This morning the phone rang and my husband rolled over in bed to pick it up.....the call was from a friend of a friend of ours in Montana. We have a home there and in Arizona so we have people in both places that mean a lot to us. This time it was not a welcome call. Our neighbor had a massive heart attack and he is in critical condition in the hospital. At this stage of the game, no one can say what his prognosis will be.
When I look at this man I see someone who is not overweight, is physically very active and every time I have eaten around him he made good choices. What happened? Why?
I have to admit, after the shock of hearing this news and calling my neighbor's wife to see how she and he were doing, I felt sick to my stomach. Part of it was coming face to face with my own mortality but part of it was, here I am distributing a product that could have kept this from happening and I had not even mentioned it to them. I feel guilty and ashamed that I judged, by looking at him, that he didn't need what I had to offer.
Have you ever done that? I mean, just look at a person and presume you knew what their health was really like? We are such a superficial society but no one really knows what is going on inside of another person's body. My poor friend was building up plaque that no one even knew about, and even though he was aware of his family's predisposition to heart disease, he took no steps to do anything about helping himself. Now we may lose him and they say that if he lives, he will have brain damage. This is so sad..........he is only in his early 60's. He should be at home. He should be working in his beautiful yard and enjoying all that he prepared his retirement to be........
So many of the prescription drugs for heart disease have side effects that directly affect the kidney and liver. Hey, let's damage one to fix the other, shall we? That makes sense!!! Reliv offers Cardiosentials that does the same thing as statin drugs, in a safe and effective way.
Right now I am a little too emotional. I am sad and I am angry. If I can help just one other person so that this does not happen them I will do it for my friend. If I can help you or your loved one, just let me know. A broken heart does not have to happen.......
