"It is easy to hate, and it is difficult to love. It is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve, while bad things are straightforward."
Confucius (551 BC – 479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, politician, and philosopher. By Simran Khurana (Updated March 18, 2017)
Prolog:
Cardiac catheterization and bypass surgery are often emergencies to prevent further patient deterioration. Improper blood flow to the coronary arteries may cause irreversible damage to the heart muscle, putting the patient's life at risk.
- Supportive drug treatment to prevent coagulation and lower blood pressure and cholesterol for the recovery period, lasting several months, is a necessary evil! The problem is that many heart patients continue the drug treatment without significant changes in the dose, even though the next step after an invasive emergency is to restore the heart and the entire immune system.
- An anti-inflammatory diet, regular and moderate physical activity, and a relaxed lifestyle are critical to the patient's recovery process.
Drug treatment, especially after a cardiac event, or catheterization and certainly surgery, is essential in decreasing doses. Still, they should not be for good, but only for the recovery period and not for many years.
The number of people affected by high blood pressure has almost doubled over the past 40 years.
You may be surprised that bad cholesterol, LDL, and hypertension are not the leading causes of coronary heart disease!
Especially young patients with chronic heart disease must consider the mental-energetic dimension.
- The immune system in young people should not allow for chronic heart disease. Chronic heart disease at a young age is usually due to unresolved mental traumas stored in the subconscious.
75% of all heart attack patients had regular to low cholesterol levels!
- Only about 20% to 25% of cholesterol originates from our diet; the rest is synthesized in the liver. There is no point in interfering with the liver during regular operation while causing damage.
- High blood levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol are not good indicators that explain coronary heart disease morbidity.
- Measuring the calcium deposits in the heart arteries and testing insulin resistance are measures that predict a much higher probability of heart attacks.
Hypertension is not the cause of coronary heart disease.
- It is a body symptom compensating for non-resilient, obstructed blood vessels and low-output kidneys and liver that require high filter pressure.
Heart disease experts link insulin resistance as one of the major causes of coronary heart disease.
-
- Insulin resistance is usually a factor that predicts diabetes type 2 or pre-diabetes.
- Link: Type 2 diabetes natural rehabilitation.
- Contrary to popular belief, insulin resistance is not only related to carbohydrate and sugary intake but primarily to consuming industrialized and processed foods that also contain high levels of non-natural sugars and trans fat. (Most harmful)
- The pharmaceutical lobby gradually lowered the desired cholesterol level recommendations to fit large sections of the population.
- Lipitor (a cholesterol-lowering drug) has become the best-selling drug, even for those who do not have coronary heart disease.
- It is worth noting that the body needs natural oils; natural oils are not the enemy! The undesirable oils are trans fats, heated oils, and hydrogenated vegetable oils like Margarine.
The TRUTH about Blood Pressure and Cholesterol. | Dr. John Bergman.
Many essential processes in the human body need cholesterol as a building block. (Membranes of cells, hormones, vitamin D)
High blood cholesterol levels usually indicate the need for massive repair of damaged tissue, most often resulting from inflammatory processes (as was the case in my case). The primary cause of cholesterol buildup on the coronary artery walls is inflammatory processes that impair arterial elasticity, plaque accumulation, and calcification.
- Like the other body organs, the heart has a remarkable rehabilitation ability that is not fully expressed due to extensive drug treatment.
- Realizing that no medication can cure an unhealthy lifestyle is essential. To be cured, the causes of the disease must be treated, not its symptoms.
- Symptomatic treatments usually cannot cure the patient, as they do not eliminate the disease's causes.
- The self-healing method's principles of combining body, mind & spirit allow the body to independently rehabilitate the immune system, thereby initiating recovery from any acquired chronic illness, including coronary artery disease (CAD).
- This article presents a different treatment and recovery approach to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) based on self-healing principles.
Self-healing is like "Performing miracles." Every human being has this capability. It just needs to be revealed.
Links: | Self-Healing Medicine – Main principles and guidelines. | How to get started with self-healing therapies? |
The leading causes of heart disease are mainly an unhealthy lifestyle. (Mental and physical)
Implementing the Kübler-Ross behavioral model regarding Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is essential for recovery.
A heart attack, especially at a young age, is a traumatic event of "mourning."
Link: Kübler-Ross model – Explains the behavior of personal loss.
Coronary heart patients usually skip the denial stage of their illness and move on to the anger and bargaining stage (why this happened to me). Still, the harsh reality quickly puts most patients into the depression phase!
- Unsurprisingly, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients pass through these five stages of the behavioral grief model, known as the Kubler-Ross model. (Quite Similar to other chronic patients.)
- Initially, the Kübler-Ross model was only concerned with the stages of death and dying. Kübler Ross's model was later expanded to include personal loss. No doubt, being a long-term alcoholic has properties of grief and loss.
- From my experience, what prevents making lifestyle changes is often Denial, Anger, and Depression.
- Reaching acceptance as fast as possible is essential for elevating the spirit and gaining needed energy. Recovery from CAD requires determination, perseverance, and strong willpower.
- The real hope for recovery from CAD would give anyone the strength to undertake all the accompanying lifestyle changes.
Freshly squeezed juice - the best natural remedy.
Ultimate Mechanical Liver-Detoxification is usually required, as inflammatory processes often block the coronary arteries.
Mechanical detoxification involves drinking natural squeezed juices, coffee enemas, liver gallbladder, and kidney flushes.- Fresh juices supply the body with vitamins, enzymes, electrolytes, and antioxidants. They elevate the body's energy and help the liver produce more bile.
- Drinking two cups of freshly squeezed juice once in two days (at least) flushes the kidneys.
- Liver flushes (especially when added apple cider vinegar) can dissolve and remove solidified bile stones resulting from high toxicity levels.
- Coffee enemas are much more effective when the bile ducts are not blocked. (Movement inside the liver occurs through the bile ducts.)
- Coffee enemas have an almost immediate effect on the liver and intestines. The liver's pressure pushes all the toxins (with the stones) out through the duodenum to the intestines by producing more bile. The peristaltic movement is seven times stronger than usual; it pushes everything stuck inside the intestines through the colon.
When the body has low toxicity levels, the body's energy will improve significantly. Therefore, the immune system can fight all pathogens that constantly reside in our digestive system much more effectively. Boosting the immune system is mandatory to recover from any acquired chronic diseases.
Like all other organs, the heart can recover and repair cumulative damage (given the appropriate conditions).
- Using the self-healing method, restoring the immune system can reverse the regeneration of damaged Coronary Arteries by strengthening the body, mind, and spirit.
- Given the proper conditions, all organs in the body (even the brain) can repair damaged arteries and myocardial tissue.
- The closer the patient's age to the outbreak, the shorter and more accessible the treatment will be, and vice versa.
- If you seek advice from doctors about self-healing methods, do not expect your doctor's support!
How to dissolve calcium and plaque deposits naturally from blood vessels.
Calcium deposits in internal organs are widespread; they result from prolonged inflammatory processes and a lack of homeostasis in calcium metabolism in our body. The way to restore the calcium cycle in the body to dissolve existing sediment requires a series of several steps simultaneously:
1 A diet very rich in magnesium (all green leaves are rich in magnesium, as well as sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
2 Controlled sun exposure produces vitamin D3, a cholesterol derivative essential for calcium metabolism in our body.
3 Increased intake of foods rich in vitamin K2. (Preferably from an organic source)
4. Regular exercise stimulates blood and lymph circulation and dissolves calcium deposits.
Repairing the damaged tissues and dissolving calcium deposits may be lengthy but more effective than any possible drug.
Recommended dietary sources of vitamin K-2 include: (Essential for calcium homeostasis.)
- Natto is a traditional Japanese dish of fermented soybeans.
- Sauerkraut.
- Fatty fish, such as salmon.
- Dairy products, especially hard cheeses. (Not recommended)
- Liver and other organ meats. (Preferably from grass-fed beef or pork)
- Beef. (Preferably grass-fed)
- Pork. (Preferably organic)
- Egg yolks. (Preferably organic)
- Chicken. (Preferably organic)
- Ghee-purified butter. (Preferably from grass-fed beef)
Medication use after a heart attack is often essential, but at low doses and for short periods! (This is not the case in reality.)
Cardiac catheterization and bypass surgery( essential and lifesaving) resolve a mechanical blood flow problem, but it does not cure the patient's compromised immune system.
- Common medicines used to treat coronary heart disease include blood clotting inhibitors, beta-blockers (to prevent arrhythmias), blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering drugs, hypertension, coronary vasodilatation, depression, sleep, anti-inflammatory drugs, and many others.
- Heart disease patients usually have additional complications. The average cardiac patient's medicine cabinet includes ten drugs for regular use.
- The most common cause of death is coronary heart disease. Still, the leading cause of mortality is the excessive use of drugs that manifests in unimaginable damage to the immune system.
- Patients with coronary heart disease who take high-dose drugs did not live a healthy lifestyle before the disease's onset usually suffer from other complications—the modern age with poor nutrition loads heavily on the liver and kidneys. Prolonged high-dose drugs destroy the liver and significantly weaken the immune system.
Coronary Artery Disease's fundamental underlying causes. (Body, Mind, and Spirit.)
Pathogens as a cause of CHD outbreak.
- Pathogens are not the cause of chronic diseases; they are only catalysts and triggers. The fundamental cause is always a weak immune system.
Lifestyle vs. Genetics.
- An unhealthy lifestyle (Mental and physical) is the leading cause of CAD. (80% or more). Genetics explains only a small part of the failures. (20% or less.)
- One of CAD's leading causes is - Traumatic, Non-resolved mental & spiritual events from the past. (Usually subconscious) It can cause low life-force energy flow. Blockages in the flow of life-force energy have far-reaching physical and mental effects.)
Physical Body.
- An unhealthy lifestyle reflected in Improper nutrition, high body toxicity, low physical activities, and exposure to the sun, lack of sleep manifests itself in:
- The low flow of body fluids. (Blood, lymph, bile.)
- Gut flora imbalance and parasite overgrowth cause a heavy load on the immune system.
Mind and Spirit.
Happiness, Love, Satisfaction, and other positive emotions charge life-force energy.
Anxiety, Stress, disappointment, hate, fear, guilt, envy, and negative emotions deplete the life-force energy.
- Traumatic, Unresolved mental and spiritual events from our past (usually subconscious) can cause low life-force energy flow. (Blockages in the flow of life-force energy have far-reaching physical and mental effects.)
The combined effect of body, mind, and spirit.
- A long list of symptoms. (Physical & Mental.)
Prognosis.
- Recovery occurs only when all the causes of the disease (mental and physical) are resolved and eliminated.
- Symptomatic treatments usually cannot cure the patient, as they do not eliminate the disease's causes.
The perception of the human body as a dual, physical, and energetic entity is essential to recovery.
"To live is to have Qi in every part of your body." To die is to be a body without Qi. For the health to be maintained, there must be a balance of Qi."
- By nature, we are focused on the disease we suffer from. Still, it is essential to discover the mechanism common to all non-genetic long-term immune failure diseases to understand and heal them.
- Understanding the entire process will help us recover from illness, improve our health, and prevent future diseases.
- It is essential to understand that the body never works randomly; there is a reason why the heart and not other organs are damaged, for example!
- Recommended link: The 4 groups of long-term immunodeficiency illnesses.
The seven human Chakras (Energy Centers) and organs represent respective influential emotions.
Young heart patients (ages 40-45 and under) who are not significantly overweight must consider the mental dimension of unresolved traumas related to the fourth energy center. (Heart Chakra)
Note: Only Traumatic, Non-resolved mental and spiritual events from our past may block the life-force energy. (Traumatic resolved mental and spiritual events do not block the energy centers.)
Self-healing medicine works on the physical body as well as mind and spirit to eliminate the causes of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Nutritional recommendations for CAD patients.
Recommended link: The balanced-varied diet is the most suitable anti-inflammatory diet.
Very few CAD patients have proper diets and eating habits, even though many believe they eat healthy!
Introduction.
- Fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and natural sugars are needed; completely denying one of the macronutrients is wrong.
- The need for various foods (mainly from plants) allows the body to get all the nutrients (enzymes, minerals, electrolytes, dietary fiber, antioxidants) through food and drinks. High-quality and varied foods and sun-controlled exposure almost eliminate the need for sometimes harmful supplements and absorb less than quality food.
Cad patients may suffer from severe farting.
- Imbalances in intestinal flora often manifested themselves in farting. Farting during the recovery period is often a positive sign! (Contrary to what is commonly thought) they reflect attempts by good bacteria to control the parasites. (Dead parasites release gas.)
- Taking control of the good bacteria over the parasites is usually accompanied by much farting. This process can take several months. There is no need to panic and see the recommended diet as if it failed. On the contrary!
Recommended food:
- Start your morning by drinking one cup of squeezed lemon juice with lukewarm water. (It is even better if you add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar + one tablespoon of olive oil.)
- Vegetables, seeds, sprouts, roots, nuts, legumes, beans, lentils, mushrooms, fruits, and berries.
- Moist low-medium glycemic index starches such as rice, sweet potato, taro root, and spelled quinoa. (You better add a teaspoon of coconut oil, ghee-purified butter, or other natural oils for better absorption.)
- Organic range-free eggs (especially egg yolk) are excellent emulsifiers due to their high lecithin content. (Good quality egg yolk has an orange color.)
- Egg yolk is rich in vitamin D3.
- Eat wild deep-sea fish two to three times a week. (They are less contaminated and also have a high omega-3 content.)
- Fish is easy to digest and does not create a very acidic environment in the intestines.
- Berries are among the most potent antioxidants, and they can be combined with fruit, goat yogurt, cinnamon, and walnuts. (Like all probiotics, yogurt may cause gas bloating, which is usually a good sign.)
- The liver, in particular, benefits from all-natural bitter foods. (Such as grapefruit and dark chocolate.)
- Dietary fiber (found only in plant-based diets) is essential for gut recovery. It might cause a reaction like gas bloating. (Fiber helps to feed the good bacteria.)
- Fermented products with natural live bacteria, such as goat yogurt or natural kombucha, are essential for good health.
- Consuming high-quality fats like Olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, Ghee (purified butter), and coconut oil, together with fiber, helps lubricate the lining of the intestinal walls. It is essential for replenishing the good bacteria and helping regenerate intestinal wall tissue.
- Regular eating of bone marrow (possibly in soup) is especially recommended.
- Consuming Iodine regularly (for proper thyroid function) is essential. (The easiest way is to consume Himalayan pink salt.)
- Consuming sulfurous foods such as avocado, onion, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale is recommended to strengthen the immune system.
Which bread is the healthiest? (Sprouted bread, rye, spelled, or whole flour sourdough bread.)
- Healthy bread is dense and tends to be massive. (Especially bread made without yeast.)
- Bread with low gluten is best. Most healthy bread has low gluten. (Although not zero percent gluten)
- There are many bread recipes. Most people do not bake their bread, so buying bread from a reliable source is essential. The best are small specialized bakeries that deliver organic whole-grain sourdough bread.
- Sprouted bread is most recommended for everyone. Sprouting releases enzymes that break the grain shell. Sprouted bread has low gluten and is much easier to digest because enzymes start breaking the grain shell. (which is hard to digest)
- Low-calorie bread is less dense and weighs less. Heavy bread makes you feel full faster.
Minimize eating white flour and yeast bread; it disturbs the gut flora balance.
Recommended beverages:
- Water, tea (without sugar or milk), black coffee (without sugar or milk), and freshly squeezed juice. (It should not be too sweet.)
- Drinking fresh juice may cause gas bloating. It is inevitable and part of the recovery process.
Due to intestinal wall damage, appropriate discipline in eating and drinking is required.
- Until symptoms significantly improve, the list of foods and beverages not recommended is quite long, but that should not surprise anyone.
- Eating cooked, soft, warm, and moist food is recommended. (Easier to digest)
- The additional nutrients that the body needs for recovery will come from drinking natural, fresh-squeezed juices.
Food and beverages are not recommended—Minimize consumption.
- All Processed food, smoked food, preservatives, and canned food. (Huge category.)
- Soft drinks of all kinds, including diet beverages.
- Plain sugars and high glycemic starches. (Such as white flour products, potatoes, white bread, biscuits, cakes, etc.)
- Eating high doses of sweet fruits. (Grapes and watermelon, especially, contain glucose.) Sugars can create an imbalance in gut flora.
- Trans-fats (found in many industrialized products) like Margarine are very harmful.
- Yeast bread. (Sourdough bread is much better.)
- Dairy products are unsuitable for heart patients because they contain too many proteins and create an acidic environment in the intestines.
- Goat's milk or yogurt is much better. (Limited quantities.)
- High gluten content products. (Gluten protein is found in most cereals. Gluten tends to adhere to intestinal walls and will probably aggravate symptoms.)
- Reduce meat and poultry consumption by 50% or more. (Meat and poultry are hard to digest, creating a high-acidity environment in the intestines.)
- Leafy greens. (Until significant relief in symptoms. They tend to stick to the inflamed intestinal walls.)
- Spicy, hot foods are usually beneficial, but they may worsen symptoms. (Dead pathogens release toxins and gas due to the Herxheimer effect.)
- Eating large amounts of carbohydrates and animal proteins is not recommended. (This is especially true for meat or dairy products with potatoes or other high-glycemic starches.)
Recommended eating habits.
It is advisable to eat two main meals a day plus snacks (for those who need them). Dinner should be easy to digest and early, maximum up to 7 in the evening, because most tissue regeneration occurs during sleep. The digestive system needs constant rehabilitation; prolonged breaks between meals are preferable to continuous eating.
- Minimize eating away from home, preferably taking home food to work and not buying outside.
- Prepared food deliveries are a terrible alternative! They contain processed and industrialized food at the most harmful levels.
- Chew well, take a break, and eat comfortably.
- Do not eat late at night.
- Intermittent fasting (not with zero calories) has many benefits.
- Fresh vegetables should be sprinkled with olive oil or other oils such as hemp or flaxseed.
- Add a little fat with a higher melting temperature, such as coconut oil or Ghee butter, boiled or baked starches, or vegetables. (Although they are saturated fats.)
- Especially after a meal that includes animal protein (which is more difficult to digest), it is recommended to take a short 20-30-minute walk at a moderate speed. Walking helps the digestive process.
We eat with all our senses, so filling the plate with various vegetables seasoned with oils and spices is desirable. (This includes aromatic salt.)
List of main self-healing principles and guidelines concerning CAD. (In one sentence each.)
Introduction.
- Changing one's lifestyle is usually the main obstacle to achieving recovery. But the rewards are outstanding.
- CAD patients should adopt the available treatments & nutrition recommendations that best suit their condition.
- Do not underestimate the importance of the mental & spiritual parts.
Harnessing the extraordinary capabilities of Self-Healing.
- Our body, mind & spirit are reflections of each other.
- The influence of our mind & spirit on our physical body is immense.
- I prefer to call it Complementary Alternative Medicine. (CAM) "Self-healing functional medicine."
Recovery from CAD - The Holistic approach of self-healing.
- The location of symptoms does not necessarily reveal the main problem.
- A single organ or system cannot be cured independently of the rest of the body; the immune system must recover.
CHD-specific, Self-Healing lifestyle recommendations.
- Try to minimize your medication intake. (It all harms the immune system.)
- It is advisable to reduce medication gradually. The first period after dose reduction is the most challenging, as the body needs to re-adjust.
- Do not expect support from the attending physicians!
- Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages (including beer and wine) are not recommended, as they damage the immune system.
Basic eating habits.
- Chew well, take a break, eat comfortably, and do not eat late at night.
- On an empty stomach each morning, squeeze one lemon and drink it with lukewarm water. (You can add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.)
- Intermittent fasting (not with zero calories) has many benefits.
A good night's sleep, moderate exercise, and sex are essential for recovery.
- Sound 7-8 hours of night sleep.
- Regular physical moderate exercise is essential.
- Despite the disease, there is no reason to avoid sexual activity (adjusted). Sex strengthens the bond between spouses and recharges life-force energy, which is essential for recovery.
The self-healing allegedly paradox - A few symptoms during recovery may be more severe, but other symptoms disappear!
- Be aware that self-healing has ups and downs; it does not indicate it does not work. The last stage might be the hardest because the immune system becomes more responsive. (Light fever and fatigue during the self-healing process are usually signs that recovery takes place.)
Mental and spiritual enhancement principles. (Often underestimated.)
Link: Self-Healing Medicine – Main principles and guidelines.
- Lifestyle changes, with more relaxation and sleep.
- Releasing Non-resolved stressful events from the past. (To restore the life-force energy flow.)
- Acupuncture can open energetic blockages that originate in mental sediment.
- Hypnotic therapy for releasing past unresolved traumas is recommended for patients with severe coronary heart disease.
- Strengthening positive emotions and faith.
Summary, conclusions, and recommendations.
Many essential processes in the human body need cholesterol as a building block. (Membranes of cells, hormones, vitamin D)
- High cholesterol levels in the blood usually indicate the need for massive repair of damaged tissue, most often resulting from inflammatory processes. (As was the case in my case) The primary cause of cholesterol buildup on the coronary artery walls is inflammatory processes that impair arterial elasticity, plaque accumulation, and calcification.
- Much evidence shows that pharmaceutical companies' lobbies have created fear, leading patients to consume unhelpful and harmful drugs.
Implementing the Kübler-Ross behavioral model regarding Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is essential for recovery.
- Coronary heart patients usually skip the denial stage of their illness and move on to the anger and bargaining stage (why this happened to me). Still, the harsh reality quickly puts most patients into the depression phase!
Coronary Artery Disease is the leading cause.
- An unhealthy lifestyle (Mental and physical) is the leading cause of CAD. (80% or more). Genetics explains only a small part of the failures. (20% or less.)
Medication use after a heart attack is often essential, but at low doses and for short periods! (This is not the case in reality.)
- Cardiac catheterization and bypass surgery( essential and lifesaving) resolve a mechanical blood flow problem, but it does not cure the patient's compromised immune system.
Like all other organs, the heart can recover and repair cumulative damage (given the appropriate conditions).
- Using the self-healing method, restoring the immune system can damage coronary artery regeneration by strengthening the body, mind, and spirit.
- Given the proper conditions, all organs in the body (even the brain) can repair damaged arteries and myocardial tissue.
- The closer the patient's age to the outbreak, the shorter and more accessible the treatment will be, and vice versa.
- If you seek advice from doctors about self-healing methods, do not expect your doctor's support!
Economic aspects.
- The economic burden of doctors, drugs, and treatments is sometimes very high. (In my case, the expenditure was exceptionally high.)
- Despite the enormous expenditure on food and juices, the savings on medicines and doctors, not to mention the suffering and low quality of life, investing in self-healing is incredibly economical in the long run.
Self-healing is like "Performing miracles." Every human being has this capability. It just needs to be revealed.
- An excellent marital relationship will make a recovery much quicker and more comfortable. Love plays a significant role in the recovery process.
- Following the principles & guidelines of self-healing medicine will cure the entire body mentally and physically. (Including both bacterial and Non-bacterial prostatitis.)
- The main drawback of self-healing is the need for changes in lifestyle & habits. The transformation is enormous in every aspect.
- After symptoms improve, continuing a controlled lifestyle and diet is essential.

I wish all Coronary heart Disease patients good health and a better quality of life.
Chronic heart disease is a clear reflection of the modern age. Advanced drugs and surgical procedures have been unable to correct prolonged unhealthy lifestyles and diets.
