One 1998 study by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine has confirmed what 10 other surveys have
found: Men who are clinically depressed are twice as likely as those who aren't to suffer heart attacks or
develop other heart illnesses. If the "heartache" is severe enough, several ways will appear to shut down
the arteries and, in fact, the entire energy system in the body. Gene research has shown that the double
strands of the DNA, which controls the health of every cell in your body, will instantly contract and
shorten whenever you feel fear, frustration, anger, jealously or hatred. It's like the malfunctioning of a
computer's software program that renders the computer incapable of performing properly. By applying the
procedure of Kinesiology (muscling testing) to a depressed or unhappy person, you find that all the
muscles in his body are weak, especially while he ponders his personal problems. His discontent also
affects the muscles of his heart and arteries. If unhappiness persists, disease is inevitable, and whatever
part of his body is the weakest will succumb first to the chronic shortage of energy. If it happens to be the
heart, then heart disease may result.
Even if such a person doses himself with antioxidants, which are believed to protect the arteries
against oxygen radical attacks, they will neither be digested and assimilated nor be successfully delivered
to the damaged arteries. Lack of satisfaction in life paralyzes the body's functions of digestion,
metabolism and elimination. This causes congestion, high toxicity, and damage to all cell tissues. People
who have blocked coronary arteries are not just sick in the area of the heart, they are sick throughout the
body, and they are sick in their sense of self. The most important determinant factor of disease appears to
be the inability to live a happy, satisfying life. A new study on women published in the medical journal
General Psychiatry and reported by the mass media in September 2007 showed that women suffering a
panic attack have a three times higher risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke within five years.
How does a prolonged state of anger, depression or anxiety damage the heart? That's a question
researchers have been asking for years. A research team led by Dr. Boyle, Duke University North
Carolina, wanted to find out if a troubled mind might trigger the type of inflammation that could damage
the heart and blood vessels. In a group of more than 300 healthy middle-age men, between 1972 and
2002, the Duke researchers monitored blood levels of two key inflammation markers known as C3 and
C4. C3 has been particularly linked to a higher risk of heart disease. Depression, anger, and hostility were
also assessed. In a recent issue of the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity, the Duke team reports that
the highest increases in C3 between 1992 and 2002 were seen in men who displayed the highest levels of
depression, anger and hostility.
A new study funded by health agencies in the British and U.S. governments finds that those who think
they've been treated unfairly are more likely to have coronary problems. The main message taken from
this study is that if you believe life to be unfair, your heart may be failing you. The study found that
people who thought they were treated unfairly were more likely to suffer a heart attack or chest pain.
Those who believed they were victims of the worst injustice were 55 percent more likely to experience a
coronary event than people who thought life was fair. According to this report published in the Journal of
Epidemiology and Community Health (Vol. 61, No. 6, June 2007: 513-518), people who think they are
victims of discrimination often respond by drinking, smoking or overeating. The researchers suggested
that the question of unfairness be raised with patients at routine medical checkups.
The reason modern medicine is so helpless in providing lasting cures for heart disease is because not
much in the current medical approach can increase happiness in a patient. Yet there is hardly any other
primary risk factor for disease, including coronary heart disease, other than lack of happiness and
satisfaction. It is the absence of inner happiness and peace of heart and mind that makes a person feel
stressed, take drugs, overeat protein and other foods, abuse alcohol and cigarettes, drink excessive
amounts of coffee, become a workaholic, or dislike his job or himself.
