Cardiac Hazards: Know Them to Fix Them

What does the plant kingdom have to offer the hearts that have been injured or jeopardized by the COVID vaccines? Let’s explore both the problem and some possible solutions.

IPAK-EDU hosts hour-long talks focusing on health challenges and problems in the COVID era, and ways to address these, with research and brainstorming. https://ipak-edu.org/course-listings/

When I was given the opportunity recently to present my thoughts on this forum, I focused on what we have known of the vulnerabilities of hearts that have been damaged or merely jeopardized by the mRNA COVID injections.  The better we understand this damage, the more specifically and appropriately we can choose among the medicines available to help.

IPAK-EDU has generously offered to make this talk available to my Substack readers at:

The IPAK-EDU sign up page is here with additional information here.

In this talk, I focused on what botanical medicine has to offer a mRNA shot injured heart.  First I discussed those specific injuries, and then what the plant world may offer to address them.

The talk is at this link, and the timestamps below focus on specific aspects of this relatively novel type of heart injury, followed by herbs that we could consider for addressing those needs. 

But in case you want the quick gist of any of the subtopics, please see the following links.

First, let’s look at the purpose of cardiomyocytes, one of the two cell types in the cardiovascular system that we find are most threatened by the COVID vaccines.  I talk about cardiomyocyte function at timestamps 4:02 to 5:38, at this link.

And then the cardiomyocyte lifespan from 10:49 to 12:19 linked here.

The problem is that the COVID vaccines make harder work for the cardiomyocytes, which never get to just relax on the couch and take a break, as other muscle cells get to do now and then.  Let’s look at that relentless hard work at timestamps 14:14 to 17:46, at this link.

Our challenge is that the blood vessels are forced to deal with debris, which leads to turbulence in the flow of blood, which in turn leads to microclotting and a resulting viscosity.  Timestamps are 33:50 to 36:05, and are at this link.

We can measure this by D-dimer and other labs, 29:57 to 32:07, here.

The location of the problem is mostly at the level of the capillaries, the smallest of the blood vessels, where it is simply easier for debris to get stuck in the narrow passages.  Let’s look at that from 24:05 to 26:20 and from 36:17 to 43:26 at this link.

So what herbs best address this set of challenges?  I think the most important of these herbs is Leonurus cardiaca, and I discuss that at 43:28 to 50:54, culminating with this slide, and at this link.

Leonurus more specifically addresses the vulnerabilities of the COVID vaccine-damaged or threatened heart than any herb I have seen.   These are the mechanisms it has to offer:

Later I talk about some other herbs that may also be helpful here.

Early in 2021 I had warned against the COVID vaccines for all age groups, while a number of famous doctors were still recommending them for seniors.  I explained why the COVID shots were dangerous for all hearts here and here.  Later others, far more famous than I, came around to the same conclusions. 

But it was already too late to convince billions of people whose hearts had been jeopardized or damaged by the COVID vaccines. 

Can the plant kingdom be tapped for solutions to this problem? I think so, and that Leonurus is a plant of particular interest.

Thank you to the gracious hosts, Jack and Don allowing me to present these thoughts on their forum, https://IPAK-EDU.org.
