Hole in Heart & Other Cardiovascular Disorders - Diabetes - HBP

Hole in the Heart? 

A ventricular septal defect (VSD), a hole in the heart, is a common heart defect that's present at birth (congenital). The hole occurs in the wall that separates the heart's lower chambers (septum) and allows blood to pass from the left to the right side of the heart. The oxygen-rich blood then gets pumped back to the lungs instead of out to the body, causing the heart to work harder. A small ventricular septal defect may cause no problems, and many small VSDs close on their own. Larger VSDs need surgical repair early in life to prevent complications.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of serious heart defects often appear during the first few days, weeks or months of a child's life. Ventricular septal defect symptoms in a baby [adult?] may include:

·         Poor eating, failure to thrive

·         Fast breathing or breathlessness

·         Easy tiring

Signs and symptoms vary depending on the size of the hole and other associated heart defects. If the defect is small, symptoms may not appear until later in childhood — if at all. Sometimes a VSD isn't detected until a person reaches adulthood. Signs and symptoms can include

·         a heart murmur

·         shortness of breath

Cause Congenital Heart Defect

Congenital heart defects arise from problems early in the heart's development, but there's often no clear cause. Genetics and environmental factors probably play a role. VSDs can occur alone or with other congenital heart defects.

During fetal development, a ventricular septal defect occurs when the muscular wall separating the heart into left and right sides (septum) fails to form fully between the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).

Normally, the right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen; the left side pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. A VSD allows oxygenated blood to mix with deoxygenated blood, causing the heart to work harder to provide enough oxygen to the body's tissues. It's also possible to acquire a VSD later in life, usually after a heart attack.

Treatment Congenital Heart Defect

Some smaller ventricular septal defects are closed surgically to prevent complications related to their locations, such as damage to heart valves. Many people with small VSDs have productive lives with few related problems.

Medications

Medications for ventricular septal defect may include those to:

·         Increase the strength of the heart's contractions. Examples include digoxin (Lanoxin).

·         Decrease the amount of fluid in circulation and in the lungs. Doing so reduces the volume of blood that must be pumped. These medications, called diuretics [water pill] include furosemide (Lasix).

·         Keep the heartbeat regular. Examples include beta blockers (Lopressor, Inderal LA, others) and digoxin (Lanoxin, Lanoxin Pediatric).

Effect of Garlic on Cardiovascular Disorders: A Review

Introduction:

Effectiveness of garlic in cardiovascular diseases was more encouraging in experimental studies, which prompted several clinical trials. This review has attempted to make a bridge the gap between experimental and clinical study and to discuss the possible mechanisms of such therapeutic actions of garlic.

Dietary factors play a key role in the development of various human diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies have shown that diets rich in fruits, herbs and spices are associated with a low risk of cardiovascular disease.

Garlic has attracted particular attention of modern medicine because of its widespread health use around the world, and the cherished belief that it helps in maintaining good health warding off illnesses and providing more vigor. To date, many favorable experimental and clinical effects of garlic preparations, including garlic extract, have been reported.

These biological responses have been largely attributed to i) reduction of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and cancer, ii) stimulation of immune function, iii) enhanced detoxification of foreign compound, iv) hepatoprotection, v) antimicrobial effect and vi) antioxidant effect. This review has been made indicating an overall view of the efficacy of garlic in cardiovascular disease conditions both in human and animals.

Raw garlic homogenate has been the major preparation of garlic subjected to intensive scientific study, as because it is the commonest way of garlic consumption. Raw garlic homogenate is essentially same as aqueous extract of garlic, which has been used in various scientific studies.

High Blood Pressure

A general definition of hypertension is a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 mm Hg or higher or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 mm Hg or higher or both. Prevention and proper management of hypertension decreases the incidence of related morbidity and mortality. Diets high in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products; have been shown to reduce hypertension. Increased consumption of garlic is associated with lower incidence of hypertension in population.

Results HBP-Garlic

Blood pressure lowering effect of garlic on human is given in Table- ​Table-4.4. Blood pressure reduction was observed in 85% of the patients, the average decline being 12.3 mm Hg systolic (SBP) and 6.5 mm Hg diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, over one-quarter of the subjects experienced a decline in SBP of 20 mm Hg or more.

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Abnormalities in the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, and fat are also present [122]. Nutrition plays a primary role to control blood glucose level and further complication.

Results Diabetes and Garlic

Hypoglycemic effect of garlic in human is not well studied. Chronic feeding of garlic oil and garlic powder [78,135] showed significant decrease in blood glucose level whereas some other studies [57,117,136] showed no change of blood glucose level. Relatively few side effects were reported in clinical studies using garlic and its preparations. Most of the reported side effects were non-specific. Gastrointestinal discomfort and nausea were the most frequent complaint [170].

Conclusions

Epidemiological study shows an inverse correlation between garlic consumption and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease progression [180–182]. The wealth of scientific literature supports the proposal that garlic consumption have significant cardioprotective effect, which include both animal and human studies. But certain issues regarding the proper use of garlic, i.e use of different preparations available, dose, duration and interaction with generic drugs should be optimized. Further research should also be carried out to identify specific compounds from garlic or garlic products that are responsible for most of its biological effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC139960/

Spots on Liver & Severe Spinal Stenosis

Liver Function/ Pathology                                                                                                                      Understanding liver function is important to see the potential links between garlic and supported liver health. The liver is the largest internal organ in your body, and it boasts an impressive list of vital functions. It's responsible for filtering toxins out of your blood, production of blood proteins and the digestion and production of fats. The liver regulates your body's supply of glucose and stores extra as glycogen. When the liver becomes diseased, its functions diminish, impacting nearly every other system in the body.

Spots on Liver

Imaging studies of the liver, including ultrasound, CT and MRI scans, allow doctors to visualize the structure and texture of the organ. Liver tissue normally has a uniform appearance on imaging scans. A spot on the liver -- also known as a hepatic mass -- describes a solid area that appears different from the majority of the liver tissue. Infections, inflammatory reactions and various types of noncancerous and cancerous tumors can appear as spots on the liver.

Hepatic Hemangioma

A hemangioma is a noncancerous tumor composed of abnormal blood vessels that form during development in the womb. Hepatic hemangiomas are the most common type of noncancerous liver tumor. These tumors occur more commonly in females than males and may present at any age, although most come to light during adulthood. Most hemangiomas are small, do not cause symptoms or interfere with liver function, and are discovered incidentally.

Focal Nodular Hyperplasia

Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is the second most common type of noncancerous liver tumor. It occurs due to localized overgrowth of liver cells, or hepatocytes, and associated blood vessels in an otherwise healthy liver. As with liver hemangiomas, these tumors affect women more commonly than men, generally cause no symptoms, and usually come to medical attention coincidentally. FNH does not impair liver function and typically requires no treatment. Removal is sometimes recommended for large tumors, although this is rare. http://www.livestrong.com/article/190859-causes-of-spots-on-the-liver/

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation has a positive and negative effect in your body. The positive side it helps your body respond to stress. But chronic low-grade inflammation is thought to be one of the leading causes of disease, premature aging, and illness.

When you get a cold, your body responds with inflammation in the form of a fever that helps you heal. The inflammation does its job, gets rid of the virus, and disappears. But if your immunity is compromised and your body is constantly stressed, you might experience chronic low-grade inflammation that leaves you more susceptible to illness and disease.

Garlic has long been a folk remedy for colds and illness, and its anti-inflammatory properties are amazing! Garlic contains sulfur compounds that stimulate your immune system to fight disease.

Sulfur                                                                                                                                                                                     Sulfur plays an essential role in collagen production garlic is a food rich in sulfur. Collagen is needed to form cartilage tissue, which cushions joints. The sulfur in garlic helps to repair cartilage and reduce muscle and joint pain by producing an anti-inflammatory analgesic effect on the affected joints. http://www.livestrong.com/article/108811-arthritis-garlic/

Inflammation & Infection

Garlic is a very powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti pathogen substance. It is the heavy artillery when it comes to destroying any type of infection. This makes it one of the most useful remedies for inflammation.

When any dangerous infection is present, garlic is the first herb on the list. For any infection, anywhere in the body garlic can and should be taken internally. When serious infection is present anywhere, start with a minimum of 3-5 cloves of raw garlic per day. http://www.all4naturalhealth.com/anti-inflammatory-herbs.html

Help [Liver] Purge Toxins

Detoxification or removing the “bad stuff” from the body is a key component to health and longevity. There are many foods, herbs and drugs that are in the arsenal of a holistic patient and their doctor’s tool kit to help the body detoxify in a natural manner. Garlic is one of the most important! Garlic a super-food has two major functions:

·         A super detox food supporting many liver enzymes, the body’s manufacturing of glutathione and other factors critical for detoxification including multiple sulfur compounds and bio-active selenium.

·         Garlic is the most effective broad spectrum anti-microbial agent possessing 39 different anti-fungal, bacterial, parasitic and viral agents.

To be most effective in reducing the “bad bugs” garlic 2-3 times a day is recommended (keeping the blood levels up). Non-organic garlic will absorb toxins. http://info.nihadc.com/integrative-health-blog/bid/34791/The-Power-of-Garlic-a-Detoxification-Super-Food                                                                                                                                                                                                   

How Much?

Eat garlic until you reek then back off so that you are not socially unacceptable.

 Severe Spinal Stenosis

What is Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine to your arms and legs. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/spinal-stenosis/basics/definition/con-20036105 

L5-L6 Severe Stenosis

Lumbar spinal stenosis often affects the last three levels of the low back: L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1. Sometimes more than one level is affected. https://www.spineuniverse.com/conditions/spinal-stenosis/lumbar-spinal-stenosis-2  

Red areas illustrate spinal cord/nerve root compression caused by Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Steroid Injections

Your nerve roots may become irritated and swollen at the spots where they are being pinched. Injecting a corticosteroid into the space around that constriction can help reduce the inflammation and relieve some of the pressure. Repeated steroid injections can weaken nearby bones and connective tissue, so only a few injections a year is suggested. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/spinal-stenosis/basics/treatment/con-20036105

Surgical Decompression

Injections for spinal stenosis have typically been used if and when these measures fail; however, there is recent data which questions the usefulness of injections. The primary fix for symptomatic spinal stenosis which has not responded to other measures is called surgical decompression. 

Injections of corticosteroids may help to alleviate the inflammation around a compressed nerve, but because these injections can weaken nearby bone and connective tissue, only a few injections a year are usually recommended, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Diverticulitis – Constipation – High Blood Pressure

Diverticulitis Cause  

Doctors aren't sure what causes diverticulitis. Bacteria grow in the pouches (diverticula ) and this can lead to inflammation or infection. Pressure may lead to a small perforation or tear in the wall of the intestine. Peritonitis, an infection of the lining of the abdominal wall, may develop if infection spills into the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity.

The reason diverticula form in the wall of the large intestine (colon) is not completely understood. Doctors think diverticula form when high pressure inside the colon pushes against weak spots in the colon wall. Uncoordinated movements of the colon can also contribute to the development of diverticula. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/diverticulitis-cause   

Inflammation & Infection

Garlic is a very powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti pathogen substance. It is the heavy artillery when it comes to destroying any type of infection. This makes it one of the most useful remedies for inflammation.

When any dangerous infection is present, garlic is the first herb on the list. For any infection, anywhere in the body, garlic can and should be taken internally. For infection based inflammation, garlic can be used externally as well. When serious infection is present anywhere, start with a minimum of 3-5 cloves of raw garlic per day. http://www.all4naturalhealth.com/anti-inflammatory-herbs.html

Garlic & Inflammation

Garlic has long been a folk remedy for colds and illness, and its anti-inflammatory properties are amazing. Garlic contains sulfur compounds that stimulate your immune system to fight disease. https://bodyecology.com/articles/top_ten_foods_that_prevent_inflammation.php    

The TONIC Nutritional Garlic Supplement contains concentrated amounts of garlic and provides all the power of raw garlic with no garlic breath and odor.                                                                 

Herbs for Diverticulitis

Garlic has this property of helping and improving the digestive system. It is also useful to remove harmful substances from the body when taken in adequate quantity. Taking a clove of garlic for 1-3 times a day will soothe and help to prevent your condition from worsening.

Papaya is another home remedy for diverticulitis which is commonly used for helping in digestion. This fruit is the only one containing a natural digestive aid known as papain, which cleans the digestive track.

Pear You can use this fruit to soothe the inflammation. Usually they are eaten just like that but you can bake them or drink juice. Lemon juice and pineapple juice are also helpful.

 Brown Rice Most people in the world eat white rice but brown rice is far better for your digestive system if you

care. It is also rich in fiber and helps to reduce the inflammation in the colon. http://tbyil.com/Diverticulitis.htm

In fact, curcumin's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits can revolutionize your health from head to toe. Curcumin is so powerful that some are calling it the "natural remedy of the century." https://www.stopagingnow.com/curq8?gclid=CPKskpXiu9QCFU09gQodMVcJHQ

Constipation and Garlic

Garlic is among the best home remedies for constipation. Garlic is very good in treating as well as avoiding constipation. Garlic helps in stimulating intestinal movements. It can be chewed or can be incorporated in vegetable dishes and juices.

To cure chronic constipation eat fig in the morning (empty stomach). Fig is considered as a rich source of calcium and fiber. Alternatively you can boils figs in water and drink the water before going to bed. http://www.naturesbesthomeremedies.com/2011/09/home-remedies-for-constipation/

 

High Blood Pressure

Alan Tsai, Ph.D., Michigan School of Health has tested rats and humans for the effects of garlic on cholesterol levels. He fed test groups high cholesterol diets, with one group receiving garlic. Those who consumed garlic had cholesterol levels that rose about 4 percent, as opposed to those without garlic whose cholesterol levels rose 23 percent. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Natural-Health/1997-10-01/Lower-Blood-Pressure Naturally.aspx
