Symptoms?

Every time you forget something, do you worry about dementia?

When you start creeping up there in age, it’s easy to be a little nervous about memory loss. Losing your memory is like dying before you die.

Your memory doesn’t work quite as well as you age, but a little forgetfulness is no reason to worry about age dementia symptom.

Many things other than aging alone can cause memory problems.

depression
dementia (severe problems with memory and thinking, such as Alzheimer’s disease)
side effects of drugs
strokes
head injury
alcoholism

Alzheimer’s disease starts by changing your recent memory. If you have Alzheimer’s disease you might remember even small details of your past but not be able to remember recent events or conversations. Over time, the disease affects all parts of your memory.

Age dementia symptoms are certainly worrisome. They are more than normal aging.

First you want to rule out any of the issues above that might be contributing to your memory loss. Don’t assume the worst until you have addressed other possibilities.

Signs that are concerning: Continue reading article →

Could Your Persistent Cough Have Anything to do With Your Antihistamine?

Do you have a persistent cough that doesn’t want to go away?

Is it driving you nuts?

Lena had sinus issues.

She said her family doctor had made the comment years ago, that her nose was … “not a white man’s nose”.

Though a funny story, she was at a loss for exactly what that meant, and wondered if the doctor had racial issues.

All Lena knew was that her nose was always stuffed up.

She accepted the daily use of antihistamines as her lot in life.

They seemed harmless enough. Lena really didn’t notice any side effects, but then she had been using them for so many years she had lost count.

When I began to question Lena about her re-occurring persistent cough, I was actually hopeful that it could be caused by sinus issues.

Lena insisted that the cough was coming from her lungs.

Persistently coughing up clear mucus is indicative of fluid in your lungs. I was hopeful that Lena was wrong. Fluid in your lungs is a serious issue.

You can often verify fluid in the lungs by listening with a stethoscope, though that fluid will not show up on x-ray early on in the disease process.

In Lena’s case, when I listened to her back over the lowest three ribs on each side for the tell tale popping sounds of fluid, I heard nothing at all. I heard no air flow in or out.

If Lena had fluid in her lungs it was not audible.

I encouraged Lena to inquire with her doctor about getting an inhaler. Whether or not she had fluid in her lungs, Lena needed to ventilate better.

Lena’s doctor wouldn’t give her an order for an inhaler because she wasn’t wheezing.

After purchasing an over the counter inhaler and giving it a try, Lena was surprised how much more deeply she could breathe.

When I took a listen to her lungs she had little squeaks all over the place, but not necessarily fluid. This solved the problem of the lack of a prescription inhaler. Her doctor gave her one right away when she showed up at his office wheezing and squeaky.

However, the persistent cough continued.

I had mentioned to Lena that her daily antihistamine dosing might be problematic many times before. Shear sleep deprivation and fatigue ate away at her resistance until she was ready to take absolutely any advice and give it a try.

“How can I stop this cough?”

When I brought up the subject of antihistamines with Lena, she protested yet again. She couldn’t fathom the possibility that her harmless daily antihistamine could possibly be the culprit.

I had to pull out documentation of the side effects to stifle her argument, but that certainly GOT her attention.

She was shocked and in a state of disbelief so I gave her some time to digest the information.

Do you know the side effects of antihistamines? Continue reading article →
