I was having left sided shoulder pain that I assumed was arthritis. I kept trying to treat it with my usual stuff for that issue for a couple months without results. I was meditating and realized that the pain extended into my heart! That got my attention. So I grabbed the CardioMiracle supplement that I had but hadnt been taking for a few months. Took it several times over maybe 24 hours and the pain was gone. I have been taking it off and on since then and the pain never returned. I was never tested but my father had heart disease. I think he had angioplasty.

CardioMiracle is a supplement that has many things like beet juice that are meant to boost nitric oxide in the system. I highly recommend it, with no commercial connection to it.

Strophanthus from Tom Cowan’s website could be a huge help for your doctor friend. Have you ever had a chance to see Tom Cowan’s YouTube called the heart is not a pump, strophanthus? That’s a great way to understand why I’m mentioning it.

Cardiovascular physiology is so well-established and coherent that these other theories make my head hurt, however, again, I am no expert.

That answer made me chuckle. Yes. Respectfully, that’s what many doctors would say about anything in a medical textbook but I think it’s always more interesting to question if established facts are correct. If you get a chance to read or skim human heart, cosmic heart or to watch the video I mentioned, I’d be interested in your thoughts.

I understand Dr Yoho's response...as a scientist the phrase "the heart is not a pump" made my head hurt over 10 years ago...but intrigued, I read Cowan's "Human Heart, Cosmic Heart" (an easy redpill). Discovered Weston Price, continued learning about injections (& Suzanne Humphries has a new edition of "Dissolving Illusions" now), then on to Steiner's work...oh dear, my vastly expanding brain was blowing! I'm glad I learned about that road less traveled back then.

I am a 72 year old woman, who has been using Bio Identical HRT for over 20 years. The HRT I use is a cream form, and is made by a compounding pharmacy where I live in SoCA. I will never give up my bio-identical HRT. I feel it contributes to my ‘libido and sexual desire’ still remaining strong.

And it really helps with my joints. (I know I have been between Compunding Pharmacies, and was without it for a week a few years ago. I felt like crap, my joints ached and could tell my body was missing those hormones.)

There is not a history of heart disease in the women in my family other than both my maternal grandmother and my mother both passed from congestive heart failure. Their hearts finally just stopped. They were 93 and 89 years old, respectively.

And as far as that ‘family history’ crap one’s primary care physician asks, that too is total BS. I always mark NO on everything on those stupid ‘health assessment questionnaires’ they give you!

re FH: exactly

Just because you are doing so well does not mean you could not do better. Read and study Hormone Secrets and consider another doctor to tune you up.

I keep hearing about compounding pharmacies and I don't know what these are, with respect to bio identical HRT. Could you please give a brief explanation -- 1) are prescriptions from a licensed doctor required; 2) do they mix up what you ask for, custom (like a recipe); 3) do they have their own formulations that you look over, and just purchase the one(s) that seem right for you (like over-the-counter medicine). Thanks for explaining something which might be basic, but which I would like to learn.

I avoid doctors and I'm an herbalist, so generally I make my own herbal formulations, but honestly have been very healthy so far.

Do an online search for "compounding pharmacies" in your area. Compounding pharmacies work from the prescription they get from your health care provider (probably a DO or Nurse Practitioner, because most MDs tell women that hormones are dangerous and they should suck it up and "age gracefully"), based on blood hormone level testing. The HRT can take the form of capsules, creams, or troches. The ingredients used are not synthetic, which means they're virtually identical to your body's own hormones. Prescriptions for anything containing testosterone require a valid state ID on file, because it's considered a controlled substance. Your health care provider will use periodic blood testing to fine-tune your prescription so that you get the health and wellness benefits you're after. Most insurance policies don't cover compounded hormone replacement therapy.

Lisa great explanation

Most bioidentical hormone prescribers are MDs

ACOG, the gynecology group, says blood testing is not necessary to treat menopause. If funds are limited, I agree, and when I was in practice, no one wanted to pay for it.

Dear Dr Yoho: I'm already taking extra Vitamin C, in the form recommended by Joseph Mercola, a "buffered" form that's called sodium ascorbate. Can that be used rather than ascorbic acid ? I don't seem to be able to find the liposomal version of sodium ascorbate to begin your regime. (Currently adding about 1K mg of C per day in the sodium ascorbate powder form.) THANK YOU for (mostly) understandable information! Blessings. Heather

Mercola has liposomal and ordinary C, which is ascorbic acid. His terms are no magic.

I like powdered C from the two bulk suppliers.

Thanks for the info - I've been using Swanson mainly and some from Amz for supplements. I'm thinking you say the liposomal aspect is more important than the buffering in the sodium ascorbate form (compared to ascorbic acid form)? And by "two bulk suppliers" do you have preferences? (I do know Mercola's products can be $$). I'm fairly new to supplementation, I'm reading as much as I can and as fast as I can.

I'm planning to get the DMSO book you recommended in the most recent post from last week, and get it all in and help my Son in law who's had some injuries due to activity in law enforcement - he was dragged about 100 yards by a motorist trying to flee (she was apprehended and he did accept her apology in court and forgave her - but that was more than 10 years ago and he still has foot and back issues from this incident). He's already on tumeric and did see an improvement from that.

Thank you so much for your clear and cogent writing and information.

May God richly bless you for sharing what you've learned.

I use bulk supplements, too. Some Mercola, but sometimes he also skimps on materials (i.e., what is "cobalamin"? Methyl or cyano, his B-Complex doesn't indicate, but it is in a glass bottle not plastic).

Hi, again, and thanks for the link, I'm reading it now. The bulk supplements site doesn't have dmso, either listed by the abbreviation or full name. Do you have a preferred site?

AND do you know of an earlier book by a Dr. Walker, called Nature's Healing? One of the comments on the book you recommended in the DMSO article you linked above mentioned it.

Thanks and A-dios! (Spanish for "go with God" if you didn't know that -- and "Goodbye" has similar roots!)

Hi. I have a certain degree of reticence because I am not a doctor. However, I am a partner in a biotech venture that is working on autologous organ repair, which was derailed because the mRNA shots wreak havoc on the cellular repair process, but we are working on gen 2.0. So I am involved tangentially in a lot of medical stuff, but I am not the physician.

I write about healthcare, health and healing on America Out Loud here: https://www.americaoutloud.news/author/rogier-fentener-van-vlissingen/

This is where I discuss a lot of the issues in a general sense. Take note of the discussion of the MCG test which can quantify the direct effects of lifestyle changes or any other therapeutic interventions.

Posts like this are worth studying rather than reading just once. I've saved and retitled it as, "Huge cardiac treatment failures and what to do instead".

It also hits home for me. I was fired from my job at a hospital for being very outspoken against our hospital lying to the public about the cause of a patient death: one of the on-call cardiac surgeons refused to get out of bed in response to an emergency call about a patient in the recovery ICU. A lie was fabricated in the administration board room to cover this up. I had two close associates who were in the meeting who told me that the reason the hospital was lying is because it was the last remaining profitable cardiac surgery center in our (very significant) region, and they couldn't afford to lose the public trust. I told my boss that if this was so important, perhaps they should EARN that trust.

Thank you, Dr. Yoho.

This is good because we can discuss our ailments openly and share what worked for us. I think Dr. Yoho mentions that many if not most or all of his suggestions have little or no record of possibly causing adverse effects.

I had a sudden onset of a set of symptoms that were fairly severe and concerning and I searched around and a medical health journalist told me to read up on something called "Leaky gut syndrome". I did and then I heard a radio show host on GCN network and his show was called "The Brightside" and the show host was sort of an expert on OTC supplements and vitamins. I cannot remember what he recommended, will have to look that up in my old records, but it almost immediately completely stopped by worrying condition.

"You must decide what to do with the help of your doctors—if you can find any you trust. "

Yes, I have been commenting on the trust issue lately. I have studied "false flag" attacks and "conspiracies" for many years and all the while have been trying to learn about hold on to my faith and religion.

I have spent much time studying the recent "pandemic" and "COVID-19 disease" and "SARS CoV-2" "virus."

Read this article today, that was pretty good but in a way seemed circular regarding just assuming the thing, the virus and the disease, they are trying to prove. (This is the logical fallacy called "begging the question.")

I had to look up what "functional" physician meant.

Here is a pretty good simple explanation.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/functional-medicine/about

One last thing, I think a "functional physician" can be a PhD and not an M.D. A functional physician cannot perform "surgery" and there are several kinds of "medical doctors" who do some kinds of surgery who are not M.D.s.

Are we confused yet?

May the Lord and Savior, Son of the living God, take care of us, each and every one.

For those who would like to try an inexpensive EDTA chelation - https://eartheracademy.com/course/edta-enema-for-heavy-metal-detoxification/ Much cheaper than suppositories. It is not hard to make suppositories but it is time consuming.

I have made my own EDTA cream and saved $$$ but I am going to try the enema protocol. That way I can dose at 1200-1500 mg. I can only get 450mg in a teaspoon of cream (which is a lot of cream) I copied EZDetox cream exactly and it works. FYI- If you have trouble getting Calcium EDTA to dissolve in water, add a little baking soda to hot water first and then mix in the EDTA.

I've read Poe’s short story "The Imp of the Perverse" recently with passages such as:

"In the case of that something which I term perverseness, the desire to be well is not only not aroused, but a strongly antagonistical sentiment exists.

There is no passion in nature so demoniacally impatient, as that of him who, shuddering upon the edge of a precipice, thus meditates a plunge."

Me too! I'm actually at it too but with acalaysia just relieved from the acute stage by a heller myotomy (after 40 years of this condition gradually worsening despite several dilitations, and one botox administration) I'm not risking that type of fast. I've done a Daniel fast (See Daniel 10:3) on occasions but for spiritual reasons, not health. I do recommend a fast of some sort to focus your prayer and meditation life (and the fast need not be from food/liquid - it can be a "fast" from anything you repeatedly do - visiting a certain website, from TV, from recreational reading, music, etc!) Y'all do you, but remember our Creator.
