Hello Ted!
I found this site and is really great! 2 years ago...I had PPH acording with the doctors, after a week at the hospital with all the analysis including a CAT Right Heart. After that my presion was "normal" I had before 77 very hig one, without any symptoms...Now after 2 years I feel the symptoms...I am pretty scared...because they don't even have idea wich cause it.
Anyways today I started with your diet and after 3 months I will tell you how is going...I have a question... I can eat avocado Or is also a vegetal oil I can walk so after the breakfast with a bit of sweat fruit a walk like one hour but after that I feel so tired.
Anyways we will see. Thank's a lot for this idea, sounds so good to me.

Hi Ivette...Here is another suggestion that may well help your condition. It is based on the Linus Pauling Heart Therapy. It is a very cheap and easy approach to getting rid of arterial plaque which was proved by the research from Linus Pauling. Here is the protocol:
6 GRAMS of Vitamin C(as sodium ascorbate) per day
6 GRAMS of Lysine(an amino acid) per day
This is a daily protocol.
Best to split these large doses into 3 or 6 doses a day. You can purchase Vitamin C and Lysine at any health shop fairly cheaply. Put simply and without going into detail, the way this remedy works is that the Vitamin C helps to scrape off and get rid of the arterial plaque -- called or referred to as "Arterial Scurvy" by Pauling -- and the lysine just stops it forming again.
The reason you probably haven't heard of this heart therapy protocol is that it has been widely ignored and suppressed for the last 20 years by the drugs companies. They don't like the fact that people can cure heart disease so easily and cheaply, this robs the medical fraternity of the tremendous profits made from both their heart drugs and byass surgery.
But now, through independent researchers testing the validity and efficacy of Linus Pauling's research conclusions and therapy, more peer reviewed research are confirming Pauling's conclusions and therapy as a truly successful way to treat heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Here is an article that explains this well:
Vitamin C, Linus Pauling was right all along. A doctor's opinion
And here, in his own words, is an audio recording by Linus Pauling describing testimonials and results that he himself has obtained using his simple Vitaminc/Lysine therapy against heart disease and arterial plaque:
The Pauling Therapy with Testimonials -- by Linus Pauling (Audio recording)
(Taken from The Pauling-Therapy Website )
Pauling himself took between 10 - 12 GRAMS of Vitamin C and Lysine daily, and he lived into his nineties without heart problems.
From my own research of the testimonials, using this Pauling Therapy should give beneficial and noticeable results within 2 weeks to a month.Replied by Ivette (Zwolle, Overijsel, Netherlands) on 06/16/2010

I have had PPH for the last 10 years I am now 38, and currently am on medication that is so so expensive. Though I never new about natural remedies, can I just do a 100% plant based diet, without vitamins I read that if I take vitamins or herbs like Gingko or aloe vera, it can interfere with the medication. I so much want to get off this treatment, which requires a pump on me 24 hours a day every day. Can someone tell me from where to start Thank you.... So much.Replied by Michelle (Gettysburg, Pa/usa) on 04/14/2012
Ted, have you done much research as to the causes of pulmonary hypertension, because it certainly doesn't sound like it. Fat build up is not the cause. Perhaps in some cases it may be... Possibly, but usually not.
To anyone out there who needs help with their pulmonary hypertension try phassociation.com instead. There are plenty of ideas from people who have been through this, know their stuff and can help. I was recently diagnosed with PH and, you're right, it is scary and difficult and discouraging. We all look for answers anywhere we can because we all want this to go away so we can feel normal and not exhausted and limited and just stressed. So far, the above site that I mentioned has brought me the most peace of mind. There are also links to financial assistance for expensive medicines and co-pays, of which I have successfully used. I hope everyone out there looking for answers for this disease will check the PHA site out and good luck to you all.Replied by Alayna (Oak Creek, Wi) on 02/18/2013

Michelle mentions phassociation.com; it appears to actually be phassociation.org :)Replied by Carol (France) on 10/21/2015
Hi Bill, I was considering the Linus Pauling protocol but I was told that all as ascorbic acid is derived from corn and nearly all corn is GMO! ! Are you aware of a safer alternative ..Many thanks for the wonderful work you do.
