Also both of my grandfathers had heart issues plus my sister and several cousins.

I live among trees also---have for much of my life. Not saying this idea isn't true.

I love all my Oak trees in my yard. It makes it a lot cooler in the summer and lifts my spirit to spend time outside. I too have many heart issues but I would have had them because it is hereditary. Love my green environment.

Cliff, I live in the South Africa Bushveld. Plenty of various trees (Thorn) and I have heart disease. Go figure ... hahaha

It may have some Validity but I lived in the middle of an old growth forest for 24 years and it didn’t stop my heart problems! My daughter who grew up in same forest purchased a house in an “Established Neighborhood on the edge of Knoxville so maybe it will help her!
