Hi, I have a friend who has just been diagnosed with a heart condition
similar to one that recently killed her brother. He died of a ruptured
aorta following an aneurysm and multiple strokes. It is a hereditary
condition and she was tested. She says she has been told her arteries are
30% blocked resulting in high blood pressure for which she has been taking
medication but having a tough time getting it down. She is the
owner/operator of a rescue ranch for abused animals, mainly horses. It is
very stressful and she does it all by herself. She is a wonderful, generous
person and her first concern on hearing this diagnosis is for her animals
and what will happen to them if something happens to her. I hope to use
that motivation to get her to follow the Pauling Therapy.
She is open to alternative therapy - for example is a big believer in
Lysine and uses it as a remedy for many of her animals health issues. My
problem is that she is not well educated, is extremely ADD, has learning
difficulties and finds it hard to take in information that is full of
technical terms, big words, etc. Her attention span for reading is not
good. I am trying to find a version of the Pauling Therapy that I could
give her that would be easier to understand. I found the Pauling Therapy -
Short Version http://www.internetwks.com/pauling/short.html but that would
be beyond her ability to understand. I have tried to rewrite it much more
simply but have not had much luck.
Incidentally, her doctor has prescribed a "cholesterol drug" which I am
afraid is Lipitor.
If anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
