About heart disease

A. The cause of all heart problems is an incorrect diet, and therefore the treatment of heart disease can only be dietary. According to the authoritative statement of Dr. N.V. Walker, the starch molecule is insoluble in water, alcohol, or ether. When eating bread, potatoes, rice and other foods containing starch, the blood becomes clogged with starch molecules. The heart is healthy when it pumps clean blood, but when the blood is clogged, it is very difficult for the heart to pump such blood. The most rational way to treat all heart diseases is raw vegetarian diet and copious consumption of raw vegetable juices. All starches, dairy products and sugar should be completely eliminated from the diet.

B. For microscopically small relief of heart pain, Russian healers from ancient times advised heart patients to drink violet flower tea. You need to drink it long and hard, many times a day.

B. In the archives of the author of this manual there are still several remedies for heart disease, including treatment foxglove (digitalis). Doctors official medicine They have been using foxglove for no more than sixty years and adopted this method of treatment from healers who have been using this herb for heart patients for many centuries. However, digitalis does not cure heart disease, but only provides relief. It should be noted that informing the average person about all the rules for treating digitalis is very dangerous. Many patients with “heart disease” die every day from heart attacks. Let's imagine that the author would describe in his medical book all the rules for using digitalis. Many patients, diligently and intensively using digitalis, would delay death for several months, but still would not avoid a fatal heart attack.

For heart diseases, the Bulgarian healer Vanga advises: drink the decoction four times a year for four days chokeberry flowers. And when the heartbeat is on nervous soil: grate 0.5 kg lemons, mix them with 0.5 kg honey and 20 crushed apricot kernels. Take one tablespoon in the morning and evening on an empty stomach.

Heart failure is a pathology characterized by disruption of the normal functioning of the heart. Its cycle of work begins with the intake of blood into the ventricle, after which it enters an artery or vein. The ventricle constantly pushes out blood through contraction, which ensures normal blood supply. In heart failure, the ventricle stops contracting or, conversely, becomes full. This creates excess pressure in the muscle organ. The main cause of heart failure is myocardial overwork, which disrupts oxygen circulation and useful substances, which can lead to blood stagnation.

A disease like chronic failure heart disease most often occurs suddenly, but with timely treatment or prevention, the pathology disappears, and the person tolerates physical activity much easier.

If signs of illness are ignored, serious complications, accompanying illnesses And pathological changes of cardio-vascular system. This disease is considered more common in frequency of occurrence than infectious diseases. Chronic heart failure affects 3% of the world's population and in most cases people aged 65 years.

• stagnation of blood in the pulmonary circulation;
• frequent shortness of breath or suffocation;
• hemoptysis;
• myocardial infarction;
• development of hypertension;
