CoQ10 for Heart Disease

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

CoQ10: An anti-oxidant used for cell energy production, taken to improve heart circulation, educate yourself with this product review about its natural form and the supplement that is safe to consume.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is naturally produced by the body and used for basis cell function by increasing cellular energy. The heart, liver, kidney and pancreas are responsible for the creation of CoQ10, which is also called ubiquinone (meaning “found everywhere”).

Those who may suffer from heart conditions, Parkinson’s disease, migraines, diabetes and other chronic diseases are often found to have low levels of CoQ10. While the body can produce CoQ10, the production decreases with age, disease or as a result of interference from medications, particularly statin drugs. As a result, supplements can increase the levels of CoQ10 since only minimal amounts can be found in foods such as beef and chicken.

Because CoQ10 assists in cell energy production, it can help treat congestive heart failure by improving circulation and lowering blood pressure, increasing energy production in the heart to strengthen the pumping action, as well as by providing antioxidant properties. It may also increase your life span!

The government does not regular the testing of CoQ10 supplements, but 20 manufacturers were chosen and 21 others requested certification by a well-known consumer testing and reporting company. All supplement products but one were found to contain the labeled amounts of CoQ10.

It is NOT recommended to purchase or consume Healthy America® Coenzyme Q10 (150 mg per softgel), which did not pass laboratory testing.

The best absorption of CoQ10 is with the presence of oils, be it during a meal or if the supplement contains oil in the list of ingredients.

Consult with your doctor regarding dosage amounts. Typically, dosage can be 30-90 mg/day of CoQ10, but in some cases up to 200 mg per day. To treat congestive heart failure, a daily dose between 100-200 mg of CoQ10 is generally recommended, but it is also dependent on individual’s weight. For doses above 100mg, consider dividing it into 2 or 3 smaller doses. It may require 2-8 weeks of a full dose to experience results.

Side effects may include diarrhea or nausea. Order the recommended Home Cures That Work CoQ10 Supplement.

Peggy Fleming: Heart Champ

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Skating champion Peggy Fleming beats the heart disease that plagued her family.

Peggy Fleming has been an athletic inspiration to many of us on the ice. Now she has become a preventative health inspiration when it comes to heart disease. Losing her father to heart disease at the age of 41, then her sister to a fatal heart attack at 50, Peggy’s new life priority has become healthy living.

As an advocate for heart disease prevention, Peggy encourages these proactive steps:

  1. Daily take charge of your health. Upon researching complimentary medicine for the heart, Peggy started taking CoQ10, an antioxidant known for helping to treat cardiovascular disease. It helps daily with endurance and overall energy by improving circulation in the body, as well as efficiently manufacturing cholesterol.
  2. Watch what you eat. Peggy cooks healthfully, including eating the right foods such as vegetables, grains and legumes. She recommends eating foods high in fiber, up to 25-30 per day to help lower cholesterol. Good fuel for the body is the best diet for any Olympic athlete – or anyone with a heart.
  3. Exercise consistently. Even exercising 30-40 minutes most days can help prevent heart disease. Fleming chooses some sort of daily activity, be it running, swimming weight training or yoga, especially in the morning. By starting the day with daily fitness routines, her metabolism increases and makes managing her weight easier.
  4. Know your family history of heart disease. Having a parent with heart disease doubles your risk of heart disease. Plus, with a sibling who experienced heart problems, the risk for heart disease increased by as much as 45%. Know your family history and calculate age, gender, smoking, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and diabetes risks.
  5. Get regular check-ups. Peggy’s risk factor was genetics. Go see your doctor and find out what your risk factors are. Every 5 years you should get a complete blood profile test, starting at age 20. The test should include total LDL and HDL numbers.

The good news is that a family history of modifying lifestyles can act in your favor for preventing heart disease.

Peggy Fleming is a champion on the ice and off. By balancing exercise, supplements, healthy eating, regular doctor visits and knowledge of family history, she is an inspiration to all of us to take responsibility of our own health and not take it for granted. Be a champion yourself by taking charge of your own health today!

The Five Stages of Exercise Adoption

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Phase out heart disease danger by phasing in exercising.

“What fits your extremely busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead twenty four hours a day?”

According to the American Heart Association, “Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for developing coronary artery disease.” Fortunately, regular exercise can reduce the risk factor for heart disease and have many other benefits, including:

  • Strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Increase energy levels
  • Strengthen bones
  • Reduce body fat
  • Reduce stress, tension, anxiety and depression
  • Improve sleep

What Stage Are You In?

1. Pre-contemplation

At this stage you are not even thinking about exercise and have no intention of becoming more active. Moreover, you are most likely not even reading my book, Mind Over Body: The Key to Lasting Weight Loss Is All In Your Head!

Not a very good stage to be at!

2. Contemplation

You are thinking about exercise, but are not engaging in it. The brain is firing up neurotransmitters in the brain causing you to stay in a comfort zone. The key is to focus on the outcome of your goal. If you are fearful you are mostly likely to revert back. If you are empowered by thinking of the outcome, you are most likely to be empowered.

You are reading an exercise book, magazine or have purchased an exercise DVD, and are most likely to apply its concept. There is not a time frame in this stage, as you are the one to make a choice to start.

3. Preparation

You are getting ready to start an activity or are exercising on occasion, but it is still a new habit. At this phase, you are applying the exercise principles to overcome obstacles tempting you to revert back to old habits. You are ready to step-up and increase activity level.

At this stage, you are overcoming any obstacle. It starts at week 3 or 4 from beginning of behavior changes.

4. Action

You are exercising regularly for at least 12 weeks, and it has become a ritual. This phase is a good phase to be at and you are most likely to stick with it.

5. Maintenance

You have a ritual of exercising that is longer than 6 months. All new habits are now automatic. It is a part of you to be healthy and fit.

It is now your second nature; it is “automatic.” It’s a new you! This is the best stage to be at.

Resveratrol’s Real Importance

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Live longer and decrease the incidence of cardiac diseases with the skin of red grapes.

For the past year and a half, the press has bombarded us with news of resveratrol and its life-extending potential. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine, but not in sufficient amounts to explain why the French suffer a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats. When a description of this paradox was aired on 60 Minutes in 1991 with the proposal that red wine decreases the incidence of cardiac diseases, the consumption of red wine increased 44% and some wineries began lobbying for the right to label their products “health food.”

Last year, a study found that high doses of resveratrol mimicked some of the benefits of caloric restriction (including reduced effects of aging) in mice. Now, millions clamor after low-dose supplements in hopes of extending their lives. It’s probably very good for you, and I take it every day. In fact, GlaxoSmithKline thought enough about it to buy the rights for $720 million. They are developing a high concentration resveratrol diabetes drug.

Dr. David Sinclair of Sirtris, the company that sold the rights to Glaxo isn’t bashful about expressing his opinion about how resveratrol has the potential to extend lives and that it might eventually be a potent anti-aging drug, even though it cannot be prescribed for life extension purposes. He also has positive opinions about life extension in general.

In an article by Reason from the fightaging.org archives, we see such an opinion:

“…In truth, we’re fighting aging and extending lifespan every time a doctor prescribes a statin drug or recommends a healthier diet to a patient. And the fact remains that science has not yet discovered an indisputable biological ‘expiration date’ for a human life, nor is there good evidence that one exists.

“In time, the idea of an inevitable, debilitating decline starting at age 50 will seem as horrifying and primitive as it does for us, in the age of potent antibiotic cocktails, to imagine a young person in the 19th century dying from an infection caused by a splinter. As a society, we should not accept a terrible period of suffering, dependence, sickness, and frailty if we don’t have to. There’s nothing more natural than marshalling the body’s own defenses to treat and heal itself, and that is precisely what longevity genes like SIRT1 do.”

SIRT1 is the gene that resveratrol activates.

I recently wrote how the Hollywood crowd is not yet well versed on extreme life extension possibilities, but they do embrace it once they hear a little about it. I found they are a more receptive than most and lots more receptive than many. However, even the least receptive, including those who object to extreme life extension, clamor for the latest anti-aging rage such as resveratrol.

This is very encouraging to me. Many think we will have lots of resistance, and even organized resistance to supporting longevity research. We see it now. But the positive reaction to a potentially mild life-extending supplement such as resveratrol has those same people rushing to the health food stores.

  • Imagine what will happen when we develop and announce a dramatic life extender.
  • Imagine how many will finally line up to invest in technologies that will help ensure your longevity.

So, I think the biggest contribution resveratrol makes to the life extension movement is not its potential life-extending properties. I think it is the attention it has drawn to anti-aging and the demonstration we see that even people resistant to longevity will reverse their opinions once they see hope for themselves.

The survival mechanism has a way of overriding all sorts of philosophical viewpoints. Let’s work to introduce an opinion reversing “killer app” soon.

Ask The Manufacturer How To Have A Healthy Heart!

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

God’s healthy heart prevention program is spelled out in 1500 pages. His treatment program Spiritually Speaks cures and remedies — if you listen.

For months now, health care reform has been headline news. As contentious as this topic has become, no one disagrees:

  1. The costs are skyrocketing.
  2. There are many people who still don’t have access to good health care.

Unfortunately, very few are taking personal responsibility to prevent sicknesses and health problems. Instead, people are looking to the government to reform the system and make things better. There is great debate about the health care reform packages currently on the table in Washington. Some are saying they are like a hospital gown — you think you are covered but you really aren’t.

Spiritual Price Tag

Many are quite surprised when I show them the Bible has much to say about health, healing and, yes, national health care. THE LEWIN GROUP did a study recently and found that hundreds of billions of dollars are spent each year for health care to treat ailments caused by things the Bible forbids. There is a hefty national price tag for things like gluttony, sloth, sedentary lifestyles, promiscuity, substance abuse, etc. Eighty percent of health care costs in our country treat “chronic disease.” Overeating, no exercise and smoking cause chronic diseases. My contention is that if our lawmakers want to cut medical costs, reading a 1500 page health care bill probably won’t do it, but reading the 1500 page Bible will.

The thrust of these articles on the spiritual dimensions of health and wellness is that we aren’t just physical beings, we are spiritual beings and that these two are very inter-related. Those who are acquainted with the Bible know it is loaded with health mandates and ordinances for individuals and nations. Science is still catching up to the wisdom behind the curious dietary prescriptions found in the Old Testament. The Jewish dietary code in the Old Testament was aimed at sustaining health.

Dietary Code and Health Care From the Ages Saves

Dr. Michael Jacobson, author of THE WORD ON HEALTH, observed that in 1348 AD approximately 100 million people inhabited Europe, Africa and the Middle East and that 25 million (one quarter of the population) died of bubonic plague. The Jewish population, however, was not affected and Jacobson explains why:...

Heart Health Depends On Those Who Help Their Cells!

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Superior Natural Alternatives to Aspirin and Acetaminophen, without the harmful risk of internal bleeding, metabolic damage and tissue destruction.

It seems Americans have been abandoned in the waiting room of health care reform. The question of the day seems to be what to do when an aspirin a day just doesn’t work.

In the Beginning…There Was Aspirin

In fact, the whole “take an aspirin a day” lie may be actually doing more harm than good. About a decade ago, experts mistakenly started recommending people consume Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin (blood thinner)— like candy.

This new marketing approach of recommending drugs for symptoms people don’t have is referred to as “primary prevention.” I’m seeing more and more of this kind of dangerous thinking as drug companies continue suggesting “imaginary benefits” from consuming drugs before symptoms appear. By the way, “primary prevention” has nothing to do with preventing “the cause” of heart disease or anything else.

Please keep in mind: drugs are NOT foods, nutrients or vitamins, and true health is more than just being symptom free.

Any clinical studies I have seen only vaguely suggest it might be beneficial to take aspirin on a daily basis. They recommend anyone who has hypertension, high cholesterol or is overweight take aspirin every day.

The truth is, the second major cause of ulcers is from regular use of NSAIDs and aspirin. Unfortunately, its not uncommon for doctors to prescribe additional drugs to help people deal with the gastro-intestinal damage caused by the Over-The-Counter (OTC) chemicals and prescription NSAIDs they started them on to begin with.

Because aspirin was the first non-prescription “panacea” offered by drug companies, it was a Big Money producer. But when it was discovered to trigger irritation, ulceration and obstruction due to the swelling and scarring inflicted upon people’s intestines, it quickly lost popularity.

Then Came Acetaminophen

That’s when drug companies started developing further modified versions of aspirin, hence Acetaminophen. The problem is Acetaminophen poisoning...

Cutting Edge Natural Remedy Secrets Revealed for Heart Disease

February 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The surprising simple natural remedy in reversing heart disease with one everyday, common supplement, Vitamin C – according to a two-time Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine, Dr. Linus Pauling!

You may already know more than 60,000,000 Americans are diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Yet, few people know that heart disease can be successfully treated, without surgery or prescription medications, leading to a quick reversal.

If you are wondering if heart disease is curable or reversible, my response to you is that heart disease is a process. Like any process, once the driving factors are removed, the process will stop. Truth is, there are many documented cases of people who have completely recovered from heart disease, some in as few as 10 days — without any known risks.

Before any process can be reversed, it must first stop moving in its destructive direction. Only then can it turn around, eventually allowing the body’s healing process to restore, rebuild and revitalize a sustainable balance and harmony.

The good news is that there is a proven safe and effective natural remedy therapy, with more than 10 years’ experience behind it, which can help turn your heart disease around on a dime.

Today, I will introduce you to two-time Nobel Prize laureate Dr. Linus Pauling. He is one of many elite physicians and scientists throughout history who thought and lived “out-side the box.” Dr. Pauling is the only person ever to be the solo recipient of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, and even twice at that. Read on to learn why.

In his famous Unified Theory Lecture, Linus Pauling said, “I think I know what the answer is. We can get almost complete control of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes by the proper use of this therapy — even cure it.”

Dr. Pauling knew how to stop the number one killer of Americans way back in 1992.

You may be wondering why Westernized medicine seems ridiculously ignorant of this. The answer is because “treating heart disease” generates Big Pharma a fat $300,000,000,000 (BILLION) every year.

$300,000,000 (BILLION) in sales every year is an obscene amount of heart medications! Yet, despite tons of prescribed d

rugs, heart disease continues to destroy quality of life and kill more people than any other disease. Bottom-line is, we at Barton Publishing believe you deserve to know the truth about your health so you can make a powerful and lasting change in your life-time.

Dr. Linus Pauling discovered what he called the Unified Theory of Cardiovascular Disease. Dr. Pauling scientifically confirmed natural, low-cost “binding inhibitors” can prevent and dissolve arterial plaque build-up. To the left are 7 of Dr. Linus Pauling’s cutting edge discoveries.

The process referred to as heart disease basically starves the blood supply of vital organs like the heart, which triggers a ”Charlie Horse” reaction leading to heart attack and stroke. A more accurate name for this process is Occlusive Cardiovascular Disease (OCD) and is the inevitable result of chronic vitamin C depletion (chronic Scurvy). This eventually results in an inflammation, ulceration and hardening of the walls of the blood vessels.

The lysyl residues, or Lp, are what attracts the cholesterol (a) to the arterial walls, which promote atherosclerotic plaques. The secret to cardio health is to introduce the essential amino acid lysine (1 gram a day) to counteract the lysyl residues (Lp) from forming and even eliminate plaque deposits. About 1 gram of lysine and 4-5 grams of vitamin C each day was professed to be a “cure” for Occlusive Cardiovascular Disease by Dr. Linus Pauling back in 1994. To this day it is still undisputed.

If you suffer from:

  • Angina pain
  • Poor skin tone
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Poor circulation
  • Atherosclerotic blockages
  • Irregular heart beat
  • Abnormal cholesterol profiles
  • Low metabolic energy
  • General ill health

Then this natural remedy therapy can help your body’s innate healing processes actually grow new blood vessels to better feed your heart.

By balancing a “targeted diet” with specific “food-support” supplements and mild exercise, you can remove your name right off your doctor’s heart patient list in as little as 10 days to several months. It is not the time it takes that matters but rather the good news that you do NOT have to be a victim of misguided medical therapies or procedures. Modern medicine often seems impotent because it forgets your body is capable of healing when the “right nutrients” are provided in the “correct amounts.”

Dr. Pauling pointed out in his book, “How To Live Longer And Feel Better,” that doctors are taught that prescribing the right dosage of a drug is paramount, yet he questions why they have difficulty comprehending the same idea works for vitamins and other nutrients as well.

There are many reputable studies that confirm Dr. Pauling’s heart disease “cure” and frankly, that’s why it still stands unchallenged to this day. For instance, Harvard did a 15-year study involving more than 80,000 people that proved a single vitamin C pill reduced heart disease by nearly 30%.

There is a new science that uses photos of the eye to reveal the health condition of your heart. These retinal photographs (CardioRetinometry for testing cardiovascular disease) also prove that Pauling’s discovery reverses the damage caused by chronic vitamin C deficiency. In truth, your eye becomes your own crystal ball that doctors can peer into the future through. The truth is true; YOU can improve the future of your heart health using common sense and cutting edge natural remedies.

A study done with vitamin C and rats at the University of Calabar confirmed that using vitamin C can lower cholesterol levels, and recommended a possible benefit for both hypertension and atherosclerosis. (Niger J Physiol Sci. 2006 Jun-Dec;21(1-2):15-9) Another study done at the Nagoya City Johoku Hospital, in Nagoya, Japan concluded vitamin C is useful for controlling blood pressure in elderly patients with refractory hypertension. (Arzneimittelforschung. 2006;56(7):535-40)

The list of scientific evidence goes on and on . . .

I also found a large European study (of 20,649 men) suggesting vitamin C may reduce the risk of stroke by 42%. These findings are important for several reasons, two of which being that blood levels of vitamin C make an excellent biomarker for doctors to determine stroke risk factors and also and that increasing vitamin C-rich foods may significantly reduce stroke risks. (P.K. Myint, R.N. Luben, A.A. Welch, S.A. Bingham, N.J. Wareham, and KT. Khaw; American Journal of Clinical Nutrition January 2008, Volume 87, Pages 64-69)

According to Dr. Pauling’s findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, chronically low levels of vitamin C eventually result in atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. The optimum daily dose is 4,500 mg of real vitamin C.

The human body cannot make its own vitamin C, and eating enough foods containing vitamin C would be nearly impossible, unless you’re a gorilla and can eat 50 pounds of fruits and vegetables per day. That’s why I suggest using a “food-support supplement” which is made from RAW whole food sources.

In closing, I feel very excited about the direction the new science of “cellular health” is taking us. Every medical category of disease and medical literature verifies the truth about food as a superior medicine for your cells. It is now common scientific knowledge among leading researchers that your cells use “food based nutrients” to prevent infections and support anabolic (healing) processes.

We are on the edge of the biggest, most miraculous medical discoveries mankind has ever witnessed. Revealing the once hidden connections between mind, body and environment is the new frontier, which offers us the capacity to transform our lives and the world as we know it.

You were born to heal!!!

Did you know the blood plasma within your bones generates miraculous cells called stem cells? These cells can become any cell your body needs to repair and grow. We now know that vitamin C transforms stem cells into new heart muscle cells.

Dr. Linus Pauling is known as the Father of Orthomolecular Medicine. Ortho means “right,” so eating the “right” foods will provide you with the “right” living molecules for the healthiest stem cells. Healthy stem cells mean healthy tissue, healthy organs and a healthier you!
