Fluid Retention Steals Your Health, Want To Stop It?

Fluid retention is such a big problem because the extra water in your system is in the way!  Oxygen and vital nutrients can’t get where they need to go!

When oxygen and other vital nutrients cant’ get where they need to go, you deteriorate!

If you don’t want your health to fade, watch for signs that you may be retaining water:

• When you press your fingernail firmly into your thumb-pad, does it stay deeply dented for more than a second or two?
• When you press the tip of your finger into the inside of your shinbone, does your nail make a dent?
• Do your ankles ever swell?
• Does your shoe size increase as you get older?
• Do your rings sometimes not fit?
• Is your tummy ever tight and swollen?
• For women, do you suffer from breast tenderness?
• Does your weight fluctuate by several pound within the space of only twenty-four hours?

You should be concerned if you recognize water retention symptoms, even if your doctor isn’t!

If your symptoms are mild, make sure you pay close attention to: Read more

Can Heart Disease Lead To Heart Failure?

Heart disease doesn’t get much news coverage unless someone famous dies of it.  We don’t wear pink ribbons to bring awareness to it either, but heart disease is still the number one cause of death in the western world.

You can have advanced heart disease and be unaware of it.  The first sign of heart disease many times is a heart attack.

Heart Attack is a major cause of heart failure!

Some treatments for heart disease actually contribute to heart failure!

The hundreds of patients that I saw over a decade rarely made significant changes in diet and lifestyle before being prescribed drugs, and soon after started experiencing side effects from those drugs.

Many of them had surgery as well.

Much quality of life is lost when health building efforts are abandoned for harsh drugs and traumatic surgeries. Read more

Is Water Retention a Recurring Theme In Your Life?

Sometimes water retention makes you uncomfortable for a few days to weeks and then it will seemingly subsides and leave you be until the next time it comes to visit.

But did you know that you could be carrying around 20 extra pounds of fluid and NOT EVEN KNOW IT?

That extra fluid is putting a heavy burden on your heart muscle!

Sally had been trying to lose weight for years.

She was very strict with her diet and made sure to exercise 3–5 times every week.

When she saw her doctor, he always said the same thing, ”eat less, exercise more.”

She wondered how in the world she could eat any less, and felt that the doctor must not believe her!

Each week without progress made it that much harder to continue starving and exercising herself.

Does Sally’s story sound familiar?

How You Get Rid of Water Off Your Ankles?

If you have water around your ankles, you have a significant fluid balance issue.

Can you see your ankle bone at all?  If not, you likely have water in your lungs.

Is there a gurgling or crackling sound when you breathe?

You may need medical care before you are able to discover the cause of the water on your ankles.

My friend Terry was at deaths door, before she got her answer.

What the Hell Is Heart Failure?

That is a very good question. While traveling around the Big Island of Hawaii to the homes of patients receiving oxygen, I met heart failure where it lives.

Many of these people said “heart failure? I don’t have heart failure.  My doctor said my heart is fine.”

I did my best to educate them on the symptoms of heart failure, so that they could see it in themselves, and so they could see how important it was that they make changes.

I have a close friend who recently had heart failure sneak up on her.

Terry has been living with diabetes for many years.

Some time ago, she began having trouble with her stomach. After a few weeks of stomach pain and diarrhea, she began retaining water.

That is when things started to spiral out of control.

“My biggest worry,” she said to me one day, “is that it is hard to breathe with all this fluid.” Read more
