Diseases of the Heart, Arteries, or Circulatory System
In early February my husband had a
heart catheterization due to some symptoms he had been having.
Interesting timing, as February is a month set aside in the
medical community as Heart Month, perhaps because it is also the same
month as we remember Valentines Day. This is the most accurate
way of determining whether or not there are any blocked arteries, or
other arterial diseases.
Well my "valentine" did fine with the
catheterization, he had 40 - 50% blockages in two of his 5 arteries,
the others were fine. But he is a diabetic and has borderline
high blood pressure, so is being watched carefully by our doctor.
I sometimes wonder if he would have
been much worse if it hadn't been for the many things I have done to
help him nutritionally and with some supplements, like Mega-Chel that
help chelate plaque off the arteries. I do have some
information about that at a posting I did on my blog, if you click here you can read more about that. I have him on a fairly rigorous program, and we watch his diet carefully.

(4/16/08 Update - during the summer, on Father's Day, Paul had a heart attack, and had a stent put in a 100% blocked artery and another a month later in a 75% blocked artery. He had gained quite a bit of weight, and suffered a good bit of stress due to a job loss. He did get a new job, and we are so very thankful that he sustained no permanent heart damage, and continues to do well, and is well on his way to losing the weight he had gained. Keeping his blood sugars under control is also very important as he is a diabetic. He is also doing well in that area.)
