Young heart attack survivors face unexpected health crisis doctors miss – important info in light of the global uptick in heart attacks amongst the young

Leave a comment

EWNZ comment: I recall a friend’s hubby having a heart attack back in the late 80s, at 43. It was noticeably rare & met with great shock and unbelief at the time. Look around now however and you will hear and read of many very young folk having heart attacks. Especially since around 2020. I wonder why that was? If you sub to Prof Mark Crispin Miller at Substack you will scroll page upon page of heart attacks in the very young. This info below is IMO important for the heart compromised in terms of surviving. I too would have thought they would have greater resilience but it appears that that is not necessarily so ….

From NaturalHealth365

When a 45-year-old survives a heart attack, doctors and family members typically assume recovery will be swift.  Youth equals resilience, right?  A new study published in the European Heart Journal has shattered that dangerous assumption, revealing that nearly 1 in 10 heart attack patients under 55 are severely frail, and their mortality risk is dramatically higher than anyone expected.

What makes this discovery particularly alarming is that these young patients face a nearly fourfold higher risk of premature death compared to older heart attack survivors with the same frailty level.  Yet conventional cardiology continues screening older patients while younger ones slip through the cracks, unidentified, untreated, and dying an average of six years earlier than expected.

Massive study exposes hidden vulnerability in young heart attack survivors

Researchers analyzed 931,133 heart attack cases across England and Wales, dividing patients into three age groups: under 55, ages 55-74, and 75 and older.  Among patients under 55, researchers classified 3,710 – roughly 2.4% – as severely frail.

Young severely frail patients showed an adjusted hazard ratio of 6.69 for all-cause mortality within one year.  Compare that to 4.33 for middle-aged patients and just 2.31 for older patients.  Young frail patients faced 3.51 times higher mortality risk than older frail patients, a complete reversal of what doctors expect based on age alone.

Years of life lost painted an even grimmer picture.  Young severely frail heart attack patients died an average of 6.1 years earlier than expected.

Young frailty looks nothing like what doctors learned in medical school

Western medicine defines frailty through geriatric symptoms: slow walking speed, weakness, falls, and cognitive decline.  This outdated framework blinds doctors to what’s actually happening in younger populations – rapid accumulation of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, not physical deterioration.

Young, frail heart attack patients showed dramatically higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and early-onset heart failure.  They had higher body mass index, were more likely to smoke, and had a family history of coronary artery disease.

The study also exposed troubling care disparities.  Severely frail patients across all age groups demonstrated lower adherence to quality care standards: delayed procedures, fewer cardiology admissions, lower medication prescription rates, and minimal cardiac rehabilitation referrals.

Natural solutions address the root causes of premature cardiovascular aging

Pharmaceutical cardiology treats symptoms while ignoring the metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial damage, creating premature frailty in young bodies.

Focus on metabolic optimization: Make wild-caught fatty fish a regular part of your diet for anti-inflammatory omega-3s that reduce cardiovascular inflammation.  Incorporate organic pasture-raised eggs to provide choline for methylation pathways crucial to homocysteine metabolism.  Include 100% grass-fed beef and lamb to supply L-carnitine and CoQ10 for mitochondrial energy production in stressed heart muscle.  Eliminate processed seed oils, refined carbohydrates, and sugar that drive insulin resistance, the metabolic foundation of premature cardiovascular aging.

Consider strategic supplementation: Ensure adequate magnesium glycinate to support over 300 enzymatic reactions essential to cardiovascular function.  Make CoQ10 a priority if you have heart disease or take statins, which deplete this vital nutrient.  Add taurine to support electrical stability in the heart muscle and protect against oxidative stress.  Include vitamin K2 (MK-7) to direct calcium away from arteries and into bones where it belongs.

Address lifestyle fundamentals: Recognize that chronic stress elevates cortisol and inflammatory markers, accelerating biological aging.  Make restorative sleep a non-negotiable priority – poor sleep quality independently doubles the risk of a heart attack.  Work with a qualified holistic practitioner to address hidden infections and gut dysbiosis driving systemic inflammation throughout your body.

Discover comprehensive natural strategies for cardiovascular resilience

Jonathan Landsman’s Cardiovascular Docu-Class brings together 22 leading cardiologists, researchers, and nutritional experts, revealing evidence-based approaches that address the mechanisms driving heart disease and premature aging.  Discover functional lab tests detecting cardiovascular vulnerability years before heart attacks occur, natural protocols for reversing arterial damage and metabolic dysfunction, hidden infections and toxins accelerating biological aging, and drug-induced nutritional deficiencies worsening heart failure.

Bottom line: Young heart attack survivors face a hidden frailty crisis that Western medicine fails to recognize.  Nearly 1 in 10 patients under 55 show severe vulnerability, and their mortality risk vastly exceeds older patients with identical frailty levels.  Optimal cardiovascular health requires addressing root causes – metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial damage, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies – through targeted nutrition, strategic supplementation, and lifestyle interventions, rather than age-based assumptions and pharmaceutical protocols that ignore biological reality.

Common Pain Relievers Are Causing Heart Attacks

Leave a comment

From Dr Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • Nearly 70 million prescriptions for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are written each year in the U.S. and 30 billion doses are consumed, often for headaches, back pain and menstrual pain
  • Recent research finds a link between consistent use of NSAIDs with an increased risk of heart attack in the first seven days, with or without a previous history of heart disease
  • It is important to address the cause of the pain while using strategies that don’t have significant side effects, such as cayenne cream, acupuncture, Emotional Freedom Techniques and chiropractic management

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed extensively throughout the world. In the U.S., nearly 70 million prescriptions are written and 30 billion doses are consumed each year when over-the-counter NSAIDs are included.1

In many cases NSAIDs are prescribed to treat back pain, headaches, menstrual pain and arthritis. While most consider the medication innocuous, the truth is that by conservative estimates over 105,000 people are hospitalized each year from the side effects of NSAIDsand over 16,000 of those die.2

Side effects from long-term use of NSAIDs range from hearing loss to gastrointestinal bleeding. Unfortunately, there is no specific antidote for NSAID poisoning, which may lead to metabolic acidosis, multisystem organ failure and death.3

Research has now discovered side effects from NSAIDs may occur even with short-term use, increasing your risk of a heart attack in the first week to month if you take the medication consistently.4 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized the risks associated with NSAIDs since 2004.5

In order to review all studies involving NSAIDs, the FDA also recommended limiting use of over-the-counter NSAIDs. This review order came on the heels of rofecoxib’s (Vioxx) withdrawal from the market due to an increase in cardiovascular risk.6 Shortly after the withdrawal of Vioxx, another NSAID, valdecoxib (Bextra), was pulled from the shelves due to increased risk of heart, stomach and skin problems that outweighed the benefits of using the drug.7

Microwave ovens ‘fluke’ your heart while they ‘nuke’ your food – alarming studies reveal microwave frequency radiation can affect heart and blood

1 Comment

Such harmless benign looking little appliances, and so handy for our insanely sped up nowadays world. I’ve been laughed at for suggesting microwaves are harmful … that Russia banned them at one stage … thankfully the science is emerging. I first learned of the health risks from a nurse who was told in training (UK) not to heat baby formula in a microwave as it kills certain vitamins. From that I smelled a rat as the saying goes. Turns out a man who researched them by testing for vitamin content in food cooked in a microwave & food not, that definitely they do kill your nutrients. Needless to say his research was quickly debunked & hidden a long way under the proverbial carpet. Enough to put me off using one anyway. Err on the side of safety surely. I know a few folk who don’t use these anyway & I haven’t owned one myself for a few years now. As always you need to find this information out for yourself. Mainstream won’t tell you any time soon. It means fewer sales, less profits and so on. Because as you’ve possibly noted lately, for the last decade or more, that profits are more important than you or your health.

(Natural News) Many health conscious consumers rarely, if ever, microwave their food anymore, but when they do, they probably do not realize that they’re not just destroying the nutritional value of the food, but the “nuker” is negatively impacting their hearts.

The typical microwave frequency radiation coming from “nukers” seen in the average American kitchen is more than enough to screw with your heart rate and your heart rate variability. In fact, just 2.4 GHz, the average frequency produced by microwave ovens (and WiFi routers, by the way) can cause immediate and drastic changes to the human heart.

According to Dr. Magda Havas of Trent University, people exposed to radiation for just three minutes at 2.4-GHz can experience severe reactions in heart rate changes and altered heart rate variations, indicating an alarm response to stress, also called electrohypersensitivity (EHS) or rapid aging syndrome. This has been studied for decades. The response includes heart palpitations, clumping of red blood cells and fluctuations of the parasympathetic nervous system typical of a “fight-or-flight” response.

Dr. Havas also revealed that microwave ovens can lead to blood sugar spikes connected with diabetes. This usually happens when people stand within three feet of the oven while it’s running, like when anxious eaters park themselves directly in front of the microwave oven while waiting for those last few seconds to finish “nuking” their food or beverage.

Unequivocal evidence that microwave frequency radiation affects human heart

For years, bogus research and microwave oven fanatics have claimed that microwave ovens do not produce any immediate biological effects because the ordinary household level is far below federal guidelines. Most of those studies were conducted prior to the new millennium, but now environmental radiation is coming at us from multiple sources, including electromagnetic devices, laptops, WiFi and mobile phones.

DOCUMENTS REVEAL SUGAR INDUSTRY PAID OFF SCIENTISTS, SHAPING MASS PERCEPTION OF NUTRITION FOR MONEY

Leave a comment

The deviousness of corporate greed knows no end. Check out what the sugar industry has been up to, leading us all down the garden path with our health. As always follow the money. Sugar is evil at best in my opinion. It has been traced to many a health problem particularly cancer. Educate yourself and protect your immune system naturally. I should mention, don’t rely on mainstream media to give you the data on independent research. Go to the research of those who had nothing to gain from their results in terms of money. There you will be more likely to find truth. EnvirowatchRangitikei

ALANNA KETLER
Collective Evolution

According to newly uncovered documents, in the 1960s the sugar industry began funding research to cast doubt on sugar’s role in heart disease, mainly by pointing the finger at fat instead.

A recently published analysis based on correspondence between a sugar trade group and researchers from Harvard University clearly demonstrates how food and beverage makers actively shape the public’s understanding of nutrition for their own financial gain.

The Evidence

In 1964 a group known as The Sugar Association went over a campaign to address any “negative attitudes toward sugar” after studies linking sugar with heart disease began to emerge, according to documents that were dug up from the now public archives. The following year the group approved a project called “Project 226,” which involved paying researchers from Harvard the equivalent of todays $48,900 USD for an article reviewing scientific literature, supplying the materials they wanted reviewed and reviewing drafts of the article prior to publication.

The result was an article, published in 1967, which concluded there was “no doubt” that reducing cholesterol and saturated fat was the only dietary guideline necessary to prevent heart disease effectively. The consistency of the literature on fat and cholesterol were overstated by researchers, and studies on sugar were severely downplayed, according to the analysis.

A heart surgeon for 25 years – speaks out on what really causes heart disease – you’ll be surprized

Leave a comment

Reading this article from preventdisease.com, a heart surgeon with 25 years experience – has to cause you surely to ask the question – ‘what is wrong here?’ As the saying goes, something is not right in the state of Denmark. Pays to research and ask questions. We have a similar scenario going on with cancer treatment. We have professionals who also know something is wrong, who many times stand to lose their certification for going against the flow. The fact is, the medical profession changed its focus from natural healing to pharmaceuticals back in the 1920s and 30s courtesy of the Rockefeller fraternity. As a consequence instead of treating the root cause of our illnesses, we are treating the symptoms … with a pill … at great profit to the pharmaceutical industry. If you don’t believe this watch thetruthaboutcancer website’s documentaries where  all of this is confirmed in interviews by medical professionals. Be wise people and read … read the facts, seek out the answers.

Here is the article:

surgery-688380_1280“We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong.. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact … The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice…The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences…
The cholesterol theory led to the no-fat, low-fat recommendations that in turn created the very foods now causing an epidemic of inflammation. Mainstream medicine made a terrible mistake when it advised people to avoid saturated fat in favor of foods high in omega-6 fats. We now have an epidemic of arterial inflammation leading to heart disease and other silent killers….

Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before …”
