Michigan Today — Home And Health Care

Foreclosure Prevention Institute, LLC - Relieve Your Stress

Usually I write about how one can obtain a loan modification, but with all the stress in this economy I have turned inward to educating myself on how to improve one’s health. I am a teacher, and the Michigan legislature is about to slash my healthcare if President O’bama doesn’t do it first. If there is no reform with healthcare, I still am endangered in losing my cadillac insurance since premiums will probably start climbing and will be out of my reach once I retire if not sooner. Many of my friends in the private sector have no health insurance. I view insurance as being needed when one is injured or contracts a serious illness, but not for example using it to cover the common cold or for regular health check-ups.

Having awakened from this insane economic nightmare and heated discussion on healthcare, I no longer laugh at my friends who are into the health foods for nutrition and to treat their ailments. As of today, I am in charge of my own health. It disgusts me that I have let my body go — heck I cannot even touch my toes…but that is about to change. I have watched two teachers and my own husband recover from some serious health problems. They also loss weight in the process which is also encouraging for my situation. My doctor told me that I needed to lose weight. If I don’t watch-out, I could become one of the “biggest losers.” It’s amazing how the pounds creep on over the years. Anyway, like the tea parties, people are being informed and told not by their doctors, but by the health food nutritionists that the secret to improving one’s health and to eradicating cardiovascular disease(s) involves the taking of vitamins. 

This week I attended a meeting on high blood pressure and the question posed was, “Why don’t animals get heart attacks?” In a nutshell, it is because animals produce Vitamin C which protects their blood vessel walls. People don’t and over the years people become deficient in vitamins such as Vitamin C. Processed foods and the depletion of minerals and vitamins in our food source have contributed to the largest epidemic ever — cardiovascular disease. Remember, when you read in your history books about sailors who sailed across the oceans and died of Scurvy? This was due to a vitamin C deficiency — they, in effect, internally bled to death. Heart attacks and strokes are not actually diseases, but are caused by chronic vitamin deficiencies. Thus, if you eat right and supplement your diet with vitamins especially Vitamin C, you will prevent a disabling heart attack or stroke. Amazing isn’t it? You can reverse coronary artery disease cheaply and naturally.

Think about this — Why is the government so bent on getting into the healthcare business? It is big business; and like the banking industry and the oil cartels, the pharmaceutical companies generate billions of dollars. On the whole, conventional medicine treats the symptoms, but usually doesn’t address the underlying cause or problem. We like quick fixes, and the doctors profit by pushing all sorts of drugs. Look at all the ads for lowering cholesterol! Do these drugs prevent heart attacks and strokes? The answer is a resounding no. Ever read or listen to all the side effects of these drugs? Why in the world would anyone want to take these drugs? We have been brain-washed. Many people who read this article will scoff at this just like one of the men in the audience did during my healthcare meeting. If you want a good reference book, get the book Why Animals Don’t Get Heart Attacks .. But People Do! by Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D.. He is a doctor, not me. I leave you with one other bit of information, like anything else, taking vitamins and nutritional supplements requires knowing how much and which are the best ones to take. A synergetic balance is needed and is probably best monitorred by consulting a doctor or professional. My husband immediately threw out all of his drugs and in effect fired his doctor, but I don’t suggest that. It will take several months to regain your health and during this time your body will be in a transitional state.

P.S. God gave us plants and herbs to heal us.
