HEART ATTACK

How to Survive a Heart Attack When You Are Alone




Heart attacks are the type of condition that comes without an announcement, so many people get struck with it when they are alone and have to struggle without any help. If you suddenly feel that you are about to faint and that your heart beats “wrong”, you have just approximately 10 seconds before you lose your consciousness. But people actually do not know that they can help themselves. To achieve this, the most important thing is not to lose the consciousness – start coughing, as hard as you can and not to panic. - 

Take a deep breath every time before you cough. Cough long and deeply enough, as if you were trying to get rid of something from your lungs. 

Cough and breathe every 2 seconds, without taking breaks, until the doctors can reach you, or until your heart beats return to normal. Coughing is a sort of compression,and deep breaths allow the oxygen to enter in your lungs.

This helps your blood flow and heart to function normally. This kind of pressure helps your heart balance its rhythm. This is the perfect way to avoid any further damage, at least until the doctor comes. So share this knowledge with as many people as you can, as you might save someone’s life. Cardiologists guarantee that at least one life can be saved,if only one person shares this information with 10 people.

What happens during HEART ATTACK ?

The heart muscle requires a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to nourish it. 

The coronary arteries provide the heart with this critical blood supply. If you have coronary artery disease, those arteries become narrow and blood cannot flow as well as they should.

 Fatty matter,calcium, proteins, and inflammatory cells build up within the arteries to form plaques of different sizes. The plaque deposits are hard on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside.When the plaque is hard, the outer shell cracks (plaque rupture), platelets (disc-shaped particles in the blood that aid clotting) come to the area, and blood clots form around the plaque.

 If a blood clot totally blocks the artery, the heart muscle becomes "starved" for oxygen. Within a short time, death of heart muscle cells occurs, causing permanent damage. This is a heart attack

While it is unusual, a heart attack can also be caused by a spasm of a coronary artery. During a coronary spasm, the coronary arteries restrict or spasm on and off, reducing blood supply to the heart muscle (ischemia). It may occur at rest, and can even occur in people without significant coronary artery disease.

Each coronary artery supplies blood to a region of heart muscle. The amount of damage to the heart muscle depends on the size of the area supplied by the blocked artery and the time between injury and treatment.

Healing of the heart muscle begins soon after a heart attack and takes about eight weeks. Just like a skin wound, the heart's wound heals and a scar will form in the damaged area. But, the new scar tissue does not contract. So, the heart's pumping ability is lessened after a heart attack. The amount of lost pumping ability depends on the size and location of the scar.

GOUT ..HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Gout is a complex form of arthritis.. it can affect all ages. Men are more likely to effect by gout, but women also increasingly susceptible to gout after menopause.

The first attack of gout can occur suddenly, often waking up in the middle of the night with the sensation of great burning in big toe. The gout affected joint is hot, swollen and tender, even the weight of the sheet is intolerable.
Gout is a treatable disease, and there are treatments to prevent the recurrence.

The signs and symptoms of gout

Extreme joint pain:

 Gout usually affects the large joint of big toe, but it can occur in  other joints like feet, ankles, knees, hands and wrists. The pain is most severe within the first four to 12 hours.

Persistent discomfort: 

After the first attack pain subsides, some joint discomfort may last for few days. Later attacks more joints.

Inflammation and redness:

The affected joint or joints become red,swollen, tender and warm.

Restricted Joint motion: 

Decreased in joint mobility may occur in gout.

Gout can be diagnosed by signs and symptoms confirmed by increased uric acid levels in blood.

Factors that increase the uric acid level in  body are:

* Diet

 Eating diet high in meat and seafood and beverages sweetened with fruit sugar increases higher levels of uric acid, which is a risk factor for gout. Alcohol consumption, especially of beer increases the risk of gout.

* Obesity: 

favours the production of more uric acid by producing more stress on kidney which is a great risk factor for gout.

*  Medical conditions: 

 high blood pressure and chronic conditions such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart and kidney diseases favour the formation of uric acid.
Some medications:  Like Thiazide diuretics used to treat hypertension  and low-dose aspirin can increase uric acid levels.
* Family history of gout: Can provoke the gout forming tendency.
* Age and sex: Gout occurs more in men than women. But postmenopausal women may affect with gout as like men.
* Recent surgery or trauma.
 Trauma, injuries are precipitating factors for gout.

People with gout can develop more-severe conditions.If left untreated, gout can cause erosion or destruction of a joint.Untreated gout cause deposits of urate crystals to form in nodules under the skin called tophi (TOE-fie). Tophi can develop in fingers, hands, feet, elbows or Achilles tendons on  backs of ankles.

Homeopathy can provide relief during painful attacks of gouty joint pain and inflammation, and also may help to reduce the recurrence of gout disease without side effects.

Homeopathy is a form of medicine  which stimulates the body’s immune system to cure gout disease itself without side effects. It is totally opposite to allopathic chemical supressive treatment for gout disease.

Treatment of gout in Homeopathy involves giving constitutional remedies that are natural remedies for gout. Homeopathy reduce the uric acid levels.
Gout Homeopathic treatment involves selection of Homeopathic remedies according to the constitutional symptoms of the patient, not only based on the gout clinical symptoms, but lifestyle, mental and emotional state associated with gout, stress levels, diet, family history and other general factors in order to prescribe best Homeopathic remedy for gout. Homeopathic treatments are highly individualized. Two people with symptoms of gout arthritis are treated as constitutionally two distinct individuals. Treatment for gout should also include avoiding seasoned and fermented foods like pickles and  cold storage foods, dietary and lifestyle changes are recommended along with vitamin and herbal supplements.

FASTING and the IMMUNE SYSTEM

SALAM RAMADHAN DEAR READERS.......

White blood cells (right) help immune response, and they can be recycled through fasting, the study showed

The immune system is something that is highly misunderstood not just by everyday people but also by the many conventional doctors who we depend on for health advice.

Most people resort to things like synthetic vitamins and medicines (ignoring better natural alternatives) to deal with colds and improve immunity, but the cycle of sickness always seems to continue.

For people with compromised immune systems, there are many natural options, and now researchers have discovered what could well be one of the best ways to reset and recharge your immune system; one that happens to be free and is believed to work even in the elderly as well.

According to researchers at the University of Southern California, the act of fasting for as little as three days can regenerate the entire immune system, even in elderly people.

The researchers said that fasting helps the body’s stem cells to begin producing new white blood cells, which help to fight off infection.

They added that the discovery could be especially effective for people suffering from damaged immune systems, including chemotherapy patients, who were protected from the toxic impacts of the treatment during the fasting period (note: we personally don’t recommend chemotherapy; consult a holistic doctor for more information).

FLIPPING A REGENERATIVE SWITCH

As the researchers noted, the act of fasting for as little as three days can regenerate the entire immune system, even in elderly people.

“Fasting gives the ‘OK’ for stem cells to go ahead and begin proliferating and rebuild the entire system,” Prof. Valter Longo, Professor of Gerontology and the Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California, told the UK’s The Telegraph.

He added that the body actually removed parts that were damaged, old or inefficient during the fasting process,creating “literally, a new immune system.”

According to Dr. Longo a person’s system recycles unneeded immune cells, especially damaged ones, in order to create energy while they are fasting.

Over the course of his study’s trials, participants were asked to regularly fast between 2-4 days over a 6 month period.

The study was released in June and Dr. Longo said that clinical trials must still be completed, but added that the research looks “very promising.”

MEDICINES IN OLIVE OIL part 1

The health benefits of olive oil are unrivaled, and research reveals more benefits nearly every day. In fact, we are only just beginning to understand the countless ways olive oil can improve our health, and our lives.

Olive oil is the cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet — an essential nutritional mainstay for the world’s longest-living cultures. Many of the health-promoting effects of the Mediterranean diet have been attributed to olive oil consumption.

Replacing butter and other less healthy fats with olive oil has been shown to aid in the prevention of a myriad of diseases and counter effects of aging. 

One prominent cardiologist recommends at least two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil each day to enjoy the many ways olive oil can be beneficial to your health and well being.

Olive oil benefits are so extensive that it is considered a functional food with components that contribute to its overall therapeutic qualities including a reduction of risk factors of coronary heart disease, the prevention of cancers, and alterations of immune and inflammatory responses.

 It IS naturally free of cholesterol, trans fat, salt, sugar, and gluten.In addition, olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat (that’s the good kind).

 It  helps protect against heart disease, aids in digestion, and has been 

known to promote healthy aging.

SOME DISEASES OLIVE OIL HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE EFFECTIVE AGAINSt...

* CANCER   

The phytonutrient in olive oil, oleocanthal ,mimics the effect of ibuprofen in reducing inflammation, which can decrease the risk of breast cancer and its recurrence. Squalene and lignans are among the other olive oil components being studied for their possible effects on cancer.

* HEART DISEASE

Olive oil lowers the levels of total blood cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. At the same time it does not alter the levels of HDL-cholesterol (and may even raise them), which plays a protective role and prevents the formation of fatty patches, thus stimulating the elimination of the low-density lipoproteins.

Olive oil is one of the healthiest types of fat around. The monounsaturated fat in olive oil has been shown to control LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. This can potentially lower your risk of heart disease. 

When you digest your food, free radicals that are naturally produced by the body can damage the cells. Free radicals from environmental factors such as dust, smog, cigarette smoke and pesticides don't help the situation. The antioxidants contained in olive oil can help fight off and repair some of the damage that free radicals can cause.

Recent studies indicate that regular consumption of olive oil can help decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure ( high blood pressure).

To get the best heart-healthy results from olive oil, the U.S Food and Drug Administration recommends eating two tablespoons daily.

* OXIDATIVE STRESS

Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin E, long thought to minimize cancer risk. Among plant oils, olive oil is the highest in monounsaturated fat, which does not oxidize in the body, and it is low in polyunsaturated fat, the kind that does oxidize.

When you digest your food, free radicals that are naturally produced by the body can damage the cells. Free radicals from environmental factors such as dust, smog, cigarette smoke and pesticides don't help the situation. The antioxidants contained in olive oil can help fight off and repair some of the damage that free radicals can cause.

* DIABETES

It has been demonstrated that a diet that is rich in olive oil, low in saturated fats, moderately rich in carbohydrates and soluble fiber from fruit, vegetables, pulses and grains is the most effective approach for diabetics. It helps lower “bad” low-density lipoproteins while improving blood sugar control and enhances insulin sensitivity.

* OBESITY

Although high in calories, olive oil has shown to help reduce levels of obesity.

* RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Although the reasons are still not fully clear, recent studies have proved that people with diets containing high levels of olive oil are less likely to develop rheumatiod arthritis.

* OSTEOPOROSIS

A high consumption of olive oil appears to improve bone mineralization and calcification. It helps calcium absorption and so plays an important role in aiding sufferers and in preventing the onset of Osteoporosis.

* STROKES

Older individuals who consume olive oil daily may be able to protect themselves from a stroke, according to a new study from France published in the online issue of Neurology.

* Skin and Hair

The antioxidants contained in olive oil can benefit more than your heart. Because this substance prevents cell destruction, it fights the signs of aging and gives you a more youthful appearance. When applied topically, olive oil moisturizes and softens dry skin. Since the product is natural, adverse reactions are not common.

The problem with a lot of commercial skincare products is that the moisturizing ingredients don't penetrate the skin. Extra virgin olive oil is composed of more than 80 percent oleic acid. This substance easily penetrates the skin, and allows the oil to heal damage, reduce wrinkles and improve texture.

If you struggle with dry, brittle hair, keeping a bottle of olive oil handy can help. A weekly deep conditioner of olive oil can be used in the place of products that contain silicone ingredients to make the hair more manageable. Shampoos that contain sulfates will strip the moisture out of your hair and make it look drab and lifeless. Using olive oil in the place of your regular commercial conditioners can moisturize the hair and give it a healthy sheen.
