Listen, I get questions from time to time in regards to ginger, garlic, and lemon juices boiled down with apple cider vinegar. After boiling down 4 cups of this (1 cup of each), until you have 3 remaining cups of juice, you then add 3 cups of honey and mix well. Drink one spoonful a day.

This is supposed to aid in helping to keep your arteries clean and dropping the risk of heart attack. This is from a good friend of mine, and a great guy to boot. He’s well educated, very well educated actually, and has been a close friend of ours for several years now.

He, being from India, is into holistic healing. He doesn’t even take aspirin I don’t believe. He is into the herbal or natural treatments for most of his ailments. He’s a vegetarian as well and is very health conscious as a whole.

He is where I received the advice in regard to this “heart treatment.” It is a natural treatment. I’ve been taking this for over a year and a half now. I’ll tell you what my experience with this is, BUT, that’s all I can tell you, okay?

I’m not an MD, and don’t profess to be, yet I will pass on things I hear or read of from time to time. I too have become much more “open” in regards to the more holistic ways of treatments.

Anyway, since I started taking this, and I miss days occasionally, I do feel better. I had a massive heart attack on June 28, 2008. Fortunately, I survived, the Good Lord willing, and was put on 7, (Yep, 7) types of medication.

This continued until my wife Deb was diagnosed with breast cancer. Deb took chemo one time, and decided after much sickness, dizziness, loss of appetite, and in general not feeling good at all with her positivity level virtually non-existent, she chose to go to alternative treatment.

She stepped outside of the professional medical world and took charge of HER life, and did things HER way.

For those of those who don’t know, Deb was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer that had already moved to another spot below her tracheal tube. There were spots on her lungs as well.

Her diagnosis was it was terminal, no cure, and that yes indeed, her days were numbered. She was given 8-9 months without treatment (chemo and radiation), and MAYBE…4-5 years, IF they could get it into remission. This happening was a very, very, slim chance.

By choosing alternative treatments, some of which were juicing heavily, exercise, and a herbal treatment from Wyoming, she literally lived the exact type of lifestyle she’d lived her entire life. She also lived 14 and a half months, so we almost doubled her “expected time.”

She played with her grandchildren, worked in the garden, cleaned her home, and was just such a pleasure to be around. During this time, she never had so much as a cold.

Personally, if I was diagnosed with cancer, I’d do the exact same things that Deb did…and I’m VERY sincere in that statement.

But, Deb also stated frequently that she was not telling anyone to not do chemo by any means. Deb was only trying to let people know that in regards to your own treatments that you have to know IN YOUR HEART, the treatment you decide upon is right…FOR YOU!

Back now to the “heart treatment,” I got off all my heart meds the very same day that Deb chose to go alternative in regards to her cancer. Call it crazy, or whatever you’d like, but by her deciding upon alternatives, my doing so in regards to my heart meds was literally a show of support for her. If she could do it, THEN I could do it.

She was handed a death sentence and decided upon alternative (you can read more about Deb’s struggle in scattered other posts), so I thought to myself, “That took some guts, and I’m gonna do the same thing…and I did.

I also felt that if “Mr. D.” felt strongly enough about this treatment to share it with me, then it must have his “stamp of approval.” That too, was good enough for me., I mean, shoot, he’s been involved in holistic treatments his entire life.

This particular heart treatment came to me, through him, via India.

As curious as it seems to me, most comments or questions in regards to this “juice” come from that part of the world…India.

Here’s the latest…

Dear sir/Madam,
any one has tried for ginger, garlic, lemon, ACV and Honey for their family mamber?
If yes what are results?
Whether results are verified by angiography?
As it is related to heart(life), i think it should be confirmed because their is no second chance in heart function.
i think same email is forwarded by all without confirmation as good being.
most of viewrs had said that they will prepare and try but no one has replied after trying himself
i request you to please let us know if it is verified by clinical trials or have any reference in any books/research papers.

A couple other questions from the same person…

Dear jaya kumar sir,
have you tried? what are results?
what benifits your friend had?
arun, pune India

So here’s my answer…

Once more I have been taking this for a year and a half. As far as my health, I’m getting to be in excellent health, and continue to be getting into better health, “shape wise” daily.

Is this from the heart juice treatment? I can’t say. I believe this has had to have benefitted me some, BUT, I walk a lot anymore, most times with leg weights and doing curls with dumbells. I’ve started some weight training, and I am MUCH more heath conscious of my food intake. Probably more today than any time in my entire life.

I also juice daily over 20 different vegetables and fruits as well, just as Deb and I did after her diagnosis with cancer. Even though she did pass away, I continue “our juicing” daily. This too I feel is a tremendous nutritional boost to my body as well.

So, from a health perspective I’m doing several things to…get into better shape as a whole.

Have I been to my heart Doctor? No, not since Deb’s diagnosis, and still haven’t as of today. First off, Deb was my number 1 priority, and was, right up until the minute she left.

2, I just haven’t made an appointment since her death. I intend too, but again, I haven’t as of this post today. I have though, lost over 60 pounds, and I feel…GREAT! I probably will lose another 30 or so.

Clinical results?? No sir, I have none? Why don’t you ask your Doctor about this, or, maybe you are a Doctor?? I don’t know, but, all I can say is this, and it’s MY opinion, and my opinion only…do what your “heart” tells you to do in this, or any other treatment.

You state… “As it is related to heart(life), i think it should be confirmed because their is no second chance in heart function.”

Along with…

i request you to please let us know if it is verified by clinical trials or have any reference in any books/research papers.

Honestly, you’re asking for things I obviously do not have, okay. If you’d like to try it…try it. Once more, this was passed on to me from a good friend that I feel cares enough about me to send this to me, AND request I start using it.

Do I have clinical, medical proof? No, but I’ve been off of 7 heart meds for a year and a half, PLUS I feel better than I have in MANY years. Is this simply because of this treatment we’re discussing?

Probably not, BUT I surely don’t think for one second it has hurt me in any way shape or form.

If you are so inquisitive in this matter…look into it. Talk to your Doctor, or a research specialist. At least that would seem to be within reason, wouldn’t it?

I simply passed along what a very good friend of mine sent to me. Who by the way is a good enough friend that he is concerned for MY health, and sent this with the object of…helping me, surely not hurting me!

You’re also exactly right in your statement that in regards to heart health…there is no second chance, at least from the human standpoint, but there is a greater power that does get involved in this from time to time.

Now, I can talk to you about that statement a little bit because once more, I DID experience a massive heart attack.

The Doctor that treated me was talking to me afterwards, I was also lucky enough to have a stent placed instead of open heart surgery, and he stated that I had had the exact same heart attack that the news host Tim Russert had just a week or so prior to mine. The very same.

He said, “He had the same type of heart attack you had. The difference is that he didn’t survive, but you did.” My response… “God’s will.” The Doctor agreed wholeheartedly.

So you see, I can’t tell you what to do in your own regard. That is YOUR decision. This no different than Deb wanting to go the alternative route with her cancer. You have to do, what YOU have to do, or, what your heart tells you to do.

God has a plan for us all. When your clock winds down…you’re going home, whether we’re riding a bike, lying in bed, walk out in front of a bus, or experience a heart attack or stage 4 cancer. When God calls us home…we’re going home.

Why did I survive the same heart attack that killed Tim Russert? It was God’s plan, my friend, not my or your doing?

Another example of heart problems. This comes from a friend of Deb and I that used to always come to supper with a couple other friends of ours. These too are all good, good people.

This lady and I were talking a while back after supper. She had lost her husband a little over two years ago, from…heart disease. Her husband had been in and out of the hospital the previous two years with all types of heart surgeries and heart related problems.

This example I’m giving you now is but one other reason I personally, again, this is my opinion, but I am becoming more and more concerned over many of the meds and treatments we have prescribed to us today.

Western treatment today is basically…take this pill, and if that doesn’t work, then take this one, followed by three of these, and two more of this type.

You guys, where you live are more into the holistic end, not us Westerners, and once more I’m beginning to advocate less pill, and MORE natural. BUT, this is just ME!

Back to our friend…

They, when her husband’s time was approaching, were told to call Hospice. His time was getting close, and the reasoning behind his time drawing near was not heart failure…it was LIVER failure.

What in the world are you guys talking about they asked? Liver failure??? HOW?

The explanation…the medicines he had been being prescribed to help his heart…were destroying his liver! I couldn’t believe it when she told me this. She said they were both dumbfounded, and THIS was the FIRST time any liver problems had been mentioned to them.

Again, me personally…I’m beginning to like the looks of natural treatment. But again, that’s just me.

Well, thank you all for stopping back in today. God Bless you all, and please…keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Dub and Deb
