The Heart Reflexes

Heart disease is the leading killer in the 'civilized' nations. Second is cancer. The heart breaking leading cause of death globally is suicide, but that is not considered a 'killer disease' like heart failure. 

As a species, we are the unhealthiest life form on the planet. We have been here the shortest amount of time and have done the most amount of damage. We are stressed-out, comfort-driven beings who are mostly out of touch with nature, and as a result hundreds of millions of people are rapidly aging, falling apart and loosing organs and/or dying long before their time. Almost everyone in the modern world has some kind of physical problem and cardiovascular  disease is now leading the way.

Amongst all of the kingdoms and colonies governed by the Vatican (independent city/country/corporation since 1929) lead by the United Nations and their specialized agency, the World Health Organization, representing all of the people of the world, (except for Kosovo and Taiwan, and the Vatican of course) the entire month of February is dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease and increasing knowledge about prevention.

I have some great news to share with you!! I thought I would join the efforts of the Crown who holds the keys to the world, and share more in depth details about heart health at this time of raising awareness and offer some brilliant alternatives that they won’t tell us about to increase knowledge about prevention. 

In many nations like Canada, this awareness raising has been going on for at least 60 years. Today, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada is at work in communities from coast to coast, with:

•130,000 volunteers

•close to two million donors

Since 1956, the Foundation has raised and invested more than $1.3 billion in leading-edge heart disease and stroke research. These impressive results have been made possible by the ongoing and valuable efforts of volunteers and donors across this country.

Today, cardiovascular disease takes one person out of every three down, and one life every 7 minutes. According to Heart and Stroke Foundations around the world, and 90% of us have at least one heart disease risk factor. 

The work of hundreds of thousands of volunteers, campaigning and collecting money for research (by tax exempt associations and foundations) from the masses around the world has not led to a solution. In fact cardiovascular disease has risen to global epidemic proportions. 

The World Health Organization’s fact sheet sums up the prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases globally. 

W.H.O.Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) fact sheet

• CVDs are the number 1 cause of death globally: more people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause.
• An estimated 17.5 million people died from CVDs in 2012, representing 31% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 7.4 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.7 million were due to stroke .
• Over three quarters of CVD deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries.
• Out of the 16 million deaths under the age of 70 due to noncommunicable diseases, 82% are in low and middle income countries and 37% are caused by CVDs.

What are cardiovascular diseases?

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and they include:

• coronary heart disease – disease of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle;
• cerebrovascular disease – disease of the blood vessels supplying the brain;
• peripheral arterial disease – disease of blood vessels supplying the arms and legs;
• rheumatic heart disease – damage to the heart muscle and heart valves from rheumatic fever, caused by streptococcal bacteria;
• congenital heart disease – malformations of heart structure existing at birth;
• deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism – blood clots in the leg veins, which can dislodge and move to the heart and lungs.

If we are to survive as a species it is time to take matters into our own hands. There are ways to detect and reverse cardiovascular disease that have been kept hidden form us, for eons, since before the snake met the staff in fact, to wean ourselves from the MedRx.

The greatest news is that our body speaks volumes, enabling us to detect if our heart is in trouble long before we suffer any adverse effects. 

Unfortunately many of us don’t know the signs to look for if we are at risk of a failing or hurting heart. The Silent Killer is it’s name.

The face, the ears, the hands and the feet all divulge secrets about our internal condition, even when we’re uncertain what is happening in our body, IF we know what to look for.
