I am surprised that there is no ED category. I've read that this is the canary in the cave re: heart disease and the clearest sign of early death. I'm sure there's something out there other than oysters. Can you please put out a call for info on this.Thanks"

04/01/2013: Denise from Seattle, Wa.: "I've got a question for Bill of the Philppines ir anyone knowledgeable in the topic. I am reading "No More Heart Disease" by Dr. Louis Ignarro. He has a protocol for getting your own body to produce more Nitric Oxide (NO) and one of the supplements is L-Arginine which he recommends taking 4-6 grams per day. He says it might cause herpes in a very small percentage of people. I'm wondering if L-Arginine is OK to take as I have hepatitis c. ?? Dr. Ignarro won the Novel prise for this information."

04/02/2013: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Denise: Too much Arginine can cause a deficiency in Lysine. Lysine is the most prominent antiviral amino. So if you would like to try the Arginine, you can purchase Arginine/Lysine caps or tabs to remedy the imbalance.

Have you no luck curing the Hep C ??? There are about 3 different protocols here in alternative country for this disease, surely you could get good results between these.

Also other protocols for heart disease which have good results in most cases.

Let us know how your doing."

04/02/2013: Denise from Seattle, Wa replies: "HI Timh, I'm a bit confused as Oscar from this site has said that lysine is bad for hep-c. I've taken every protocsl on this site and more and nothing has worked for ny hep-c. I want to try the protocal I previoulsy suggested but wanted to know if L-Arginine is safe. Don't know what to do. Thanks again Timh, blessings"

04/02/2013: Paula from Salt Lake City, Utah replies: "Note to Bill from the Philippines. I am reading the same book as Denise and would also like to know if L-Arginine is not the supplement to take with Hepatitis c? And would it also apply for Vitamin C"

04/03/2013: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Denise: It seems only appropriate to treat the Hep-C first... Until cured, then you could try protocols for Heart and Cardiovascular.

With a longstanding undiagnosed Chronic Active Viral Hep I was excited to have experienced some good results w/ BHT, but then I plateau. I then predosed w/ 2oz Colloidal Silver, wait 30 min, take 500mg BHT, wait 30 min take 4 caps Echinacea, all with a very much more profound effect than BHT alone.

It seems likely that the people who are not getting the positive results from BHT alone have some other immune draining condition."

07/05/2011: Jo from London, England: "Hello, I would like to try doing the Linus Pauling protocol using the Vitamin C powder and L-Lysine powder. I want to try this for both blocked heart arteries and also broken capillaries on my face.

However, how do you measure out the correct amounts of powder? Do you use kitchen scales or measuring spoons or something else? Also, do you take the Vitamin C powder and L-Lysine powder separately or do you mix them together? Thank you."

07/06/2011: Jay from Toronto, Ont, Canada replies: "To Jo from London, England who writes: "Hello, I would like to try doing the Linus Pauling protocol using the Vitamin C powder and L-Lysine powder. I want to try this for both blocked heart arteries and also broken capillaries on my face.

However, how do you measure out the correct amounts of powder? Do you use kitchen scales or measuring spoons or something else? Also, do you take the Vitamin C powder and L-Lysine powder separately or do you mix them together?"

Jo, there are a couple of ways to do this.

1. Buy pre-made capsules. Some manufacturers make products that already contain the latest nutrient combination for cardiovascular health.... see link below to 1 such product:

http://www.aor.ca/html/products.php?id=91

You can then follow their dosage recommendations.

2. Buy vitamin C and l-Lycine in powder form. The label on the product will indicate the amount of nutrient per teaspoon or part teaspoon.

Again here you can follow the label instructions.

There are no issues with mixing them and ideally since they work together, you should take them together in proportional amounts throughout the day.

If you google some of Dr. Pauling's research you will find that he discovered that to maximize the effectiveness of the vitamin C you need to split the total dosage throughout the day.

If you want to refer to some of the latest vitamin C information check the following link:

Hope this helps."

07/06/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "Jo, I had the same problem you have measuring the Vitamin C after reading a Linus Pauling book. Using a kitchen scale didn't work for me because even the very sensitive ones aren't accurate enough. I was already giving up hope as the only small scales you find on Amazon are only sold in the USA. Then we went to Switzerland which is here next door and after asking around and finding nothing we found one in a shop in Basel which wasn't even that expensive. I use it in the kitchen now as well to weigh things like yeast for my bread or salt. You might find something like it in London. It weighs a fraction of a gram and I found it in a normal household applyances shop. Good luck..."

10/09/2012: Mohammed from Toronto, Ontario, Canada: "AT AGE 60 MY HEART WORKS LIKE A BABY

After three angioplastic precedure in a period of long ten years my heart health never improved. At last I was admitted in st. Michael hospital toronto, canada for an immidiate open heart surgery. For six months I was ok but my heart complains started to come back slowly. Chest pain, high blood pressure, heavy feeling after every meal, difficulty walking on stairs etc. I am sure evey heart patient is familier with these symtoms.

In a state of frustration I determined to some research on myself. I tested every possible herb or supplent on my heart health and at last came to a miraculous conclusion. Nowadays I almost claim my heart works like a baby.

In a long period of time after bombardmant of statin and blood pressure pills your heart loses its natural activity. It needs an elignment by proper suppliments to combat three factors at the same time.

Fat and cholesterol reduction, blood pressure control and opening clogged artery. To bring a public awareness of my success story I mentioned a link below please click later.

Its about a miracle molecule Resveratrol, L arginine the ultimate arsenal to reduce blood pressure without any side effect, egg white the only cholesterol free pure protein against its rival carbohydrate to turn fat and triglycerides into body mass, and a cup of green tea all included in a breakfast. I claim is a discovery if you implement it in my ways. Trust me I suffered for long 15 years and I found a positive way to inflict an elignment on my heart one day at a time. And in 10 to 15 days your heart starts working like a baby. please folllow this link, its totaly for public awareness and to reduce your suffering not for any benefit or money.

[YEA]  11/07/2007: Rachel from Brooklyn, New York: "My husband developed non-healing sores (but not dangerous) on his leg near the ankle.They kept on getting bigger and were there for about a half year. He also had a bit of sugar in his blood. After going to doctors and trying many things, "Une boot wraps" is what helped heal the sores. Using these wraps was very painful the first few weeks, but they worked.

At the same time, someone mentioned seeing in a book*, a fasting program, that helps heal such sores. The Health food stores didn't have the book and the fasting program seemed hard. Other fasting programs also seemed to be a possibility. Since the sores healed before the books were bought, none of the fasting programs were attempted.

Recently, after getting a knock on the foot, the problem started to come back. There were two sores that were getting bigger. Instead of a fast, we (a few members of the family) began a mostly raw food cleansing program, eating raw fruit and vegetables throughout the day (after the first week, including figs and nuts and seeds) and eating one warm, cooked meal in the evening. The cooked meal being very simply, grilled fish and vegetable soup or chicken soup with cooked chicken and vegetables, including carrots, celery, onions, garlic, parsley root, sweet potato, asparagus and so on. No flour or corn starch was used in the soup to thicken it and no oils. Sometimes a cooked potato was included. Bread and grain flour products were also avoided. Milk and hard cheese was avoided. Unheated, unrefined olive oil was used occasionally on salads or other vegetables. This was meant to be a cleansing program, easier than a fast but cleansing nevertheless. One day a week, a variety of regular foods, including Challah, was eaten in moderation. At this point, several weeks into the program my husbands sores are almost completely gone, the sugar is completely gone, his heart feels stronger and he is able to walk more easily and faster. Thank you for letting me share this."

02/06/2013: Connie from Slc, Utah, Usa replies: "Hi Lardiver; For reduction of amyloid plaques in the heart, consider EGCG, an extract of green tea.

The B vitamins, specifically, B12, B6, and Folate, may also help to stop amyloid plaque build up in general. Extra B12, in a sublingual form, may be more effective than the amounts in a B complex."

12/08/2012: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Tania: It may not be as potent as the I.V. nutrition but oral drops of Cellfood would work wonders also. E.C. may not post this as it is a brand so you might wish to search something like cellnutrition or cellfuel. In addition to consuming Liver for anabolic nutrition, try cooked Beef/Bovine Heart if your local grocer has it or maybe the local butcher; this will greatly help rebuild the heart muscle. It would make good in a broth or veggie stew.

If the opportunity arises you will also want to consider the nutrients Carnitine and Ubiquinol as they are completely safe and very effective in restoring energy function to the heart. Many Dr's are also recommending D-Ribose, a simple energy promoting sugar for heart health. Search Dr Titlebaum for his recommends (i think he's got an ihealthtube video)."

09/21/2012: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Tim: I will list several herbs commonly used for circulatory health but be advised in advance to use these herbs beginning in small amounts as your condition is somewhat advanced. The list will include herbs for both vascular and arterial health. Hawthorn Berry, Ginko Biloba, Horse Chestnut, White Oak Bark, Butchers Broom, Cayenne. Magnesium is recommended as well as nutrients like CoQ10 or Ubiquinol, and Carnitine especially for the heart health.

At your local or online health food store you should be able to find an herbal formula that contains most if not all from the list. Remember to begin w/ the smallest dose and slowly work up to larger and monitor results as your medication levels will proly need adjusting. As for the other nutrients I would purchase them individually and take as recommended on labels. A very good whole food multivitamin/mineral supplement will help your metabolism and promote weight loss. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) can help w/ the pain as well as supporting liver health and blood sugar metabolism.

Hope this helps and report your progress."

09/21/2012: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Tim... If you weren't taking warfarin with such strong painkillers I would have no hesitation in recommending the following to both safely increase blood circulation:

Alkalize the Body

Use Ted from Bangkok's ACV and Lemon/Lime or ACV plus bicarbonate remedies to alkalize the cells. Take these three times a day outside mealtimes. Also use Ted's BS and water remedy to alkalize the blood. This should be taken 3 times a day 1/2 hr to 1c hour after meals. If you have sodium/potassium issues then take Teds Caebicarb remedy instead. These remedies are all shown here. These remedies will help to move your body into a healthier alkaline state. This remedy is essential to neutralize the acidifying effects of both the warfarin and the painkillers you are taking. See this link:

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Take 300 mgs twice a day at mealtimes. Dosages of up to 1200 mgs per day are also quite safe. ALA is wonderful at repairing peripheral vascular and nerve problems and will help to reduce the peripheral pain as many here on EC with peripheral problems have attested.

Selenium

Used to help generate the glutathione that is destroyed by the actinominophen in the vincodin. Selenium is also a major anti-oxidant in the body and a mercury detoxifier.

Vitamin C

Take 1000 mg doses of Vitamin C four times a day. Use the ascorbate form if you can get it. This helps to repair the damaged peripheral arteries.

Serrapeptase Enzyme

Take double the dose recommended and take this outside mealtimes because these protease enzymes will help to clear fibrin deposits in the blood, thereby improving blood flow. You can also use pancreatin with bromelain and papain if you are unable to find the serrapeptase.

Niacin plus Vitamin B50

Niacin(not niacinamide) will help to naturally and safely "unclump" thick blood. The flushing effect from niacin is proof that all your blood vessels at the peripheries have opened up for better and more efficient delivery of nutrients to the peripherals. The dosage is 500 mgs three times a day taken at mealtimes. Abram Hoffer, an orthomolecular researcher, has said that dosages of up to 3 gms a day of niacin can be taken safely. However, because you are also using warfarin as a blood thinner, there is a caveat. See my final paragraph below. Recent research has aso found that larger dose niacin/niacinamide will increase the strength of your immune system by a factor of 1000.

Taking warfarin appears to be doing little to help thin your blood, since your blood pressure appears to have increased since you started using it. I know that the recommended dosage necessary for warfarin's blood thinning effects borders closely and dangerously on causing bleeding in the body. Use of vincodin is also dangerous. This drug is addictive, as I'm sure you are aware. Vincodin also contains substantial amounts of acetominophen or tylenol, which, when taken in extreme dosages, harms the liver over long term use by destroying glutathione.

To keep it simple, all the drugs that you are taking are detrimental in that they all tend to greatly acidify your body. The best evidence for this is the lactic acidosis shock that you mentioned. Both warfarin and the painkillers acidify the body so, in this respect, you must alkalize your body to neutralize the acid in the body caused from taking these drugs.

Since I am also quite wary of warfarin and the painkillers that you are taking, I also think it perhaps best and pertinent for your own safety if you first consult your doctor as to whether there are any dangerous drug contra-indications with the remedies and dosages that I've recommended."

If you wish to try natural remedies FIRST then begin supplementing these three nutrients to help the heart: CoQ10 300mg 2x daily, L-Carnitine 500mg 2x daily, Magnesium Citrate 250mg 2x daily. The herb Hawthorn Berry will also help."
