High Calcium Score of 224

Hello, My CT cardiac calcium scoring is 224 and plaque volume at 179mm3 put me in the 96th percentile according to MESA database. The results show left anterior descending (LAD) as 220 and right Coronary (RCA) as 3. My cholesterol levels are high as well.

My doctor put me on moderate intensity statins and 81mg over the counter aspirin.

After reading through EarthClinic reviews on atherosclerosis I have started 1200mg of Grape seed extract.

My questions:

1. Can I take GSE along with aspirin since I read it is not advisable to take it with aspirin or any other blood thinners.

2. Is there a time of day that is better for taking GSE.

3. Any other supplements that would help with my conditions to get off statins and bring the numbers down naturally. Will keep my PCP in loop while trying these natural remedies.

I am a 76 years young female who has been battling the statin war for years. I realized the doctors will only discuss statins and aspirin, etc. due to the only protocol they know. It makes more sense to me to deal with the atherosclerosis instead of just lowering cholesterol. My question is since I am on blood thinners is it wise to take GSE and /or nattokinase?

I used to take both but found GABA supplement. GABA not only lowers B/P but also calms...I've gotten off Carditone and BR.

Art, I've been reading so much on EC for a while now. Trying to reduce BP and pounding heart. I've had high BP for a long time now. Usually ranging 160-180 over 85-95.

Eat pretty clean, mostly organic and grass few meats. My wife and I do like to have a couple beers 2-3 times a week.

We take a lot of supplements, I also battle some knee osteoarthritis.

I started on Cardiotone a few days ago after reading your article on it, hasn't made any differance yet.

I have been taking about 400 mg or GSE daily but after reading this article, I will up it to 1200 a day.

You mention in this post about high dose nattokinase along with GSE but never mentioned it in the post on GSE.

I want to be sure my arteries are clear, I always thought nattokinase was so potent that it could break off chuncks and thus might clog other areas as you mentioned.

Do you feel nattokinase is safe to take? I am trying melatonin but had a lot of loose stools right after taking about 10mg.

Thanks for your time.
