Heart Pain

Heart Pain

Pain over the heart region is usually quite real, even though
an EKG does not find any abnormality. The most common cause
is Dirofilaria, heartworm of dogs. It often begins as a pain just
above the heart but spreads itself over the whole heart region.
Kill it with your zapper. Parasite herbs can also be effective. If
you did kill them, the pain often intensifies for a day before it
leaves. Then the pain should be completely gone.

Heartworm is very easy to pick up again. If you have had
heartworm, you should no longer keep a dog for a pet. Give it
away.
Another heart parasite, Loa loa, is also a filarial worm and
may be the causative factor. Both Dirofilaria and Loa loa can be
obtained as slide specimens to use for testing yourself. Heart
muscle can also be obtained as a slide specimen, but a chicken
heart from the grocery store or snippets of beef heart (make sure
to sample all 4 chambers) will do.
Follow up on your heart, even when no pain remains. These
tiny heart parasites have stages that you may not be able to purchase
in slide form and therefore can't test for. These stages, if
not killed, will become adults so a maintenance parasite killing
program, herbal or electronic, is essential. Virtually all dogs
have Dirofilaria in spite of monthly medicine to kill it. They pick
it up immediately after their last treatment for it and can give it to
you again. The only way to live safely with pets is to give them
parasite killing herbs daily in the feed.
Other heart problems such as irregular beat and mitral valve
prolapse can clear up along with the pain. Or they may be due to
bacteria (see Heart Disease, page 318).
