Dee PS the low cholesterol levels are not a good indication for an older person; they should be actually higher in an older person, and lower in a young person. Theoretically, this is because there is less wear on a young person so the body does not need to produce so much cholesterol for repair purposes. The whole cholesterol thing has been completely misrepresented to the public as cholesterol is a 'good guy' and not the villain it is made out to be. -- heart attack protocol My husband had suffered a heart attack. He was experiencing angina and through test they found scar tissue of a previous heart attack. However, his cholesterol levels were fabulous and he passed his EKG and Stress Test.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Buddy, Thanks! Lots of good advice! We've started adding large salads to two meals per day. Plus juicing vegetables 2 -3 times per day. He's eating no processed foods. Bread is Ezekiel Bread and have cut down on meat for a more Mediterranean diet. Olive Oil is used but try not to eat heated. I hope that we are not using too much olive oil as it is also in the dressings (Braggs). Lots of garlic and lemon on everything too. We're not sure the cause because we are not sure exactly when he had his heart attack. The Dr. did not think he would've built up that scar tissue if he recently had it. He started experiencing angina and arm numbness a couple of weeks ago. But they only found the previous scar tissue by using dye and the heart cameras. He lasted 8 minutes on the treadmill which the Dr. said is unusual for people who've had heart attacks. However, since we don't know the cause we will want to address everything - diet, stress, artery heath, cardio exercise, etc... We've started relaxation exercises and are going to add walking. I like your idea on massage - that should be good for relaxation and circulation, right? Phytonutrients & B- Vitamins - what is a good source? As an experiment he noticed that drinking purified water with apple cider vinegar stopped angina symptoms. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence but thought that was interesting. I don't know if ACV has any minerals. In a message dated 1/13/2008 12:26:42 P.M.

Consulting with the cardiologist, he needs to start a cardio exercise program ASAP. In addition to that, cut out all of the processed vegetable oils, refined carbs, and eat all natural. By that I mean if it's not something someone could find in the world pre 1800s, don't eat it. Produce, natural fats, and even meats are ok. Really hammer down the produce though. The anti-oxidants, phytonutients, and natual B-vitamins, magnesium, and calcium will get him back on track. On top of that if you want to use supplementation, then I guess it can't hurt. Oh, and what do they think led to the heart attack? Was is stress? If so, then that has to be toned down too if you want a good long term outcome. Maybe a full body massage once per month would do him good, or some other type of stress relief activity he can do on a regular basis (like a 30 minute walk everyday to relax and get cardio).

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Alright. Boy wouldn't that be something.... if his symptoms of angina was acid reflux and they just happened to have caught his previous heart attack? He had been diagnosed with IBS so it certainly could've been a possibility. I'm glad we know though so that we can make some changes. In a message dated 1/13/2008 4:09:12 P.M.

Are you sure the angina is not really just acid reflux? I dont know why ACV would influence a heart issue. And to the other poster, cod liver oil is good for a lot of reasons, just dont over do it. In terms of the heart, the omega 3's would be helpful. I would go with omega 3 salmon oil thought versus cod liver oil. Buddy **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 For help with angina and cardiac issues, I would recommend The New 8 Week Cholesterol Cure by Kowalski. The latest edition is 2006. He will tell you all about his heart attack and his recovery and the protocols he used. I made the oat bran muffins in the early 80s and they made a big difference for my husband, who died of something else, not the heart disease rampant in his family. Another thing to look into is arginine. Dr. Joe Prendergast, an endo in CA highly recommends this to avert heart disease. I believe the recommended dose is 5 grams a day, but you will have to check his website to make sure. You have already discussed the lifestyle changes you are making and I am glad to see that you are being so proactive for your husband. All this will help your health too.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Have him try taking a tums next time he has an attack of 'angina'. Not that I recommend taking Tums for heartburn or acid reflux, but maybe it will help you figure out if it is reflux. Let us know how it turns out.
