Dear Owen Fonorow
december 2006 i wasnt doing good, went to the doctor, tests showed a ruptured chordae to the mitral valve, they said i should have a operation to repair the valve or replace it, do 2 bypass, a ablation.through the medications and supplements i was ok and didnt have the
operation.
this summer wasnt doing good, went to the doctor first of september, he found a congested heart and from symptoms and ekg atrial fibrillation. i lost 20 pounds, havent gained it back, i am 6 feet 125 pounds now.
i seen a cardiologist last week, he said i do not have atrial fibrillation but a open mitral valve, a pulmonary pressure of 100 and ejection of 45 %.he says i should have operation as before with added test to see if more by pass is needed.
i had stopped the medication and wasnt taking as many supplements. presently take lopessor 50 mg. lisinopril 5 mg. lasix 20 mg. digoxin 0.25mg, all one once a day.
take 300 mg of Q 10 plus other supplements from wellness resources.com at advice of Byron Richards
walking, light work ok now.
i think the by pass and ablation can be taken care of nutritionaly, i want to find a way for the mitral valve to close as much as before.
Appreciate your advice. milton
Your email does not contain the most important information I would need to help - how much vitamin C are you taking and how often?
Are you taking lysine, proline, vitamin K2, etc.? These would be primary recommendations, but our resident cardiologist may have other ideas.
