95% blockage

Hey are you ok? Good luck on your recovery!

Doing great, surgery was a snap and just a day of observation. Gotta carry nitro around with me from now on. Gotta watch the sodium and colesteral too.

I have a friend ,a biologist, who told me that a small piece of dark chocolate daily reduces the chance of a blockage, I really don't understand why, but it's something to consider.

Wow, hadn't heared that one, i could live with that kinda perscription. They put me on a blood thinner too, plavix and crestor and of course my favorite, baby asparin. Thanks for the suggestion.

Anytime.

Glad you are ok man!

Glad you are ok - I have atrial fibrillation , and take lots of drugs for it , blood thinner for one .

Thank you. It's a rough way to get a week off, LOL.

Now can I lecture you on the evils of? You know about sodium but what about canned veggies, packaged food. If it isn't fresh don't eat it Drnaline, don't touch anything in a box, can, switch to sea salt (no sodium) and no spices that say "garlic salt" only "garlic spice". Good luck and take care of the temple called your carcus okay. End lecture.

Thanks Red, i've been reading non stop since i've been home. I read every can, box and package. Got quite a few questions for the Doc visit tomorrow. My nutritionist said "seasalt" is a no no as well.

Sea Salt really? When Dad had a massive heart attack the doctor gave him a "Do not eat list of foods" it was so out dated it was prehistoric. Most specialist preached eggs are bad, now it turns out they are loaded with Omega3 fatty acid which cleans the pipes and is really good for people with heart health issue. Don't be afraid to question your nutritionist, some haven't updated their knowledge in years.

Good luck.

I think the problem is most docs use the egg as a reference to how much cholesterol you need in a day. I think we demonize it from there. That is what happened to me just this very week. I went from loving eggs to thinking they are bad for me. Which if abused they are bad for you but that goes with any thing not just eggs.

Health nut here...l have books and books...

the salt that is great for you is Cletic Sea Salt. You see it is the stuff that you can only find in the health food store and is about 5 or 6 bucks for a small bag.

It is naturally harvested and is not the nice white table salt, or the 'sea salt' we see in the grocery stores. It is the top salt that is left after nature evaporation and LOADED with vitamins and minerals.

The idea is to increase your water. The rule of thumb is you take your weight divide it in half and that is as many ounces as you need a day.

The change in drinking this much needs to be gradual and your total intake of salt is extremely small, compared to what you are used to using. The problem is that as we get older we loose our thirst sensitivity and usually when we think we are hungry we are actually thirsty.

The water can be herbal teas, white tea or green tea. And for every coffee you need additional water. You can find out more on the internet about drinking water for health and 'celtic sea salt'.

You might want to get yourself high qualtiy concentrated fish oil tablets to take on a daily basis, and keep positive, get funny movies and laugh, the positive attitude will help you heal.

After all, the neighbourhood will be dull without your daily comments...

glad you are on the mend!!!!

Thanks alot Tulip. I'll see what i can find locally on the Cletic salt.
yup 80 oz's is alot of water.
Alot of people have mentioned fishoils.
Some people would debate with you on my daily comments but heah, we both live in free countrys. Thanks for the consern and info.

Speedy recovery

Thanks Mousy.

I have had a lot of health problems in the past and l always go with reading the most up to date research, and thankfully the web is amazing for this. I listened to this cool information site, it is a creative approach to healing and a little metaphysical, it is called the healing codes, and they assure you that you can get better, it is all about the desire, and focus, and the faith that your body will heal and can heal.

Fish oil makes you smarter!

Smarter i could use.

Looks like your friend the biologist was right.
