Non medical approach to lowering your blood pressure

 

If I had high blood pressure I would use this device. You wear it on your wrist and you can monitor your blood pressure throughout the day. If you see that your blood pressure is high take a break...take 5 minutes to take deep breaths. Breath (deeply and slowly) in through your nose and out through your mouth. Deep breathing can lower your blood pressure instantly...why didn't the doctor tell you that?

Trouble shooting your Asthma and nutritional solutions

When you have Asthma it means that your immune system has been activated. It is an inflammatory response that constricts your bronchioles which can result in coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and/or chest tightness.

Medical doctors treat this condition with dangerous immune suppressing steroidal drugs.

I think it is an unwise idea to shut down the body's immune system. When we shut down the body's immune system we are more susceptible to sickness and/or disease. We are playing with fire when we do such things.

I do believe there is use for these type of drugs for emergency purposes and people with asthma should have these on hand incase of severe asthmatic attack.

If you would like to figure out how to solve this chronic problem though there is a way to do so.

Since asthma is the result of the immune system being activated, we want to find out what is activating the immune system. What is getting into the body that is causing this inflammatory immune response ?

There are only 3 ways that things can get into the body. Through the nose, mouth, or skin.

1) You can inhale something that causes an immune response.
2) You can absorb something through the skin (rare).
3) You can eat something that is causing an immune response.

The majority of the time it is what we are eating that is causing an immune response.

The most common food allergens or immune activating foods are dairy, wheat, peanuts, and soy, but any food (no matter how healthy)can cause an immune response.

The first strategy is to find out what food is causing your immune system to be activated and eliminate that food.

The second strategy is to use anti-inflammatory nutrients.

The most effective way to find out what food is triggering your asthma is to keep a food diary.
Write down every food or drink that you ingest and the time that you eat it.
You should also write down how you feel after you eat that food. 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours after you eat that food.

Look for digestive symptoms like gassiness, bloating, belching, indigestion, heart burn.
Look for any skin reactions.
Look for any other reactions in the body including the asthma.

 If I had asthma I would take advantage of these excellent digestive strengthening and anti-inflammatory supplements.

Magnesium: The most powerful relaxation mineral available

Dr Mark Hyman

Aspirin linked to Eye disease

If you listen to your stupid doctor's advise you might end up blind. A new study conducted by the University of Sydney  found an association between regular aspirin usage and Macular Degeneration.

While there is no doubt that aspirin has the ability to prevent you from getting a heart attack, is that really the wisest way to do it? I think that there is something wrong with the idea of using a drug to maintain your health. All pharmaceutical Drugs are toxic and need to be processed by the bodies poison control center...The liver. You are putting a heavy burden on your liver everytime you take a pharmaceutical drug whether its prescription or over the counter.

There are smarter stratgegies out there that I would use if I was worried about my cardiovascular health.

The first thing is obviously to eat a better diet & exercise

I would take a multivitamin and add additional  Vitamin C, Magnesium , Selenium, Vitamin K, Omega 3 fatty acids, CoQ10, Vitamin E, and chromium.

I would use these at their theurapeutic dosages which are well above the RDA's.

* This is my opinion and what I would do for myself based on the research I have done, I am not a medical doctor (thank god) nor are these statements approved by the FDA.

Why do couch potatoes live longer than athletes?

Have you ever heard about professional athletes dropping dead on the field? According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, 100,000 youngsters, as well as pros die each year from cardio-vascular disorders as a result of sports -THIS IS TWICE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT DIE ON THE NATIONS HIGHWAYS! 45,000 of the 100,000 play basketball, not boxing or football. In hard exercise, people sweat out many of their vital minerals - not just sodium and potassium. Rigorous exertion without replacing lost minerals can be fatal. There are sports drinks that are supposed to replace nutrients lost during exertion, these would work fine if they had more than sugar, salt and potassium, and food coloring.

Dr. Wallach has a unique hobby, collecting MD obituaries. Here is one case:
A recent favorite of mine is Dr. W.T.N., 48, captain of the 'Dream Team' of cardiologists who cared for the late Reggie Lewis, 27, captain of the Boston Celtics. (Reggie Lewis died of a cardio-myopathy heart attack." A simple computer search at the library would have turned up the large-scale study showing the only known reason for cardiomyopathy to be a simple selenium deficiency.) THE TROUBLE WITH MODERN MEDICINE IS THAT THE PROFESSION IS SLOW TO APPLY THEIR OWN RESEARCH. Guess who pays the price of ignorance?

Dr. W.T.N. taught at Harvard, was cardiac expert for NBA, and finished the Boston Marathon three times. You guessed it- he died one and a half years after Reggie from the same type of heart attack. Dr. W.T.N. forgot that the human body needs something more than drugs, pacemakers and surgery. They both died from mineral deficiencies.

Why are athletes dropping dead at early ages? Why are they not faring as well compared to couch potato's? That's because athlete's sweat more in 5 years than couch potato's do in 75 years. And when you sweat your not just sweating out water or Gatorade, your sweating out a soup that contains all 60 essential minerals and they are called essential minerals because if any of them are missing for any length of time, you get some horrible degenerative disease, many of which are life threatening. So this is a no brainer folks...

Who is more likely to die of a life threatening mineral deficiency disease, an athlete sweating out quarts and quarts of this mineral rich soup everyday or a couch potato in an air conditioned den, laying on the couch belching and flipping through the channels?

Now the bottom line message here is this, you don't need to be an athlete to sweat, you can be in the military doing your training. You could be a roofer, a carpenter, an electrician, a plumber, a carpet layer, you can be a farmer, you could be a dance instructor, you could work in a bakery, you could work in an air conditioned insurance agency where its so cold like it is in here you could hang meat in there you know, never sweat at your work place, an then you know your being inactive so you join a health club, where you go sweat 3 nights a week. Unless your replacing the minerals your sweating out, your not going to make it to 100. Your going to be sick and miserable the last 12 to 15 years of your life. Exercise without supplementation is suicide. Exercise without supplementation is a negative, not a positive. Just like running your car without oil.

The next medical dogma or lie were going to look at has to do with this salt thing. Believe it or not how many of you have ever heard that using the salt shaker is going to increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, you got to be dead in America not to have heard that one. What's the first thing a farmer puts out to live stock? Salt block isn't it. There's nobody out in the pasture telling a cow she is limited to one lick a day is there. And I refuse to believe that my human patients are dumber than a cow. So I say go ahead and pick up a salt shaker and lightning won't strike you, salt your food with impunity, you can salt your body, nothing bad is going to happen. Go ahead and do it. 98% of my patients love it, they bring me hundreds of new patients every month who want to use salt and not feel guilty about it. And the 2%, the bean counters, they say Wallach we love and respect you, but we have this high priced cardiologist who says your flying in the face of all the weighted medical evidence. You can't tell people they can use salt, they are going to get hypertension and heart disease and stroke.

Well I have been redeemed on my view on salt. This came out in 1997. This was presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, not the National Inquirer, this was in Portland Oregon. Doctors lack proof that to much salt is unhealthful. After years of telling people, healthy people that too much salt isn't good for them, researchers still don't have solid evidence to back up that claim. Now what do doctors call people who give unsubstantiated health or medical advice for a profit? Call them quacks don't they, absolutely. So if you have a doctor and I don't care if they are an Orthodox doctor or an alternative doctor, if they say to cut back on salt, you say doc, you're a quack. Your giving me unsubstantiated health and medical advice for a profit. There's not a single study, not a single study, which shows that restricting salt will reduce your risk of high blood pressure.

Are your child's vitamins derived from coal, cyanide, and gym chalk?

 


Most of the vitamins out on the market are of low grade quality and can do you more harm than good. Where a vitamin comes from will have a great impact on your health. When we give vitamins to our children or take them ourselves our goal is to improve our health not hinder it. You want to avoid low-grade toxic forms. Just because a famous doctor or celebrity endorses them doesn’t mean they are good for you. It would be wise to avoid artificial colors, gummies, and cartoon characters. So called “children’s vitamins” are usually pure junk that are not absorbed well and loaded with toxins.

     The best way to tell if a multivitamin is of low grade quality is to look for the form of Vitamin b12 that they are using. If the bottle says Cyanocobalamin put it back on the shelf. It is the cheapest form of vitamin b12 a company can use. When your body breaks down Cyanocobalamin it releases cyanide (a poison) into the bloodstream. Now your body has to work hard to expel this toxin from the body. When Cobalamin is released it has to be turned into either methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin before it can be used in the body. So look for Vitamin b12 as methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin. These are the forms your body can use more safely & effectively. If a multivitamin doesn’t specify which form of vitamin b12 it contains it is most likely Cyanocobalamin, so look elsewhere.

     When it comes to Calcium there are many different sources available. If your Multivitamin consists of calcium carbonate you might be pleased to know that you are eating gym chalk. Calcium Carbonate is also one of the hardest forms of calcium to absorb. Elderly populations as well as others that have weak digestion will not be able to absorb this form of calcium well. Other cheap forms of Calcium are dolomite, oyster shell, bone meal and calcium gluconate which is made up of 9% calcium and 91% glucose. These forms of calcium have poor absorption which can lead to problems in the body because the calcium can calcify (harden) and form kidney stones, gallstones, or end up calcifying your arteries.

     Calcium Taurate, microcrystalline hydroxyappetite (MCHC) and Coral Calcium from the ocean are excellent sources of calcium. Taurate is combined with calcium to help relax the nerves. MCHC can easily be absorbed by your bones because it is made up of small pieces of intact bone. There are two types of Coral Calcium, one obtained from coral reefs in the ocean and the other from coral reefs that have been washed up on land. The only one that should be taken is the one that is from the ocean waters. This coral calcium has a natural calcium to magnesium ration of 2:1 as well as other trace minerals. The one from the land usually has a depleted mineral content which vitamin companies have to fortify with cheap synthetic magnesium. You can usually tell it is the land version because the calcium to magnesium ratio will differ from Coral Calcium's natural 2:1 ratio.

     Magnesium oxide is the most common form of magnesium that is used by supplement companies. It is a cheap form of magnesium that can do more harm than good. When magnesium oxide is broken down you need antioxidants to neutralize the oxides that are released. Furthermore the magnesium now needs something to transport it. Magnesium Malate is a better form of magnesium

If the Vitamin E that you are using has a dl-Alpha in front of it, most likely it is derived from Coal tar!! Better forms are D-Alpha Tocopherol and it is better to have a mix of them like beta, gamma, and delta Tocopherol.
