See article keywords and concepts |  If they even survived the initial chemical onslaught, most chemotherapy patients begin to show symptoms of heart damage, liver damage, kidney damage or brain damage within a few years (if not right away). They often live in a state of severe immune system suppression, and when their cancer returns, they have few internal resources left to stave off the disease. That's why cancers often return as more aggressive diseases following chemotherapy. The chemo destroys the immune system and lets cancer have free reign over the body. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Every drug has unintended side effects which include nutritional deficiencies, biochemical imbalances, liver damage, heart damage and even death. Vioxx alone -- which was approved by the FDA and heavily pushed by drug company advertising -- reportedly killed well over 50,000 Americans according to the FDA's own senior drug safety scientist Dr. David Graham. |

Among patients in Dr Hoffer's care, C.B., a middle-aged woman who had prided herself on her memory, had a mild stroke, but after her recovery, her memory was not nearly as good. She found this a terrible handicap. After a few months on niacin, her memory was partially restored and she was content.
Another case involved a young man who was struck on the head by a heavy object during an industrial accident. |

See book keywords and concepts |  An animal study in which subjects were given either tomato juice or a lycopene supplement, and then had heart damage introduced, found that both reduced lipid peroxidation; however, only tomato juice reduced heart cell death and damage to the heart and improved heart function. An in vitro study using tomato extract found that tomatoes contain compounds that reduced platelet aggregation (blood stickiness). |

See book keywords and concepts |  Permanent heart damage that results from rheumatic fever is called rheumatic heart disease. The heart is usually affected to some degree, and there can be lasting damage to the valves. There is no cure, but it can be prevented by promptly treating strep throat with antibiotics. This condition mostly affects children, although adults can also get it. Often it is so mild that children do not know that they have it, and only discover that they have rheumatic heart disease later in life. It is now a more rare condition as the streptococcal bacteria that causes it is much less common. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Antibiotics are one of the leading culprits for this form of heart damage.
For many years, antibiotics have been over-prescribed, often for simple infections such as the common cold and flu on which they have no effect at all. It is common knowledge that antibiotics don't kill viruses, only bacteria. A more recent study shows that the popular antibiotic erythromycin, which has been widely used since the 1950s, may actually trigger cardiac arrest. |

See article keywords and concepts |  New research, by the way, shows that chemotherapy drugs cause heart damage to women, leading to heart failure. Even mainstream oncologists are starting to think that maybe the industry should stop using these toxic drugs to treat breast cancer. As Dr. Pamela Douglas, a Duke University cardiologist recently said, "In the process of curing their breast cancer, we've exposed them to some pretty nasty things. And it's not just one nasty thing, it's a sequence of nasty things." Those nasty things, it turns out, cause permanent damage to the heart, kidney, liver and brain. |

See article keywords and concepts |  In fact, most pharmaceuticals cause damage to various organs of the body, including liver damage, heart damage, brain damage and kidney damage. Many pharmaceuticals cause heart attacks and strokes, and nearly all pharmaceuticals cause nutritional deficiencies that are almost never mentioned by doctors, drug companies or even the FDA. Furthermore, most drugs don't even work on most people. To be approved by the FDA, a pharmaceutical only has to demonstrate some effect on about five percent of those who take it. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Yamamura listed sixty-seven clinical studies that evaluated coenzyme Qio in cases of heart muscle disease, arrhythmias, and heart damage from drugs, high blood pressure, and stroke. At the same time, Per Langsjoen, M.D., in Texas, reported on coenzyme Q10 as a valuable nutrient for cardiomyopathy in a double-blind test.
Just one year later (in 1986), the prestigious Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society was awarded to Dr. Folkers, who is often called the "father of coenzyme Qio" for his research into this nutrient as well as others. | | Any intervention that will slow the rate of ATP degradation, accelerate the rate of salvage, or speed the recovery rate of ATP will minimize heart damage and improve cardiac function in chronically hypoxic hearts. For example, when we give "clot-busting drugs" like TPA and streptokinase in the emergency room, the goal is to open the coronary vessel as soon as possible, to restore the flow of blood and oxygen, thereby rescuing the heart so that it can maintain the ATP production that will prevent cell death.
Many heart diseases have dysfunctional energy metabolism at their core. |
Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews
See book keywords and concepts |  A chemotherapy drug called adriamycin (ADR) is one of the most effective broad-spectrum chemotherapy agents, but the dosage in which it can be used is limited because it also causes heart damage. One way to circumvent this type of toxicity problem is to combine a lower dosage of the chemotherapeutic drug with another agent that enhances the drug's effectiveness and minimizes its adverse effects. Dr. Yasuyuki Sadzuka and fellow cancer investigators from the University of Shizuoka, Japan, performed a novel study to determine whether green tea could contribute to more effective use of ADR.

Because of its broad-reaching benefits, I believe that using rhodiola as a part of a clinical protocol for people with Alzheimer's disease, cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue immune deficiency syndrome, diabetes, and congestive heart failure makes very good sense.
Additional Information
Several other species from the Rhodiola genus are used in folk medicine. None of them contain the rosavins found in R. rosea, and they do not seem to have the same level of activity. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In certain circumstances this drug can release iron from its storage protein (ferritin), resulting in heart damage. [Arch Biochem Biophysics 248: 684-89, 1986] The beating force of the heart is reduced by 50 % with Adriamycin. [Cancer Chemotherapy Pharmacology 37: 55-62, 1995] Even if Adriamycin cures cancer, the patient is likely to die of a heart problem.
Recently, an oral drug that can remove iron from the body was introduced. |

See article keywords and concepts |  When FDA-approved prescription drugs are killing 100,000 Americans each year (that's twenty times as many American soldiers who have died in Iraq), when over-the-counter painkillers kill another 16,500 Americans each year from gastrointestinal bleeding, and when routine medicines like statin drugs or blood pressure medications cause severe liver damage, brain damage and heart damage, it is obscenely disproportionate to suggest that a ground-up succulent is somehow the greater danger.
Plant-based medicine is magnitudes of order safer than pharmaceutical medicine. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This was the first study with humans to show that: statin drugs could lower CoQ10; the shortfall could harm the heart; and both the deficit and the accompanying heart damage could easily be reversed.
The Greater the Statin Dose, the Lower the CoQ10
Three years later, a group of British researchers examined the effects of a different statin drug, simvastatin, on CoQ10. For their study, they compared groups of people who were either taking the drug and eating a special diet, were only eating the special diet, or were doing nothing. | | Depending on where the bacteria have taken up residence in your body, you may suffer from headaches, insomnia, delirium, abdominal pain, vomiting, heart damage, anemia, and pneumonia.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be fatal, but fortunately, antibiotics such as chloramphenicol can cut the risk of death significandy. Although it has largely been superseded by newer antibiotics, chloramphenicol still is used sometimes. It works by interferring with the ability of microbes to manufacture protein. | | Excessive amounts of the vitamin may cause heart damage, oxalate kidney stones, and a buildup of iron. | | When You Run Short of Selenium
A lack of selenium may cause heart damage, cataracts, and slow growth.
What the Research Shows
Studies suggest that selenium may play a key role in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.
• Cancer. Some, but not all, studies of large population groups suggest that the risk of dying from lung, prostate, colorectal, and other cancers is lower among those who have higher selenium intakes or greater amounts of the mineral in their blood.
• Heart disease. Some studies have linked low levels of selenium with heart disease. | | The group taking the melatonin had less weakness, inflammation of the mouth, and nerve and heart damage than those receiving chemotherapy alone.
Other studies have arrived at similar results. Perhaps, one day, melatonin will be routinely offered to people undergoing chemotherapy.
Daily Requirement
There is no daily requirement for melatonin. Supplemental dosages of melatonin may range from 0.5 to 5 mg per day.
Safety and Side Effects
We don't yet know how much melatonin can be taken without triggering side effects or for how long the hormone can be used. | | Excessive amounts of iron can cause diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis of the liver, and heart damage.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is 45 mg iron per day for males and females ages 14 and up. For children up to the age of 14, the UL is 40 mg daily.

As studies showed that more than 10 percent of all adverse drug reactions reported to the FDA were cardiovascular in nature, several drugs were either voluntarily withdrawn or ordered off the market. Then, in 2004, Vioxx, Merck's vaunted COX-2 painkiller, along with Pfizer's COX-2 drugs, became the biggest nonwar and nonelection story of the year. |
