Former NFL Player with AFIB & HBP

[ofonorow]

Hi Owen,

I hope all is well.

I have a friend diagnosed with atrial fibrillation & high blood pressure.He is 49 years old, former NFL player and is taking the following medications:


- furosemide - 60 mg a day
- Diltiazem ER 180 mg - 3 times a day
- Potassium (Potass CH*K) 30 MEQ Daily - for cramps
- Warfarin - 5 mg - 1 time a day
- Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc - combo tab (Calcium 1000, Mag 400mg, zinc
15mg) - 1 time a day.

He's starting on the 2000 mg of Vitamin C & Lysine today. Is there anything else he can take and which Pauling Therapy Formula he should take?

Many thanks,

Olivia

Good start (on preventive dosage of vitamin C and lysine.) If former NFL - probably needs more vitamin C (5000-6000 mg of each therapeutic). Maybe johnwen will comment on drugs (which I don't like, esp. warfarin.) Given warfarin, vitamin K is important to keep his arteries from hardening - especially with that much calcium. Could start by adding 1 Super-K pill from Life Extension (LEF.ORG).

That super-K pill from LEF.org has vitamin K1 in it. I understand that vitamin K1
will block the warfarin and keep it from working, and this the blood will not be
thinned. Not by the mechanism of warfarin anyway.
