Natural Remedies for Heart Disease: Q&A

SUPPLEMENTS FOR HEART DISEASE AND KIDNEY ISSUES
01/22/2013: K from Anonymous: "What things do you recommend my friend should be doing to help his kidney and heart disease?"

01/22/2013: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Heart disease is usually caused by high fat levels in the liver which goes to blood vessels and restricts circulation. It can also be negatively affected by a low immune system which makes the circulation restricted, as most pathogen build up is due to high blood glucose and fructose consumption This leads to high blood viscosity due to hemaglutin that is secreted by pathogens. A couple of remedies will help circulation. These include alkalization via baking soda, bromelain to break down blood clotting proteins produced by pathogens, and N acetyl cysteine which is precursor to glutathione. Zinc will eliminate pathogens, improving the circulation. These natural supplements will improve the circulation, helping the heart condition within a week. As to heart muscles, three things: B2 (a precursor of CoQ10), CoQ10, and vitamin E 200 iu a day, will help the most.

Kidney disease is actually caused by three things in the following order: high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and the use of pain killers that damage the kidney. To help save the kidneys you must eliminate the three causes. Also, your friend should take Assam tea and essential amino acids--threonine and BCAA being the most important. Excessive uric acid does not only cause problems of the kidney but is a good predictor of heart disease, as the tiny uric crystals accumulate in capillaries of the heart and microscopic stones that limit circulation too. The best way to reduce homocysteine by approximately 1/2 or 1/3 is supplementation of trimethylglycine, 2000 mg x 3 a day over one month, which also improves heart disease.

The cause of high uric acid is acidity and high blood sugar, which for me is defined as over 90 mg/dL, low water intake, and especially fructose from fruits, honey, and fructose in processed foods.

01/26/2013: K replies: "My friend used to have cancer, so his Kidney disease is probably a result of years of medicine and chemotherapy. He went to the doctor the other day and his kidney function is at 25%. His heart disease is due to damage to an aortic valve.

01/28/2013: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "If it is from Chemotherapy or medicine, then the scar tissues are the problem and regeneration and healing is needed. So aloe vera oil and bromelain 10% is a common remedy I have used, provided the nerves are not damage, or they can't regenerate. Bromelain 10% is taken at 1/2 teaspoon twice a day and aloe vera oil is 10 to 20 drops twice a day added to the food or taken alone. Bromelain is needed to break up the scar tissues at least and aloe vera to regenerate. Of course, avoiding the fructose, fruit juices, honey, fried foods, etc. mentioned in last email.

01/30/2013: Art from Tustin, Ca. USA replies: "Since Ted often mentions the use of aloe vera oil in some of his remedies, I just wanted to mention that aloe vera oil is becoming more readilly available here in the USA than it has been previously. Just Google "pure aloe vera oil" in order to find it.

Apple cider vinegar and then cooked it down to 3 cups and added 2 c. of honey once cooled. Does this juice also help with underactive thyroids? I started taking 1 tablespoon this morning and so did my husband since I made it more for him to help him lower his cholesterol and high blood pressure. I have underactive thyroid and was wondering if this will help that too. Please tell me all the benefits this juice can be used for. Is 1 tablespoon in the morning enough? Can I eat my breakfast right after or should I wait awhile before eating. I saw in the post that you should wait 15 to 30 minutes before eating anything. Will it work if you eat something after?

Our question is, that radioactive element not affect the body or heart? Does this give us perfect results?"

01/25/2012: Baldev from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India replies: "Hi Sandeep, your concern is quite logical, but if this test has to be done then one has to go through this procedure. The quantity of these drugs is not given to the level which could be detrimental to the body. As it is this test is a kind of alternate to the angiography. So let your brother go through the test and see as to how much and what kind of blockages he has, then he can decide the further course of action.
