PATTERN II Steroidal Hormones As They Effect Blood  Proteins and The Heart Certain  proteins (i.e., those which contain hormones or stimulate hormone production) cause excessive protein turnover, which decreases the  blood C02 levels. This results in poor protein digestion as CO2  is necessary for HCl production. This pattern is also seen with excessive or prolonged mental, emotional or physical stress resulting in, or leading toward, hyperventilation symptomatology. Hyperventilation, angina and myocardial infarction are basically the same biochemical  response to low C02 and tissue calcium. The difference being the hyperventilation patient has adequate coronary circulation and the  cardiac patient does not due to compromised liver/gall bladder function. Whether from too much protein or too much stress, low C02 seems to be the initiating factor in all the above situations. Conditions associated with excessive steroidal production in relation to protein  anabolism (growth) include: Angina Hiccups Kidney stones Anxiety (panting breath) Hyperactivity Nausea Cold sweats Indigestion (achlorhydria) Panic attacks Excessive stress Infarction Swelling (ankles,  feet, hands, eyes) Gout Kidney disease Weak digestion Heart disease Primary  Nutritive: "Anabolic Support" contains the proteolytic enzymes of ginger and the alkalizing minerals and calcium of parsley and cucumber to help metabolize and flush the excess proteins by way of the kidneys.  In addition, bee pollen's beneficial effect on protein anabolism  greatly supports adrenal and kidney function as well. Secondary Nutritive: "Aerobic  Support" supplies a particular strain of Nori for a complete and balanced amino acid, EPA, and calcium source for support of heart function and blood peptides. Medicinal Formula: "Heart-Rx" Dietary considerations: Decrease Increase or Add Animal Papaya Eggs Pineapple Chicken Mango Ginger Fish (moderate amount) Strength exercises: Strength training (upper body)  by slowly increasing the weight and decreasing the reps.
