Back to Basics with CHD - “Lifelong Learning Leads to Limitless Living”
As part of the support I wish to offer through my dowsing for health sessions, I would also like to share my understanding of health snapshots focused on natural ways to heal that move away from the conventional medical models, which, as many of us know, can be sadly led by profit and conflicts of interest.
I want to share my learning with you, in summarised ways, so have a quick read and enjoy!
Today’s focus is on heart health as despite years of interventions and drug protocols, heart disease is on the rise.
My deep dive today was courtesy of Alec Zeck whose guest previously had a heart attack and despite being told he couldn’t ever be ‘cured’ and his symptoms would be managed by large amounts of medication, he restored his heart to full health. This is an area close to my heart (excuse the pun) so I hope it helps to spark an interest in the urge that was felt in my family when looking at the large white bag of prescription drugs, allegedly for life as we uttered…. ‘There must be another way!’
Dr. Stephen Hussey is a chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and author of *Understanding the Heart*. In his work and discussions, he explores the heart and its true function (spoiler alert…. not a pump!) challenging traditional views on how it works.
The key takeaways that resonated with me related to the true root causes of atherosclerosis (where your arteries become narrowed), and coronary artery disease, and ways to decrease risk of clotting. He exemplified how the healing benefits of infrared, grounding, and structured water align with his holistic approach to heart health and overall wellness. He also talked about the impact of intense emotions on heart health, and through clients I’ve supported to date, suppressed emotions and past trauma had caused lasting effects on their heart, which I can help your body to clear and heal naturally.
Cholesterol has also been incorrectly demonised (suppressing the research around the damage of statins and the negative side effects) when instead, it’s highly beneficial for your brain, hormones and overall health….but that could be the theme of another blog in itself!
Here are some of the major points related to Stephen’s top tips for heart health:
1. Infrared and Heart Health
- **Infrared Light Therapy**: Dr. Hussey discusses how infrared light (especially near-infrared) can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair. The heat from infrared light helps stimulate the blood vessels and improves blood flow, which is beneficial for heart health.
- **Vascular Health**: Infrared radiation has been shown to positively affect vascular health by enhancing nitric oxide production, which helps relax and dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow. The best source of this is always full spectrum sunlight exposure, but infra-red healing devices can be supportive too.
- **Mitigating Cardiovascular Disease**: Infrared therapy supports the body in reducing oxidative stress, which is one of the underlying causes of heart disease.
2. Grounding (Earthing) and Its Role in the Body
- **Electromagnetic Field Balance**: Grounding, or earthing, is the practice of connecting directly with the Earth’s electrons (like walking barefoot on the ground). Dr. Hussey talks about how this practice helps reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and even promote healing.
- **Inflammation Reduction**: Grounding has been shown to reduce systemic inflammation, which can be a major factor in the development of heart disease. By absorbing electrons from the Earth, the body is able to neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative damage.
- **Improved Heart Function**: Some studies suggest grounding can help regulate heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of heart health, by supporting the autonomic nervous system.
3. Structured Water and Its Importance
- **Hydration on a Cellular Level**: Structured water (sometimes referred to as "fourth-phase water" or "EZ water") is a form of water that has a special structure that may allow it to be more easily absorbed by cells. Dr. Hussey emphasises that proper hydration is critical for heart health, as the heart is made up of 73% water.
- **Improved Cellular Function**: Drinking structured water can potentially improve cellular hydration, optimize energy production, and reduce cellular stress, which benefits the heart by promoting overall health and resilience.
- **Water's Role in Blood Flow**: Structured water can enhance the flow of fluids in the cardiovascular system, supporting proper circulation and reducing the strain on the heart.
Back to Basics CHD Key Takeaways:
- **Holistic Heart Health**: Dr. Hussey advocates for a broader understanding of the heart, seeing it not as a pump but as part of a larger energetic system that creates energy and vortexes the blood. Practices like infrared therapy, grounding, and drinking structured water, as well as ways to encourage the body to boost it’s own structured water in the cells, can play a role in supporting this system.
- **Empowering Your Health**: Rather than just focusing on symptoms or relying solely on medications, these practices aim to empower individuals by promoting heart health naturally, through lifestyle changes and environmental factors that can support the body's innate healing processes.
- **Interconnection of Body Systems**: The underlying message is that heart health isn't isolated to the heart itself but is connected to overall bodily health, including inflammation, hydration, and energy flow.
These practices—infrared, grounding, and structured water—are just part of a growing trend toward natural health strategies that support not just the heart but overall vitality.
If you would like to assess your overall health, then feel free to book in for a session and we can dowse with your body to find out more about your own unique ways to heal.
