Donald Gazzaniga, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, was headed for a heart transplant - the only effective medical treatment. Urged by his doctor to keep his sodium intake "under 1,500-2000 mg. a day," Don headed for the kitchen and went to work. Aware that cutting out table salt is the barest beginning of a true low-sodium diet, Don devised recipes for delicious low-sodium dishes that added up to less than 500 mg. daily, 70% lower than those in other low-sodium cookbooks. The result? Don's name has been removed from the transplant list and his doctors believe that his diet played a significant role. The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook contains: * Hundreds of good tasting, easy-to-make recipes * An introduction by Dr. Sandra Barbour of the Kaiser Permanente Foundation * Advice on finding low-sodium prepared foods, eating in restaurants, etc. * Accurate sodium content of every ingredient and of the total servings * A twenty-eight-day low-sodium menu planner by Dr. Jeannie Gazzaniga, Ph.D., R.D.

My ejection fraction was just 10%. Now it is 55% - 60%, no defibrillator or pacemaker was implanted. Doctor recommended a heart transplant. During those years, I could not swim. Now I swim over 200 yards a day. I also play tennis, ping-pong, basketball, and exercise for 2 hours a day. I lift lightweights. I had several setbacks and health problems. All were solved. My health was regained with the use of alternative medicine.

After 37 years, he left Poland for work in Mexico. Later he worked in the textile mill and is a textile engineer. After three years of working in Mexico, he moved to the United States. He settled down in Dalton, Georgia, later moved to Athens, Georgia, followed by a move to Greensboro, Georgia. I walk, swim, ride my bicycle and exercise at the wellness center, but I also take time for meditation, relaxation, soft music and play piano, as well as reading and walking. I also write books and stories. Besides this book, I wrote a book titled The Best of Both Worlds — in Basketball. I was a player for 16 years and a coach for 22 years in Poland, Mexico and the USA. I had quite a lot of success, mainly because of a different form of coaching. I want to share this with others. The basketball book is not published yet, but it is almost finished. I miss taking pictures, which I do as well. I also started to write a book on business. Besides this, I am writing my memoirs and some short stories — I have over 60 of these. Some of them were printed in the local newspaper. The subjects are different and they are usually about they experiences I had on my many trips. They are humorous stories. I also wrote two stories contained in the book, Imagination. They are: My Long Way to America and Visiting Eva. I never thought that I would do some of the things that I do now, like meditation, chi-gong, relaxation, acupressure, acupuncture, etc., but it is beneficial and highly recommended for my body, so I do it. I also take frequent breaks from my work and exercise. I am glad that I do it. It helps my health. Henry and his wife, Teresa, live in Georgia.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a disease that originates from an inadequacy of the heart to maintain blood circulation, resulting in congestion and edema in the body tissues. CHF affects about five million patients in the US alone and an estimated 23 million patients worldwide, and is the only cardiac disease that is growing in prevalence, due to both increasing survival rates of myocardial infarctions and ageing population. In this book, the authors aim to uncover the many hormonal influences on myocardial function and discuss possible aetiological mechanisms, diagnostic modalities and management strategies of the Takotsubo syndrome.Hardcover: 226 pages Company: Nova Science Pub Inc (2010-07) ISBN: 1608766772 List Price: $115.00 Amazon Price: $111.00 Used Price: $103.49
