I've been on large doses of vitamin c, lysine, and proline for about a year. Since 2011 I've known that calcium plaque is increasing in my arteries. The first EBT coronary calcium score in 2011 was 255. In 2104, about a year ago, it was 555. The cardiologist was unequivocal after this result that I have heart disease. In 2015, last month, the EBT score was 665. It has continued to worsen at the same rate despite my efforts. A number of things have complicated the situation, including hepatitis C and atrial fibrillation. I can report progress against the atrial fibrillation and hepatitis C. During the worst of my bout with hepatitis C, the a-fib was recurring every couple of days, going on for 6 - 12 hours. Since I started supplementing with large doses of magnesium glycinate, the a-fib has steadily decreased. I haven't had an episode for several months and only three in 2015. I'm happy that the a-fib has stopped and that my hepatitis C viral load has been undetectable since January. I think the vitamin C helped me beat hepatitis without any of the expensive drugs.

But, there has been no significant progress against the coronary calcium. My current theory is that a root canal tooth has been the problem. See Thomas Levy on the connection between heart disease and periodontal problems: http://www.peakenergy.com/ I had the root canal tooth extracted three weeks ago, right after the EBT test with disappointing results. I feel better and will have some new blood work done pretty soon. My Lp(a) has been 20-23 for a year. If it goes down, I'll take it as progress. I'm also watching the LP-PLA2 plaque number.
