Heart Attack (Episode) & Stroke (Prone to)

Introduction:

Causes for these alarming episodes include high blood pressure, thrombosis, or blood clots, platelet aggregation (or sticky blood), calcium or fatty deposits and high cholesterol levels. [Calcium, magnesium and potassium need to be available in the correct ratios in the blood].

If a minor stroke or heart attack has made you realize you have a problem which you were not aware of earlier, now is the time to act quickly and change your life before more life threatening occurrences take place.

Nutritional Advice:

Eat plenty of the following (organic) fruits: cherries, currants, lemons, oranges, mandarins, plums, apples, figs, grapefruit, melons, nectarines, peaches, prunes, pears, rhubarb and pineapple. Eat their skins, (avoiding however, the skin of grapefruit, melon and pineapple). Occasionally eat the inner pith of some of some of these. This will help to build up the vein walls.

Natural Healing:

If you smoke then STOP.

Good food, exercise and a generally good lifestyle are essential (see angina for dietary and exercise information).

Doctors often prescribe aspirin for people who have had a stroke because it helps to thin the blood and it prevents blood stickiness and clotting. Short term and long term this can of course be effective.
