The cacophony of opinions on heart health is incredible. Dr. Christopher, however, was unwavering in what was needed for a healthy heart. He advocated the Mucusless Diet, his beloved cayenne pepper, sunshine, walking barefoot in the grass, exercise, a positive mental attitude, and a good relationship with our Creator. He followed his own advice and changed his inherited weak cardiovascular state of health to possessing the cardio health of a teenager in his fifties. His busy life helping others left little time for exercise or finding correct food choices in his travels, but he still outlived the examining doctors and their predictions, who said he would die of cardiovascular disease by the age of 40. He knew we all tend to stray from this path and designed the best formula to help maintain good cardio health. Dr. Christopher wanted a heart healthy food that was stronger than drugs, so he picked fresh local hawthorn berries to make an easily consumed syrup and preserved it with cardio friendly glycerin and grape brandy. This tasty but powerful formula has been a life savior for many including my mother, who also inherited a weak heart and had many heart attacks but never any heart tissue damage due to this wonderful heart healthy formula. I remember always seeing it on her bedstand. This would be a nice place to end this newsletter, but I must inform you of current concerns.

Because of the efficacy and popularity of Dr. Christopher’s Hawthorn Berry Heart Syrup, supplies of fresh local berries, and workers to harvest the berries, achieving sufficient quantities of the product could be problematic. To assure a constant supply of a quality remedy for the heart, the Dr. Christopher Heart Formula Capsules is now available. 

The Heart Formula adds hawthorn leaves and flowers, increasing the flavonoids from the flowers, and procyanidins from the leaves. Cayenne and gingko were added for increased heart stimulation. Ginger and garlic were included to help strengthen the cardiovascular system down to a capillary level, helping equalize blood pressure. Motherwort helps regulate the pulse and buchu acts as a diuretic for water retention in the heart.

I am grateful for the plethora of medicinal plants our Creator gifted to us and hope this new formula benefits many.
