Vitamin C and Mineral Powder and other things
Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2014 2:45 pm
Hi. Had a pacemaker put in 2008. Then in March of 2013, was very short of breath and had a medicated stent put in LAD branch artery that was 90% blocked. Doc said I had 10% blockage in another artery, and 30% in another. He wasn't worried about those two. Then a couple weeks ago (Oct. 22), I was at the gym and had a heart attack. So friggin humiliating to have a heart attack at the gym. Sigh. I did take the aspirin/Plavix for a year after the stent, but stopped after that (against doc's wishes). Doc also wanted me on a statin, and I refused to take that. I also have had Hep C for about 40 years. It's inactive, and a liver biopsy showed it was at the most minimal stage.
So when I had my heart attack a couple weeks ago, I was rushed to the nearest hospital, and a new (to me) doc did the cath and the stent was 100% blocked. He also said I had a 50% block in another artery (which I assume was the one that was 30% blocked). I was in the hospital for 4 days because the enzyme "tropopin" stayed elevated. So while in the hospital, I called my regular doc, and he had moved to NYC (from Chicago). Guess the other hospital wouldn't let him tell his patients. So now, this new doc is my doc, and I like him. And, stupidly, I've been a smoker for over 50 years (I'm 67). Yes. I quit cold turkey on October 22. But I digress.
He put me back on Plavix and aspirin, and he wanted me on Lopressor and another beta blocker. I'm taking the Plavix and aspirin (for now), but refused the other stuff. He didn't give me much blah blah over that, probably cause he knows those are bad for the liver. So, I found the Linus Pauling Therapy stuff on the web. Just got Owen's book . . . Practicing Medicine Without the Official Consent of the State Apparatus that Protects Profit over Health . . . and have ordered Linus' book. Have read a lot of this forum, and the website and the other website with all the testimonials. Maybe ordered too quickly, because I ordered the Vitamin C Powder and two jars of Cardio C. If I'd waited, I'd probably get the A-9 (isn't that the one with all the stuff in it?). But this will do for a start I hope. I'll have read both books by my next order, but I hope this will do for now.
Since I'm having dental issues that won't be fixed for several months (can't have dental work after a heart attack), I worry about getting enough nutrients. I have a VitaMix and drink my salads. I take 15-20 Chlorella/Spirulina caps a day. I also use the fabulous Ultimate Meal which has the purest, well-formulated ingredients: http://theultimatelife.net/CatalogMealBenefits.htm
I order some E before I saw here that Unique E is the best, but I'll use up this bottle first.
Also read the paper on Bowel Tolerance, and a few other pdfs and sites suggested in comments. Oh, and a week and a half after my heart attack, I woke up with a huge abscess on a gum tooth, infection went all the way to the bone and was incredibly painful. Am now on antibiotics for that, and I feel the heart and teeth are connected. So. Now to my questions.
1. I used a very fine trace mineral powder which I mix with water and sip all day. Can I mix the Cardio C drink in with my mineral powder?
2. Can I make the Cardio C drink and sip it all day? Or is it better to make it fresh for each dose?
3. Since I'm just starting, how much Cardio C should I begin with on a daily basis?
4. I read where the dosage should be raised 500mg at a time, but how fast does one increase dosage? (I'm assuming I'll use the Vit C Powder when I need higher dosages.)
5. And do I need to increase the lysine/proline when I increase the Vit C?
6. Where is the best place to buy K2 and how much do I take?
I'm gonna try all this, because I really don't want the Pharmafia meds. I believe they are killers. BTW, my dear Mom was into organic foods and such in the 1950s, had her own organic garden, too me to meet Adele Davis when I was in the 3rd grade, Dr. Royal Lee, and others. She read voraciously. Walked into my parents' bedroom one night, and Mom was reading Eat Right Live Longer and Dad was reading The Bride Screamed Murder (Mickey Spillane). That always makes me chortle when I think of it. Anyway, she told me about Linus Pauling's work way back in the 1960s. So when I found these sites on the innertubz, my mind was really open to it. And grateful to Mom for planting these seeds in my brain.
Thanks,
Millie
