Dear Health Conscious Reader,
If you or someone you love was having a heart attack, would you be able to recognize the symptoms?
You may be surprised to learn there's more to a heart attack than chest pain. Especially in women. In fact, many women never realize they're having a heart attack – until it's too late.
Over the past several decades, modern medicine has improved its ability to rescue heart attack victims. But you must receive this life saving technology fast. The most common reason for death or serious heart damage is that patients simply don't recognize their symptoms in time.
The cells of your heart muscle require a constant supply of blood. If they don't get, they die. We had a saying in medical school, "Dead meat, don't beat." The number of cells that die during a heart attack determines if you live or die.
If you survive, the extent of this damage determines your future capacity or incapacity. Early detection and treatment makes the difference.
Here's a list of the common heart attack symptoms you've probably heard of:
Chest discomfort
Pain that radiates to the shoulders, neck, back or arms, especially the left arm
Dizziness
Sweating or breaking out in a cold sweat
Nausea
Shortness of breath
Pain that radiates to the jaw
Most people know to look out for those classic symptoms. What they don't know is that many heart attack victims don't experience any of the classic symptoms.
Many believed they strained a muscle. Some have no pain at all.
The signs considered typical of a heart attack—sharp chest pains, pains running down the left arm, and shortness of breath—are true in men. These are the "classic" symptoms we mentioned above.
But they're not common in women. A woman having a heart attack is more likely to experience:
Aches in the shoulders and both arms.
Abdominal discomfort that mimics indigestion.
Unusual fatigue.
Dizziness or lightheadedness.
A general feeling that something's wrong.
And often, no pain at all.
So what can you do? If you have one or more of the symptoms mentioned, get to an emergency room immediately! Don't put it off. Calling 911 is usually better than driving to the hospital. The EMS team can begin treatment immediately.
While you are waiting for EMS to arrive, chew and swallow a regular 325 mg aspirin. There's strong evidence that during a heart attack, a single aspirin could save your life.

Heart and Energy “Cocktail”
Following is recipe for dramatically improving cardiac function
and energy production. Try this for 6 to 12 weeks to see
the optimal effects, then use as needed.
Ribose: Take 5 g 3x/day for 6 weeks, then 5 g 2x/day for 6
more weeks. This nutrient is outstanding for heart disease.
Coenzyme Q10: Take 400 mg/day for 6 weeks, then 200 mg/
day for 6 more weeks. This nutrient is especially critical for
anyone on cholesterol-lowering medications, even if there are
no heart problems, as these medications cause Co-Q10 deficiency
(a nutrient critical for energy production).
Magnesium: Take 200 mg/day for 12 weeks.
Vitamin B complex: Take 50+ mg/day for 12 weeks.
Acetyl-L-carnitine: Take 500 mg 2x day for 6 weeks, then
500 mg/day for 6 weeks (and it can often simply be stopped in six weeks)

Salba
They have changed the 11oz bottle to 9.5oz for the ground version. The whole seed is thankfully staying at the 16oz size. It is cheaper to buy the whole seed and grind it yourself. What works best is a magic bullet or a coffee grinder.
