An Evening Seminar With Naturopath Eric Bakker

Are You HEART SMART?

Were you aware that every 90 minutes a New Zealander dies from coronary heart disease? Common risk factors account for an amazing 90 % of the risk of a first heart attack. Eric reveals a “Heart Smart” plan for the prevention of  premature heart disease, and what to do to avoid further illness. Don't be scared, even though the medical profession tend to use the "fear factor" when it comes to your heart, there is a LOT you can do to prevent a heart attack and in many cases avoid a lifetime of pharmaceutical drugs.

Have you ever spared a thought about your heart's health, ticking away and doing its job, faithfully, day in and out, beating millions of times over your lifetime?For many New Zealanders, a heart attack is unfortunately the first symptom of heart disease they will only ever experience. Assuming they survive, they're usually so scared that they agree to whatever their health-care professional will recommend - anything from being on pharmaceutical drugs for the rest of their life to a quadruple bypass.

Those with advanced heart disease are told that bypass surgery may well be "their only option". What they aren't told is that you can prevent most cases of heart disease - even if you are at a high risk; and more importantly - that you can slow heart disease right down and even reverse it - even if you have had a heart attack; and that you don't necessarily require powerful drugs or invasive surgery to accomplish this feat.


Beating_Heart_animation.gifHeart disease prevention holds the key

Cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure, and stroke kill more than 25,000 Australians and over 6,000 New Zealanders each year, and most of these deaths are unfortunately premature and avoidable. In most heart disease cases, an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.

Our belief is that these invasive measures are seldom necessary and often do more harm than good. We prefer to recommend natural therapies that are simple to follow, highly effective, and far less risky than resigning yourself to countless years of drug taking or bypass surgery. For example, in a 10 year follow-up study, 75 percent of bypass patients were actually worse than patients simply treated with heart medications. Other studies have revealed that balloon angioplasty was four times as deadly as doing nothing at all.
 Come along and hear most interesting information, you may be surprised to learn that cholesterol "lowering" has little to actually do with preventing a heart attack or preventing heart disease, and there are many experts who now believe that lowering cholesterol levels is both silly as well as potentially dangerous.

" Don't change your style Eric, I have been to many similar seminars before, and many are about pie charts and time management or boring technical information telling us to live in this or that quadrant.
