My history:
41 year old male
270 pounds, 5' 11'
Non-smoker (lived my parents for 20 years who did smoke)
No family history of heart disease
Cholesterol 270
My situation:
One week ago, I had (what I would describe as) very low stamina, pressure on my chest and pain in my throat. Went to the clinic; had a bad EKG. When to the ER and the next day had 3 stents. Dr said no damage to heart but the LAD was 90% blocked.
Got this drug cocktail:
81 mg aspirin
10 mg effient
40 mg Lipitor
25 mg metoprolol
20 mg benicar/12.5 htc
This has come as a big shock... I didn't suffer from anxiety in the past but after this, my Dr. offered my Xanax for the anxiety that I have.
Before this, I really knew nothing about heart disease or stents or Vitamin C. These questions may be on the forum, if so, please forgive and link.
My questions:
#1 I plan on losing weight. Low-carb, low sodium, low fat. Salads, fish and chicken. For now, is that OK?
#2 Can I use the PT (Vitamin C (50 mg/kg and Lysine) with my drug cocktail (I intend on taking the cocktail to prevent the stents from rejecting, clotting, scar tissue, etc...) and there be no interference?
#3 How do I quantify results? What tests do I have run and at what levels should things be?
#4 I plan on titrating up; starting with pills. I should not have problems with the pills, however, I am concerned that I will not be able to take the drinks because I have a high sensitivity to acid (that is, I get really painful soar throats from citric acid/vinegar). Is there a way around this other than IV?
My thanks:
Thank you for your site. It is currently the one little hope that I have. I would like to note than an ER doc told me to take Co Q10 and Vitamin C. He said he read a study from Vanderbilt that stated 80% of the side effect from statins were relieved from these to supplements (he said that when the door was closed btw). It is, in fact, how I found your site.

Why are you scared of red meat?
You do realize that ingested cholesterol does not equate to elevated blood cholesterol right?
You also realize that cholesterol is NOt the problem, its a symptom of another problem right?

Cholesterol levels will rise for many reasons, primarily high insulin levels which are caused high high carb diets, especially those with simple carbs. Cholesterol will also rise in response to low hormone levels where iits the base of the hormone thats lacking. It will also elevate to act as an internal bandage for damaged arterial walls where it will stick to the exposed intum of said damaged arteries. As pauling therapy begins to heal the damaged arteries the cholesterol bound to the walls or the arteries will break free and float freely in the bloodstream. This artificial rise is common and temporary.
In short just eat sensibly and avoid prepackaged items, stick to fresh fruits/veggies and meats. I would also recommend a complete supplement plan.
