Treating Heart Problems Naturally

Dear Readers,

Heart problems are the major cause of death in the US. Although medications and surgery get most of the attention for treating heart problems, natural therapies can be highly effective.

There are several key types of heart problems. The major ones are:

1. Angina and heart attacks.

2. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) caused by heart muscle weakness and manifesting as ankle swelling and shortness of breath on laying flat or exertion. Many researchers suspect a component of this is also occurring in CFS and Fibromyalgia.

3. Heart valve problems.

4. Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

For all four of these problems, but especially no. 2, both research and clinical experience has shown that several key natural treatments can improve heart muscle efficiency and improve symptoms. Unfortunately, most physicians are not aware of these studies because natural remedies are inexpensive and often cannot be patented. But you can use these treatments safely to feel much better in 6 weeks!

There is often controversy over whether an illness is "real vs. in the mind". This argument is meaningless (except to insurance companies, who reimburse less for "psychological" illnesses). Below are some recent (and older) studies showing that metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, strokes and even heart attacks are associated with depression, increased hostility and bipolar disorder. Does that now make heart attacks, osteoporosis and strokes psychological problems?

Of course not. It's time we abandon the usually meaningless distinction between "psychological and real" illnesses. They are virtually all a mix of both—and quite real and problematic for those suffering with them. When we realize this, it also makes treatment simpler and more effective.
