"He supports this statement by citing a number of studies that show, as did Blumenthal's, that physical conditions of anger and tension can lead to problems that include high blood pressure; headaches; lowered immunity; stomach problems; and, finally, heart attacks. What Blumenthal's study showed was that teaching people to "tone down" their emotional responses to life situations could prevent heart attacks. This is precisely the point of healing our hurt—specifically, what we believe to be true about the things that have hurt us." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Without removing the underlying causes of heart disease and its precursors, the average person has little, if any, protection against it. heart attacks can strike whether you have undergone a coronary bypass or had stents placed inside your arteries. According to research, these procedures fail to prevent heart attacks and do nothing to reduce mortality rates. Heart Disease No More, excerpted from the author's bestselling book, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation, puts the responsibility for healing where it belongs, on the heart, mind, and body of each individual." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"They had seemingly succumbed to sudden and unforeseen heart attacks. But the major ity of answers they gave were based in their life-situations, not their medical histories. Typical responses were, "I couldn't stand to see my boss's face one more day" or, "I feel trapped in my marriage. I can't abide being with my wife" or, "My kids fight constantly. I would do anything to get away from their constant bickering." Their heart attacks had resulted in them getting away from the conditions that were intolerable to them—at the cost of their health." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"An apparent paradox is the fact that although the native Inuit people get an enormous amount of fat in their diet from fish, whales, and seals, they do not suffer a correspondingly high rate of heart attacks. At least part of the reason for this phenomenon is that they consume high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the blood's tendency to coagulate and form clots while simultaneously optimizing blood cholesterol and lipid levels, all important benefits in the context of diabetes." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"In fact, the people with the longest life expectancy and fewest heart attacks have diets low in olive oil but high in plant foods. We do need to keep in mind that there are very few studies on the topic at this moment, so we can only make a suggestive warning rather than a definitive statement about the adverse affect of olive oil on cardiovascular health. One study reported in the March 27 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that eating olive oil can lower high blood pressure." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Numerous studies show that when people increase their intake of dark meat/cold-water fish, they have fewer heart attacks and strokes and fewer deaths from these causes. The omega-3 fats in these fish have always gotten credit for this improved health outcome, but these same dietary sources are also high in vitamin D. Vitamin D, Inflammation, and the Metabolic Syndrome Our understanding of cardiovascular disease has recently shifted from a simple focus on lipids to a focus on inflammation." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "They also decrease production of inflammatory substances that accelerate damage to your blood vessels and lead to heart attacks and strokes and that aggravate inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The amount of protein you eat determines how much produce you need to eat. The American Dietetic Association lists protein requirements at 0.8 gram per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 gram per pound of body weight. Research reviewed by Dr." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Numerous studies also point to a greater likelihood of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes if you eat a diet low in omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium. SHARON'S WEIGHT GAIN AND PAIN When Sharon, forty-five, came to see me, she told me that she'd had three years of pain and stiffness in her knees, shoulders, and hands. One doctor had told her she had osteoarthritis in her knees and treated her with several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, but since she had stopped taking Vioxx, her pain had increased." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "These changes also translate into a 50 percent lower risk of heart attacks and strokes. 10 The Vitamin D Cure for Mood and Memory V itamin D goes to work at the moment of conception and doesn't quit until someone's writing your epitaph. The fact is, if you have enough D and combine it with a healthy diet and exercise, you'll probably have a sharp mind when you're in your nineties and beyond. Vitamin D has a great deal to do with how well your brain works throughout your life. It's extremely important because D is essential to proper brain function." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"In this study researchers used rats that were given either moderate heart attacks or chest surgery, and began treatment with propionyl-L-carnitine ten days following the MI (myocardial infarction) or surgery. They determined that carnitine administration (100 mg/kg/day) increased the level of total carnitine in both the blood serum and the heart muscle by 15 percent and 23 percent, respectively." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "Chapter 5 L- Carnitine: The Energy Shuttle One of the major advances in cardiovascular disease over the last two decades has been the reduction in the number of heart attacks, probably the result of tremendous efforts at public education and awareness, and successful efforts at risk factor modification. But during this same twenty-year period, deaths from heart failure have more than doubled. To look into this problem, 159 of our leading cardiologists met regularly for several years, and reported their findings." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "This study showed for the first time that treatment with coenzyme Qiq was associated with significant decline in total cardiac events, including nonfatal heart attacks and cardiac deaths, during the one-year of follow up. Total cardiac events at twenty-eight-days of follow up were also significantly lower in the coenzyme Qio group than in a group treated with B vitamins." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "A recently reported study conducted at the University of Minnesota showed the value of ribose in heart attacks. This study was conducted using an animal model because it was so invasive, but the results very clearly show the impact of ribose in protecting the heart following a myocardial infarction (heart attack). In this study, animals were given a heart attack by reducing the blood flow to a portion of the heart. They were then given ribose or a sugar placebo for two- to four weeks before the heart was studied." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"At the end of the study, the investigators concluded that prayer made no difference in mortality, future heart attacks, or the need for further intervention or hospitalization. Although there were small differences between the treated and untreated groups, particularly among the low-risk patients, these results were not deemed to be significant.7 To setde the matter once and for all, Herbert Benson came forward with an ambitious plan." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"We have been taught that eating fat increases our cholesterol and high cholesterol causes heart attacks. From this information we conclude that decreasing the fat in our diet would lead to fewer heart attacks. But while death from heart disease seems to be dropping, the number of people acquiring heart disease is not. The American Heart Association's own statistics show that between 1979 and 1996, medical procedures for heart disease increased from 1.2 million to 5.4 million a year." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"Halberg himself discovered a 5 percent increase in heart attacks in Minnesota during times of peak maximum solar activity.15 It is not surprising that biological systems like human beings are sensitive to external signals, such as geomagnetic disturbances. Magnetic fields are caused by the flow of electrons and atoms with charge, known as ions, and whenever magnetic forces change, they alter the direction of the flow of these atoms and particles." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Even though these foods are higher in calories and fats, their use is linked to lower risk of heart attacks and strokes. Keep lots of raw nuts, seeds, flaxseed, and avocados on hand because they are your preferred fatty food and should be used in salad dressings and other recipes. These foods are higher in calories, so if you are trying to lose weight it is helpful not to use more than half an avocado per day and limit the quantity of seeds and nuts to a one ounce serving per day for a female and less than two ounces (1/4 cup) a day for a male." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"In fact, people who have heart attacks have them most often in the morning. Ancient and modern thinkers recommend that you don't get up, take a shower, or have your coffee first thing. Take a little time for yourself—this has been scientifically shown to be one of the most important things you can do to put on a suit of armor against stress and have a great day." Many people wake up tense because they have been unable to sleep." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Other important substances include garlic (1,000 to 5,000 mg), onion (a raw onion a day helps keep strokes and heart attacks away), and L-carnitine (500 to 1,000 mg). L-carnitine increases energy by burning fat within the cell's mitochondria. This helps the body to recover quickly from fatigue." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Niacin (vitamin B3) has been shown to help prevent heart attacks. It also helps prevent people from dying from them. Mineral for the Heart_ Magnesium is the single most important mineral for the heart. Generally, people don't realize that a magnesium-deficient heart is almost always more susceptible to heart attack. This brings up the ever-important concept of the preventive approaches." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Capsaicin lowers blood pressure and cholesterol and prevents heart attacks and strokes. It is a natural blood thinner. However, it is not safe for everyone to take this herb, because for those taking certain medications, such as Coumadin (warfarin), there could be contraindications. So you have to ask your physician if any prescription drug you are taking may prohibit the use of cayenne. This is very important. Otherwise, cayenne, best known as the spice cayenne pepper, should definitely be used, but carefully, because it is very hot!" - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Numerous studies have shown that propranolol and aspirin are highly successful in reducing heart attacks. Aspirin in particular has been hailed as a great white hope of heart disease prevention. Nevertheless, large studies have shown that the effect size of propranolol is 0.04 and aspirin is 0.03, respectively ?or about ten times smaller than the effect sizes of the PEAR data. One method of determining the magnitude of effect sizes is to convert the figure to the number of persons surviving in a sample of 100 people. An effect size of 0." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"This can lead to an obstruction of blood vessels, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and stroke. As fat builds up in the liver and other organs, metabolism (conversion of food to energy) slows down, resulting in weight gain (especially in the belly) and unsightly cellulite deposits. Because a toxic liver is not filtering properly, it is unable to rid the bloodstream of undigested food particles that have arrived there via a leaky gut, giving rise to an autoimmune response." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "The EPA estimates that a proposed set of changes in diesel engine technology could result in 12,000 fewer premature mortalities, 15,000 fewer heart attacks, 6,000 fewer emergency room visits by children with asthma, and 8,900fewer respiratory-related hospital admissions each year in the United States. Not surprisingly, Los Angeles topped the American Lung Association's bad air 2007 list of most polluted cities in America. But there are signs of improvement: the number of days residents breathed the nation's worst ozone levels was fewer than in previous years." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Diets rich in legumes are associated with fewer heart attacks and less colon cancer. Legumes are a good dietary source of healthy flavonoids and fiber (which can reduce the risk of heart attack) and are also an excellent nonanimal source of protein." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Now this fellow has had cancer of the prostate and the neck, and two heart attacks, each followed by heart surgery and bypass grafts. Why wasn't he protected? Luck? Genes? Maybe stress. Remarkably, ten years after the last onslaught of these diseases, he is alive and active. I would conjecture his good health habits helped him recover. I know that it really helps me to have purpose to what I'm doing, to have a job and finish the job and have another job, and to enjoy that process. As I say, I am blessed." But the tone was not totally content this time." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Even the prayed-for-but-didn't-know-it group suffered slightly more heart attacks and strokes than those who had not been given prayer. Among the uninformed patients who had received prayers, 10 percent suffered major complications of the surgery, compared with 13 percent of those who did not receive prayer.10 Benson and his coauthors didn't know what to make of these results. They even wondered if the patients had suffered from a type of "performance anxiety" as a result of the undue pressure and expectations created by the prayers." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"There were 40 to 50 percent fewer heart attacks in menopausal women who used estrogen. Heart disease reduction continued up to seventy-one years of age. • Synthetic hormones increased breast cancer risk by 33 percent. • Consuming one to three drinks of alcohol increased the incidence of breast cancer by 30 percent. This increases further if consuming more than three drinks per day. Calcium supplements taken alone, without hormones, did not reduce bone fractures." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"In studies carried out in major hospitals in Holland and England, nearly one fourth of the patients who suffered serious but not fatal heart attacks gave evidence of having had some form of consciousness with distinct perceptions during the time their EEG was flat. Physicians Pirn van Lommel, Peter Fenwick, Sam Farnia, and B. Greyson have shown that the experiences recounted by the patients often correspond to what actually happened during the time they had zero brain function." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Even for people without a history of cardiovascular problems (the people for whom the NEJM VIGOR article reported no significant increase in the risk of heart attacks) taking Vioxx instead of naproxen almost doubled the risk of developing a serious cardiovascular complication (1.9 times the risk,p = .041). An FDA reviewer commented that the greater risk of cardiovascular problems in the people who took Vioxx "could lead one to conclude that naproxen ... would be the preferred drug" (FDA's underscore)." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
