Co-enzyme Q10, 100-300mg/day Fish oil with 480mg of EPA and 360mg DHA/day Hawthorn, 500-900mg/day Magnesium 500mg/day Vitamin C, ascorbic acid 6,000mg/day According to a study by Dr. Sydney Bush, blocked coronary arteries can be opened by taking 10,000 mg of ascorbic acid/vitamin C a day (divided doses) and 3,000 mg of lysine twice a day. Conventional medicine hates these studies: they'd rather sell you angioplasty or something else that really doesn't work. But they'll experiment on you anyway.

I have no wish to blow my own trumpet, but I have studied cardiology extensively, thenosekows, hasn't and does not know what he is talking about. Best advice is a healthy diet, eat at least 3 portions of oily fish per week, exercise, limit alcohol consumption and stop smoking if you smoke. There is no good evidence to support the rubbish that thenoseknows mentioned. 10,000 mg of ascorbic acid/vitamin C a day (divided doses) and 3,000 mg of lysine twice a day will not open up blocked arteries, there is no reason why it should. If you have arteriosclerosis, you cannot remove the atheroma in your arteries, all you can do is limit further build up. Arteriosclerosis is part of the ageing process, however an unhealthy lifestyle and diet will of course accelerate this process. "Conventional medicine hates these studies: they'd rather sell you angioplasty or something else that really doesn't work. But they'll experiment on you anyway" Angioplasty opens up the blocked artery, improving blood flow to the heart. Please show me an equivalent in Altmed. I would also be interested to know how you actually evaluate this too. What diagnostic testing do you use? MPI? What? I think you are full of BS.

Prolonged stress causes affects heart, immune system By Jane E. Allen, Los Angeles Times When someone is confronted with stress — whether physical or psychological — the brain is the first part of the body to respond, reacting in two distinct ways. In one of the reactions, a regulatory part of the brain called the hypothalamus sends signals through sympathetic nerves near the spinal cord to the adrenal glands, commanding them to release the stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine (also called adrenaline and noradrenaline). These hormones gird the body for action. They boost heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and blood flow to the muscles and brain, providing an extra surge of energy in times of physical danger. But chronic stress opens the floodgates to epinephrine and norepinephrine, regardless of whether there’s a threat, allowing bacteria, viruses or tumors to flourish and making blood more prone to clotting. The brain’s other reaction comes through the pituitary gland, which sends signals through the bloodstream instructing the adrenal glands to release the stress hormone cortisol and other steroids. In the right amounts, cortisol helps the body recharge, enhances disease resistance, fights inflammation and improves memory. In excess, however, cortisol promotes the accumulation of abdominal fat, suppresses immunity, shrinks brain cells and impairs memory. Overtime, cells become less sensitive to the protective effects of cortisol, and inflammation goes unchecked. Physical or mental stress can take an enormous and sometimes deadly toll on the heart. It increases blood pressure, narrows blood vessels and causes blood to become stickier and more likely to clot, increasing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke. In February, Irwin published a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry showing that stress and depression in heart attack patients increase amounts of chemicals that make certain immune cells sticky and help them travel to artery linings, where they produce inflammation and promote coronary artery disease. A study published last week in the journal Circulation found that mental stress also triggers irregular heartbeats, which can be deadly
