Vitamin C Forum

Hi!

I live in Orange County, CA. I have been talking to law firms all over the nation. Unfortunately, I do not qualify to participate in any of the class action lawsuits (there are many ongoing). That is because I did not have a heart attack and/or died. It does not matter if I was "saved by the bell."

My "beef" is that Bristol, Myers, Squibb does not warn doctors/patients about the severe side effect of heart
attacks and death (for a mere profit of 6 billion a year). It has been known for a long time that when you
stop taking Plavix (like me, according to my cardiologist), heart attack and death could very well happen within 90 days (in my case 60 days).

Overnight (literally speaking), Plavix caused almost a 100% rebound in my coronary arteries (2 were 100%
blocked and the other 2 95% blocked). The surgeon said that it was a miracle that I didn't die of a fatal
heart attack. If so, my husband could have participated in one of those class action lawsuits!

I am so frustrated talking to lawyers and doctors who don't know anything, or does not add it up. Should we
not question why all these people die after stopping taking Plavix? I am not a fan of Big Pharma and hardly
took any medication before. But if I did, I always read the side effects. In this case, there were none.

I don't want to load you with info. but I am forwarding a recent response from a lawyer. His reply
is very typical. I also attached two small articles for him to look at.

Also, I have seen a photo of you (so I know who I am writing to). I will send you a photo of me (so you
know who you are writing to). These photo weres taken by my daughter for my Facebook one week before my
drama and near death experience. Do I look like your typical heart attack victim?

Thanks,

Kerstin

Thanks for all your help! No, I didn't have a heart attack but was very close to have one. Once in ICU,
waiting to be scheduled for surgery, I was not allowed to move. They told that any excersion could cause a
fatal heart attack.

Lately I have been looking for the right cardiologist, but so far, I have not find him/her. In the last 2
weeks I have seen 4. This is what happens: they get all shocked about the Plavix issue. I always bring
copies for them to read. They get all engrossed in the material I bring, so I ask them to read it on their
own time. It is just amazing how uninformed these physicians are. Thanks again,

Hi Owen!

I just came back from Europe. Met some doctors. Asked them if they knew Plavix. Yes, they did, but they said they hardly use Plavix, as it is known as "rat-poisoning." I met with my surgeon yesterday, and he told me that Coumadin was actually a rat-poisoning,
until they discovered it could be used as a blood thinner for humans! Is that scary or not?

I still have not been able to find an attorney for my case. Did you get any replies?

Kerstin

Also, the good news is, I got my myself an attorney for my Plavix case. The best part is, before he became an attorney, he was a Dr. in Radiology for 20 years so he knows everything about my situation. He will be filing the lawsuit in about 2 weeks.

Thanks,

Kerstin

Great news! Keep us informed.

It is so unfortunate that we have to rely on so many toxic drugs to heal us

Do you know of any drugs that "heal"?

Hi Owen,


Have not emailed you for a while. Just wanted to let you know how it ended (or started) with my Plavix issue.

Have an attorney who wrote a letter of demand to BMS. Of course, they denied everything. So, I went to see my surgeon, Dr. Mazer, and asked him if he knew what was blocking in my coronaries. He said that he don't slice the artieries open to see inside, but simply proceed with bypasses if they are blocked. Based on my theory, he suggested that I do a CTA Cardiac scan to see if my native arteries were open. If so, he said, I was misdiagnosed from the beginning. He doubted that my native arteries were open. In fact, he said that they were closed.

Based on the CTA scan, my natives artieries are OPEN and my bypasses CLOSED! I have very good blood flow. Only two cardiologists knows about it and they have never ever seen this and can't explained it.

Again, here goes my theory: Plavix caused a temporary blockage (rebound effect) which could have been flushed out without surgery.

By the way, should not the Vit. C help to remove calcium? My calcium rate is still the same after 2 years. Hope to hear from you.
