Heart
Surgeon Admits Huge Mistake: By Dwight Lundell, MD
The discovery a few years ago
that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is
slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic
ailments will be treated. 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. Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive stating
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. Ultrasound image gallery may be checked by clicking here.

For Heart Vein opening:
- Lemon juice - 01 cup
- Ginger juice - 01 cup.
- Garlic juice - 01 cup
- Apple vinegar - 01 cup
Mix all above and boil on low
heat, approximately half hour, when it becomes 3 cups, take off stove and let it
cool. After cooling, mix 3 cups of natural honey and keep it in bottle. Every
morning before breakfast use one Table spoon regularly. Your blockage of Vein's
will open. There is no need for angiography or Bypass surgery. This may be
tried befor blockage reaches limit and demands surgery.
Statistics from the American Heart Association show that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes. These disorders are affecting younger and younger people in greater numbers every year. Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped. Inflammation is not complicated; it is quite simply your body's natural defence to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process, and a condition occurs which is called chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation is just
as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial. What thoughtful person would
willfully expose him repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to
cause injury to the body? Well, smokers perhaps, but at least they made that
choice willfully. The rest of us have simply followed the recommended
mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and
carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood
vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart
disease, Stroke, diabetes and obesity. Let me repeat that. The injury and
inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for
years by mainstream medicine.
What are the biggest culprits
of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the Overload of simple, highly
processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and
the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and
sunflower that are found in many processed foods. Take a moment to visualize
rubbing a stiff brush repeatedly over soft skin until it becomes quite red and
nearly bleeding. You kept this up
Several times a day, every day for five years. If you could tolerate this
painful brushing, you would have a bleeding, swollen infected area that became
worse with each repeated injury. This is a good way to visualize the
inflammatory process that could be going on in your body right now. Regardless
of where the inflammatory process occurs, externally or internally, it is the
same. I have peered inside thousands upon thousands of arteries. A diseased
artery looks as if someone took a brush and scrubbed repeatedly against its
wall. Several times a day, every day, the foods we eat create small injuries
compounding into more injuries, causing the body to respond continuously and
appropriately with inflammation. While we savor the tantalizing taste of a
sweet roll, our bodies respond alarmingly as if a foreign invader has declared
a war. Foods loaded with sugars and simple carbohydrates, or processed with
omega-6 oils for long shelf life have been the mainstay of the American diet
for six decades. These foods
have been slowly poisoning everyone.
How does eating a simple sweet
roll create a cascade of inflammation to make you sick?
Imagine spilling syrup on your
keyboard and you have a visual of what occurs inside the cell. When we consume
simple carbohydrates such as sugar, blood sugar rises rapidly. In response,
your pancreas secretes insulin whose primary purpose is to drive sugar into
each cell where it is stored for energy. If the cell is full and does not need
glucose, it is rejected to avoid extra sugar gumming up the works. When your
full cells reject the extra glucose, blood sugar rises producing more insulin
and the glucose converts to stored fat. What does all this have to do with
inflammation? Blood sugar is controlled in a very narrow range. Extra sugar
molecules attach to a variety of proteins that in turn injure the blood vessel
wall. This repeated injury to the blood vessel wall sets off inflammation. When
you spike your blood Sugar level several times a day, every day, it is exactly
like taking Sandpaper to the inside of your delicate blood vessels. While you
may not be able to see it, rest assured it is there. I saw it in over 5,000
surgical patients spanning 25 years who all shared one common denominator
inflammation in their arteries.
Let's get back to the sweet
roll. That innocent looking goody not only contains sugars, it is baked in one
of many omega-6 oils such as soybean. Chips and fries are soaked in soybean
oil; processed foods are manufactured with mega-6 oils for longer shelf life.
While omega-6's are essential –they are part of every cell membrane controlling
what goes in and out of the cell — they must be in the correct balance with
omega-3's. If the balance shifts by consuming excessive omega-6, the cell
membrane produces chemicals called cytokines that directly cause inflammation.
Today's mainstream American diet has produced an extreme imbalance of these two
fats. The ratio of imbalance ranges from 15:1 to as high as 30:1 in favor of
omega-6. That's a tremendous amount of cytokines causing inflammation. In
today's food environment, a 3:1 ratio would be optimal and healthy.
To make matters worse, the
excess weight you are carrying from eating these foods creates overloaded fat
cells that pour out large quantities of pro-inflammatory chemicals that add to
the injury caused by having high blood sugar. The process that began with a
sweet roll turns into a vicious cycle over time that creates heart disease,
high blood pressure, diabetes and finally, Alzheimer's disease, as the
inflammatory process continues unabated. There is no escaping the fact that the
more we consume prepared and processed foods, the more we trip the inflammation
switch little by little each day. The human body cannot process, nor was it
designed to consume, foods packed with sugars and soaked in omega-6 oils. There
is but one answer to quieting inflammation, and that is returning to foods
closer to their natural state. To build muscle, eat more protein. Choose carbohydrates
that are very complex such as colorful fruits and vegetables. Cut down on or
eliminate inflammation- causing omega-6 fats like corn and soybean oil and the
processed foods that are made from them. One tablespoon of corn oil contains
7,280 mg of omega-6; soybean contains 6,940 mg. Instead, use olive oil or
butter from grass-fed beef. Animal fats contain less than 20% omega-6 and are
much less likely to cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labeled
polyunsaturated. Forget the “science” that has been drummed into your head for
decades. The science that saturated fat alone causes heart disease is
non-existent. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also
very weak. Since we now know that cholesterol is not the cause of heart
disease, the concern about saturated fat is even more absurd today.
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. What you can do is choose whole foods your
grandmother served and not those your mom turned to as grocery store aisles
filled with manufactured foods. By eliminating inflammatory foods and adding
essential nutrients from fresh unprocessed food, you will reverse years of
damage in your arteries and throughout your body from consuming the typical
American diet.

Dr Mayuri
Yadav's Observations
Brain Damaging Habits:
1.
No Breakfast: People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower
blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the
brain causing brain degeneration
2.
Over eating: It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a
decrease in mental power.
3.
Smoking: It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer
disease.
4.
High Sugar consumption: Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of
proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain
development.
5.
Air Pollution: The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body.
Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing
about a decrease in rain efficiency.
6.
Sleep Deprivation: Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation
from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells…
7.
Head covered while sleeping: Sleeping with the head covered increases
the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that
may lead to brain damaging effects.
8.
Working your brain during illness: Working hard or studying with
sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage
the brain.
9.
Lacking in stimulating thoughts: Thinking is the best way to train our
brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10.
Talking Rarely: Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency
of the brain
Causes of Liver Damage:
1.
Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2.
Not urinating in the morning.
3.
Too much eating.
4.
Skipping breakfast.
5.
Consuming too much medication.
6.
Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and
artificial sweetener.
7.
Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil
use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do
not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8.
Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
a.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be
finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending
more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits.
Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our
bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'
