How The Amazing Vitamin D3 Could Increase Your Heart’s Pumping Power By Nearly 33%
Now, scientists at the University of Leeds have found that taking vitamin D3 – the most potent form of vitamin D – increases the heart’s pumping power by a third. The authors suspect it is because the vitamin regulates calcium levels, which play a crucial role in how the heart pumps.
A daily dose of vitamin D3 could help the millions of people who suffer from heart failure, research suggests.
EDITOR’S NOTE: I have been taking a vitamin D3 gel cap in the amount of 5,000IU on a daily basis for years, and absolutely feel it provides me with an elevated level of health and internal cardiovascular fitness along with regular gym workouts.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 1:2 (KJB)
The vitamin has long been known to help strengthen the bones, but experts are growing increasingly aware that it also has a role in cardiovascular health. Heart failure is caused by the heart failing to properly pump blood around the body, often after a heart attack, and is thought to affect around 23 million people worldwide.
Now, scientists at the University of Leeds have found that taking vitamin D3 – the most potent form of vitamin D – increases the heart’s pumping power by a third. The authors suspect it is because the vitamin regulates calcium levels, which play a crucial role in how the heart pumps.
The Amazing Health Benefits of Vitamin D3
In addition to helping your heart, there are dozens of other health benefits attached to daily taking vitamin D3.
When the heart contracts, calcium enters the heart cells, and when the heart relaxes, calcium leaves again. In heart failure patients, the calcium is not forced out on each relaxation, clogging the cells and stopping the heart from pumping properly. The scientists think vitamin D may help the heart clear calcium from the cells.
The cardiologists tested the supplement on 160 patients from Leeds who were already being treated for heart failure. The group was split in half, with some patients taking vitamin D every day for a year and the others taking a dummy ‘placebo’ tablet.
The researchers, who presented their findings yesterday at the American College of Cardiology annual conference in Chicago, measured changes in heart function with cardiac ultrasound.
They found that the patients who took vitamin D saw an increase in the volume of blood pumped out from the heart by 26 to 34 per cent. In the others, who took placebo, there was no change in cardiac function.
The authors said that taking vitamin D may reduce the need for patients to be fitted with a heart implants such as ICD defibrillators, devices which shock the heart to restore a normal rhythm. Study leader Dr Klaus Witte, consultant cardiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, said: ‘This is a significant breakthrough for patients.
‘It is the first evidence that vitamin D3 can improve heart function of people with heart muscle weakness – known as heart failure. These findings could make a significant difference to the care of heart failure patients.’
He added: ‘ICDs are expensive and involve an operation.
‘If we can avoid an ICD implant in just a few patients, then that is a boost to patients and the NHS as a whole.’
Heart failure is caused by the heart failing to properly pump blood around the body, often after a heart attack.
The condition is thought to affect around 900,000 people in Britain, about 550,000 who have received a diagnosis.
When the heart contracts, calcium enters the heart cells, and when the heart relaxes, calcium leaves again. In heart failure patients, the calcium is not forced out on each relaxation, clogging the cells and stopping the heart from pumping properly.
The scientists think vitamin D may help the heart clear calcium from the cells.
Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, which helped fund the study, said: ‘Ideally, any new treatment for heart failure should make patients feel better and live longer.
‘This research found that giving 12 months vitamin D supplementation to heart failure patients with subnormal vitamin D levels was safe and measurements of heart function showed some improvement.’ source

200 King James Bibles To The Tomoka Correctional Institution In Daytona Beach And A Single Ruckman Reference Bible To An Inmate In Rikers Island
Please pray for the inmates at the Tomoka Correctional Institution and the one inmate at Rikers Island who will be receiving God’s word through Bibles Behind Bars
Bibles Behind Bars, thanks to all y’all’s prayers and support, is off to a fast start with Bibles and books sent to the Delta Regional Unit in Arkansas, the Monroe Correctional Complex in Washington State, the Central Florida Reception Center in Orlando as well as Orange County Corrections also in Orlando. Today we received 2 requests, one for 200 Bibles to be sent to the Tomoka Correctional Institution in Daytona Beach, and an urgent request for a single Ruckman Reference Bible to be sent to an inmate housed at America’s most notorious jail, Rikers Island in New York. The belly of the Beast!
“Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;” Psalms 79:11 (KJB)
The request for the single Ruckman Reference Bible came to us from an inmate advocacy group in New York City, on behalf of the inmate who was being given a very hard time when he asked to have a Bible. Rikers Island jail is predominately Muslim, with mostly Muslim chaplains along with one or two Catholic Chaplains, so getting a Bible is a lot harder than you think it might be. We sent that Bible out, and ask you to pray for this inmate (name withheld), as well as us being able to put many more Bibles into Rikers. What a blessing that would be! Also pray for the hundreds of souls at Tomoka who will soon be receiving King James Bibles as well. Come help us, Christian, we need you!

WORLD WAR TRUMP: European Nations Like Germany, France And The United Kingdom Sending Troops To Defend Greenland From A United States Takeover
European troops arrived in Greenland to back Denmark as talks with the United States exposed deep rifts over the Arctic island’s future and security
This article makes the 11,591st article that I have personally written over the past 17 years, and believe me when I tell you, the headline at the top of this page is the strangest one I have ever done. I know, I talk all the time about the coming world war, and give all sorts of facts, figures and scriptures to make my case, but when it actually begins to come to pass, it is a strange feeling. Only the Lord knows how far this will go, but at least for the moment, the wheels are in motion.
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)
While the MAGA Movement may be salivating at the thought of Trump taking Greenland by military force, the majority of rationally-thinking Americans do not want to acquire the island in such a manner. Indeed moves like that are precisely where world wars come from. Someone earlier today suggested that they suspect that Donald Trump may have recently had a stroke by way of attempting to explain his ever-increasing irrational behavior. At his age, that could certainly be true, but I am still sticking to my original hypothesis that the warning shot to his right ear is what is driving him closer and closer to the brink of war. Keep your eyes on Germany and France, that’s where the last two world wars came from.
European troops arrive in Greenland to support Denmark amid dispute with the United States
FROM SCRIPPS NEWS: Troops from several European countries, including France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Sweden, are arriving in Greenland in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. on Wednesday highlighted “fundamental disagreement” between the Trump administration and European allies on the future of the Arctic island.
Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in Greenland on Wednesday and several European partners started sending symbolic numbers of troops on that day, just as the Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers were preparing to meet with White House representatives in Washington. The troop movements were intended to portray unity among Europeans and send a signal to U.S. President Donald Trump that an American takeover of Greenland is not necessary as NATO together can safeguard the security of the Arctic region amid rising Russian and Chinese interest.

“The first French military elements are already en route” and “others will follow,” French President Emmanuel Macron announced Wednesday, as French authorities said about 15 soldiers from the mountain infantry unit were already in Nuuk for a military exercise.
Germany will deploy a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel to Greenland on Thursday, its Defense Ministry said.
On Thursday, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the intention was “to establish a more permanent military presence with a larger Danish contribution,” according to Danish broadcaster DR. He said soldiers from several NATO countries will be in Greenland on a rotation system.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, flanked by his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt, said Wednesday that a “fundamental disagreement” over Greenland remains with Trump after they held highly anticipated talks at the White House with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rasmussen added that it remains “clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland” but that dialogue with the U.S. would continue at a high level over the following weeks. Inhabitants of Greenland and Denmark reacted with anxiety but also some relief that negotiations with the U.S. would go on and European support was becoming visible. READ MORE

Iran Closes Airspace In Move That Signals An Attack By Either Israel Or The United States May Be Imminent
Many European nations as well as the United States have issued an ‘urgent warning’ for their citizens to leave Iran immediately as airspace is closed tight
The world is holding its collective breath right now, waiting for a strike on the imperiled Iranian regime that nearly all outlets say could happen at any moment. The Middle East has literally closed its doors, with as many foreign nations evacuated as possible. Donald Trump has promised the US would strike if they killed their citizens, and with the death toll now over 12,000, the moment of truth has arrived. Will he or won’t he?
“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.” Daniel 5:25 (KJB)
Everywhere around the world you look right now, nearly all of it seems to be up for grabs and in motion, and one man is there in the middle of it as perhaps the greatest change agent that exists in politics right now. Steve Bannon calls Donald Trump ‘the Disrupter’, and very few could successfully argue against that. Everywhere he goes and everything he touches becomes hyper-polarized and infused with chaos and turmoil. While the world waits to see what he will do in Iran, Europe is already planning to withstand him in Greenland. The world is indeed realigning itself right now, with the pieces being moved around to prepare for the arrival of the soon-coming 7-year kingdom, and the man who will run it.
Iran closes airspace as Western military official says signals show US attack ‘imminent’
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Iran has issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) late on Wednesday night, closing its airspace to all flights, as Western military officials say US military action in the country is “imminent.” Flight tracker websites showed the airspace over Iran and Iraq emptying rapidly prior to the NOTAM’s issuing. The advisory is valid for a little more than two hours, Flightradar24 said.
“All the signals are that a US attack is imminent, but that is also how this administration behaves to keep everyone on their toes. Unpredictability is part of the strategy,” a Western military official told Reuters later on Wednesday.
Shortly before the NOTAM was issued, US President Trump held a press conference in which he said he was told that the killings in Iran had stopped. When asked if the US was still considering military action, Trump answered, “We’re going to watch and see what the process is.”
One of the main driving forces behind the protests of the Iranian people against the regime was the PROMISE of President Donald Trump to step in and help them obtain their freedom. Trump has now broken that promise and abandoned the Iranians who trusted him. @POTUS @WhiteHouse pic.twitter.com/jriuWnU2JV

Both Poland and Italy have urged their citizens to leave Iran immediately. The British embassy in Tehran has been temporarily closed. Less than 24 hours before, the US had urged its own citizens to leave. The US has also withdrawn military personnel from the US military’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. READ MORE

A US military strike on Iran is imminent, officials have warned as the world is waiting with bated breath amid fears the first protester has already been executed. American troops and staff have started withdrawing from key military bases across the Middle East as tensions escalate in the region.
