Vitamin C Forum

My husband's heart ultrasound came back with mild Pulminary Hypertension. His halter test showed Frequent PVCs, rare PACs, as well as rare bursts of PSVT. We still haven't talked with the doctor. Appointment isn't until next week Friday.

Can the Can vitamin C/Lysine/proline protocol help him or possibly reverse the Pulminary Hypertension?

I'm wondering if it's caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies in his case. He's got a hernia that caused reflux and consequently Barrett's Esophagus. He had ablation which removed the pre-cancer Barrett's cells. Rather than opt for surgery to repair the hernia he opted to take pantropazole which is an proton pump inhibitor.

He often tests low or low/normal on iron and other things like calcium, etc. He takes supplements including an herbal liquid iron, but we're now going to add liposomal iron, vitamin C taken with the iron, magnesium oil on the skin, and a more absorbable form of magnesium called ReMag https://rnareset.com/, etc.

We're meeting with his gut doctor in two weeks to look into what it would take to get him off the pantropozole, or at least onto something less powerful.

Or do you think he should consider hernia surgery? Are there alternatives?

And in the meantime do you feel the vitamin C protocol could help?

Thanks!

here is my unprofessional view. Thickened, calcified, cholesterol clogged arteries will increase BP and PT should address the cholesterol adhesion part of the equation and reppaire arterial damage leading to healthier arteries.

Vitamin K should help with calcification.

When you say hernia I assume your referring to hiatial? The problem with proton pump inhibitor is 2 fold. It alters gut environment making it more hospitable to certain pathogens. It also reduces your bodies ability to break down food and get essential nutrients. Im not totally up to speed on the hiatal hernia repair but considering the long term damage that can be caused by PPI's id seriously consider it.

I would also suggest a high end GI tract diagnostic like that offered from Genova labs to rule out any gut bugs.

Lastly consider the fact that most people, especially older folks, have been suffering for many nutrient deficiencies for decades which has led to poor health in older age.

I was diagnosed with Afib a couple years ago, docs couldnt find anything wrong or out of ordinary. Its what initially led me to PT and beyond. Docs initially put me on meds and daid to come back in 6 months for more tests. After 20+ hours of research on my own for many months I stopped the meds and never went back. Started complete suppliment plan and afib is more or less non existant now.....even though the doc told me that wasnt possible.

VC/lysine/proline are just the tip of the iceburg, I would put together a complete supplement regiment.

Thanks so much exitium. That all makes sense to me. This may sound silly but what is PT?

PT is Pauling Therapy.

Hi John,

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I'm not sure if I'm reading your post right, but is there more about the Pauling Therapy you were going to share after we read the link info? If so, then please post away.

If not, then I think you're saying that the Pauling Therapy could really help correct his problem. Am I understanding you correctly?

Thanks Owen,

We can do that. I have a couple questions on the plan:

He has difficulty with anything too acidic. I realize most people should avoid calcium, but he tests low on calcium because of the pantropazole, so I thought buffered C might be okay for him. I'd like to combine that with some some livon labs C packets to cut down on the acid. Does that seem okay? Or would you have another suggestion?

Also does the lysine and proline have to be taken on an empty stomach? I see your formula has it together with the vitamin C, so I imagine it's okay for that all to be taken together. He has to take iron on an empty stomach, so if he takes all of that together, is that okay?

If i may? eDOC recommended DMSO for pulmonary hypertension.
Using a nebuliser and inhaling the DMSO.

Im a big fan of buffering AA with potassium bicarbonate, something no one gets enough of anyway.

Thanks Jimmy - Do you have a link for that? I'm having trouble finding it.

Just in case it will help anyone to know - it turns out he has apnea. We would have never known but since I have apnea and had a sleep study, and my husband is always tired, she suggested a sleep study for him. He's not overweight and doesn't snore, yet he has moderate apnea. This could be the cause of pulminary hypertension.
