The Holistic Health Warrior

Chronic heart failure is not a pretty disease to watch one suffer from or lose the battle to. I know because I watched my own Dad suffer for years off and on  and I ultimately watched him die as I  held his hand while he took his last breath July 26, 2009.

I wish this information on the benefits of acupuncture had been discovered years ago. Maybe it would have helped my Dad have a better quality of life those last few years. But nonetheless my prayer is that by passing this on, it might help someone else now.

New research by a team of researchers in Germany suggests that acupuncture can improve exercise tolerance in patients suffering from chronic heart failure. (Credit: Heidelberg University Hospital)
