My friend and fitness author Jon Benson sent me this email. I have his permission to share it with you, despite the really personal details… turns out that he had a near-fatal event in the gym and wanted to share the story with his readers. I was blown away by what he did in the name of “preventative medicine“… so read this. It may just save your life.

My Medical Emergency; This Happened Today
by Jon Benson    

———————————————————————-|

Sometimes you have to nearly lose it all to realize what you truly have.

I can honestly say that I have come close to death several times in my life. I’ve had my share of accidents, medical emergencies, and a near-fatal accident while driving.

But there was something about just laying on the gym floor today with two doctors hovering over me that gave me serious pause.

Time for some major reflection.

Now, before you get too alarmed (for those who know me, or just think I’m a pretty good guy… ; )… fear not. I did not have a stroke or anything like that, thank goodness.

What I did have was a major drop in blood pressure… so much that I came dangerously close to entering the “coma” zone.

I kid you not.

And trust me… I felt like I was slipping fast.

My girlfriend was there with me. I had her kneel down and, just like Spock in an old episode of “Star Trek“, I had her slap me several times in the face. Hard!

“If my eyes roll back, hit me harder.”

The doctor probably thought I was nuts… but I know that’s one way to elevate my blood pressure.

So, what happened? Am I falling apart at the relatively young age of 46? Is my dietary and exercise advise dangerous after all?

No… and here’s why:

     I actually VOLUNTEERED for this.

Before you think I’ve totally lost my marbles, hear me out. If you listen to the rest of the story, you’ll see that not only has my advice been of great value when it comes to exercise and dietary strategy… it actually ended up saving my butt!

—————————————–
Really Bad Genetics Meets
The Cath Lab:  A Wild Encounter
—————————————–

First, the “volunteered for this” bit needs explaining… right? Right.

If you read my first book, published in 2004, called “Fit Over 40″ (read more at http://www.fitover40.com/go/fitover50) then you may recall that I went into great detail about my poor genetics and horrible health in my early and mid-30s.

Since then, and knowing exactly how bad my genetics are for such things as high blood pressure (oh, the irony!), heart disease, and stroke, I adopted the dietary plan and exercise routine I use to  this very day. The very ones I cover in “The Every Other Day Dietplan” and “7 Minute Body.”

(If you don’t have these books and want them, you can get both here… http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/fitover50 — oh, and I have a short video up on this page if you have not seen on a 1-minute fatloss tip… )

Now, let’s get real folks:  Dietary power and exercise MAY not be enough to overcome really bad genetics when it comes to certain diseases. And being ever curious, I wanted to know exactly how my own health was doing on my plan. So a month or so ago I paid a visit to the hospital to have some tests ran. All my yearly check-ups were okay, but I wanted a closer look at my heart… and I mean “literally”.

I wanted to be “cathed”… this is where they insert a camera into your heart, going up the femoral artery in your right leg, and take a look around. If they find anything dangerous, like a clogged artery, they can fix it right then and there with a stent. A stent is a metal device that presses plaque against the artery wall and opens up a clogged artery.

Of course I hoped I would not find such a thing… and certainly nothing worse. I mean, can you imagine?  “Mr. Benson, you need a quadruple bypass!”

I could not, that’s for sure… and I was fortunate because, as you probably guessed, I didn’t hear those words from my doc.

It’s hard to get a cath done as it’s a risky procedure. I can’t even tell you how I managed to pull it off … that’s how touchy the hospitals are when it comes to this kind of stuff. Afterwards, I volunteered to do 5-10 workouts at their heart care facility so I could hook myself up to some nifty gadgets. I get to watch my EKG (how my heart is functioning during cardio and weights… and it works like a charm!) and really nice doctor folks come by to check my blood pressure (which is always low) during the workout.

Yep… the doc and I wanted to put my workout plan to the test, I guess you could say. I wanted to do it just to make sure I was 100% healthy during my training. You never really “know” I suppose, so I was up for it. And my doctor wanted me to do it just in case what he found during the cath was serious. There’s a lot to this process, and there’s some details I don’t wish to cover for privacy sake… but anyway, back to my story.

It’s long, but it may save your life too. : )

—————————————–
The Good News… The Bad News…
And The Stupid Jon News!
—————————————–

Turns to find out I made a few mistakes… some pretty costly mistakes… but (get this) none of them had to do with my dietary or exercise plan.

During the cath, here’s what the doc said:

“Jon, your heart’s two primary arteries look good… hardly any obstruction at all. And they are nice and thick from exercise.” For a guy who has had a cholesterol level of over 400 before, and a history of heart disease in the family, this was really good news.

“However, your genetics are catching up to you in one of your arteries…. and you need to be more aggressive with your drug treatment to make sure we don’t have to go back in here one day!”

Er… what??

Yep… turns out that the only thing that saved me from a BYPASS (that’s right) was what the doctor called “an enormous amount of peripheral arteries formed from years and years of weight training and exercise.”

Wow.

“Look right here Jon…”  (He showed me my beating heart on camera… freaky…) “See all these arteries? Well the average person doesn’t have them. You do. Congratulations… you earned them.”

Wow again. And remember, I only workout with weights 3-4 times per week and my workouts are rarely over 21 minutes (time under the weight.)

—————————————–
What I Did Right… And What
I Did Wrong… And Why This
Could Save Your Life
—————————————–

So, listen up folks as I’m about to tell you everything I did wrong for the past several years… how it ALMOST cost me dearly (a bypass?… no thanks!)… how I managed to prevent it… and how I ended up on the gym floor today with doctors all around me.

It’s all related. And again, sorry for the novel-like email, but (again) this may save your life.

First, here’s what my excellent cardiologist said I did RIGHT:

1. Exercise:  “Jon, your exercise plan, to put it bluntly, saved you from a great deal of pain… in fact it probably saved your life as these blockages would have been far worse without it.” With it, I had only one artery with enough blockage to warrant the drug therapy that I should have been on for years… more on that in a second…

2. Dietary plan:  “Jon, your diet is perfect for this condition… low in carbs, high in protein and healthy fats is all anyone can do in order to help fight this genetic killer.”  Yep… again… prevention in the form of dietplan saved my butt. Or rather my heart. : )  But it wasn’t enough… at least for one artery. However, it WAS enough to prevent them from having to do surgery on me.

“Jon, the take-away here is simple:  Exercise and dietary plans, even the very best, may not be enough for super high-risk people… but in your case your lifestyle saved your life. And it certainly prevented you from having to have any serious surgery to correct a truly broken heart.”

Talk about EXCITING news… yep… you CAN beat this killer, even when you have MY horrible family genetics. However, like me, you may need some help… more on that in a second.

3. Blood pressure:  “Jon, your blood pressure is excellent. Your lifestyle and very low-dose diuretic has kept your formerly sky-high blood pressure (it was 200/110 when I was 32!) to an excellent 118/78.”  But you know doctors… even “excellent” isn’t enough and they recommended a stronger BP med for “my intense weight training.”

So, I listened… and ended up on the floor today. You see, many doctors do not realize the POWER of weight training compared to cardio. My blood pressure never budges during cardio, but less than 3 minutes into a resistance (weight-training) session it goes down like the stock market after a bad news day.

I mean SHOOTS down. I tried to explain this by letting the doctor see the veins in my legs… “Doc, my veins are MUCH larger than the average person’s… trust me, my pressure is fine.”  “Jon, just try it for a few weeks.”

Bad mistake…. like I said, I ended up on the gym floor today with a blood pressure of 72/45. If I hit 40, I’m literally in a coma. 5 points away… very scary. Needless to say the doc took me OFF these meds and let me do it my way:  With my Every Other Day Dietplan (low-carb most of the days) and good-old exercise.

If you have high blood pressure, I URGE you to take up weight training or resistance (body-weight or band) training. Of course, ask your doc about it first… but I’ve seen first hand for three weeks now how powerful my weight training sessions are compared to intense cardio sessions.

They are night and day folks… weights RULE. Cardio is good, but weights are best. Both of course would be the best course for ultimate health, but most people do far too much cardio and far too little resistance training.

—————————————–
Oops…
—————————————–

Now, here’s what I did WRONG:

1. Cigars:  “Jon, you cannot afford to smoke cigars… ever. They have lowered your protective HDL to a dangerous level. Stop NOW!” That’s all it took folks. Yes, I smoked cigars for many years, but fortunately I was never an addict. I quit that very day.

Guess what? 10 days later my HDL DOUBLED (no kidding)… and without drugs. Of course that’s not all I did…

2. Fat too LOW:  “Jon, you’ve lowered your dietary fat too low… this affects your HDL.”  Yep, I normally eat about 35% dietary fat… and I cut it down to 20% to help me get ready for a photoshoot. Now that I put it back to where it belongs, I still have my abs (yep!) and my HDL is raising as I type.

3. Stress:  “Jon, you are simply working too hard not to do some form of meditation or de-stressing.”  So I dove back into my meditation CDs. (I’ll tell you more about Holosync and my hypnosis CDs in my next email… very cool stuff.)

4. Advil:  “Jon, you take 4 Advil before you train? You’re nuts! That stuff can cause sticky plaque formations!!”  You know, I may never even had an issue if I had known this (and not smoked cigars) a few years ago. Live and learn!

5. And finally… oh, this hurt to hear… no drugs!  “Jon, if you want to make sure you beat this thing, you simply must take some meds to help.”  Okay, I resisted any form of statin drug for the past 15 years (drugs to lower cholesterol.) I opted to try natural stuff… but unfortunately for me I was never too consistent. And I paid the price.

So the doc and I came to a compromise:  I would take the LOWEST dose of statin along with 400 mg of CoQ10 (scary, but this was my idea, not his, and statins deplete this heart-friendly enzyme!) But I wanted a natural solution to the real issue:  small particle LDL. You see, I’ve known for years that I carry the gene that makes LDL “small”. LDL is not dangerous unless it is small… that’s why “total cholesterol” means nothing to me. I’ve seen folks have heart attacks with a cholesterol level of 130. No joke. But their LDL was super-small… like mine.

And guess what?  Dietplans cannot really help this. Well, they can HURT it (too many carbs, too many toxic fats, etc.) but they cannot shift the LDL from small to large.

For that, you need plain old niacin. Just a simple B vitamin… but in not-so-simple doses. In fact it’s considered a drug at the dose you have to take, and you should NEVER take niacin over 50 mg without a doctor’s supervision as it can be very toxic to the liver.

—————————————–
The Conclusion:  The Power
Is In Your Hands
—————————————–

In conclusion, I’m A-Okay… my heart pumps and functions “like that of a strong 20-year-old” (my doctor’s quote) thanks to the extra arteries I developed from my exercise program (how cool!) … but in order to keep that one artery in check, I’m taking his advice and taking much better care of myself than I have been.

Today I learned that this does NOT mean taking blood pressure meds…thankfully… : ) But I had to make some changes. Some of them were “stupid” changes… sure, I know cigars are not good for you. I know you need good fats in your dietplan. I could have used common sense and figured out that 4-8 Advil on workout days was… well, stupid.

But the good news, which is what I choose to focus on, is this:  In the areas that 95% of people NEVER change, I didn’t have to change much at all.

Dietary plan and exercise.

Turns to find out that what I was doing works great… and it did, in fact, save my heart and quite possibly my life.

Thanks for reading, and I wish all of you good health!

Yours In Fitness,

J O N   B E N S O N

P.S.   I got lucky in many ways, but especially so when it came to my doctors. Both of my doctors are young and savvy enough to be up on the latest research on nutrition. They know NOT to buy into this “low-fat” nonsense for heart health. (I’d use a harsher word, but kiddos may be reading… : ) That only works for about 10-15% of the population. The rest of us need to lower our CARBS, not our fats… but the way I do it I get to keep my favorite carbs in my dietplan every week.

The little that I do eat keeps me happy as a clam, and keeps my heart nice and healthy too. A little bit of bad food will not hurt most people… but eating it every day can flat-out kill you.

Please… take this seriously. I promise, my dietplan and exercise routine is a PLEASURE to follow… but if you don’t follow it then find one that IS enjoyable for you to follow… and do it.

Life is too short, you know?

Dr. Ed Martin from House Calls tells us how to beat a Hangover.  St. Patricks Day or not…check it out.  And, you’ll definitely want to pass this one on to your buddies.  dmc

********************************************************

How to beat the booze the morning after

The Irish used to say the best cure for a hangover was to bury the poor, pained victim up to his or her neck in moist river sand.

With St. Patrick’s Day almost here, we have to give some respect to the Irish when it comes to drinking. But when it comes to curing a hangover? Not so much.

Of course, river sand is clearly an old folk remedy… but it’s much harder to sort truth from fiction with modern hangover cures and beliefs.

Take, for example, newer alcoholic drinks that come infused with hangover-fighting nutrients. The idea is that it’s somehow safer to overindulge in these… or at least be easier on the body the next day… but that remains to be seen.

In any case, you probably shouldn’t be picking your drinks based on any supposed nutritional benefits or additional vitamins. After all, drinking is by itself a healthy activity – as long as you choose your booze in moderation. Once you cross that line, though, you’re risking a rough morning-after no matter what you drank the night before.

But since many people know that and enjoy a good bender every now and then just the same – especially on March 17 – here are a few tips to help you get back on your feet the next day:

Start with your vitamins… especially the B complex, potassium and vitamin C. You can add more vitamin C throughout the day until you feel better. All three of these essential nutrients help you to rejuvenate more quickly… and replenish what the excess alcohol stole from your body.

Plain old water is one of the best remedies for hangover, since dehydration goes hand-in-hand with crapulence. Some people have a glass of water for every couple of stiff drinks they have throughout the night. Just be sure to keep drinking the water long after the last call for alcohol and throughout the following day.

Sleep is also a great hangover cure, but only if you can snooze long enough. Since your body’s metabolism slows during sleep, a short rest can do more harm than good – so try not to drink heavily when you have to wake up early. But if you can doze well into the morning (or longer), you can buy your body some precious recovery time.

Once you’re up, eat a good breakfast – ideally a BLT with a Virgin Mary. The potassium in the tomato juice, carbs in the bread and protein in bacon can all help speed the pace of your recovery. One British study last year found that the protein in bacon is quickly converted into amino acids, which then replenish the neurotransmitters depleted by your binge.

If you don’t have any tomato juice handy, try a potassium- rich banana.

There are a few things that definitely won’t help – like burying yourself in moist river sand… or gobbling down painkillers. No matter how bad the hangover feels, drugs like aspirin and acetaminophen won’t help the situation. Alcohol can even intensify these meds – making the side effects worse and further stressing your stomach and already overworked liver.

A cup of coffee is a great way to start most mornings… but not the morning after. Caffeine won’t help sober you up and won’t help you fight a hangover. Like alcohol, caffeine is a diuretic… and as I mentioned earlier, one of the keys to recovery is keeping that water in your body.

Finally, the best way to avoid a hangover is to skip the alcohol altogether… but where’s the fun in that, right?

On a mission for your health,

Ed Martin
Editor, House Calls


Sleep peaceful as a lamb and
wake up like a LION!

..alert, refreshed and ready to power through your day, thanks to the bedside breakthrough helping ease folks to sleep without unpleasant side effects…

This is from my favorite lady, Jenny Thompson, at HSI.  It seems the CDC wants to vaccinate everyone with the flu vaccine.  I mean, why not.  NOT!!  Check it out below.  Thanks, Jenny.  Pass it on.  dmc

*************************************************

 

Dear Reader,

“What the heck do we have to do!?”

That frustrating question has probably annoyed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials for years.

I imagine they lie awake nights. During family dinners, their faces go blank as they drift off, lost in thought, all the time wondering, “What the heck do we have to do to convince people to get a flu shot!?”

“Is it too much to ask to just take a few minutes every September and go get a shot!?”

“Why oh why would people NOT get a flu shot!?”

Meanwhile, most Americans are stubbornly unmoved. Polls show that millions don’t think they need the shot, or that the shot is ineffective, or that the shot might actually make them sick. So they pass.

And that drives CDC guys nuts.

What to do?

The answer is pretty clear. It’s time to pull out all the stops and recommend flu shots for EVERYONE!

———————————————————–
Just say yes
———————————————————–

Recently, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to expand the flu shot recommendations to include everyone over the age of 6 months.

In other words, the CDC will be recommending that virtually every American alive today should get a flu shot next season. Now you might have some contraindications–such as egg allergy or a chronic disease–that will keep you off the recommended list.

Everyone else? Step right up!

A CDC flu specialist told the Washington Post, “Now no one should say, ‘Should I or shouldn’t I?’”

That’s right–you don’t even have to THINK about it anymore. When your doctor says, “Ready for your flu shot?” It’s easy. You just say, “Yes!”

And here’s the best part: It’s easier for your doctor because now HE doesn’t have to think about it either! A representative of the American College of Physicians actually told Medscape: “This will be much simpler. We don’t have to figure out who should get the vaccine.”

In the past, a doctor had to look at some paperwork to find the age of his patient. Then he had to figure out if the patient belonged in one of two age groups: six months to 18 years, or anyone over 50. Imagine how complex that was!

When the ACIP voted on the new recommendations, there was actually a round of applause at the meeting where the vote occurred. That’s how much these people craved this change. They were celebrating! Which is fairly odd because there’s zero evidence that the flu vaccine even works.

And they know it.

Last year, I told you about an important study from the Cochrane Collaboration–a non-profit, independent organization that reviews a wide variety of health care research. Cochrane researchers examined every influenza vaccine study conducted between 1948 and 2007.

Their conclusion: “There is no evidence whatsoever that seasonal influenza vaccines have any effect, especially in the elderly and young children. No evidence of reduced cases, deaths, complications.”

So the CDC–these very mainstreamers who are always telling us that supplements don’t have gold standard proof of effectiveness–are recommending that nearly every person in the U.S. should get this completely unproven vaccine next year.

They’re going to be mystified when millions of people just say, “No.”

…and another thing

Another mainstream “no brainer” bites the dust.

A recent issue of the VERY mainstream Journal of the American Medical Association carries a study that tested low dose aspirin (100mg per day) against placebo in 3,350 healthy subjects between the ages of 50 and 75.

On average, each subject participated for more than eight years.

Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in fatal or nonfatal coronary events, strokes, angina, transient heart attack or all- cause mortality.

In short, low-dose aspirin use produced virtually no benefits.

But adverse events tell another story.

The authors write: “Any effect of aspirin on cardiovascular events needs to be balanced against the potential for harm. Although numbers were small, the trial results suggested an increased incidence of major hemorrhage and gastrointestinal ulcer, although not severe anemia, in the aspirin group, and more participants in the aspirin group than in the placebo group had fatal intracranial adverse events.”

So…what do you think? Will this be the turning point? From now on will doctors tell their patients to forget about a daily aspirin because it’s likely to do more harm than good?

Don’t hold your breath.

Doctors! Television medical pundits! Read your JAMA! All the aspirin evidence you need is right there in front of you.

To Your Good Health,

Jenny Thompson

Dr. William C. Douglass II on Gardasil bribes and toddler tantrums.  You can’t make this stuff up.  Pass it on.  dmc

*********************************

 

Crooked campaign hits mall-loving teens
Forget shady strangers and bags of candy… the biggest threat to our daughters and granddaughters comes from health officials armed with mall gift certificates.

In one of the most irresponsible government programs I’ve ever heard of, clinics in Birmingham, England, are bribing teenage girls to get vaccinated.

Believe it or not, they’re offering girls up to $70 in “Love2Shop” mall vouchers in exchange for getting one of the most dangerous vaccines ever approved: Gardasil.

They call this an incentive; I call it physical assault on a minor. They want a pat on the back; I want them pat down and tossed in jail.

And if, as a parent, you don’t like it… tough. In Jolly Old England, your daughter doesn’t need your permission to get vaccinated… so you’ll only find out when she comes home showing off her new earrings… or when you get a call from the emergency room after she suffers one of this dangerous drug’s many side effects.

I’ve been crusading against Gardasil from Day One. The media calls it a “cervical cancer vaccine,” but don’t be fooled by this fancy nickname. This vaccine doesn’t protect against cervical cancer — it protects against certain forms of HPV, an STD that can cause cervical cancer.

It’s far from 100 percent effective, and it’s even farther from 100 percent safe. But do you expect these teenage girls to know that? Do you think they’re going to go home and do the research before accepting their shopping bribe?

Sadly, most of them have no clue that Gardasil has been linked to dozens of deaths and thousands of reactions ranging from anaphylactic shock and grand mal seizures to coma and paralysis. Some girls have come down with the incurable nerve disorder Guillian-Barre Syndrome after getting vaccinated, as I’ve warned before.

And according to a stomach-turning report I found in the Daily Mail, officials in Britain are already talking about expanding the Birmingham mall scheme nationwide.

If you think this won’t happen here, you’re only partly right. Health officials might not be bribing girls at shopping malls, but the approach they’re taking could be far more devastating.

Big Pharma is hard at work pressuring local officials across the country into making HPV vaccines a requirement for school.

The worst part is that all of this hoopla is over something that’s completely preventable. Vaccine or no vaccine, the only surefire 100 percent effective means of preventing HPV infection is abstinence. You can’t spread a sexually transmitted virus without sex. It’s as simple as that.

 

 


The real key to curing cancer…
Wipe out the STEALTH DISEASE lurking behind it!

It’s arguably the most shocking revelation in history…The discovery shook even the most seasoned doctors to their very core.

But the truth is, cancer isn’t actually what kills most cancer patients.

Even more astounding–this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former U.S. Air Force doctor Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!

That’s right–the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn’t cancer at all. No! It’s a syndrome you’ve probably never even heard of. And if you or someone you love is battling cancer…

You can’t afford to ignore it!

And you definitely can’t afford to ignore what could very well be the only natural compound that stops this stealth killer in its tracks…

Toddler tantrums now a mental disorder?If your kid likes to throw a fit when he doesn’t get what he wants, he’s probably just an ordinary run-of-the-mill brat… but not according to the psychiatric industry. They want you to believe he’s mentally ill — and they want to pump him full of meds.Shrinks are in the middle of updating the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. That’s their list of ordinary character traits and flaws wrapped up in fancy names to make them sound like diseases.

One of the proposed new conditions is “temper dysregulation with dysphoria.” Symptoms: “severe, recurrent outbursts of temper” that are “grossly out of proportion to the situation” several times a week in kids under 10.

Sound familiar? Of course it does — it describes just about every kid who ever existed. A parent’s job is to teach them, over time, how to behave like human beings.

But that doesn’t make much money, does it?

Shrinks want you to believe these kids are mentally damaged monsters… and they’re ready to give your child an early lesson in drug addiction instead of the firm, guiding hand they need.

But what did you expect from this shady industry?

They’re also looking to turn laziness (”cognitive tempo disorder”) and anger (”intermittent explosive disorder”) into full-blown adult mental illnesses. They’re even looking to reclassify teen “irritability” as a new psychiatric disorder.

Forget the shrinks — these new “disorders” are simply part of growing up. If you do suspect a real problem in your child’s brain, visit a neurologist.

And for Pete’s sake, keep your kid far away from the local psychiatrist.

Intermittently explosive,

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
