Dear Suzie: Heart problems occur because of electrolytes imbalance and lactic acidosis buildup intracellularly. Sometimes heart tends to accumulate too much free heavy metal iron that creates free radicals.

The other lesser problem is the imbalance of essential fatty acids (EFAs).

As to the remedy, electrolytes imbalance a simple home remedy is 8 teaspoons of lime (or lemon) plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water allow reaction to proceed at least 5 minutes, and it is taken once in the morning and once in the evening.

The remedy for lactic acidosis is simply 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken two times a day on an empty stomach.

In practice, the lactic acidosis should be dealt first then to the lemon-baking soda after a couple of days.

Both remedies lack magnesium, and therefore a magnesium supplements is required, such as magnesium acetate (or magnesium citrate or magnesium chloride) at about 250 mg/day for only a couple of days.

As to the issue of flaxseed oil or fish oil, a fish oil is better as it has anti-coagulants, omega 3, and also have chelating properties in removal of the iron and other metal buildup. I prefer to add also cod liver oil at 1/2 teaspoon as cod liver also has some ability in removing heavy metals. Oil pulling is helpful in removing excess heavy metals too. Another possibility is to use chinese parsley, or coriander as this also have good chelating properties. You might wonder why I don't usually recommend chlorella. It seems that they have problems (possibly contaminated) but in general, chlorella at least where I live is very pricey, which discourages my use of them, but it might work for someone in case the other remedies could not be obtaned. Another possible help is 1/8 teaspoon of disodium EDTA in 1 liter of water taken throughout day, as this also have some chelating properties.
