Heart to Heart: care for your heart naturally (Karma Unlimited Books)

For the first time--two best-selling authors write a natural health book from the points of view of patient and caregiver. Michael Foster, born in Brooklyn, the tough kid on the block, was awarded a full scholarship to Cornell and Harvard, traveled to exotic dangerous places and wrote thrilling novels and noteworthy biographies. In love for forty years, Letha, a natural health expert, and Michael wrote books, lived summers in Vermont, winters in Miami with their cats. He was laid low after losing a fortune in stock market crashes. Together they wrote Heart to Heart a book that can save your life and love despite illness, separation and despair.The authors share intimate, practical and highly original recommendations for heart health care rarely discussed in medical books--how to prevent or comfortably live with heart disease, enjoy a passionate love life, deal with pesky friends and relatives, how to safely avoid colds and flu, superbugs, stress and guilt, and when possible to find safe, effective natural alternatives in order to avoid dangerous side-effects of medical drugs and surgery.Filled with solid research and simple at home methods to measure daily progress, Heart to Heart is the comprehensive home companion for people living alone, essential for home nurses and loving partners. Most caregivers are unprepared for the task of keeping their patient and their loving spirit alive. At least 40 percent of American caregivers are men, many are millennials, unschooled in care-giving. Topics in Heart to Heart cover simple dietary recommendations, herbal medicines that may enhance or, in some cases, replace heart drugs, relaxing baths, targeted massage, visualizations, and many ways to reduce anxiety, stress, fatigue and inevitable caregiver impatience and guilt. Heart to Heart is a triumph of love and Nature in the face of our greatest health threat, heart disease.
