Ask Dr Garland

Stephen Jones

A lot of skeptics say that natural medicine is all make-believe and fancy “placebo effect” science.

Watch this video by Stephen Jones, a young man’s fight to overcome chronic back pain, and tell everyone you know to watch it, and together we will refute the critics once and for all.

After the doctors told him he had degenerative disc disease and arthritis in his lower back and that there was nothing that could be done and it would only get worse with time, Stephen decided to give our Bone Density formula and special ‘Meals that Heal’ recipes a try.

After all, what did he have to lose but the pain?

In just three months, he felt like a new man – and better than he had in 10 years!

Dr. Garland’s comments:
“It is estimated that over 60% of America suffers bone degeneration. Osteoporosis in particular is nearly epidemic.   Drugs are useless in fighting this and the side effects from hastily approved and rushed to market drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex are downright dangerous!

If you suffer from pain in your bones, whether it be in your back, knees or hands, have arthritis or are concerned about osteoporosis, contact me for a personal consultation and soon we will be sharing your story of recovery with the world.

This is the miracle of Contagious Health!”

February was American Heart Month but we think this subject is so vital that we are carrying it over to March.

Heart Disease remains America’s #1 Killer, and no matter how many fancy drugs Big Pharma throws at the problem, it keeps getting worse.

This special interview, with Dr. Stephen Sinata, a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and former Chief of Cardiology at Manchester Memorial Hospital, just might change what many have always thought about heart health.

More importantly, it could save your life!”

Good Heart Sense: An Interview with Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra

By Lindsay Wilson, Nutrition Reporter

Lindsay Wilson: You are a board certified cardiologist, but your approach to cardiovascular health is not entirely conventional. You practice something you call “metabolic cardiology.” Can you explain what that is?

Dr. Stephen Sinatra: Metabolic cardiology describes the biochemical interventions used to improve energy metabolism in the heart. The heart uses a large amount of energy, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to function. The body is continuously making ATP, but when people have any form of heart disease — whether it’s a diabetic heart, an alcoholic heart, someone who has had a bypass or a heart attack or even an otherwise healthy person with hypertension, any sick heart — their hearts’ cells are losing ATP and overtime, the body can’t make it fast enough to refill the tank. What metabolic cardiology is all about is preserving the heart’s cells with the substrates it needs to make ATP. If you give it what it needs CoQ10, L-carnitine, D-ribose and magnesium — the heart has an incredible innate intelligence to repair itself. When you give it the right nutraceutical support, the heart’s energy machinery, the mitochondria, can produce more ATP. The heart needs ATP for systole and diastole (contraction and relaxation) but the heart also needs ATP to repair and rejuvenate itself. When you give a cell ATP, the cell is able to repair itself.

When you increase ATP to any cell, you’re increasing the pulsatile activity of the cell, allowing the cell to function better, allowing more nutrients in, more toxins out. When you do that, you really invigorate, regenerate and revitalize the cell — that’s what metabolic cardiology is all about.

“When my daughter Ashley turned 16, we found out she had thyroid cancer. I have a deep faith in God and all of our family prayed so hard for her to be saved.

Ashley Navarro The Comeback Kid

Ashley is now 21, but back then we didn’t know anything. The doctors said surgery was the only way to go, that it was “a matter of life or death.”

Every day since then has been one long, dark nightmare, especially for my little girl. Would I ever see her become the magnificent young woman that I knew was within her?

Not only did they cut out her thyroid but they removed most of her lymph glands as well. For four long years, its been one trip after another to the hospital in West Palm Beach. It seemed that with every visit, the doctors would say that her counts were still climbing and there was residual cancer around her neck area.

But I know something, maybe you do too. The devil only comes to kill, rob and destroy and there is a God that can turn anything around if you ask him with all your heart.

A good friend told me that I needed to call Wayne Garland, a naturopathic doctor in Arkansas, who did things differently. So I gave him a call and incredible coincidences started happening.

He wanted Ashley on a special diet of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables that we were to make up as healing soups and also to juice and drink. Lo and behold, a friend turned up with a juicing machine and showed us how to get started. He had a bunch of pills too for Ashley’s thyroid and immune system. And no more partying and late nights out with friends (that was tough at first!) so Ashley could get lots of good sleep every night to help the healing process.

If your systolic blood pressure reading is continually above 120, you are a ticking bomb, just waiting for a heart attack to happen!

February is National Heart Awareness Month and for good reason. Heart Disease is America’s #1 Killer. There are over one million unnecessary deaths each year from strokes, heart attacks, cardiac arrest, severe angina and clogged arteries.

Yet it shouldn’t be this way.

Did you hear about what happened to former President Bill Clinton last week? He required emergency surgery to have two stents placed in one of his coronary arteries due to chest pains – this after having quadruple bypass surgery in 2004.

Over two-thirds of Americans suffer from some kind of cardiovascular disease; heart attacks, strokes, clogged-up arteries, dangerously high cholesterol and homocysteine, hypertension, high blood pressure and diabetes. It is estimated by medical researchers that in excess of one million people die each year from heart related problems, and all unnecessarily.

Obesity is also a chronic problem in all age groups and getting worse by the second. The first lady, Michelle Obama, last week launched an initiative to fight Childhood Obesity.

Conquering what I call the Foot and Mouth Disease; a lack of exercise (foot) and eating too much food (mouth) – has an immediate impact in reversing both of these epidemics.

“My husband Carl had 100% blockage in two main arteries and the other was 60% blocked!”

Carl started to have chest pains when working in the yard or out in the cold and he was very tired all the time. The doctor ordered a heart catheterization and found that all three arteries had clogged up, two were 100% totally clogged, and the other had over 60% blockage. Carl’s cholesterol level was over 600. (no, this is not a misprint) and his triglycerides were 1,233! (again, not a misprint.)

Carl had a triple by-pass operation 13 years ago and wasn’t about to go through it all over again, as the pain nearly killed him the first time. So, the doctor put a stent into the one artery with only 60% blockage and said that was all he could do for Carl.

We were both desperate to do something more. That’s when it hit me – call Wayne Garland. He had done so much for us and others over the years with his formulas.

I dug up his number and called him out of the blue. He said he had a program for Carl that would de-clog his arteries, get his cholesterol down and also shed the pounds of extra weight, so his heart would work easier. And get this, with NO DRUGS OR SURGERY!
