My Heart Hurts



My Heart Hurts

Yesterday my heart was really hurting.  I had pain in my jaw.  My left shoulder was aching as well.
I bet you know what those signs are telling me.  Its just that right now the hospitals do not want to treat anyone unless it's an emergency.   But the heart is kind of important don't you think?  Still I wanted to solve this problem myself and I did.  I went on line and looked up "natural blood thinners".
And within a fraction of a second I had my list.
  • Turmeric
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Cinnamon
  • Cayenne
  • Vitamin E (Almonds)
  • Aspirin
  • Ginkgo Biloba
  • Bromelain
So I got busy and juiced:
  • beet
  • carrot
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • turmeric
  • apple
Then I took one aspirin with my smoothy.
I ate a banana smothered in cinnamon along with some raw almonds from Mallorca.
Later, I had some canned sardines (omega 3) heavily coated with cayenne.
Made a tea that had ginger and turmeric in it.
At dinner a glass of red wine with a vegetarian stroganoff that my wife made (super yummy).
Watched a movie and went to bed.
This morning woke up with NO heart pain!
I love Goggle search.
I am a strong believer in You Are What You Eat 
and Let Medicine Be Thy Food and Food Be Thy Medicine.
It does not always work but at least give it a try if you have the time 
and the ingredients are easy to come by.  Sometimes natural substances work.
I believe natural remedies should be tried early and first but if they don't work then
doctors and pharmaceuticals are a must when your illness requires it.
