Holistic care is not just great for heart health- it's the best bang for the buck! 

Heart disease is an epidemic in this country and it affects both genders, it’s becoming more common in younger and younger people. And, for the pharmaceutical industry it’s been a source of booming business for prescription drugs that lower cholesterol and blood pressure. The thing about drugs like statins is that they block an enzyme in your liver from making cholesterol from the endogenous precursors in your body. That means that if you continue to eat a high cholesterol, especially the trans-saturated fats and an imbalanced ratio of omega-6:omega-3 you may still be susceptible to the bad effects of these exogenous fats. And, then there are the chronic conditions that create a predisposition to high cholesterol- like hypothyroidism. That’s why it’s important to understand the whole picture and address the cause. At Good Natured Medicine we specialize in holistic care- treating you as the individual you are and focusing on the cause of the symptoms.

I have helped many people lower their non-desirable cholesterol levels (LDL) with botanical medicines and nutritional supplements, while raising their desirable cholesterol levels (HDL), and, of course this treatment has side effects, it’s possible that you may substantially lower your risk for other inflammatory conditions ranging from acne to cancer. How’s that for a side effect, or more accurately an additional benefit of holistic medicine.
