Heart Disease PREVENTION &Reversal

1. Heart Disease PREVENTION &Reversal Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. Franklin D. Roosevelt

2. "Although the adult individual today has much less chance of dying from smallpox, cholera, or typhoid, than he had 50 years ago, he surely has more prospect of being tortured by some form of cancer, afflicted with slow diseases of the kidneys, of the circulatory apparatus or the endocrine glands, and of going insane . . . Modern medicine protects him (attempts to) against infections which kill rapidly, but leaves him exposed to the slower and more cruel diseases." he surely has more prospect of being tortured by some form of cancer, afflicted with slow diseases of the kidneys, of the circulatory apparatus or the endocrine glands, and of going insane . . .

3. Artery and veins

4. Blood pressure sounds ..vital sign? In 1905 Dr Nicolai Korotkoff announced a new method to determine blood pressure. Korotkoff found that as the cuff deflated he heard different noises--snapping, murmur-like noises, and muffled tones. Since then several different theories for what causes Korotkoff : the cavitation theory the arterial wall theory the turbulence theory the transmission of heart sounds theory, the water hammer theory.

5. Blood Pressure University of Leicester 24 August 2011 first time in over a century that the way blood pressure is routinely monitored by GPs has been changed. University of Leicester Professor Bryan Williams… believes this new approach will mean that as many as 25% of people diagnosed as having high blood pressure using the current method of diagnosis, may not be hypertensive and may not need treatment. In the morning pressure steps up nearly to its level during sex and remains high for hours Allostasis “stability through change”

7. Principles of Allostasis: optimal design, predictive regulation, pathophysiology and rational therapeutics. Peter Sterling Cambridge University In medicine, major diseases now rise in prevalence, such as essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes, whose causes the homeostasis model cannot explain.…And treating these diseases with drugs to fix low-level mechanisms that are not broken turns out not to work particularly well. rise in prevalence, such as essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes, whose causes the homeostasis model cannot explain treating these diseases with drugs to fix low-level mechanisms that are not broken turns out not to work particularly well.

8. Higher Blood Pressure had lower death rates Heart failure patients with high systolic blood pressures had lower death rates. Mortality rates were more than four times higher for those with systolic pressures of less than 120, in comparison to those who had pressure over 161. These conclusions were gleaned from research on more than 48,000 heart failure patients seen at 259 U.S. hospitals between March 2003 and December 2004. Journal of the American Medical Association November 8, 2006; 296(18): 2217-2226

9. What is low blood pressure (Nyuna Raktachap) If the pressure of the blood being pumped by the heart into the arteries falls below the average 140 (systolic) and 80 (diastolic), there may be increase in the pulse rate, cold sweats, and a feeling of extreme weakness. ….if it falls below the minimum necessary for sound health, it should cause worry. The first requirement is to ascertain the cause of the malady. low blood pressure =Nyuna Raktachap

10. the blood output of the heart is artificially reduced, causing less oxygen to reach the body’s cells and tissues. The result will be normal blood pressure cuff readings The body still needs all that blood it needed before taking the drugs, The body is now being forced to go through life with less oxygen than it needs, and organs slowly start wearing out.

11. Epigenetics genes can be turned on (expressed) or turned off (silenced) • Drugs that are known to cause epigenetic • changes include : • statin cholesterol-lowering drugs, • antidepressants, • beta blockers • Diuretics • tamoxifen • methotrexate, • anti-inflammatories • even anesthetics, • oral contraceptives • antibiotics. • Permanent changes in the epigenome • Researchers are most concerned that drugs may produce defects in subsequent generations. They speculate that the current diabesity epidemic may be hastened by drugs.[Metabolism Clinical and Experimental 57: (2008) S16–S23]

12. Epigenetics genes can be turned on (expressed) or turned off (silenced) …FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs can cause persistent epigenetic changes. …pharmaceuticals may be involved in the etiology of heart disease, cancer, nerve and mental disorders, obesity, diabetes, leukemia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, infertility, and sexual dysfunction. …"consequences for modern medicine are profound, since it would imply that our current understanding of pharmacology is an oversimplification."

14. Doctors manage cardiovascular risk factors "according to current clinical practice." And a handy checklist is provided: *Smoking? ----------------------Got drugs for that. High blood pressure? ---Got drugs for that.High cholesterol? ----------Got drugs for that.High blood sugar? ---------Got drugs for that.Overweight? ----------------- Got drugs for that. * Questions you MUST get your doctor to answer first: Do I really need to use this potentially dangerous drugs? Are these drugs studied long term? Will the drugs eliminate the problem or create another? cardiovascular risk factors or are they the body adapting to stress?

15. Stents may cause clots to form

16. Stents cause higher death rate • New England Journal of Medicine. Cindy L. Grines, M.D., Beaumont cardiologist, • worldwide study that involved 900 patients at 62 centers. • All patients in the study were treated within 12 hours of their heart attack. • a higher death rate (4.2% Stent & angioplasty vs. 2.7% angioplasty) • They also unexpectedly experienced decreased blood flow following stent placement. • Dr. Grines says "The higher mortality rate and decrease in blood flow makes it necessary for additional research to be conducted before routine stenting can be recommended as a standard of care." • Dr. Grines says that the study also offers no evidence that routine stent placement after a heart attack will reduce future complications such as stroke or another heart attack.

17. Heart bypass not effective longterm • The average death rate for bypass surgery is greater than the average death rate of heart patients treated without surgery. • Heart disease progresses faster in those who have had invasive surgery than in those treated non-surgically. • Heart Surgery kills thousands of patients per year and debilitates thousands more.

22. (NSAIDs) caused a greater than 10-fold increase in the risk of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Archives of Internal Medicine June 2000; 160: 777-784. NSAIDs May Cause 20% of all Heart Failures and cause High blood pressure • The study followed more than 80,000 women between the ages of 31 and 50 years who were initially hypertension-free. • two years later • women who used NSAIDs 22 days or more per month, the risk of high-blood pressure increased some 86 percent. Nonetheless, it was concluded that a large portion of U.S. hypertension cases may be the result of over-using these pain medications • Archives of Internal Medicine. October 28, 2002;162:2204-2208

24. (table 2, fig 2). However, the present analysis of the background population of 3313 men gives an important new perspective on this outcome. The initial setting of the study and the data linkage with the national death register offered a unique chance of obtaining information on pretrial risk factors and survival follow up from men who refused to participate in or were excluded from the actual prevention trial. The present results show that the low risk group-as defined by the cardiovascular risk factor status in the 1960s and 1974-continues to have the best prognosis after 18 years. This concerns not only coronary, but cancer and total mortality as well. Furthermore, those who refused the intervention trial fare even worse than the intervention group. On the other hand, smoking, serum cholesterol, and blood pressure also significantly predicted total deaths in this population of high social class. Unexpectedly, baseline smoking (smoker/non-smoker) did not significantly predict coronary mortality (RR 1-22, 95% 089 to 1-67), but the effect is probably diluted by smoking cessation over the follow up years Helsinki Businessmen Study shuffle Discussion The unexpected result of the Helsinki Businessmen Study seemed to give a pessimistic impression of multifactorial primary prevention, … 18 year results still show a higher mortality in the intervention than in the control group… . As a whole, the Helsinki Businessmen Study results cannot be interpreted as refuting the current idea of cardiovascular risk factors.

25. People who are diagnosed with heart failure and follow a treatment regimen that includes blood thinners such as aspirin or coumadin could be putting their health into more danger. Based on the results from this study, experts said that treatment of heart failure involving a multitude of drugs that proved to be ineffective should be eliminated as a treatment option. American Heart Journal July 2004;148(1):157-64 The researchers note that "Conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are associated with a spectrum of toxic effects," something which many patients are likely unaware of. "No difference was noted in the incidence of cardiovascular events …irrespective of aspirin use." JAMA September 13, 2000;284:1247-1255 Prophylactic Aspirin not effective or safe

26. magnesium deficiency occurred after one year, but some were deficient within just three months from PPI • . FDA : "Low serum magnesium levels can result in serious adverse events including: • muscle spasm (tetany), • irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias) • convulsions (seizures) • risk of cognitive decline • decreased DNA production, • type 2 diabetes) • increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, and spine with high doses or long-term use

28. Prescription for Disaster • "You may have helped the heart, but you haven't helped the patient. You still have to look at the impact on the patient over all.“ • Dr. Beatrice Golomb, University of California, San Francisco, • "Statins have side effects that are underrated. It's much more frequent and serious than has been reported." • Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, Swedish physician • side effects: diabetes, muscle pain, cognitive problems, impotence, etc…

29. Rebel Doctors

30. Coronary heart disease patients who received EECP, rather than angioplasty, were less likely to undergo repeat treatment at one- and five-year follow-up than patients treated with angioplasty. Within five years of initial treatment, patients treated with coronary bypass, angioplasty, or EECP all experienced similar subsequent mortality and heart attack rates, although the rate of deaths within five years was slightly lower for both EECP and bypass surgery than for angioplasty.

We have impaired digestion Juicing will help to "pre-digest" Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner. eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet.

32. A study of more than 125,000 healthcare workers found that just one additional daily serving of fruit or vegetables lowered the risk of heart disease. • Vegetables such as spinach , kale , broccoli and fruits such as oranges , grapefruits • Protective effect of greater consumption of fruits and vegetables, in particular green leafy vegetables and vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, against risk for coronary heart disease. • Protect people with type 2 diabetes against heart attack, • Fruits and vegetables contain myriad compounds that have been linked with improved health. Fiber , potassium , folate , antioxidants • Annals of Internal Medicine June 19, 2001;134:1106-1114 Just One Extra Serving of Vegetables Lowers Heart Disease Risk

33. In the 25 years between 1981 and 2006 mortality rates from coronary heart disease (CHD) in Iceland decreased by an amazing 80 percent in men and women between the ages of 25 and 74. Findings of a study by the Icelandic Heart Association and the University of Iceland have the answer -- the vast majority of the cardiac mortality decrease in Iceland was attributable to reductions in risk factors throughout the general population. And the lowered risk was accomplished by simply adopting natural, healthy living strategies. Bottom line: the "miracle" heart attack-disease prescription turned out to be getting more exercise, not smoking and eating nutritious foods.Dr. Thor Aspelund and his research team from the Icelandic Heart Association. Specifically, it appears Icelanders are living longer with healthier hearts because they have taken control of their health. 80% reduction in CHD death rates
