WOMEN AND HEART DISEASE

The single greatest health risk for women, greater than stroke, breast cancer, and all other cancers combined, is heart disease.  Every woman has a 50% chance of dying from heart disease.  This as opposed to a 4% chance of dying from breast cancer.  The problem here is that the protective effects of estrogen in the premenopausal years effectively mask rhe risk factors in women until much later in life.

DOCTORS OFTEN FAIL TO RECOGNIZE SYMPTOMS

The classic symptoms of heart attack in men, such as pain radiating down the left arm, or severe chest pains, can affect women too, but much more often women have symptoms that doctors fail to recognize.  Undue fatigue, back pain, heart palpitations, pressure or pain in the upper abdomen, and sometimes, apparent indigestion, are more often the initial symptoms of heart attack in women.  Shortness of breath, tightness or tingling in the arm or lower chest are equally classic to women. 

The most significant factor to bear in mind is that heart disease in women tends to become apparent about 10 years later than it does in men.  And since heart disease is strongly associated with lifestyle, it is very important for every woman to begin looking at the key risk factors long before the onset of menopause.  Weight, exercise levels, diabetes, smoking, diet, all need to be carefully considered in every woman's progress through life.

CHOLESTEROL: WATCH IT BUT DON'T PANIC

There are numerous so-called "studies" out there exhorting everyone to lose no time in getting on cholesterol lowering statin drugs.  These drugs have even been proposed for children as young as eleven!  If you have tests and are told you need to begin taking statin drugs, our recommendation at LeQuadrillage is to lose no time in finding another doctor!    It's time to get together with an alternative physician.  One indisputable fact about statin drugs is that they have never ever been shown to benefit women!    Now would be a good time to digress for a while and go to our page Cholesterol Reality and give it a careful read.  While you're there, read our article titled When Your Doctor Pitches You a Statin, Don't Stretch To Catch it,  and if you're into reading a thoroughly comprehensive article on the subject, read the Newsweek  article, DO STATIN DRUGS DO ANY GOOD?  Then come back here.

Reading this material should leave you with a pretty good idea that, while it's important to keep your cholesterol in balance, the actual numbers returned on the tests should really occupy a secondary position of interest for you.  A very very good way of keeping your cholesterol in perfect balance is with this specially formulated, natural product.  Take it along with its companion balancing supplement and you should be a long way from ever needing to be concerned about heart problems.

MEDICAL ERRORS; HOW TO AVOID THEM

During the period of 2000 to 2003, 195,000 people died each of these years as a direct result of medical error. That's the equivalent of 390 jumbo jets full of people crashing into the remote regions of Antarctica each year with no hope of rescue for any survivors. This information comes from a Health Grades study conducted in 2004, which disputes earlier studies yielding much more anemic statistics.

And just recently, when asked, Dr Samantha Collier, vice president for medical affairs at Health Grades, said that "there is little evidence that patient safety has improved over the last five years. Besides the loss of life, the cost of medical errors in terms of lost income and production, disability, and health care now totals $17 to $29 billion annually.

Surgical gaffes like amputating the wrong leg make headlines, but we rarely hear of the mountain of other mistakes that occur in hospitals on a daily basis. Delays in diagnosis are a big problem, keeping a patient from receiving timely treatment. Incorrectly administered medications are another common problem as are the wrong prescriptions being dispensed. Fatal chemotherapy overdoses occur and patients under anesthesia die regularly.

While the present situation is intolerable, it is eminently fixable. And the medical profession is feverishly applying itself to do so. Many safeguards to reduce the likelihood of medical errors have already been implemented. Hospitals are beginning to use computerized prescriptions to ensure that pharmacists don't misread doctors' notoriously poor handwriting. Many doctors themselves are generating their prescriptions by computer. That's a start.

Anesthesiologists are demanding standardization of anesthesia equipment. The Food and Drug Administration is tightening its control of drug names to ensure that newly introduced drugs do not bear names that could be confused with drugs already in use. Congress has passed legislation ordering the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research to hunt for strategies to reduce medical mistakes.

This is all fine and good. But what is the average patient to do to ensure his own safety when seeking medical care? With health care being a decade behind other high risk industries in improving safety, it's important for every patient to be proactive in monitoring his own health care situation. Those who are too sick to do this themselves need to enlist the help of a family member or close friend. The good old days of simply putting yourself into the hands of your doctor are over. Here are some ways to protect against medical errors:

  1. Get the right doctor! Many women, for example, go to their gynecologist for answers to all sorts of maladies. Specialists are specialists for a reason.
  2. Don't schedule multiple appointments with multiple doctors. None of them will get to know you. Stay with one doctor until it becomes obvious that you're not communicating. Then don't hesitate to find another. And always evaluate the depth of attention given to your concerns and the thoroughness of the answers you receive. If you're uncomfortable with any of this, find another doctor. But don't bounce around back and forth between doctors. They won't fail to recognize this, and even the best of them will rapidly lose interest in you. Doctors are human, after all.
  3. Before you put on that paper gown, research the doctor.
  4. This is important! Keep close track of your medical history. Your doctor cannot possibly know everything about you, so provide as full a recap of your medical history as you can. Be sure to include any family history of illness.
  5. Double check any diagnosis. There are thousands of diagnoses, but the average doctor only sees about 250 of them in the course of a career. So don't be afraid to remind your doctor of the existence of other possibilities that may align with your condition.
  6. Understand that your doctor can make mistakes! DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR A SECOND OPINION! If the doctor balks, find another.
  7. When you get a prescription, start asking questions. What is it supposed to do? How does it work? Older patients especially are at risk here because many are on multiple medications and it is important that these drugs do not conflict with each other. The doctor needs to know exactly what the patient is taking! Hurried doctors often overlook these details and it is up to the patient to guard against inadvertently receiving the wrong, or inappropriate medication.. Get very clear and detailed instructions from the doctor - don't rely on the pharmacist for this - and do not be afraid to ask questions. Lots of them. Get informed! If the doctor won't answer, or hurries through, find another doctor. After all, he's billing out his time at about twelve hundred bucks an hour.
  8. Be sure your surgeon knows where to cut! Ask your surgeon to mark the incision while you're awake. Make sure you receive an antibiotic within one hour of surgery.
  9. Have a friend or family member along for every major procedure. This person should be thoroughly familiar with the issue and in a position to remind medical personnel of any potential problems that could be overlooked.
  10. Don't accept any invasive procedures simply on the say so of your doctor. Discuss the alternatives. Press for them! Many times the alternatives out there are acceptable, even preferable. Don't overlook them. 
AN EFFECTIVE PAIN RELIEVER TO REPLACE NSAIDS

There is a natural pain reliever available that compares very favorably with the common over-the-counter and prescription NSAIDs (non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory-drug).  Celebrex, and Aleve are among these drugs, which are being reported as causing heart attacks and stroke.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural compound derived from green vegetables.  It does not damage the heart or stomach.  Or any other opart of the body,  for that matter.  It is completely safe.  LeQuadrillage staff recommend it highly and urge you to try it in preference to your usual NSAIDs. 

Typically, for the relief of pain, you would take 2,000 mg twice daily.  For the best price available in premium quality, click on the bottle at left.

 

 

EXERCISE

Exercise is a subject that is treated over and over again in every health venue in existence and it's difficult to add anything to the mountains of information available.  No one is going to argue that exercise isn't good for you (although some of us might like to find a basis for doing that). Well, every time we get ready to downplay the value of exercise,  another group of facts pops up to stop us cold.

In 2000, the investigation of the effects of moderate exercise on health and longevity was commenced with a degree of earnestness never before seen.  Since then, more than 20 comprehensive studies involving more than 300,000 people have been conducted, with absolutely stunning results.  Among other benefits, it was found that moderate exercise can decrease risks for:

  • Heart Disease by up to 80%
  • Stroke by up to 34%
  • Diabetes by up to 50%
  • Colon cancer by up to 40%
  • Dementia by up to 50%

You will find the best cancer clinics in the world in Germany.  These clinics universally incorporate moderate exercise into their treatment protocols.  They do this, along with meditation, biofeedback, amd just plain positive thinking.  There is nothing like exercise to promote a positive attitude.There is nothing like exercise to help with meditation  And Yoga is probably the best place to start.  You don't need a lot of fancy equipment here and you can benefit greatly, no matter how out of shape you are. - Refresh, rejuvenate, and energize with just a few moments at Wai Lana’s  Relaxation Club.

MEASURING EXERTION

Dr Harvey B Simon, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School has developed a system to measure the value of everyday physical activities.  He calls the system Cardiometabolic Exercise Points (CME ) in points,  which assign values to various physical functions done over a fixed time period.  Dr Simon suggests that you can significantly improve your health with just 150 CMA points per day, or about 1,000 CME points per week.  Weight loss candidates need to increase  this effort to about double that, or 2,000 CME points per week.  Here are some of the CME points that are associated with moderate levels of effort over a 30 minute period:

  • Swimming     230
  • Golf (walking & carrying clubs 165
  • Yoga        130
  • Bowling   100
  • Aerobics     200
  • Ballroom dancing 150
  • Washing dishes 60
  • Jogging     200
  • Gardening 150
  • Walking     125
  • Tennis    200
  • Leaf Raking  130
  • Vacuuming   115

Fifteen minutes of sexual activity will credit you with 25 CME points.  Walking up the stairs for 10 minutes will give you 100, washing the car by hand is worth 100, cooking is 60, laundering or ironing for 15 minutes will give you 35 CME points.  You get the idea.

DEPRESSION

Depression is generally caused by by psychological stress coupled with an imbalance in mood regulating brain chemicals.  Occasionally, hypothyroidism or some other medical problem can cause depression as well.  And it is not uncommon for prescription drugs to be at the base of overwhelming depression  Drugs can trigger depression, they can exarcerbate it, they can interfere with its treatment.

DRUG SIDE EFFECTS AND DEPRESSION

We all know that drugs have side effects.  Headaches, sleepiness, muscle pain, rash, irritability, nervousness; they all often have their roots in the medication we're taking.  Many drugs can also alter mood and behavior by directly interfering with the neurotransmitters that regulate brain activity.  Sometimes these side effects show up shortly after a drug is taken.  Often it can take weeks for these effects to manifest themselves, when patients are no longer alert to, or looking for, side effects to occur.

ANTIBIOTICS

The function of neurotransmitters are adversly affected by antibiotics.  Brain chemicals such as seratonin,  acetylcholine, and dopamine can easily have their functions interupted by antibiotics, resulting in insomnia, anxiety, and depression.  If you have unexplained depression and are taking antibiotics, ask your doctor toswitch you. 

Upper respiratory and urinary tract infections are very often treated with drugs known as Fluoroquinolones.  These drugs include Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Floxin (ofloxacin),  Levaquin (levofloxacin), and Flagyl (metronidizole) which is used mainly to treat amoebic dysentary and bacterial vaginosis.  Getting your doctor to switch you to  an antibiotic from the tetracycline family will often correct a condition of depression.  Better yet, get an appointment with an Alternative Physician.  If you don't know any, contact us at LeQuadrillage and we'll refer you.  We'll need your zip code and as much information as you're comfortable in giving us - in complete confidence.  Vibramycine (doxycycline), or Achromycine V (tetracycline) usually do well, and Cleocin (clindamycin) performs well in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

BLOOD PRESSURE - HEART FAILURE DRUGS

ACE Inhibitors do not generally affect the Central Nervous System (CNS) and can be ruled out when looking for a reason for lowered mood, but Beta Blockers and Diuretics  cause fatigue and low energy.  Digoxin (Lanoxin) a drug widely used to help the heart pump better often affects the CNS with a resultant lowering of mood.  An Alternative Physician  can usually help you with this.

BLOOD PRESSURE SOLUTION

You will need to apply yourself to the solution and it will take you 4 to 6 weeks to bring your blood pressure down. If you have the will you can learn how here.

 

 

OSTEOPOROSIS

The standard, conventional treatment for osteoporosis is the administration of bisphosphonate drugs like Boniva, Reclast, Fosomax and others of that type.  In our view, that is the absolute worst thing you can do!  Bisphosphonate drugs work by killing the blood vessels to the bone, which eventually kills the bones themselves.  They turn brittle, and become subject to shattering like glass.  Surgeons love it.  They get to do lots of hip replacements.  There are better ways of dealing with osteoporosis.   You can receive comprehensive and reliable information about outstanding, natural osteoporosis combatants by clicking here.
