Cardiac Rehab Underutilized, Can Lower Death Risk

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


Participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program can decrease the risk of a recurrent heart attack and death. But only one-fifth of the patients who could benefit are referred, analysis shows.

According to Vera Bittner, M.D., who gave a presentation at an American College of Cardiology Scientific session, 15% of men and 22% of women ages 45 to 64, and 22% of people over 65 who have suffered a heart attack, will suffer another heart attack or die from a coronary event.

Special: Report: 2 Warning Signs of Sudden Cardiac Death

However, updated analysis shows those who attended a cardiac rehab program had a 35% lower risk of death.

Previous research had shown a nearly 80% survival rate after three years for those who participated in cardiac rehab, compared to 64% for those who did not. This included a 25% reduction in risk of suffering another heart attack.

Bittner said the biggest barrier to a patient enrolling in cardiac rehab is lack of physician referral.

“I don’t think there is a full appreciation within the medical community for how much the contemporary cardiac rehab program does and how much of an impact it has on mortality and morbidity,” she said.

A typical cardiac rehab program consists of 36 sessions during a 12-week period, and includes lifestyle counseling, medication education, increasing functional capacity through exercise, and learning how to evaluate and reduce stress.

If you’ve had a heart attack or have undergone bypass surgery or stenting, definitely discuss enrolling in a program with your doctor.

Feeling Lousy? Feel Better!​


POSTED ON DECEMBER 8, 2020 BY DR. PATRICK JONES
rehmannia
08
Dec
Within the armamentarium of herbal wonderments available to help with life’s ills are many herbs that stimulate immunity, many that inhibit or kill bacteria, and even some that directly interfere with viral attachment to cells and with virus replication. But when I feel sick there is one herb, an herb which does none of those wonderful things, to which I always turn. Rehmannia.
Rehmannia glutinosa
is a plant with some remarkable properties many of which I make good use of in my herb formulas. Let’s Dive into some of my favorite healing properties of this little fellow.
Rehmannia Builds Blood
One of the properties which I use in my Blood Builder formula is Rehmannia’s ability to support patients suffering from anemia. Research shows that it may be particularly beneficial in cases of anemia that accompany chemotherapy for cancer patients.
Rehmannia Lowers Blood Sugar
There is also good evidence that Rehmannia can help to lower blood sugars. It can reportedly be helpful for folks that are in the early stages of diabetes. People taking insulin or other medications that lower blood sugar, or people prone to low blood sugar for other reasons, should avoid herbs like Rehmannia as its additive effect to medications they’re already taking may cause problems.
Rehmannia May Help Osteoporosis
In addition to building blood, Rehmannia also helps to build bone particularly in post-menopausal women who may be struggling with osteoporosis. Numerous studies have shown Rehmannia‘s ability to positively benefit osteoporosis patients through a variety of mechanisms.
Neuroprotective Functions.
Rehmannia also has some neuroprotective functions and can be helpful in brain injury and stroke cases. Recent studies have also shown that it can play a positive role in dementia and Alzheimer’s patients.
Rehmannia And Inflammation
Rehmannia has some important immune-modulating properties that help the immune system to function properly. I’ve used it in allergy cases, dermatitis flare-ups, and perhaps most importantly, in autoimmune cases. There is good research to support Rehmannia’s benefits in a number of autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, etc…
Rehmannia And The Kidneys
I also use Rehmannia to support and restore the kidneys. There are a lot of herbs that’ll make you pee more…diuretics like dandelion, burdock, and parsley can all be beneficial for bladder infections and kidney stones by increasing urine output and flushing the system. But Rehmannia belongs to an elite and special category of kidney restorative herbs like astragalus, chamomile, and nettle seed that can actually support and heal the kidneys when they are struggling.
Adrenal Support With Rehmannia
Rehmannia is also an excellent supporter of the adrenal glands. In addition to containing many chemical building blocks to help these glands produce what they need to produce, it also supports the glands generally. I find it helpful for folks suffering from stress and adrenal fatigue.
So, Why Does Doc Take Rehmannia When He Feels Lousy?
Good question. While Rehmannia certainly has some good benefits (as mentioned above) The reason I usually take it is that it just makes me feel better when I’m sick. For me (and many others), Rehmannia eliminates that weak, miserable, malaise that invariably accompanies any sort of illness. Whether it’s the immune-modulatory properties, the anti-inflammatory properties, or the adrenal support functions I don’t know for sure. What I do know is that when I’m under the weather and take some Rehmannia I feel much, much better. So much better in fact, that I have to remind myself that I’m sick and probably shouldn’t go to work and get everyone else sick even though I feel pretty good. Oh, and one more thing…Rehmannia is, in my professional herbalist opinion, the best tasting herb of all. Yup, it’s delicious AND it makes you feel better.
Don’t take Rehmannia if you’re pregnant or nursing. Don’t take it if you are diabetic and taking meds. Don’t combine it with blood thinners. Don’t take it if you have liver disease or GI issues or if you have surgery coming up in the next week or so. Otherwise, I find it to be a remarkably effective and safe addition to solve a number of problems and, of course, to make you feel better when you feel lousy.

Dear Jimi,
Very few know this, but researchers have been able to reverse many of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in some small scale trials.
How successful are they, really?
Amazingly, in one study, six out of ten people with Alzheimer’s recovered enough to go back to their full-time jobs.
One of these patients started out in the lowest third percentile on tests of cognitive ability. After this protocol, he was in the 84th percentile.
These small studies have been met with skepticism but the implications of these results are profound. Could Alzheimer's be reversible?
As Alzheimer's drug trials fail over and over again prevention is definitely paramount. And interestingly many of the lifestyle modifcations that go a long way towards preventing Alzheimer's are the same ones used in these trials to help reverse the Alzheimer's disease course.
On Thursday, Dec. 10, another free 12-day Alzheimer's online video event with leading experts on the frontline against Alzheimer’s and dementia is airing and we want to make sure you know about it!
-->> Click here for a preview of this amazing event!
You'll recognize experts such as Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. Dale Bredesen and learn from new researchers such as Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, the developer of the MIND protocol.
The event is called Awakening from Alzheimer’s, and it’s an inspiring beacon of hope for the millions around the world who’ve been touched by this devastating disease.

Today's Motivation​

Wednesday​

December 09, 2020

Don't let worry control you. Try changing the way you respond to an adverse situation. Adjust your attitude. Put some space between the event and your reaction. Look for the good in all situations. Let all the extra stress, and overthinking go. Take a moment to breathe and think before you act. Realize you are in control of your thoughts. You get to decide how good or bad the situation is. Everything is all in how you look at it.

You Need WAY More Hugs Than You Think You Do

Looming over the myriad losses we’ve collectively experienced during 2020, the first cut was certainly the deepest: no more physical touch.

To varying degrees, most people have seriously curtailed the access other people have to them physically. Some have lost contact entirely and others have merely limited it.

While we know about the chemical importance of snuggling and what an oxytocin boost can do for our mental and physical health, and plenty of people identify “physical touch” as their most favored love language, the health benefits of hugging may have existed in your mind only anecdotally or personally.

But according to science, we’ve just got to have hugs.

And more than you think.

Virginia Satir, world-renowned family therapist, famously said:

“We need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.”

Where she got that metric may be hard to quantify, unless we really get into the math of hug length, cortisol suppression, oxytocin release, and measurable feelings of safety and belonging.
Fortunately, there is plenty of data to encourage regular and sustained hugging in our lives – and not just that fluffy, feel-good stuff about how we’re social creatures and hugging is part of a critical cocktail in the bond-forming ecosystem. (Although that’s completely true and if you know anyone who thinks hugging is undignified, they may just really need one.)

In fact, there’s something very specific in the anatomy of a hug that can account for its benefits.​
image

What’s in a Hug?

Unlike other forms of intimate touching – hand-holding, shoulder-patting – hugging covers more surface area… literally.

The very nature of its form allows for stronger pressure, more warmth and skin-contact, and closer energy than most other forms of casual touch.

When we hug, we activate pressure receptors on the skin called Pacini corpuscles. These corpuscles form large, onion-like structures in the skin and are sensitive to mechanical and vibrational compression.​
image

When they get activated, they send a signal to the vagus nerve. (You remember the vagus nerve – the gut-brain connection.) The vagus nerve receives the calm signal and sends a cascade of signals to the brain which, among other things, tell it to quell the area of the brain associated with responding to threats and keeping on guard.​

In other words, a hug tells the brain you’re okay. You can release. You can take a break from being on high stress alert.

You’re safe.

There a series of other things that happen during a hug, but first and foremost it’s important to understand that, scientifically and chemically speaking, hugs pull the lever on the tension handbrake in our bodies and allow us to come down from our sympathetic nervous systems and into our parasympathetics.

*-- Exercises for Your Knees --*

Just like with any other exercise it is so important that you warm up first! You can ride a stationary bike for about 5 minutes, take a brisk 2-minute walk while pumping your arms, or do 15-20 wall push-ups followed by the same number of calf raises. Doing this will help you get more out of your workout, prepare you to stretch, and lower your risk of an injury.

If your knee's not at its best, start with a simple strengthening exercise for your quadriceps, the muscles in the front of the thigh. This move puts little to no strain on the knee. Lie on your back on the floor or another flat surface. Bend one knee and place your foot flat on the floor. Keeping the other leg straight, raise it to the height of the opposite knee. Repeat 10-15 times for three sets.

Stand facing the back of a sturdy chair, other support such as the back of a couch, or a wall bar at the gym. You can also do this on the stairs, holding on to the banister with your heels hanging off the edge of the step. Slowly raise the heels as high as you can, then lower. Do three sets of 10-15. When it becomes easy, lift one foot slightly off the floor, with all your weight on the other foot.

Gentle is good. So skip high-impact activities such as running or intense aerobics. Notice what feels right for you. For example, some people love elliptical machines, but others don't. Swimming, jogging in water, or water aerobics are often great! Double-check with your doctor about your exercise plan.

Exercise should never cause pain or make it worse. Remember: Muscle soreness after a hard workout is normal. But sharp, shooting, or sudden pain in the muscles or joints means you should stop and check with your doctor.

‘Silent’ AFib Can Lead to Stroke

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


People who suffer a stroke for no apparent reason should be tested for what is called “silent atrial fibrillation,” a condition that raises stroke risk but does not turn up during routine cardiac testing, one study suggests.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a dangerous heartbeat irregularity that disrupts the flow of blood through the heart. It can lead to a blood clot that travels to the brain, causing a stroke.

People who have AFib can experience a variety of symptoms, including heart palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness, chest pain, dizziness, or fatigue. However, “silent” or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation does not cause symptoms, so it can remain undetected.

Special: 5 Stroke Warning Signs You Should Call 911 Immediately

Researchers presented data at a meeting of the International Stroke Conference in Honolulu from 572 patients who had experienced either unexplained strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), a condition that’s usually temporary and causes symptoms similar to stroke, but often foreshadows a genuine stroke.

When the researchers tested subjects with a traditional Holter monitor, which records the heartbeat for 24 hours, they found AFib in 3% of people tested.

Researchers said the study also showed the need to rigorously screen people who had unexplained strokes or TIAs so steps can be taken to reduce their risk.

Herbal, at-home treatments for SIBO,

Herbal antibiotics are one of the most effective treatments for SIBO. (Research has even shown that though they take a little longer, they work just as well as prescription antibiotics!)

A standard SIBO treatment, according to Dr. Siebecker, is 1-3 of the following herbs for 4 weeks, at the highest levels suggested on product labels:

  • Allicin
  • Oregano
  • Berberine- found in Goldenseal, Oregon Grape, Barberry, Coptis, Phellodendron
  • Neem
(If you have methane SIBO, she recommends Allicin as one of your herbs... if you have hydrogen SIBO, she recommends you don't use Allicin, and choose from the other herbs.)

Prof Chossudovsky and his crew over at https://www.globalresearch.ca/ have been saying pretty much the same thing since the beginning. As well as others in the non-mainstream scientific journals (including the first modelers). We tend to silence the truth. It is very inconvenient, and as one smart German guy once said - Truth is a violent thing.

Hi Jimi

The debate is over, and the findings are clear...

Our environment is making us sick.

From second-hand smoke to the overexposure of ultraviolet light from the sun, we are all under constant attack by these environmental “toxins."

And that’s just what’s outside. There’s also the exposure in our homes.

This includes what you eat… radiation exposure from items like an internet router and our cell phones... even some of the commonly prescribed medications for cancer treatments that can cause additional oxidative stress.

So why is oxidative stress so detrimental to our bodies?

Oxidative stress is a normal process that occurs within the body during the metabolic processes of the cells that release what are known as free radicals.

The body naturally neutralizes these free radicals by producing antioxidants.

Another process in the body that can lead to oxidative stress is immune system activation, which can lead to increased inflammation.

While all these processes are normal and correct, the issue is when one or more of these processes or systems go array.

Such as the body not making enough antioxidants to balance out these free radicals.

This then can lead to cardiovascular disease and varying types of cancers, as some of the main concerns that can develop.

A report published by Pizzino et al. in 2017 stated:
“If not strictly controlled, oxidative stress can be responsible for the induction of several diseases... both chronic and degenerative, as well as speeding up body aging process and cause acute pathologies (i.e., trauma and stroke).”
Many of us need additional supplementing with external antioxidant sources.

We here at Cancer Answers took the time to breakdown a few do’s and don’ts of adding antioxidants into your day-to-day habits.

What works:

  • Make it part of your daily routine.
    • Change some of the vegetables and fruits you may be already consuming with other options to increase antioxidants.
  • Choose whole-plant, whole food sources.
    • We always recommend the most natural, organic way possible. In this way, you get the benefits of the antioxidants and the many other benefits such as increased fiber consumption, natural and healthy sugars, other vitamins, and minerals the body needs.
  • Make your sources diverse.
    • Many types of antioxidants range in benefit within the body. By incorporating many forms of antioxidant-rich foods, from fruits and vegetables to herbs and seeds, you will ensure your body has the variety needed to maintain overall health.
What doesn’t work:
  • Do not rely on supplements.
    • Unfortunately, research cannot prove that supplemental forms of antioxidants have the same potential as whole food sources.
    • In scientific trials, some of these supplements increased the chances of developing lung cancer or cause further harm to your health.
As we briefly mentioned above, there are several types of beneficial antioxidants.

Here are some of the main types and varying foods that help our bodies get these essential nutrients:
  • Beta-carotene - supports oxidative stress reduction related to cancers, heart disease, and cognitive disease/disorders. Look for this nutrient in mangoes, pumpkins, and parsley.
  • Flavonoids - play a more significant role in protecting the brain and reducing oxidative stress related to cancer, heart disease, asthma, and stroke. Look for flavonoids in Cannabis Sativa (including Hemp), green tea, and onions.
  • Common Vitamins - support to reduce oxidative stress throughout the body. This includes Vitamin A found in sweet potatoes and broccoli, Vitamin C found in oranges, spinach, and bell peppers, and Vitamin E found in avocados and sunflower seeds.
  • Trace Minerals: Zinc, Manganese, Selenium found in seafood, lean meats, and nuts, helps to protect cells from damage and support optimal cell development.
Even replacing just one of the foods you’re eating a day with one or more of the items listed above can improve overall wellness and help reduce these toxins and attacks on our bodies.

A report published by Harvard’s School of Public Health summarizes:
“Epidemiological prospective studies show that higher intakes of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes are associated with a lower risk of chronic oxidative stress-related diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and deaths from all causes.”
Time to armor up your cells and make the intake of antioxidants a regular part of your day to day lifestyle <3.

Until next time,

To your health,

Cancer Answers

Self Love is the Number One Love


This is a tough one for people to swallow. Many of us believe that putting ourselves first means we are being selfish and we feel guilt.

Self-love can be demonstrated by prioritizing our self-care.

Self-care is the greatest expression of love.

In order to take care of others, we have to prioritize our self-care.

One of the best things we can do for self-care is sleep!

Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep - trust me it will be one of the best things you can do for yourself.

You will have more energy, more patience, more self-control, more mental clarity, less reactivity, improved relationships, more weight loss, less inflammation.

So your homework for this week is going to be to prioritize sleep and self-care❤️

Hi Jimi,

As we’re entering the end of the year, I can’t help but bring out my health journal and set important goals for 2021.

I recently learned that in the US alone, more than 40 million people have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease…

And each year, more than 300,000 people get added to that number with a Lyme diagnosis.

It only gets worse when traditional doctors don’t give patients the answers they need—especially due to our traditional medicine-centered culture.

But what if I told you that you are your own healing agent?


Our friend and producer, Gabe Golden, has recently created this transformative film and seven-episode series inspired by his own traumatic experience with medication for rheumatoid arthritis.

He began to search for the underlying cause of his condition and soon learned that others were on the same path and seeking answers where mainstream medicine had failed.

He created this film and shares empowering stories of those who navigated the same healing journey and insights from the physicians and practitioners who helped them (David is one of them!!)

Why attend?

  • You’ll learn how to build your own healing power through nutrition
  • Optimize your biology with technology
  • Create a healing state of mind
  • Access my exclusive interview with Gabe
  • And so much more!
Mark your calendar and join us on January 11-17, 2021 and start planning for a better and healthier life!

Dr. Crandall's Heart Health Report

Negative Thoughts Raise Inflammation: Study
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Increasingly, research is pointing to chronic bodily inflammation as a source of ailments, including coronary artery disease, diabetes, cancer, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease as well.
Stress is known to release hormones that can fuel inflammation, but a study from researchers at Ohio University is the first to directly measure the impact of the form of stress that comes from dwelling on negative thoughts and the reaction it has on C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation.
For the study, researchers recruited 34 healthy young women, and asked each to give a speech about her candidacy for a job to two interviewers in white laboratory coats.
Special: The Deadly Truth About Inflammation
Half of the group was asked to dwell on their performance in the public speaking task, while the other half was asked to think about neutral images and activities, such as sailing ships or a trip to the grocery store.
The researchers then drew blood samples, which showed levels of C-reactive protein were significantly higher in the subjects who were asked to dwell on the speech.
Their level of inflammatory marker continued to rise for at least one hour afterwards. During the same time period, the marker returned to starting levels in the subjects who had been asked to focus on other thoughts.
This study, presented at an annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society in Miami, demonstrates that negative thinking, in this case ruminating on a task that may or may not have gone well, can lead to higher levels of unhealthy inflammation within the body.
