Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 My father in law had a sudden blinding stroke in one eye on Thanksgiving last year. He has had eye operations and has had bad pain in his eye and headaches. A few years back he also had to have a stint put in one of the vessels of his heart. He has high blood pressure and high cholesterol too. I know he is on many traditional medications but I don't know exactly which ones. I know very little about the connection between stroke and heart disease, but assume this all has something to do with bad blood. I don't really feel good telling my father in law not to eat his 0g trans fat per serving margarine (still contains up to 5 grams trans fat per serving. I know because I called the company of I can't believe its not butter and asked) or his egg beaters or his low-fat milk because I think he would not listen to me and would rather listen to his statin prescribing doctor. Does anyone know what foods could help a person with this condition? Thank you, Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Stacie From: seekingthetruthaboutimplants@...Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:19:49 +0000Subject: Re: Cathie I actually saw this old fuddy duddy of a doctor once this summer because my regular doctor was out of town, and I was having so much trouble. Well, this was before I knew it was implants causing all my problems, and I asked him about the possibility of this one disease that I read about on the internet, and he actually looked at me like I was nuts, he had never heard of it!! It's like "come on, who is the doctor here?!" I actually had to explain to him what it was, what caused it and how it was treated! He really didn't know what to say to me. What a waste of time and a $20 co-pay that was!These doctors are really going to have to get in the game when it comes to breast implant illnesses because their doors are going to soon be flooded with women who need help. Like I keep saying, it is going to become an epidemic! The plastic surgeons are going to have to start specializing in explants!~Krista> > >> > > Maybe we should pool our money and put someone thru med school > and > > then all > > > move into a hotel next to his/her office...> > > > > > Cathie> > > In a message dated 10/29/07 1:26:50 PM, nnnttwilliams@ writes:> > > > > > > > > > the funniest part that all my strange symptoms seem totally > > logical to> > > > me!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Stacie,Age isn't much of a factor in heart attack and stroke . . . You can have them at any age. Generally you have risk factors that are predictive . . . high blood pressure is a major one.I've been active in implant support for many years . . . A few women have had strokes and heart attacks - but, thankfully, very few women have reported either.If you suspect you are having a stroke, don't mess around . . . Get yourself to the emergency room. If they decide you have had a stroke, they can give you a medication that will dissolve a clot before it does major damage.Many women have experienced feelings of numbness and difficulty finding words . . . I suspect that's what you're concerned about. That seems to go with implants. It should go away, for the most part, after explanting and detoxing.Hugs,Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
