I’ve not heard of all of these natural remedies but we do eat quite a few of the ohers, especially almonds, ginger, turmeric and garlic. My other half used to drink apple cider vinegar every morning so I think we may need to both try to get back to doing that. I will now investigate some of the other remedies you mention.
Thank you for adding this post to the #GoingGreen linky and apologies for taking so long to come and read it. After a summer break the linky will be back again with a new one opening on Sept 3rd. Hope to see you there (and I hope you had a brilliant summer!).
HI Rosie,
My husband drinks apple cider vinegar every day too. I try to eat as many of these foods as possible or as many as my food allergies allow me too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a healthy, happy & blessed weekend!
I began feeling what could be considered indigestion, I took 2 tums but it persisted, I then began feeling generally “achy” in my upper back and upper arms, with constant chest pains. I had two heart attacks that year, finally i was diagnosed of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), my Cardiologist ordered an angioplasty and discovered a closed artery, then another cardiologist was called in to place a stent in the artery to open it up. I was hospitalized for a total of 2 weeks. I was prescribed Effient, a blood thinner and two other medications. My condition improved but got worse again within a year, so i started on a natural CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE TREATMENT from Rich Herbs Foundation, the herbal treatment was wonderful, no attack since treatment. I had a total decline in symptoms. I do lots of walking. Lost some weight, but was never heavy. Eat differently. I feel good overall.
