[AlternativeAnswers] Dr Bate's Weekly Newsletter - 3/10 - Heart Attack alone

 

Alone With a Heart Attack
You're at home alone, and you suddenly feel a severe pain in the chest. It
is now radiating up all the way to your jaw area, and it's going outwards
to your left arm. Almost certainly you're having a serious heart attack.

You've only got about 10 seconds left. Your heart is stopping, and you'll
be losing consciousness unless you do something right now!

Start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be
taken before each cough. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as when
producing sputum from deep inside the chest. And a cough must be repeated
about every 1-2 seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the
heart is felt to be beating normally again. Cough even to pain!

It's now immediate decision time! How can you get the fastest medical help
or CPR?

1. Call 911 while coughing.
2. Scream for help IF someone who knows CPR is near enough to hear you.

You MUST get CPR immediately or you may die.

The deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and the coughing movements
squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.

There's still another benefit of this deep breath/cough routine. The
squeezing pressure on the heart may even help it regain normal rhythm. In
this way, heart attack victims can often get to a hospital and live a lot
longer.

One case was reported where the victim was driving about 5 minutes from a
hospital, and managed to stay alive while driving this distance by simply
using this deep breath/cough routine.

Five minutes or even longer is a huge improvement on 10-30 seconds of heart
stoppage. You may be able to save your own life.

Take a CPR course and you might be the person nearby that saves another's
life. Saving another persons life! Now, that's a real ego trip that makes
anyone feel good.

CPR is pretty simple to learn, and almost everyone can learn how to do it
effectively and safely.

Emily Patterson, the "creator" of the term Johnson and Toxin for the mega
giant Big Pharma firm of Johnson and Johnson that makes and sells many
products that contain cancer causing chemicals bought the URL "
www.johnsonandtoxin.com<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=IfObDaqPt3dBIj&b=RuUlFTm.c1B8nVaRmtiY1w>"
and modeled it after the original J & J web site,except it tells the real
story of that lovable baby shampoo that has different formulas around the
world because most countries ban the original. Click on that URL to see
it. Every click adds up to more people seeing the perfidy of Big Phrma in
general and J & J in particular.

In the US, Great Britain, Canada and Australia, there are 5 (count em)
carcinogenic chemicals allowed by the FDA (which is under the thumb of Big
Pharma instead of protecting the public as was intended). That shampoo
with that lovely baby pictured is banned in China and Japan, and a
different formula is used. It is banned in many other countries and a
slightly different formula is used that contains less carcinogenic
chemicals. So, Johnson & Johnson could easily switch to a less
carcinogenic formula easily, but that would cost money, so they stall while
people are dying of cancer. At best, such products start the carcinogenic
process for later cancer. And J & J knows all about it.

The funny (or sad) thing is that Ms Patterson has offered to sell her
original site (Sunflower Naturals) and her formula for a safe shampoo to J
& J that would clear up this controversy and huge cost to J & J, but they
refused. Now, it's costing them a lot in stock prices falling when they
even introduce new products, and several lawsuits are pending detailing
their possible criminal actions. Just how stupid and arrogant can Big
Pharma get?

[AlternativeAnswers] The Carotenoid Family: Lutein

 

Good Morning!

The Carotenoid Family: Lutein

Carotenoids, of which beta-carotenes are the most popular, are found in many fruits and vegetables, animals, plants and microorganisms. The body converts beta carotene into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, growth, cell division, reproduction and immunity. Among the 600 or more carotenoids in foods, beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein are well-known leaders in the fight to reduce the damage from free radicals.

Lutein is another carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits. Lutein acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against the damaging effects of free radicals. The central area of the retina in humans and primates is called the macula and contains lutein as the primary carotenoid.
Lutein acts to filter and shield harmful blue light from the eye and may decrease the risk of developing macular degeneration, the eye disease that afflicts one in three people over age 65. [20].

Smokers who consumed the most beta-carotene and flavonoids from food, also appeared to cut their Alzheimer's risk. [14]. Yet, smokers who take excessive beta carotene supplements may increase their risk of lung cancer. [33].

A recent study has also shown the risk of osteoperosis with excessive Vitamin A. Retinol is the direct form of vitamin A found in most multivitamins, cod liver oil, liver, fortified foods, and whole milk products. Dietary retinol is associated with fractures, beta carotene is not. Beta carotene, which is converted to Vitamin A by the body, is not associated with any increased risk of fracture. [34]. This study has shown that intake of vitamin A or beta carotene, can be best obtained by eating more red and yellow vegetables than taking supplements.

The recommended safe upper limit of retinol is 3000 mcg (9900 IU) per day. This includes all sources of retinol, including foods such as liver, dietary supplements such as cod liver oil and vitamin A supplements, fortified foods such as cereals, and multivitamins.

Foods high in carotenoids include red, orange, deep-yellow, and some dark-green leafy vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, winter squash, brussel sprouts, spinach, kale and broccoli.
