How To Survive A Heart Attack ...
While You're Alone!

What are you to do if you have a heart attack while you are alone.
If you've already received this, it means people care about you.
The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this and did an in-depth study on it in our ICU.
The two individuals that discovered this then did an article on it, had it published and have had it
incorporated into ACLS and CPR classes.
It is very true and has and does work.

It is called cough CPR.   A cardiologist says it's the truth if everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people,
You can bet that we'll save at least one life.
It could save your life!

Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. And you're driving home (alone of course),
after an usually hard day on the job.   You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start
experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out
into your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
What can you do?
You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course didn't tell you what to do if it happened to
yourself.

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 every 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!

Milton Erickson said we each have inside us a massive warehouse of possibility just waiting to be
discovered! The problem is that we're using a small pen light with which to see.
In the same way, many personal development approaches focus on the mind while ignoring the
warehouse of your true potential - that is the subtle energy system of your mind-body.

Seeing this potential for yourself can happen instantly, but awakening fully to it requires consistent
DAILY practice.

After much anticipation, the USDA today bids farewell to the
often-confusing pyramid, replacing it with a new visual food
plate.

Dear God, I pray for a cure for cancer. Amen

I was asked by a good friend who recently learned she has breast cancer to pass this on -
I hope you will join me in this effort.

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it's
only to one more person. In memory of anyone you know
Who has been struck by cancer or is still living with it.

A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle..

As wonderful as LIFE can be. . . .
for some it is frought with fear, hurt, anger and other feelings that can
be so dangerous to one's health. . . . .

Please read the messages below about heart attacks
- when you are alone
- when you are with friends

and be prepared to help yourself or someone else.
My 41 year old son had to drive himself to the hospital, knowing he
was having a stroke or heart attack as he knew the symptoms being
a firefighter! He was fortunate - we want you to be as fortunate!!
