Did you know that before it was packaged as "vitamin D," it was sold as a rat poison by the name of "Quintox?"
One of the worst supplements for controlling blood pressure is vitamin D, in pill form. Made as a copycat of Mother Nature, this synthetic impostor weakens the heart via a process known as calcification, which causes gelatinous muscle fibers to become stiff and rigid. And since the heart muscle is most susceptible to the hardening, heart failure can ensue over time when you take this chemical impostor via a multivitamin or prenatal.
In contrast, if obtained by the sun, "nutritive D" can be an asset to cardiovascular health by lowering inflammation. Fortunately, when made by our skin, we have innate protective mechanisms that prevent the negative outcomes that come with synthetic D.
For those who live in cooler climates and suffer from a seasonal sunshine deficit, a truly natural cod liver oil can serve as a potent replacement. And to ward off illness, use the natural antibiotic known as andrographis, as outlined in my book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures.
Coq10 is another hyped pill for alleged heart health. But it’s only effective in its natural form. It is easily obtained from meat, poultry and fish and is helpful at increasing and preserving heart health. Outside of its natural context, it is expensive and lacks the many nutritional buffers that accompany it in nature, making it inferior to its natural counterpart.
Vitamin C is important for cardiovascular health, but it can easily be obtained from citrus fruits, rather than vitamin C pills sold as pharmaceutical grade ascorbic acid. In fact, it was a mere two teaspoons that cured sailors from the historical scourge of scurvy. The same can help preserve the arterial walls to ensure that they are able to dilate and contract as needed to accommodate blood flow.
Resveratrol is another heart buster promoted as a heart booster. Not a single human clinical trial substantiates resveratrol longevity claims! In fact, some studies are showing resveratrol acts like a biological grenade, exploding and destroying a variety of healthy cells internally once consumed – when isolated from its from its evolutionary, whole food context.
Just last year, Molecular Nutrition and Food Research concluded that, “Resveratrol, a polyphenol derived from red grapes, berries, and peanuts, has been shown to mediate death of a wide variety of cells. The mechanisms by which resveratrol mediates cell death include necrosis, apoptosis, autophagy, and others. While most studies suggest that resveratrol kills tumor cells selectively, evidence is emerging that certain normal cells such as endothelial cells, lymphocytes, and chondrocytes are vulnerable to resveratrol.”
The absolute most dangerous heart pills today are beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and ace-inhibitors. In times of emergency, these have been an asset to human health. But they are not to be used daily, as vitamins so to speak, otherwise, risks outweigh benefits really fast.
Habitual use of heart medications can lead to obesity, lethargy, insulin resistance, Type II diabetes and even cancer, which is why natural medicine should be the first line of defense. To increase quality of life and longevity, I advocate avoiding meds at all cost.
80 percent of all health trouble would go away if people would stop eating enriched wheat flour, white flour, white sugar, artificial sweetners and artificial syrups.
When you eat a mcdonalds big mac, the carbohydrate from the bread turns to fat, not the meat from the hamburger. When you eat a Dorito, the carbohydrate from the dorito turns to fat, not the fat from the dorito.
It's not always true that a calorie is just a calorie. Some people on low carbohydrate diets can actually eat more food then before and lose weight because the body isn't producing hormones that turn to fat. Two twins eating 4 thousand calories a day and if one of the twins is eating a majority of those calories from sugar, enriched wheat flour, he would be significantly bigger then his
twin even if eating the same number of calories.
