Still has Angina w/exercise - 18 months on Pauling Therapy

[ofonorow]

Mr Fonorow,

I am 67 have had a blockage for 2yrs weigh 180. 6ft tall 4bypasses 1996, good general health otherwise.. I have been taking. 3scoops per day (Cardio-C). For 18 months. Still have angina with brisk walking. Subsides quickly when walking slows or stops momentary. In your judgement will the cardio c clear the blockage given more time. One note, my circulation is excellent, awake to a erection most mornings. I generally feel good.

Thanks , your input. Would appreciated.

A few questions:

1) What do you doctors say? Diagnosis
2) What medications are you on?
3) If math correct, 3 scoops is 7500 mg vitamin C (and lysine). Usually more than enough lysine/proline, but you may need 10,000 or more vitamin C. So I would recommended adding vitamin C powder to your drink, or take it separately. If gas/diarrhea issues, considering making the additional vitamin C liposomal.
4) If you can describe the location and type of Angina pain, that may help also.

A few additional thoughts based on what you have told us. In addition to adding more vitamin C, you should consider taking at least 1 Super-K vitamin K complex from Life Extension (LEF.ORG) daily. If there is a problem with calcification, vitamin K will help, probably especially K2 (and strangely, medicine/cardiology routinely recommends that heart patients avoid vitamin K.)

Thanks for your reply,
In 2010 or 2011 after some fairly significant chest pain while walking I had a stress test at Which time the dr. Told Me I had a partial blockage in the artery on the back of my heart. The Dr. Wanted to send me to the cath lab and I felt this would be the last resort.
I take no medication. I do take the following Supplements in addition to the Pauling therapy(I have added the additional vit c you suggested). Thanks
5000units vitd3
15 mg vit k2
100. Mg ubiqunol
400 units unique E
15 mg lutein
1 zywobin forte after meals
200 mg magnesium 2 x day
100 mg vit b-6
99mg potassium
Heart choice plant sterols
Lindberg varsity pack 2 multi vit/mineral
Opti-vue eye

9/14 physical blood work all normal except
Cholesterol 220 high
HDL 41 normal
LDL 157 high
Non HDL cholesterol 179 high
Triglycerides 111 normal

To describe the pain: a slow building pressure behind the heart, under shoulder blade and sometimes coming up my neck. I know it's my heart because I have had several attacks and to answer John's question nitro pellets eases the pain completely. I tried the nitro at first onset to determine if it was my heart.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the suggestions. The last time ( 11/11 I had crp and homocysteine run both were normal crp was less than .05 and homocysteine was 10.5. I will discuss the nitro with my cardiologist. The right dosage might work. My. Blood pressure run low. Typically between 90/65 to 110/70 heart rate varies from low 60's to 78 or so resting.
Too much nitro does me in.

Thanks

Claude

99mg of potassium is nothing. Ive questioned literally hundreds or friends/family and strangers and out of that lot I have only found 1 person to even come close to consuming the 4700mg FDA potassium amount. Most are well under the 2000mg level.

One of the best things I have done for performance, energy and joint pain is to log my food intake, calculate average potassium intake and supplement to get me over the 4700mg mark.
