How I was cured of pain in my heart with zucchini (a true story by E. A. Antipova, St. Petersburg)

● I lived with my husband for 36 years, and 15 years ago I became a widow. For three years I suffered from the loss of a loved one, which caused my health to deteriorate, and in a pre-heart attack state I ended up in cardiology.

I completed a course of treatment and was discharged, and decided to improve my health at the hacienda. The doctors categorically forbade me from physical activity, but little by little I planted pumpkin and zucchini seeds.

● To my great surprise and joy, they gave me a bumper harvest, and all summer my menu consisted mainly of zucchini. I put them through a juicer, added the pulp to porridge, cooked pancakes, and made jam.

Zucchini juice (more than 1.5 liters) became my daily drink.

● By the fall, the heart attacks stopped, and the cardiogram indicators improved significantly. Moreover, my long-standing hip problem, which prevented me from sleeping normally on my side, suddenly calmed down.

A large spur on the heel had also dissolved, which made it difficult to walk.

● Many years have passed since then, and in all these years I have never had to call “ ambulance" And all this is thanks to zucchini therapy and the menu. Zucchini saved me. Try it too, you won’t regret it. Be healthy. God bless you!

About heart disease

A. The cause of all heart problems is an incorrect diet, and therefore the treatment of heart disease can only be dietary. According to the authoritative statement of Dr. N.V. Walker, the starch molecule is insoluble in water, alcohol, or ether. When eating bread, potatoes, rice and other foods containing starch, the blood becomes clogged with starch molecules. The heart is healthy when it pumps pure blood, but when the blood is clogged, it is very difficult for the heart to pump such blood. The most rational way to treat all heart diseases is a raw vegetarian diet and plenty of raw vegetable juices. All starches, dairy products and sugar should be completely eliminated from the diet.

B. For microscopically small relief of heart pain, Russian healers from ancient times advised heart patients to drink violet flower tea. You need to drink it long and hard, many times a day.

B. In the archives of the author of this manual there are still several remedies for heart disease, including treatment foxglove (digitalis). Doctors of official medicine have been using foxglove for no more than sixty years and adopted this method of treatment from healers who have been using this herb for heart patients for many centuries. However, digitalis does not cure heart disease, but only provides relief. It should be noted that informing the average person about all the rules for treating digitalis is very dangerous. Many patients with “heart disease” die every day from heart attacks. Let's imagine that the author would describe in his medical book all the rules for using digitalis. Many patients, diligently and intensively using digitalis, would delay death for several months, but still would not avoid a fatal heart attack.

For heart diseases, the Bulgarian healer Vanga advises: drink the decoction four times a year for four days chokeberry flowers. And when the heartbeat is on nervous soil: grate 0.5 kg lemons, mix them with 0.5 kg honey and 20 crushed apricot kernels. Take one tablespoon in the morning and evening on an empty stomach.

When the heart is unable to function normally, its pumping function decreases sharply. There is a discrepancy between the supply of organs and tissues of the body with blood and oxygen with their metabolic needs, as a result of which the body suffers due to impaired blood supply. This phenomenon is defined in medicine as heart failure (HF). There are two types of such pathological process - chronic and acute. It is characteristic that heart failure is not a separate independent disease, but is a consequence of a specific illness. The main complication of this pathology is stagnation of the blood. The body begins to suffer due to insufficient amounts useful substances and oxygen carried by the blood.

As already mentioned, pathological condition heart muscle develops against the background of complications after an illness. To the most common reasons include diseases such as:

• heart defects with a predominance of degenerative aortic valve disease;
• ischemic disease and/or arterial hypertension;
• previous myocardial infarction or ACS;
• diabetes;
• COPD;
• chronic and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation;
• transferred acute disorder cerebral circulation.

Less common causes of CHF are:

• previous myocarditis;
• cardiomyopathy;
• toxic myocardial damage of various etiologies, including iatrogenic origin (chemotherapy, radiation damage to the myocardium, etc.);
• anemia.

It is extremely rare when heart failure begins to manifest itself as one of the first symptoms indicating the presence of the disease, especially with dilated cardiomyopathy. If we talk about hypertensive disease, then heart failure against its background appears several years later. Whenever acute heart attack Most of the heart muscle is affected, the tissue of which instantly dies. As a result, this state progresses in a short period of time. Therefore, it is observed acute form heart failure, other ailments are classified as chronic.

How is it developing?

The pathological process begins to noticeably manifest itself differently for each patient, based on the clinical picture of the cardiovascular disease. There are two types of heart failure:

Type of heart failure	Description
Right ventricular	The distinctive symptomatology is swelling lower limbs, enlargement of the liver and spleen, the appearance of ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity). This is due to stagnation of blood in the vessels great circle blood circulation due to insufficient pumping function of the heart. At the same time, the patient begins to feel fatigued because the body is not saturated with enough oxygen. Pulsation of the neck veins may be observed.
Left ventricular	This pathology is characterized by stagnation in the pulmonary circulation (in the pulmonary circulation). The body suffers from a lack of oxygen in the blood. In this condition, shortness of breath appears, performance is noticeably reduced, on the contrary, rapid fatigue appears.

Reference! If the right ventricle has been affected, then symptoms will begin to appear much faster than with a defect in the left ventricle. This happens because the left ventricle is one of the strongest parts of the heart. Unfortunately, if the lesion affects the left ventricular region, then failure begins to progress as quickly as possible.

Main symptoms

Depending on the damage to the heart, the first signs of the pathological process begin to appear. Characteristic symptoms determined by frequent shortness of breath, dizziness, pallor skin, accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, sudden blurred vision, fainting, swelling of the lower extremities. With the active development of heart disease, the patient cannot tolerate physical activity. Later stages of deficiency exclude the ability to work; on the contrary, symptoms may clearly manifest themselves at rest. Internal organs begin to suffer due to insufficient oxygen supply.

Symptoms may vary and are determined by which side of the heart is affected.

Carefully! Regardless of the symptoms, heart failure can often lead to fatal outcome. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose the disease in a timely manner and begin correct treatment.

What do patients complain about?

Note! That when talking to a doctor you need to tell about the presence of a cough. Very often, patients do not attach any importance to this symptom, especially smokers. The main misconception is that cough is absolutely not related to heart disease. Sometimes this is the defining moment indicating heart failure.

Diagnosis

Heart failure is always viewed through the prism of cardiovascular diseases. To determine this diagnosis, it is enough for the doctor to conduct an examination, review the patient’s medical history, but in order to accurately establish in which of the ventricles the pathological process, several diagnostic methods will be required .

1. ECG. A study called electrocardiography allows you to understand in detail the signs of myocardial ischemia and hypertrophy. Based this study Special load tests have been developed. Under the influence of different levels of load on the patient, specialists receive detailed information about the reserve capacity of the cardiac pumping function.
2. EchoCG. This is an examination of the heart muscle using ultrasound. Thanks to it, the root cause of heart failure and the overall performance of the ventricles are determined. Today, echocardiography can confirm the presence of heart defects and other serious heart ailments.
3. X-ray examination. The main objective of the method is to diagnose an increase in the size of the heart cavities, as well as to determine congestive processes in the pulmonary circulation. Excellent for routine therapy monitoring.
4. PAT. Today it is considered one of the most unique research methods, which, using a radioactive label, determines the viability of the myocardium. It is a very expensive study.
