Heart Disease: L-Arginine can enhance your heart's health!

At the age of 8, I already started to be concerned about my heart. Irregular heart beats, occasional chest pain seemed to be a constant reminder throughout my life. When my cousin whom I grew up with died suddenly from a mysterious heart condition at the age of 24...I realized Heart Disease does not happen to older people only. Just a year later, my uncle walked blocks away to the hospital reporting chest pain, and found out that he also was suffering from massive heart attack. My father, at the age of 63, exercises 3 times a week, loves to preach to other people how to live a healthy life, and in great physical shape, also suffered from 2 minor strokes and retinol detachment just recently.

Oh yea, so is Heart Disease the #1 killer in the world, I full heartedly believe so!

I have no doubt that exercises and good low fat diet are main contributions to a healthy heart. I strongly believe that they were also the main reasons why my dad escaped the terrifying strokes that almost claimed his freedom for the rest of his life. However, I also believe that supplements is essential to a healthy heart. So, I hope through this lens, I can share some of my findings about the benefits of L-arginine for our cardiovascular system and how I believe this ingredient may help millions to save their ailing hearts.

I am not a health professional by no means, but a topic about Healthy Heart truly affects me and my life. I don't want this terrible disease keeps taking my loved ones away. I met Dr. Prendergast in 2007, listened to his fascinating studies and amazing results at the Synergy Worldwide's convention 07 about his L-arginine product. I started reading more about it.

In some of his video newsletters, he provided amazing statistics how his L-Arginine regimen had helped 99.95% of his patients from deadly heart disease!

If you're like most people, you think that heart disease is a problem for other folks. But heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. It is also a major cause of disability. There are many different forms of heart disease. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people have heart attacks.

Dr. Joe Prendergast's Background 


Dr. Joe Prendergast was an athlete, exercised regularly, but he was diagnosed with atherosclerotic heart disease after a CAT scan of his stomach showed that he had calcification of the artiereis. In 1991, he reversed his own hardening of arteries with his L-arginine regimen which has shocked his own radiologist and his doctor. Currently at the age of 71 (vascular age of 15 years old!), he has completely reversed his arteries hardeining. After more research, he reveals and endorses a very powerful product that may help you and your family who suffers from Heart Disease to regain their health!

Dr. Joe is an expert in arginine and passionately believes in its ability to enhance health. Arginine is an essential amino acid that has been studied for more than 50 years. In 1998, three American scientists won the Noble Prize for the discovery of the role that arginine plays in the production of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide dilates the blood vessels, helping them relax and restore elasticity. Arginine is also important in cell division, immunity, and the secretion of hormones.

Dr. Joe Prendergast has since left ForMor International, and is currently working with Synergy Worldwide as the medical advisory board on ProArgi-9, an L-Arginine product with added essential benefits.
An extensive introduction, interview and explanation about L-arginine & its benefits 48:28 - watch this at your free time! Very very educational!

Since 1991, Dr. Joe has been personally using arginine and recommending it in his medical practice. "Arginine benefits the body in a myriad of ways," says Dr. Joe. "We have now learned more about how arginine uses the two natural pathways into the brain to promote anti-aging properties, sports performance, and boost the immune system. Because arginine promotes healthy blood flow, it can also benefit human sexuality. We can't ignore the power of arginine any longer!"
Although you can get arginine from many types of foods, the average daily intake of arginine usually only meets the body's basic requirements for tissue repair and cell maintenance. "Arginine supplements provide much more of the amino acid available to your body for its many other purposes," Dr. Joe says.

Dr. Joe Prendergast is board-certified in internal medicine as well as endocrinology and metabolism. A graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, he completed a fellowship in endocrinology and metabolism at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and his research fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Prendergast has published over 40 medical articles in many well-known publications.In 1999, he founded DiabetesWell, an eClinic that managed patients with diabetes lead healthier, longer lives. He also founded, and the medical director of Endocrine metabolic medical center.

Often referred to as the "miracle molecule," l-arginine has potent health-enhancing properties.
 
The remarkable properties of l-arginine were validated by the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and since then have created a frenzy of interest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. The efficacy of l-arginine as a therapeutic agent has been validated by thousands of scientific clinical studies.

ProArgi-9 Plus was formulated in collaboration with leading l-arginine researchers such as J. Joseph Prendergast and other cardiovascular specialists who have conducted pioneering research in the proper application of l-arginine in promoting cardiovascular health. These experts have helped create the best l-arginine product on the market.

L-arginine is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. In the body, l-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels. This reduces stress on the heart and improves circulation. L-arginine is the body's major source for nitric oxide synthesis. Without nitric oxide, human life would not be possible. L-arginine also reduces blood viscosity. Scientific studies have shown that l-arginine significantly reduces blood pressure levels.
 
L-arginine also enhances health in a number of other ways. It improves immune function, stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), promotes healthy sexual function, may boost energy levels, helps to build muscle, and reduces adipose tissue body fat.

ProArgi-9 Plus is a unique product with great taste, far-reaching health benefits, and powerful support for the cardiovascular system. With ProArgi-9 Plus, you're giving your body the support necessary for a long, healthy life.

What is L-Arginine 

http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/herbsvitaminsad/a/Arginine.htm

What is L-Arginine?
L-arginine is an amino acid that has numerous functions in the body. It helps the body get rid of ammonia (a waste product), is used to make compounds in the body such creatine, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed.

L-arginine is used to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Preliminary studies have found that L-arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed (called vasodilation), such as atherosclerosis, erectile dysfunction, and intermittent claudication.

L-arginine is also involved in protein formation. In larger amounts, L-arginine stimulates the release of hormones growth hormone and prolactin.

Why Do People Use L-Arginine?
Heart disease
In the body, L-arginine is used to make nitric oxide, which reduces blood vessel stiffness, increases blood flow, and improves blood vessel function.

However, L-arginine should not be used following a heart attack. An study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health examining the use of L-arginine after a heart attack was terminated early after six patients died, a disproportionate number. There were no deaths in the patients who did not receive L-arginine.

The study researchers speculate that L-arginine may aggravate the effects of cardiac shock. The results were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Erectile Dysfunction
L-arginine has been used for erectile dysfunction. Like the drug sildenafil citrate (Viagra), L-arginine is thought to enhance the action of nitric oxide, which relaxes muscles surrounding blood vessels supplying the penis. As a result, blood vessels in the penis dilate, increasing blood flow, which helps maintain an erection. The difference in how they work is that Viagra blocks an enzyme called PDE5 which destroys nitric oxide and L-arginine is used to make nitric oxide.

In one study, 50 men with erectile dysfunction took either 5 grams of L-arginine per day or a placebo. After six weeks, more men in the L-arginine group had an improvement compared to those taking the placebo.

Unlike Viagra, L-arginine must be taken daily.

Wound healing
L-arginine's possible activity in wound repair may be due to its role in the formation of L-proline, an important amino acid that is essential for the synthesis of collagen.

Other Conditions
L-arginine is also used for high blood pressure, migraines, sexual dysfunction in women, intermittent claudication, and interstitial cystitis.

Sources of L-Arginine
L-arginine is conditionally essential, which means that the body normally has enough. It's produced in the kidney and to a lesser extent, in the liver.

Food sources of L-arginine include plant and animal proteins, such as dairy products, meat, poultry, fish, and nuts. The ratio of L-arginine to lysine is also important - soy and other plant proteins have more L-arginine than animal sources of protein.

Severe burns, infections, and injuries can deplete the body's supply of arginine. Under these conditions, L-arginine becomes essential and it is necessary to ensure proper intake to meet the increased demands.

L-arginine is also essential for children with rare genetic disorders that impair the formation of L-arginine.

Side Effects of L-Arginine
L-arginine may lower blood pressure because it is involved in the formation of nitric oxide. It may also result in indigestion, nausea, and headache.

L-arginine should not be used following a heart attack. If you have a history of heart disease, consult your doctor before taking L-arginine.

Higher doses of arginine can increase stomach acid, so it may worsen heartburn, ulcers, or digestive upset cause by medications. Arginine appears to increase stomach acid by stimulating the production of gastrin, a hormone that increases stomach acid.

L-arginine may also alter potassium levels, especially in people with liver disease. People with kidney disease and those who take ACE inhibitors or potassium sparing diuretics should not use supplemental L-arginine unless they are under professional supervision. It may also alter the levels of other chemicals and electrolytes in the body, such as chloride, sodium, and phosphate.

Arginine may increase blood sugar levels, so it shouldn't be used by people with diabetes unless under a doctor's supervision.

Pregnant and nursing women and children should not use supplemental L-arginine, as it's safety has not been established.

People with genital herpes should not take L-arginine because it may aggravate their symptoms.

Possible Drug Interactions
L-arginine may counteract the benefits of lysine to treat herpes

NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) or other drugs that are hard on the stomach should not be combined with L-arginine.

Drugs that alter potassium levels in the body, such as ACE inhibitors and potassium sparing diuretics.

5 simple ways to keep a Healthy Heart! 

Just focus on 5 things and you can be on your way to a healthier heart and cardiovascular system!

1) If you are overweight, lose some weight!
You are what you eat! Buy more vegetables, avoid frequent food that contains high saturated fat, trans fat food, eg. Fast food, deep fried food, grease, instant noodles...etc. American Heart Association created a Food Certification Program that helps you create a healthy grocery list.

2)Bring down high blood pressure: Less salt, take L-arginine as supplement, reduce stress. We have enough salt in our daily food intake, stop grabbing the salt shaker! Take yoga classes or just a few minutes being quiet by yourself. I personally like to play piano, take kickboxing class and a glass of wine, and sometimes just closing my eyes and be quiet for a few minutes help too!

3) Stop smoking : Despite my father's healthy lifestyle, he did make a very big mistake. He smoked heavily after he started the restaurant business. It was a way for him to socialize with the chefs, customers and friends. Smoking increase chance of getting a stroke by 50%!!

4) Reduce cholesterol: Avoid eating egg yolk, seafood, and deep fried food.

5) Take Supplements: Sometimes we just don't have enough necessary nutrition from our daily diet. So, we should enhance our body by taking some of the supplements: L-arginine (of course!), Core Greens (satisfy your 5-9 daily servings of vegetables), Mistica (receiving the highest antocynine content among other competitions), and Omega Fatty Acids!

Correlation between Cardiovascular Diseases and Overweight & Obesity 

Cardiovascular diseases includes: heart, stroke and blood vessel diseases. There have been many evidence and studies proven that over weight and obesity can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, strokes, coronary heart diseases, heart failure and Type 2 diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called the worldwide rise in obesity a global epidemic (WHO 2000).

-Nearly 112,000 deaths per year in the U.S. may be attributable to obesity.
-The risk of death rises with increasing weight.
-Even moderate weight excess (10 to 20 pounds for a person of average height) increases the risk of death, particularly among adults ages 30 to 64.
-People who are obese (defined as having a BMI greater than 30) have a higher risk of excess death (they are more likely to die) from all causes, compared to people at a healthy weight.

I've heard that the new treatments make herpes much easier to deal with. While looking for a treatment for genital herpes I found a lot of snake oil, However there is hope, especially with some of the newer natural cures.
