When my grandma was about to die i had the very fortunate possiblity to say goodbye to her. We both knew we weren't going to see each other ever again. We were both at peace. "As long as you're not in pain i'm okay with it grandma".
Thinking back i still think that is one of the most peaceful ways to "go". If i had not had the chance to say goodbye to her i would have taken a lot longer to get my mental system at ease.
This is no excuse or helping at all, but just my point of experiences.

now bringing you to current.....i've had problems recently with my heartrate going out of whack....i've been hooked up to a home monitor and my resting heart rate is staying around 150......and during activites it had gone so high that the monitor started double counting.(? I have no idea what that means) my doctor wants to give me a shot to STOP my heart and see if it will restart on its own in a normal fashion .....or if this is something more serious....I really am not to sure about him STOPPING it....sounds like it might not start back........

I think the doctor concluded your heart has an irregular or noisy hear rythm. One of the best solutions is to actually stop the heart beat and let the heart itself restart.
Defibrillators (the jumper cables) do the same thing. It's a common myth that defibrillators make your heart start up, but they just do the opposite! They stop the irregular heart beat and give the body a chance to come up with a nice heart beat again.
In
my (so don't sue me please) opinion if you feel healthy. stay the hell away from the hospital. If you feel ill, then start treatment.

Research suggests that antioxidants found in chocolate - the same ones also found in green tea, red wine, orange juice, spinach, onions, corn, strawberries, bananas and apples - reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants prevent cell damage from toxins or free radicals, which our bodies produce and are thought to accelerate the aging process.
