I was surprised today?by one of the staff members in our office when she told me about her grandfather's recent visit to his cardiologist.? He went into the heart doctor's office to have his exam for what had been diagnosed as congestive heart failure.? The doctor did his evaluation and EKG and gave him a puzzled look and asked him what he was doing differently.? Her grandmother asked "Why do you ask?"? The doctor replied that all the signs of congestive heart failure were gone and his heart was healthier than it had been in the past several years.? Her grandmother couldn't help but be thrilled that what looked like misfortune had turned into a major victory for her and her husband.? She told the cardiologist that her husband had started taking supplements for his "overall health and well-being."? The treatment he received was the result of?my work with him.? It included CoQ10, fish oils, arginine (an amino acid) and some vitamin therapies.? The funny thing was that we were treating him to enhance his health, not to improve his heart disease exam.? The reality is that you can't help one system without affecting all of them.? When natural non-toxic treatments are used all of the systems can benefit together.
Her grandpa had been sick in the hospital with a reaction to antibiotics and had some trouble thinking clearly after the episode.? He came to see?me at the Center for Hope and Healing to make sure that his nutrition wasn't preventing him from rapidly regaining his keen wit and sense of humor.? He had always been "really sharp" and seemed to have lost some of his enthusiasm and most of his "edge."? I asked him to complete the Better Body Brighter Mind System so?I could speed up his evaluation process and it showed some interesting things.? Mostly, he needed major changes in his diet and strong supplementation to reverse deteriorating health signals.? He faithfully followed our recommendations and followed up with his cardiologist to make sure his "ticker" was keeping up with the rest of him.? Then I got the great news that not only was his mental edge restored but we got a bonus of reversal of his heart failure.? I can't be sure exactly which nutrient or dietary change made the difference but it doesn't really matter to a man who has been given a new lease on life.? (After the diagnosis of congestive heart failure the average person will be dead within two years.? When that heart failure is reversed the average person returns to the regular herd and is likely to live as long as anyone else at his age.)? This is the kind of thing that makes my job a true joy!
If you ever wonder whether or not it is worth the effort to eat well and take your supplements and sleep when you're tired, Don't!? This is one of thousands of cases that show me that we don't need to wait for peer-reviewed literature to make good common-sense decisions about our health.? Take great care of yourself and you'll do the insurance company a big favor by never using your benefits!? Blessings to all!
