Many of you have written to me telling me that you've been diagnosed with a certain circulatory disorder and you are wondering if my programs can help. Oftentimes, your diagnosis is ambiguous and treatment options are vague. Many of you don't know why circulation is so important to the body.

The short answer is oxygen. The organs and tissues of the body need oxygen not only to survive but to perform optimally. Blood is the delivery system for oxygen. If that delivery system is blocked or slowed, the effects can be potentially life threatening - both initially and over time.

When referring to circulatory disorders, there are in fact two different groups in which they fall: heart disorders (disorders involving the heart and/or its valves and arteries) and blood disorders (disorders affecting red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, enzymes and/or plasma).

The list of heart disorders is massive. Some of the more frequent types of heart disorders are: Heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, heart failure, congenital (from birth) defects, and heart muscle disease.

Symptoms of heart disorders can include: chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, poor circulation, hypertension (high blood pressure), hypotension (low blood pressure), tachycardia (pulse over 100 beats per minute) and bradycardia (pulse under 60 beats per minute), nausea, dizziness, numbness in limbs, fainting and perspiration.

Risk factors include: high blood pressure (although mentioned as a symptom above, chronic high blood pressure can, over time damage the heart and other major organs), high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, smoking, lack of physical activity, heredity, stress and excessive alcohol and/or drug use.

Just as there are many types of heart disorders, the same can be said for blood disorders. Some of the more common blood disorders include: reduced numbers of white blood cells (leucopenia and its associated diseases), a reduced number of red blood cells (various anemias), reduced platelets (thrombocytopenia and its associated diseases), too many red blood cells (polycythemia) or too many white blood cells.

Futhermore, some blood disorders are due to sparse or abnormal blood clotting.

Signs of blood disorders involve: fatigue, shortness of breath, weight loss, fever, bruising, chest pain, irritability, numbness and/or coldness in hands and feet, headache, pale skin and too much bleeding .

Origins of blood disorders involve: vitamin deficiency, blood loss, certain chronic illnesses, genetic disorders, side effects of certain drugs, and cancers of the cells.

Since the list of warnings for each type of circulatory disorder is so massive and they many times overlap, it is important to see your doctor to make sure of your condition. For some of the circulatory disorders (especially the blood disorders), medication may have to be an option. This can be scary to many (including me) on account of all medications have side effects, many of them dangerous.

For other conditions, medication may be only one method of treatment and there are many times, more natural methods of treatment, such as exercise, diet and/or getting your needed amount of vitamins and minerals. It is important to insist that your doctor describe the benefits and potential drawbacks of all therapies.

If weight loss is your issue and is contributing to other illnesses or disorders, I highly encourage you to try my all natural Weight Loss Breeze program. It's also very effective to increase the oxygen level in the body. Additionally, if high or low blood pressure is your problem. Please try my High Blood pressure program. The breathing and relaxation exercises are simple to do and best of all, effective!

I recently had a client inform me her mother had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. She encouraged her to try my High Blood Pressure program. Her mother suffered from dementia, so other treatment methods were difficult since they involved daily medication or other complicated steps.

While her blood pressure did go down, that wasnt the major point of her communication to me. It turns out that her mothers dementia symptoms greatly subsided once she started my program!

Dementia figuratively means, deprived of mind. It is a increasing decline in cognitive function which affects memory, attention, orientation, judgment language, motor and problem solving skills. Like vertigo which is basically dizziness due to a myriad of causes, dementia is not a disease per se but instead is caused by damage or disease.

Once thought of as part of the aging process, dementia is now thought to be a deterioration due to damage (stroke or other vascular damage, head trauma, alcoholism " due to lack of thiamine and certain other vitamin deficiencies), or disease (Alzheimers " the most common type of dementia, syphilis, Lewy bodies, brain tumors, Picks disease, HIV and/or AIDs, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntingtons disease and Multiple Sclerosis).

Common symptoms include moodiness, memory loss, and communication difficulties (including the ability to read and write). Due to the progressive nature of most forms of dementia, the sufferer eventually finds it difficult to perform everyday tasks and can eventually become unable to care for his/herself.

While no longer considered a normal part of aging, studies do reflect that dementia affects 1% of the population over the age of 60, that number doubling every five years after. Interestingly enough, those who are bi or multi-lingual have tend to experience symptoms an average of 4 years later. Use it or lose it, definitely figures in.

Blood tests, CT, PET and MRI scans can rule out dementia due to certain diseases or injuries (stroke), however, many are required to take mental and cognitive tests.

Ones socio-economic, cultural and educational background when administering the test must also be taken into account. Just as many claim IQ tests are biased, it sometimes can be difficult to know what normal is for a patient.

Risk factors include smoking and drinking (alcohol), due to the fact that it puts you at an increased risk for vascular diseases, which in turn puts you at risk for dementia. High cholesterol and diabetes can also contribute.

The reason for dementia is LACK of OXYGEN to vital parts of the brain, regardless of how it occurs (through brain trauma such as a stroke or Alzheimers disease). There are some types of dementia that can be reversed while others cant.

However, do not consider having dementia a death sentence, even if your doctor claims otherwise. New research is emerging on the effects of oxygen on already damaged tissues in the brain. The most important key is delivering the oxygen to the necessary areas of the brain. Worst case, you dont want the dementia to progress.

I highly recommend my programs due to the fact that they are completely natural, relaxation and breathing exercises specifically designed to get blood/oxygen to your major organs, including the brain. My Alzheimers program is coming soon!.
