  • Heart Health
    Don’t Let Your Heart Fail You Facts and Myths About Preventing Heart Disease According to Dr. Bruce Halstead, a world-famous medi- cal doctor and medical research scientist, it takes twenty years for current medical research to filter down through the medical system and become the standard practice of medical doctors. This certainly seems true with heart disease prevention where decades old misconceptions abound. Here are some widely believed concepts that are out-of-date with current medical research. Many people believe that eating red meat, butter, eggs and other foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol will increase their risk of heart disease. This is because of the false belief that hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) is caused by high cholesterol. Most people also believe way. health the natural better guide to Your that eating too much salt will cause high blood pressure. In this issue of Sunshine Sharing we’ll explain why these widely-known “facts” aren’t accurate and discuss what more recent research is saying about heart disease. We’ll also talk about some of the drugs commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of heart disease and their more natural alternatives. But, before we begin correcting some of these misconceptions, let’s briefly talk about some of things you can do naturally to support and protect the health of your heart. Supporting Your Heart Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in old age, so it’s a good idea for people in their 50s and 60s to think about doing some simple things to reduce their risk of heart 2 No.

Every 40 seconds someone somewhere in the U.S. dies from heart disease. 1 1/26/2017 Heart disease Heart disease (which includes Heart Disease, Stroke and other Cardiovascular Diseases) is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, killing nearly 787,000 people alone in 2011- about 1 of every 3 deaths in America Heart disease is the leading cause of death for people of most racial/ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanics and Whites.

  • “Fire in the Heart”: New Developments in Diagnosis, Prevention & Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease
    Chapter 4 “Fire in the Heart”: New Developments in Diagnosis, Prevention & Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease Stephen Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.N., C.N.S., C.B.T., & Graham Simpson, M.D. ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to discuss the integration of conventional cardiology and alternative cardiology. The world of cardiology is moving fast and in multiple directions. In this paper we will discuss the importance of inflammation and how nutraceuticals can be used in the fight against cardiovascular disease. Keywords: inflammation; insulin; detoxification; nutraceuticals; omega fatty acids; CoEnzyme Q10 INTRODUCTION Most of us have some idea of what inflammation is. If a wound gets hot, turns red, hurts, and swells, we recognize that inflammation is at work. In this instance, inflammation is a beneficial process, serving to immobilize and rest the area of injury as the rest of the immune system mobilizes to heal. Regardless of the source of assault on our bodies, inflammation is the “first alert” mechanism that calls into action the cells responsible for surveillance and protection, heralding them to go to work and limit the damage. These cells attack and destroy the invaders, and clean up the damaged cells, repairing and clearing as they go until a healthy state is restored. As such, inflammation is your body’s first line of defense against injury or infection. Researchers now recognize another kind of inflammation: silent inflammation, or SI, which is very different from the type of inflammation described above. This type of internal inflammation has an insidious nature and is the culprit behind the many chronic diseases that are primarily caused by poor lifestyle habits and environmental pollutants.

    High Vibrational Living The Segue to Optimum Health Vermont,2018 Part 1 Stephen Sinatra, MD, FACC, FACN Financial Disclosure: Receives support from Healthy Directions and is a shareholder in Vervana LLC. Presentation Objectives ▪ Learn how optimal nutrition provides the basic foundation for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. ▪ Discuss some of the most popular nutritional trials demonstrating significant efficacy in coronary heart disease prevention. ▪ Discover why olive oil is the secret sauce of the Mediterranean Diet. ▪ Learn the beneficial effects of grounding on the human body. We live in an electrical universe where everything is interconnected! Pathology or disease is frequently an electrical malfunction (example – ventricular PVCs and meridians) and vibrational medicine is often the solution! Vibration Everything from mineral-enriched soils and rocks - to trees and plants - to animals and humans - have a vibration in their structure and being. *Sitting in a movie theater, cocktail party, dinner, or any event Vibration The goal is to enhance the vibration of cellular activity to support aliveness, creativity and health while diminishing stagnation and pathology at the same time. In the anti-aging movement, a higher vibration translates to 70 becoming the new 50. Micro-voltage of cells is the key (pulsation) – cancer↓, health ↑, love ↑ ↑. Cardiac Disease Energetic Considerations ▪ 4th Chakra is in heart & lung area ▪ Heartbreak and Heart Disease ▪ Loss of love – unconditional love – cardiac risk ▪ The healing power of love ▪ Pets The Paradigm of Vibrational Medicine ▪ All humans are conglomerations of electromagnetic energy ▪ Every cell transmits and receives energy ▪ Harmonious vs non-harmonious frequencies support or threaten healing ▪ Heart, brain and reproductive organs are most vulnerable to toxic frequencies ▪ Future of the healing arts is the application of positive vibrational energy → vital force Vibration – The Precursor to Vital Force ▪ Vital force is our vital energy.
