QUESTIONS

09/23/2011: Stella from Argaka, Cyprus: "Hi Ted.

Do you have an any remedies for Aortic Aneurisms, for instances when operations are not an option?"

Replies
10/02/2011: Dan from Santa Fe, Nm, Usa replies: "Stella,

Aortic aneurisms are usually from problems creating collagen fibers. Nutrients that are required to create collagen fibers include:

Vitamin C - Unless you are suplementing vitamin C you will almost certainly benefit by getting more. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is required for the cross-linking of collagen fibers, which makes them much stronger. Take at least 500 mg per day. I take up to 6 grams per day (see the Pauling therapy section).

Copper - Not everybody is deficient in copper. Vegetarians may have too much copper. People who eat a lot of chocolate may also be too high in copper. If you are not in these categories, 1 or 2 mg per day of copper might help.

Copper and zinc oppose each other. Zinc is also beneficial in healing tissues. For some people, it is safer to take their copper in combination with zinc. A possible dosage might be 30 mg zing/2 mg copper."

12/20/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Sim... The best cure that seems to work well is Linus Paulings Heart Therapy. This is a simple protocol that involves taking 6-8 GRAMS of Vitamin C(as Ascorbate) and 6-8 GRAMS of Lysine(Amino Acid) in split doses on a daily basis. You should get significant benefits within a month using this protocol.

The way this therapy works is in two ways. First the Vitamin C works to dissolve the constrictions in the arteries near the heart and, second, the Lysine in the blood combines with the Lp(a) to prevent it being used to build up the constriction in the affected artery. That's the simple explanation.

See this link for the exact therapy method and hear testimonials in his own words from Linus Pauling on the success of his protocol in the audio links at this site:

12/21/2010: Carly from Seattle , Wa - Usa replies: "I agree with what Bill says, and am amazed at the power or something as "simple" as Vitamin C! Linus Pauling was a brilliant man. One thing I would add to Bills advice is to also take D-Ribose at least 2 times the normal dosage per day. It is a natural sugar that helps muscle mitochondria recover. There is much writtin on it on the web re heart issues and fibromyalgia. The heart is a muscle, and this will help it. Best to you, and happy holidays!"
12/24/2010: Mikec from Iloilo, Philippines replies: "Has anyone in EC tried Pauling's theraphy for heart disease? 6-8 grams of vit. C with 6 to 8 grams of Lysine per day and actually recovered?

I'm not questioning the credibility of Linus Pauling but I'd like to hear from anyone his or her own experience with this therapy. I have heart disease and I am seeking help. Please email me at tradecommodities(at)live(dot)com directly. Thanks and God bless you all and especially EC."

[QUESTION]  06/27/2009: Mary from Los Angeles, California: "I have just been diagnosed with a Leaky left heart ventricle because the artery had become thick. Can anyone tell me if there is a natural cure for this? The doctor said a lot of people have this. He wanted to give me High blood pressure meds even though I do not have high blood pressure. He said it would heal it. I told him that it didn't make sense to me and if there was anything naturally I could do? He said walk briskly for 30 minutes daily. I need to lose about 25 lbs and haven't exercised in two years. Does anyone have any other info since the thought of surgery really upsets me. Have you been healed from this? Or is there such a thing of healing this condition.

Thank you,
Mary"

06/09/2009: Tavora from Brooklyn, NY replies: "Dana: Try cayenne pepper in warm water. A teaspoon to start is sufficient but advise your husband to work his way up to a tablespoon. Cayenne pepper is very effective in strengthening the cardiac muscles and is great for increasing circulation. It is known for assimilating into the blood very quickly and can be used as an emergency treatment for the onset of a heart attack. I know for a fact it decreases high blood pressure because when I had a high BP reading for two weeks straight (which is somewhat abnormal for becuz my BP is generally normal) I drank a tablespoon of the cayenne w/ warm water and within 30 mins.....my reading was back to normal. (ie. HIGH for me was 154/95)

I hope this helps. God Bless! :0)"

09/23/2011: Nicole from Carrollton, Ga, Usa replies: "I am 41 years old and collapsed during a 5k race in August, 2011. I was told that I have a bicuspid valve and that as a result I had a pretty substantial aneurysm. 2 weeks ago yesterday, I had open heart surgery and chose to have one of my valves replaced with a porcine valve. I did not want to go on blood thinners and YES, I DID honor the spirit of the donor. This is ironic because I am a vegetarian but, that's another story. In making the choice to receive a tissue valve, I now face the high probability that this valve will need to be replaced in 15-20 years. Does anyone have any tips on how to prevent stenosis and how to keep this new valve healthy. I am extremely active and would like to continue being active. Thanks for any advice!"

02/29/2012: Peter B. from Eden, Nsw Australia replies: "Simple way to clear blocked arteries also helps blood circulation.

20 years ago I had an angiogram and plaque was found in my arteries. Many of my family have had heart problems. I was informed that I would probably need bi pass surgery in about ten years from that date if the blockages became worse. A friend who had been scheduled for bi pass surgery told me of a mixture he had taken that completely cleared all the blockages so much that they cancelled the surgery as they said there was no need as all his arteries were found to be clear of blockages. Anyway at a later date I tried the mixture. After 2 months my doctor sent me for MRI scans. They found most of my arteries clear of any plaque or blockages.

So hopefully you can use the following information to help someone.

Regards, Peter B.

First use fresh water to wash the lemons and garlic.

Take 6 lemons cut up including peel (Make sure the lemons are the thin-skinned types). If you can only get the thick-skinned ones simply peel the thin outer yellow peel. Place this in a heap ready to go into the mixture. Then peel off the thick white stuff and throw away. No need on the thin-skinned lemons, just chop them up. The garlic (30 cloves) you usually get about ten cloves per bulb of garlic. Just separate the cloves and chop up (no need to worry about a bit of peel or shell), as the whole lot will be strained when finished.

Place 3 lemons and 15 cloves of garlic in blender or vitamiser. Top it up with water (If you want you can add a little sugar for taste) and then vitamise.

Pour into a metal pot. Then repeat the process with the other 3 lemons and 15 cloves of garlic. Finally was the vitamiser out with another litre of water and pour this also into the pot. Reason for only mixing half quantities is the standard vitamiser or blender will not take 6 lemons, 30 cloves of garlic an 3 litres of water. Overloading will damage the blender; so small loads are better than large.

Bring the pot to boil, and then simmer for five minutes. Pour through a strainer, and let liquid drain into another pot. Finally when all the liquid has drained into the pot, leave it for some time to cool.

When it has cooled use a strainer and funnel to pour into bottles.

Note: give the mixture time to drain through the strainer. And do not keep the slurry from the strainer. Simply throw it away.

You should finish up with (About 3 to 4 Litre Bottles Quantity). Store in fridge. NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC BOTTLES (Plastic bottles with filled warm or hot liquid can cause serious health problems), as plastic particles will leach into liquid in bottle. Use only GLASS Bottles to keep the mixture in.

First Dosage: Drink 1 small standard glass each day for three weeks. Then stop for one week.

Second Dosage: Drink 1 small standard glass each day for the final three weeks.

Remember this mixture will definitely clear all the plaque that it has taken your whole life to build up. So it should be many years before heart blockages reoccur. The high antioxidant levels in the mixture could also help address the problem of other conditions such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, kidney, bursitis, fluid and renal problems.

You can also warm the liquid if preferred, or even dilute it with water and ice for a refreshing summer drink. The lemons kill the smell of garlic on your breath. The secret of the mixture is it's easy to prepare, and inexpensive to make up.

The mixture originally comes from Ireland and has worked naturally for many people over the centuries.

Note: If the above works for you it will mean you will be able or not need heart Bi-pass surgery. Any type of full anaesthetic surgery can sometimes lead to memory problems; indeed some older people sometimes after several operations can deteriorate and be simply referred to as Dementia sufferers."

03/06/2012: Savitri from Washington, Dc replies: "This is the receipe as sent to me by a friend from India. It varies from above recipe that it calls for boiling down to 3 cups, then cooling and adding to 3 cups of honey. Taking 1 tablespoon each morning for cleansing arteries/veins and continuing for good arterial health.

For Heart Vein opening:

Lemon juice 01 cup
Ginger juice 01 cup
Garlic juice 01 cup

Apple vinegar 01 cup

Mix all above and boil on low heat, approximately half hour, when it becomes 3 cups, take off stove and let cool. After cooling, mix 3 cups of natural honey and keep it in bottle.
Every morning before breakfast use one Tablespoon regularly.

Your blockage of Vein's will open.

I have not tried EITHER RECIPE, so I can not vouch for either one. But I am planning to try this one sent by my friend. Not sure how to make/acquire 1 cup of garlic juice or 1 cup of ginger juice except perhaps to boil ginger root in water ditto for the garlic to make a juice. Any suggestions?"

11/20/2011: Salvavida from Woodbridge, Virginia replies: "Remedy of clogged arteries (heart disease) and kidney stones.

This comes from a homeopathic doctor in Germany. A friend was scheduled for heart surgery, and by the time the procedure date arrived, it was determined it was not needed.

As for kidney stones, I was told this recipe dissolves them (but I have no confirmation).

1. 40 cloves of garlic chopped finely ( I use the processor) 5-6 lemons cut in half and seeds removed.

2. Process in the processor (including the skins).

3. Combine lemons and garlic and a liter of water bring to a simmering boil then remove from heat.

4. Strain garlic and lemon from the water.

Put the lemon/garlic water in a jar or pitcher and keep refrigerated.

Dosage: For three weeks take a shot glass every day. Then off one week. Then repeat for three weeks again."



Vitamin C, Lysine

[YEA]  09/18/2007: Louise from Ocean Grove, Australia: "I have had broken capillaries on my face and neck since I was in my teens. Recently I read that broken capillaries anywhere on the body could be a sign of heart disease as they show that smaller capillaries in the body are under stress and possibly blocked with plaque. Since I have a family history of heart disease (mother, grandmother, grandfather and two great aunts) I started taking 6 grams of vitamin c and 3 grams of lysine daily. This is the basic Pauling protocol for the prevention of arteriosclerosis. It has been three weeks since I started taking this and the thread veins on my face and down near my ankles have nearly disappeared. Also my feet are warmer. Both of these supplements can be bought cheaply in bulk powder form, so for anyone who has a family history of heart disease or broken capillaries this may well be worth trying. For the record, I have taken large doses of vitamin c, complete with biovflavanoids and rutin, for years. The vitamin c by itself has never helped. It was only after I added the lysine that they virtually disappeared."
