Did You Know...
... that an Ayurvedic herbal remedy treats major heart conditions as effectively as the leading heart medications -- with none of their negative side effects?
 Terminalia arjuna is an enormous tree that grows wild throughout much of South Asia -- and its bark contains natural alkaloids and other chemicals effective in treating heart ailments and metabolic diseases.
This is good news for the many people who are worried about their current heart health -- and for the many others who are trying to guard against heart problems later in life. Heart disease is still the Number 1 killer of people in the U.S., despite the fact that recent decades have brought many advances in heart medicine, including open-heart surgery -- the procedure that most people hope they would never experience.
For more than 2,500 years, medical experts in India -- where Ayurvedic medicine is widely practiced -- have used the bark of the Terminalia arjuna tree to treat an array of heart conditions. Arjuna's role in the treatment of heart disease has been examined by medical researchers at the Institute of Medical Sciences in Varanasi, India, where it was proven that Arjuna powder extracts are indeed beneficial for people suffering from coronary heart disease. Arjuna also offers treatment benefits for . . . | Myocardial infraction Angina Coronary artery disease Heart failure Hypercholesterolemia Hypertension | One of arjuna's most remarkable attributes is that its treatment benefits can be reaped without the host of serious side effects associated with most Western pharmaceuticals prescribed for heart problems. For instance, isosorbide nitrate (or ISMN), a nitroglycerin-based pharmaceutical used to treat angina pain, can actually make angina pain worse, as well as cause the following health problems: | Headache Dizziness Weakness and Fatigue Warmth, redness, or tingly feeling under your skin Fast, slow, pounding or erratic heart rate Blurred vision or dry mouth Nausea or vomiting Faintness Shortness of breath and blue-tinged skin (due to oxygen deprivation) | Other heart drugs are associated with similarly distressing consequences. Arjuna, on the other hand, has proven in head-to-head comparisons with ISMN that it confers more benefit than the drug without any of ISMN's side effects.
In one study conducted at the Kasturba Medical College in Mangalore, India, researchers found that patients treated with arjuna experienced a 30% reduction in pain, compared to 27% for those treated with ISMN -- and with none of ISMN's adverse effects.
Another study conducted in 1995 and published in the International Journal of Cardiology examined arjuna's usefulness as a preventative treatment for currently stable angina. Results showed that arjuna was able to cut the rate of angina episodes by half!
Arjuna has other significant medicinal properties, as well, and has the proven capacity to: | Reduce body weight Decrease LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels Raise HDL ("good") cholesterol levels Improve congestive heart failure Protect against ischemic heart disease Prevent atherosclerosis Combat certain cancers Act as a general antibacterial | How Does Arjuna Work? Several substances in arjuna herb have very strong antioxidant benefits. Its stem bark possesses glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, and minerals. Flavonoids exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid lowering effects, while glycosides are cardiotonic, making arjuna unique among medicinal plants. In rodent studies these antioxidants also protect heart tissue from damage.
Even if you don't have serious heart concerns, you should consider adding Arjuna to your medicine cabinet. Arjuna acts as a tune-up for your heart; it supports cardiac function and normalizes blood pressure. It can also reduce the physical effects of stress and nervousness.
Recommended dosages of arjuna depend on the form. The easiest method of ingestion is to take one caplet daily before a meal. Arjuna is also available as: ==> A powder to be taken in doses of 3-6 grams 2-3 times daily
==> An extracted juice which is taken in doses of 10-20 ml 2-3 times daily with sugar, honey, or milk
==> A decoction to be taken in doses of 20-40 ml 2 times daily in a concentration of 1:2 |

Featured Topic: Why You Must Stop Using Commercial Sunscreens
Immediately -- and What Healthy Alternative You Can Use Instead There's a health catastrophe underfoot that's caused by chemical sunscreens.
It's unbelievable, but true -- doctors are reporting new cases of rickets, the childhood bone disorder that hasn't been seen since the 19th century!
 What's even more incredible is the fact that many experts point to sunscreen as a major cause. That's because rickets is caused by severe vitamin D deficiency, and sunscreen interferes with the body's ability to produce vitamin D from sun exposure.
Dr. Colin Michie, senior lecturer in pediatrics at Ealing Hospital in west London, told the Daily Express he's so worried about vitamin D deficiency that he's helping launch a new monitoring system for infants to prevent them from severe deficiency of the critical nutrient that is necessary for building bone health ... protecting the heart ... improving immunity ... protecting against type I diabetes ... improving and preventing asthma ... improving hypertension ... and protecting against cancer. Unfortunately, the American Academy of Pediatrics is still telling parents to slather their kids in sunscreen -- even though mounting research shows that not only do sunscreens prevent vitamin D production, but most also contain ingredients that actually increase the damaging effects of the sun's rays! These chemical cocktails can also . . . | Disrupt your body's hormone balance Lead to breast and skin cancers Injure your DNA Interfere with thyroid function Potentially contribute to male infertility Contribute to early puberty in children | Sun Protection Without Harmful Chemicals The truth, though, is you can enjoy the outdoors, get the vitamin D you need and the sunscreen power you want without putting yourself at risk. There is a safe natural alternative -- one that uses natural ingredients that filter unwanted sun ... but not all sun ... so that you can still get the sun's essential benefits without harming your health.
The tricky paradox is that overexposure to the sun can do damage and increase risk of some skin cancers. Skin cancer is still the most common cancer in the United States, accounting for nearly 50% of cancer cases. But if you try to protect yourself by slathering your skin in sunscreen, you might end up acquiring the sun damage you're trying to avoid. It's a Catch-22. So how do you get the sunshine you need without getting too much?
The research of Dr. Al Sears, founder and director of The Wellness Research Foundation, which conducts original research on natural alternatives to pharmaceutical therapies, has unveiled a solution.
Dr. Sears' research team identified the best natural ingredients for effective protection that would allow you to enjoy the sunshine without getting too much. His team turned to an herbal apothecary of more than 250 organic herbs used for research, education, and treatments, and developed a truly extraordinary natural sun protection cream without any of the dangerous chemicals found in most chemical sunscreens. How Dangerous Are Chemical Sunscreens? According to the annual report recently released by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a Washington-based nonprofit, nearly half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may actually speed up the development of malignant cells and make skin cancer spread faster because they contain vitamin A and its derivatives, retinol and retinyl palmitate.
EWG Senior Vice President for Research Jane Houlihan said, "Many sunscreens available in the U.S. may be the equivalent of modern-day snake oil, plying customers with claims of broad-spectrum protection but not providing it, while exposing people to potentially hazardous chemicals that can penetrate the skin into the body."
Not surprisingly, the FDA has long been aware of the risks of vitamin A in sunscreens and has been conducting studies proving it for more than 10 years. The FDA's latest one-year study found that lab animals coated in a cream with Vitamin A and exposed to sunlight daily developed skin tumors and lesions 21% sooner than the control animals with no vitamin A.
Meanwhile, University of California researchers discovered that oxybenzone -- a common sunscreen ingredient -- boosts the production of dangerous free radicals in your skin after just 20 minutes of sun exposure.
Perhaps the most ominous new research finding is that 97% of all Americans are actually contaminated with benzophenone-3 (BP-3), a toxic chemical that has been used routinely in sunscreens worldwide. Most people assume that you don't really absorb chemicals from topical skin creams, but studies show BP-3 is excreted from the body long after the sunscreen has last been used, which means that the chemical accumulates in the body. What's the Alternative to Chemical Sunscreens? According to the EWG, "The ideal sunscreen would completely block the UV rays that cause sunburn, immune suppression, and damaging free radicals. It would remain effective on the skin for several hours and not form harmful ingredients when degraded by UV light. It would smell and feel pleasant so that people use it in the right amount and frequency. Unsurprisingly, there is currently no sunscreen that meets all of these criteria."
After reviewing the evidence, EWG determined that mineral sunscreens have the best safety profile of today's choices. The formula Dr. Sears has developed meets all of the EWG criteria for an ideal sunscreen. Dr. Sears knew that most people don't want to paint their face and body white as was the custom with the old-fashioned zinc oxide creams. So he commissioned his research team to create something mineral-based that would go way beyond the EWG's ideal, offering not just a pleasant feel and smell, but extraordinary skincare as well. The result was a mineral sunscreen that was formulated in perfect balance, offering both protection and nourishment, with a blend of powerful moisturizers, nutrients, and antioxidants to promote softer, smoother skin.
According to a survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, 69% of Americans use sunscreen. If you presently use sunscreen, you must seriously consider what harm you're doing to your skin and your health in general. Since the FDA has failed to set enforceable sunscreen safety regulations for almost 33 consecutive summers, you must take charge of your own health by seeking a mineral sunscreen that doesn't pose the health threats that chemical sunscreens do.
