You Can Make A Difference
During
a BBQ gathering, a friend stumbled and took a little fall. She
assured everyone that she was fine. They offered to call paramedics,
but she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her
new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a fresh plate of food. While
she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself
the rest of the evening.
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had
been taken to the hospital. At 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away. She
had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had someone known how to identify
the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would have survived. Some
stroke victims don't die, but they end up in a helpless, hopeless
condition instead.
Neurologists say that if they can get to a stroke victim within
3 hours of the episode they can totally reverse the effects of
a stroke ... totally. The trick is to recognize and diagnose the
event as a stroke, and then to get the patient medically cared
for within 3 hours.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
You can recognize a stroke by asking a suspected victim to perform
three tasks:
S - Ask them
to SMILE.
T - Ask them
to TALK. Have them speak a simple sentence coherently, e.g., “It
is a sunny day today.”
R - Ask them
to RAISE both of their arms.
If they have trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
Describe the symptoms to the dispatcher and then follow their
instructions.
NOTE: Another stroke 'sign': Ask the person to 'stick' out their
tongue. If their tongue is 'crooked', i.e., if it hangs to one
side or the other, it's an indication of a possible stroke. --
Since
many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article
seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is
beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about
10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly
and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each
cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing
sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be
repeated about very two seconds without let up until help arrives,
or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements
squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing
pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this
way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many
other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

Factoid
Due
to the power and corrupting influence of Big
Pharma, the teaching
of nutritional science and the use of vitamin and herbal supplements
is
not taught to any significant extent in our medical schools.
The obvious
reason is that teaching this science reduces the use of prescription
drugs.
