4 Ways to Avoid a Heart Attack
One minute you are enjoying a stroll in the park and the next you feel as if an elephant just stepped on you. Clutching your chest and violently gasping for air, you suffer the eventual outcome of heart disease: a premature heart attack. This can be stopped. The underlying cause of a heart attack is narrowing of the arteries. The process is known medically as atherosclerosis. Cardiologists often describe atherosclerosis as a plumbing problem: fat and cholesterol-laden gunk gradually builds up within the arteries. If this build-up grows thick enough, it eventually plugs an affected "pipe” and you die. In 2004, Time magazine told the world that there's just one problem with the cholesterol hypothesis: “Sometimes it's dead wrong.” More than half of the people who suffer from heart attacks have “low cholesterol.” And “high” cholesterol (300-350mg/dL) is a natural and healthy part of aging. The higher total blood cholesterol the longer (yes, longer) people live. Thus, if you want to avoid feeling like an elephant is crushing your chest, look beyond cholesterol. Coronary arteries bear little resemblance to pipes. Instead, they are made up of muscle sandwiched between two “structural” layers. When the muscle of arteries becomes inflamed “atherosclerosis” or heart disease can set in. This is initiated by damage to the innermost structural layer that faces the bloodstream. Science has made great strides in identifying what causes damage to this layer. Aside from smoking, the biggest culprit in today’s heart attack pandemic is high blood sugar (greater than 115). It leads to a condition known as insulin resistance or early Type-II diabetes. Suicide in slow motion, insulin resistance causes blood sugar to float in the blood longer than it should. Resistant to insulin, muscle no longer vacuums it from the bloodstream. Over time, blood sugar reacts with amino acids floating nearby. The product of this reaction is a Swiss Army knife termed advance glycated end (AGE) product. AGE products cut and stab deep into structural layers of coronary arteries.[1] Medically, this is termed glycation. The slicing and dicing explains why diabetics have four times the risk of heart attack relative to non-diabetics. Overcome with high blood sugar, they face the butchering process of AGE products. The surprise outcome is a premature heart attack. A wildly effective way to prevent the indiscriminant damage caused by AGE products is to control blood sugar or increase sensitivity to insulin. Aside from cinnamon, proper sunshine and green tea, other methods of controlling it have been discovered: 1. Interval training can lower blood sugar by up to 40%.[2] To put into perspective, commonly prescribed Metformin lowers blood by a paltry 19% while putting users at risk of obesity![3] 2. Nutritional supplementation with magnesium (400 mg/day) was found to improve high blood sugar among elderly individuals.[4] A magnesium deficiency inhibits insulin from escorting glucose out of the bloodstream into muscles. The end result is insulin resistance and an increased risk of heart attack. Magnesium aspartate is the best absorbed form of magnesium. 3. Tannic acid from the banaba leaf mimics the actions of insulin by eliciting glucose transport from the blood stream into muscle. The safe and effective blood-sugar lowering effect of tannic acid has caught the attention of Big Pharma. Many drug companies are working rigorously to create a synthetic knock-off. 4. Increasing fiber intake with a tablespoon of psyllium husk prevents dangerous spikes in blood sugar after a meal. Controlling blood sugar has become the absolute hottest area of research. Not only does it suggest a single way of ameliorating heart disease, but also a host of other diseases caused by high blood sugar. These include but are not limited to diabetes, cancer and even Alzheimer’s! Instead of dosing patients up with a handful of drugs to treat a handful of diseases, controlling blood sugar naturally is one remedy for all three!

How Diabetics Can Live to be 100 Years Old.
We hope you will become more informed about Diabetes after reading this article.

How Diabetics Can Live to be 100 Years Old
By Shane “The People’s Chemist” EllisonCopyright © 2007 The Peoples Chemist
As a medicinal chemist, I’m often asked, “How can I live to be a 100 years old?” My answer is simple, “Learn to control blood sugar and insulin.”
The biggest threat to longevity is high blood sugar and insulin. Known as type II diabetes – or more accurately insulin resistance – it has become a nationwide epidemic that steals 11 to 20 years from a person’s lifespan. It’s one of the main culprits behind depression, obesity, heart disease and even cancer. Being a person who once designed prescription drugs (and the occasional party drug – legal ones, of course) , I want to help you understand two simple facts about the pandemic killer that may help you avoid it – and live to be 100 rather than 65 or 70 years old!
Fact #1: Anti-Diabetic Drugs like Avandia and Actos are Deadly
To curb the threat, family physicians are madly prescribing Avandia and Actos in hopes of reversing type II diabetes, vaulting sales to over $4 billion annually. Unknown to most, Avandia users have a whopping 30-40% increased risk of heart attack and other heart-related adverse events (heart failure) compared to patients treated with placebo. (1) This side-effect is partly due to the drugs ability to lower “hemoglobin.”
This pigment in the blood is used by the body to transport oxygen throughout the entire 100,000 miles of adult veins, arteries, and capillaries. Without it, a condition known as “ischemia” sets in. This is a fancy term for “suffocation.” Clinically, heart attack or heart failure can result from the lack of oxygen.
Actos belongs to the same class of medicine as Avandia – glitazones. Not surprisingly, it carries the same risks. Health Canada sounded the alarm as early as 2001! But the danger is being hidden from the American public.
Commenting on the unannounced danger, the U.S. Congress stated that the, “FDA’s apparently callous disregard for the safety of diabetics taking Avandia is very reminiscent of the Agency’s failure to move on Vioxx when substantial safety signals first became known. Like Vioxx, Avandia may have unnecessarily risked the lives of tens of thousands of Americans.” (2)
Fact #2: Natural Medicine Can Safely Reverse Insulin Resistance
In the process of designing anti-diabetic drugs, Big Pharma surveyed a myriad of natural products to find a “lead compound” that would show them how best to design a synthetic drug. Corosolic acid from the banaba leaf was found to be the most potent. (3)
Corosolic acid successfully reverses insulin resistance as seen by lowered blood levels of insulin and glucose among users. Rather than promote the natural medicine to the millions who suffer from insulin resistance, Big Pharma has been working rigorously to make a synthetic copycat – so they can monopolize it. They have failed miserably. Fortunately, the natural source is readily available as “banaba leaf” at local health food stores.
Nature’s diabetes cure - Banaba leaf – works at the molecular level by fine-tuning the damaged insulin receptor – the cause of insulin resistance. This benefit rests in its ability to selectively initiate a chemical reaction known as “phosphorylation” at the receptor site. In effect, what is “jammed,” becomes un-jammed thanks to the banaba leaf. Akin to a key being inserted into a lock, insulin is free to interact with the receptor, thereby triggering the cell to open the doors for blood sugar.
Users of Banaba leaf not only avoid dangerous prescriptions while increasing insulin sensitivity, but they also melt fat and build muscle in the process. This beneficial effect comes from the subsequent balancing of hormones that occurs once blood levels of insulin and glucose are normalized. Men rid their body of excess estrogen and boost testosterone and vice-versa for women. Of course, lifestyle habits such as exercise and minimizing sugar while increasing healthy fat and protein consumption are pre-requisites to the success of banaba leaf.
Closing
Among those populations who live the longest, they thrive courtesy of being ultra sensitive to insulin - naturally. And conversely, those who die the youngest from obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are grossly insensitive to it courtesy of type II diabetes. Or they are “following doctor’s orders” and swallowing prescription drug like Avandia or Actos.
