Jim Jenks HEART ATTACK AND HEART HEALTH
Many of you know I have had a heart attack. My options were: A. Wait for the next heart attack; or B. Make darn sure I do not
go through another heart attack. They carried me to a hospital in Fresno,
California and I refused going into ICU. I am NOT recommending this for you. Only after agreeing to see my family physician did they release me. They did not know I am my family physician.
I DO SOMETHING FOR MY HEART’S HEALTH EVERYDAY.
Wouldn’t you? I want to give you more information about the heart. Because of space, I am giving you the latest in heart remedies, exercise and stress
solutions.
I take CoQ-10 and Heart Protectors everyday.
Some other heart remedies are:
1. CoQ-10. Gets oxygen into the blood for
heart & brain.
2. Heart Protectors. Nutrition to build the heart stronger.
3. HRT Combination, Heart support. Nutrition
as a heart tonic.
4. Oral ChelatoRx. Removes excess plaque from the arteries, contains EDTA.
5. Cardio Rhythm. Maintains the normal heart rhythm.
6. Chinese Red Rice. Cleans out bad
cholesterol, without the side effects of statin drugs.
Exercise: You know you need to exercise; exercise is even good for the brain’s renewal. For those of you in hot country, go to an indoor mall and walk.
Stress: We are our own worst enemies. It is not stress that is bad but rather our reaction to stress. When God gives us a gift, it is usually wrapped in a problem. If you are focused on health, joy,
appreciation, family peace, meaningful relationships, then you should always
be making lemonade. My heart attack was pure stress and I am changing my
reaction to that.
Did you know: (from Dr. Whitaker’s Health & Healing) · There is not a single study showing that statin cholesterol-lowering drugs benefit anyone over age 70 or women of any age. Cholesterol-and blood pressure-lowering drugs are now being prescribed for children as young as eight. Losing just five to 10 percent of body weight (16 pounds average) can lower blood pressure by an average of 10/8. Although eating eggs may raise cholesterol levels to some degree, they do not affect the small, dense LDL cholesterol that pose the greatest risk of heart disease.
Garlic has multiple protective effects on the cardiovascular system. It lowers cholesterol, helps control blood pressure, improves circulation, and, according to a presentation at the April 2005 American Heart Association conference, may also improve the health of the arteries by reducing plaque accumulation.
NEW PRODUCT: NATURE’S SEA CALCIUM in capsules (Stock #1577-5) or powder (Stock #1576-9) · Provides a good source of naturally occurring, plant-sourced calcium. May help the body offset acidity. Contains prebiotic fibers shown to help increase the absorption of minerals. Offers a calcium-rich option to vegetarians.
JANUARY 2006 NEWSLETTER
Greetings Health Seekers,
Do you have a health challenge you’re working
through? As I read the newsletters from the medical doctors, I’m always
impressed how timely their messages are. Like.. Jim coming home from a
sheriff’s meeting and saying we need to increase our Vitamin C. Then reading
Dr. Whittaker’s paper on Vitamin C and cancer. And researching amino acids for
Ben, then finding an article in Dr. Whittaker’s November issue stating they
are the essence of life. Just some of it’s benefits include energy, heart
function, mood, erectile function, and memory. My own personal experience with
amino acids was very dramatic for me. I had itchy and weepy ear canals. They
literally drove me crazy and I would itch them even in my sleep. After 3 days
of taking a high quality full spectrum amino acid formula, the itching and
weeping stopped and has never returned. Pretty amazing!
Do you take acetaminophen (Tylenol)? It is
being reported on the news and researchers have confirmed that acetaminophen
can cause liver failure. If you consume alcohol in combination with
acetaminophen, the risk of liver toxicity is increased. Symptoms are pruritus
(itchy skin), jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes), dark
urine, upper right-sided abdominal tenderness (location of the liver), and
unexplained “flu-like” symptoms. If you are interested in more information on
this subject, we have the article in it’s entirety and it could be sent to you
or e-mailed to you.
We received an interesting article via e-mail
from a reliable source. Topic: Would you rather bathe in road kill & dead
animal fat or a safe, natural full body wash? The editor further comments that
the cosmetic industry obtains the #1 ingredient found in almost all of their
products: DEAD ANIMAL FAT! How could this not get my attention. After reading
about the processes of the rendering plant, I have vowed to use our
all-natural Sunshine concentrate. The complete article is available. Just call
or e-mail us.
Remember to refrigerate liquid formulas after
you have opened them. This will protect potency and give you longer life from
your product. Are you interested in sharing the herbs and natural health with
others? We’re looking for people who want to help others and to learn for
themselves and their families.
Call us. Good health, Linda & JIm Herbal Rose Metabolic Center

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE WIRLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Building up the immune system is of utmost importance right now.
Learning ways to prevent contagion is also important now.
"World Health Organization Tries to Allay Bird Flu Fears
By EMMA ROSS, AP Medical Writer
UPDATED Sept 30, 2005) GENEVA -
The World Health Organization moved Friday to revise alarming
predictions that a pandemic stemming from the bird flu virus ravaging parts of
Asia could kill as many as 150 million people. The U.N. health agency was
deluged with inquiries after Dr. David Nabarro _ named Thursday as the U.N.
coordinator for avian and human influenza _ cited the number during a news
conference at the U.N.'s New York headquarters. While WHO's flu spokesman at
the agency's Geneva headquarters did not say the 150 million prediction was
wrong, he emphasized that 7.4 million deaths is a more realistic estimate.
Scientists have made predictions ranging from less than 2 million to 360
million. Last year, WHO's chief for the Asia-Pacific region predicted 100
million deaths, but until now that was the highest figure publicly mentioned
by a WHO official. "We're not going to know how lethal the next pandemic is
going to be until the pandemic begins," WHO influenza spokesman Dick Thompson
said Friday. "You could pick almost any number" until then, he said, adding
that WHO "can't be dragged into further scaremongering." Experts agree there
will certainly be another flu pandemic _ a new human flu strain that goes
global. However, it is unknown when or how bad that global epidemic will be.
It also is unknown whether the H5N1 bird flu strain circulating in Asian
poultry now will be the origin of the next pandemic. But experts are tracking
it just in case, and governments across the world are preparing themselves for
such a possibility. Two factors will have a major influence on how many people
will die from the next flu pandemic, experts say. One is the attack rate _ the
proportion of the population that become infected. The other is the death
rate, or the proportion of the sick who die. Normal seasonal flu viruses have
an attack rate of between 5 percent and 20 percent, but a death rate of less
than 1 percent. Between 250,000 and 500,00 die from flu every year, according
to WHO. Based on evidence from the three pandemics that occurred during the
20th century, scientists have determined that pandemic flu strains tend to
infect between 25 percent and 35 percent of the population. The worst death
rate was seen in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. That killed 2.6 percent of
those who got sick, or about 40 million people. The other two pandemics were
gentler. The 1957 one killed 2 million and the most recent, in 1968, killed 1
million. Forecasts that change the assumed attack rate or death rate will
yield different predictions. Other assumptions, such as whether anti-flu drugs
will work against the virus, also would change the figures. WHO said Friday it
considers the most likely scenario to be a death toll of between 2 million and
7.4 million people. "That's because we looked at what happened in the 1918
pandemic. That caused the greatest number of deaths ever recorded from an
infectious disease in a single year, by far. More than the black plague, more
than any other infectious disease," Thompson said. "That was an extreme of an
already rare event. Pandemics normally have more modest death rates." When the
U.N. health agency advises countries on how to prepare for the next pandemic,
it uses the most moderate scenario likely to happen. It does not mean that a
more exaggerated scenario cannot happen, only that it is less likely, Thompson
said. "There is a limited amount of public health money available to countries
and we have to give them the best guidance on how to spend that money," he
said. The H5N1 strain of bird flu has swept through poultry populations in
large swaths of Asia since 2003, jumping to humans and killing at least 65
people _ more than 40 of them in Vietnam _ and resulting in the deaths of tens
of millions of birds. Most human cases have been linked to contact with sick
birds. But WHO has warned the virus could mutate into a form that spreads
easily among humans _ changing it from a bird virus to a human pandemic flu
strain. Associated Press Release.' "
