curing angina

can i ever be completely cured of angina ? I am 42 years old?

Hello Driver,

I’m sure you are aware of ischemic heart disease, which basically means that there are blockages within your arteries that are reducing blood flow to the heart – hence the chest pain. Although there are plenty of medications that can reduce the severity of the angina, they are simply masking the sypmtoms and not actually curing the cause of the problem.

I do believe that over a period of time you can drastically reduce the angina sypmtoms or quite possible eliminate them in there entirety if you are willing to make dynamic lifestyle changes. Dr. Dean Ornish has researched heart disease extensively and has devised a program for reversing heart disease that is widely accepted in the medical community. His program is not mainstream and prescribed by a majority of physicians for two reasons. 1st, most physicains are trained that there is a pill for every ailment, and there first course of action is to prescribe a prescription medication to alleviate the symptoms. And thats all the medication does, alleviate the symptoms, simply masking the problem without correcting the core of what is ailing you. The 2nd reason doctors do not frequently prescribe the program divised by Dr. Ornish for reversing heart disease, is because they justly believe that most people simply do not have the will power and dicipline to make the drastic life style changes that the program calls for. What Dr. Ornish is prescribing for individuals with diagnosed heart disease is a very low fat vegetarian diet, regular moderate cardiovascular exercise, and controlling the stress issues within your life. He has written books on this subject and there is an abundance of clinical data from patient studies to back up what the Doctor says. If you have the dicipline to strictly adhere to the Ornish program you can in all likelyhood eliminate, or at the very least drastically reduce the syptoms associated with angina in a matter of only weeks to a few short months. In many cases, after patients have adhered to the program for a period of time, they no longer need medications to control there symptoms. In the event you are overwieght you will lose it on this program. You will not only begin to feel better physically, but mentally as well. It is a dynamic program that truly works. And at 42 years of age, you are probably young enough that lifestyle changes can improve your health to the point that you could realistically expect to have a normal life span in spite of your diagnosis. Never forget that you and you alone are empowered to improve your health through diet and lifestyle changes, never doubt how beneficial these changes can be in spight of the nay sayers. Feel free to email me if you would like to follow up on this. I hope that you found this information useful. Best of luck to you. grg0025@yahoo.com
