I am recovering from broken heart syndrome. Do you have any thoughts on this? I would be interested to know how to keep from having another one. Stress is the biggest factor.
The emotional connections to health are too often ignored. In traditional societies, the heart is either associated with feelings (when the brain is associated with thoughts), or with thoughts, while the bowels are associated with feelings. Either way, feelings or thoughts will be manifest in a physical organ.
There are safe ways to help our organs, which I will share with you, but unless the basic issues at the stress level, especially dealing with the stress/abuse of a broken heart, are addressed, they are mere band-aids.
Find the joy you need and deserve; leave the past in the past; forgive, if possible; find a purpose bigger than the hurt.
For the heart itself, magnesium is probably the single biggest support for the heart-500 to 800 mg per day. If your broken heart is associated with fatigue, consider CoQ10, 200 mg per day, L-carnitine–1000 mg per day. If there are arrhythmias or high blood pressure, also add hawthorne berry.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:

If you take Accel (Al Sears’ coq10 with tocotrienols) you only need one capsule (50 mg.) It’s a more powerful version of coQ10 than most. I take Cardio FX instead of fish oil. Read up on the product.

A great holistic Chiropractic Physician that deals specifically with releasing negative trapped emotions is Dr. Bradley Nelson. http://www.drbradleynelson.com He has trained thousands to clear heart-walls. He and Dr. Gardner are changing the world for the better. Thank you both.

Sorry to hear about your broken heart. Any thoughts on incorporating some relaxation practices into your daily routine. Studies abound with evidence that yoga, breathing exercises and meditation can make a huge difference if practiced long term.

Suz, Andrea, Daniel, Thanks for adding your suggestions in this field of emotional impact on the physical body. We all need to find the program that works for me.
