Yeah I read that Chris Pratt was criticized for asking people to pray for Kevin. The director of Guardians of the Galaxy defended him though.
The director defended Chris but did defend prayer and went along with the concept that prayer was a bad thing without Leftist allegiance invoked in an equal share.
What empty lives these fools live.
That’s a great idea for a Star Wars movie. Hopefully he will recover quickly.
Agreed. Fame and fortune is all they seem to care about.
Both work for the University of Florida Medical School in Gainesville, FL.
They both practice their trade at the VA too where they saved my life.
Not surprisingly, I can't say enough good things about the medical care I get at the VA. They are wonderful people.
Inspiring, glad to hear how well you’re living now!
Instead, I am living life to the fullest at an age when I thought I'd be slouched in a wheelchair, drooling out the corner of my mouth, just existing.
God works in mysterious ways. I count my blessings everyday.
Thanks for your well-wishes!
If your plaque has any calcification, please look into taking Vitamin K2-MK7 or Vitamin K2-MK4.
It can reverse that calcium buildup and put it into your bones.
...
It does seem to work. I was told my three year old replacement valve already had severe stenosis in 2015. I took Vitamin K2 and it was cleared up a year later. All confirmed with echocardiograms. The doctors pretend it never happened.
You are the first person I’ve communicated with that has formal evidence. The studies showed a 50% reversal in eight weeks for the rats and the calcifications they had.
Of course, K2 is only removing calcium—your actual plaque is still there, but other things can chip away at that, then.
“Crummy genetics.”
me too. both parents and all four grandparents died of cardiovascular or vascular disease.
i’ve had one infarc, one 100% blockage by scar tissue, and seven stents. none of my symptoms during infarc or angina were typical. but i’ve got good cardiologists and had enough symptoms early on that they did an angiogram and put in a couple of stents, and ever since watched me like a hawk and jump in with angiograms at the slightest report of symptoms, and thereby have kept me alive, including the infarc called the “widowmaker”.
My own infarc symptom was pain radiating up from the shoulders into the neck and head, which actually turns out to be typical of a female infarc. As far as the rest of the blockages (whole or partial), my only symptoms of angina were severe breathlessness and severe lack of stamina to the point that walking across the room was very difficult, but NO chest pressure or pain.
“I’m 44 and can’t help but count down as I approach 50. Despite all my efforts to change paths, I’m following in her footsteps. Problem is that because I’m not overweight no doc is really concerned. Just like it was with her.”
given your situation, it would be best not to count on another miracle like your mom. I know too many seemingly healthy people who suddenly drop over dead of cardiac infarc with no prior knowledge that they’ve got severe coronary artery disease.
my advice is to find a GOOD group of cardiologists, go right now, explain your family history, and discuss having a baseline nuclear stress test.
Subsequently AT THE SLIGHTEST SYMPTOM of cardiopulmonary stress (and the symptoms are usually vastly different in females than males AND even only 25% of males have the “classic” radiating left arm pain), hustle to the ER and play up your symptoms and hope for an angiogram. Best ER would be the one(s) which your cardiologists have a presence at, IF we’re not talking about actual life and death emergency, in which case call an ambulance to take you to the nearest decent one. And don’t feel bad if an angiogram turns out to be a false alarm. Probably one out of three have been negative for me, but those other ones repeatedly saved my life.
In the mean time, periodically go to the gym and workout on a cardio machine and keep track of your performance, watching for slow or sudden performance degradation.
So, from one crummy genes human to another, good luck with your crummy genes but don’t just wait around passively for that good luck!
Thanks for sharing! It’s hard to push to be taken seriously, but you’ve helped motivate me.
Wow. You’ve convinced me!! We are leaving for a tournament then our first vacation in over 5 years (might be part of my blood pressure problem!). I’ll order K2-MK7 as soon as we get back.
If my understanding is correct, MK7 is what makes grass fed dairy more healthy. We get our milk from a local organic dairy farmer and he said his cows are about 85% grass fed. Hopefully that helps some.
Be sure to tell your doctor. I told all of mine. My cardiologist even told me to stop. He had no interest in knowing why I was taking it, but whether another doctor had prescribed it. I told him there was no way I was going to stop. I still tell him I’m taking it, and he doesn’t bring it up anymore.
It may have lowered my blood pressure, too. I’d always dreamed of getting off of nifedipine, and I was able to do that.
