Pilot hoping to reverse long-standing aortic aneurysm

Post Number:#1  Post by ofonorow » Sun Nov 28, 2021 11:23 am

Hi Owen,

Hoping that vitamin C is one of the keys to reversing my aortic aneurysm. It just got worse this year.

I’m a pilot and dad to two boys. I want to be around for a good long while and also keep flying if I can. I saw a reference on this forum by someone who decreased the size of his aorta to normal using Pauling Therapy.

Went out yesterday to get vitamin C. Hoping to get lysine and proline through vegan foods, but will supplement if necessary.

The specialists don’t think I can reverse the aneurysm. My own aviation doc, on the other hand, believes in me. That’s a rarity these days.

Take care and hope you’re well!

Sorry to hear about your condition. No doubt the root cause is feeble vitamin C levels based on the bad advice of governmental authorities.

Increasing vitamin C, to at least 10,000 mg daily, will help you. I have seen various studies over the years showing the connection between low vitamin C levels and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), Vitamin C helps to keep arteries strong.


1. Vitamins and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
https://europepmc.org/article/med/26603433

This "meta" analysis only tied low levels of vitamins C (and possibly low vitamin D) to AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysms)

Pooled analyses of the 2 case-control studies demonstrated significantly lower levels of circulating vitamins C (SMD, -0.71; 95% CI, -1.23 to -0.19; P=0.007) and E (SMD, -1.76; 95% CI, -2.93 to 0.60; P=0.003) in patients with AAA than subjects without AAA.



2. Antioxidant Vitamin C attenuates experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm development in an elastase-induced rat model

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022480413021379
Note, this is good news, but a little surprising because rats make their own vitamin C!

Vitamin C attenuated the development of AAA, decreasing maximal aortic diameter by 25.8% (P < 0.05) and preserving elastin lamellae (P < 0.05). Vitamin C also decreased 8-hydroxyguanine (a marker of oxidative damage to DNA) and 8-isoprostane content (a marker of oxidative stress) in aortic tissues (P < 0.05, respectively).


3. Vitamin D deficiency promotes large rupture-prone abdominal aortic aneurysms and cholecalciferol supplementation limits progression of aneurysms in a mouse model
https://portlandpress.com/clinsci/article/134/18/2521/226425/Vitamin-D-deficiency-promotes-large-rupture-prone

Note, again, mice make their own vitamin C, and the best form of vitamin D is from sunlight!



You can find more at scholar.google.com with the search term " vitamin C aortic aneurysm"

nordiclight, what is needed in your case are stronger arteries. That means your body needs to be making more collagen. The miracle is that not only are the amino acids lysine and proline so-called "lp(a) binding inhibitors", they (and glycine) are what make up the strands of collagen. (Vitamin C is the key factor in the production of collagen). Thus these amnios also help make arteries strong.

I think your intuition is good to first focus on increasing vitamin C, as you already must be getting at least 1 gram of lysine in your food to be alive. The Lp(a) may be acting per the Pauling/Rath theory as a plaster cast holding the aneurysm in place. Just a guess, but focusing on vitamin C first is sensible.

However, after you reach 10 grams of vitamin C daily (and don't stop), I wouldn't leave lysine and proline to chance (i.e. to a "good" diet) until your condition clears up.

If you have trouble with 10 grams of vitamin C, spread throughout the day, try that much (or some) as Ester-C. People report that they can tolerate more of it.

We've tried to collect links to the mountains of information, e.g. at the bottom of heartcure.info are snippets from Pauling's Unified Theory lecture.

Hey Pilot,

I have an aneurysm on my ascending aorta. As frightening as it may sound, and conventional medicine do produce scans and info scaring you into surgery, you can halt the progression of the aneurysm and reverse it. But you must put the right stuff into your body, and in the right amounts.
I would try to get intravenous vitamin C in 25000 mg 2-3 times per week for a few months, 6000mg lysine, 2000 mg proline, zinc, horsetail grass or bamboo shoot (for silica), bioflavornoid and copper (give at least 2 hrs break from the vit C and zinc before taking copper).
Oral vit C in high doses can come in after you can have some stabilisation on the dilation.
I had 3 radioactive scans in the last year and the aneurysm has almost no progression, and the diameters of my aortic arch and descending or abdominal aorta has REDUCED in some minimeters.
Also, reduce stress because raising cortisol (especially at nite) reduce and damage collagen synthesis. Take lots of white sugar, fruits, milk with honey - especially at nite.

Try Googling: 'aneurysm and aspirin' as well. There has been a research over a long period showing that aspirin can halt, even regress aneurysm in the brain.
