I would definitely suggest that he take OPCs - oligo proanthocyanidins -
I have information on a very good mixture of the top three OPCs. Send me
an email, if you're interested.  The vitamin C is VERY important too!
Good luck - It's a very positive thing that he is getting involved in
his healing process.

Hi Christy,

Before vitamins and herbs, he should be looking at diet changes. Foods play a major part in the prevention of heart disease.
A healthy heart diet has plenty of magnesium and potassium rich foods: fresh greens, sea vegetables, flavonoid-rich foods from pitted fruits, tea and wine, sea foods, fish, tofu, brown rice and whole grains, garlic and onions.
Reduce fat to no more than 10% of total daily calorie intake. Especially limit fats from animal sources and hydrogenated oils.
70% of daily calories from complex carbohydrates like vegetables and grains.
20% of daily calories from low fat protein sources.
Eat less than 100mg per day of diet cholesterol. Keep cholesterol below 160.
Add 8 glasses of bottled water daily to the diet. I suggest drinking distilled water only, as it the purest form. Chlorinated/flouridated water destroys vitamin E in the body.
Pay conscious attention to eliminating red meats, caffeine and caffeine containing foods, refined sugars, fatty, salty, and fried foods, prepared meats and soft drinks. 

My father had a heart attack in February of 1996, then had a quadruple bypass following it. He follows the Ornish diet, which is strictly vegetarian. His levels are all good now and he has lost weight.

Linda Rector-Page advises:
Cardio-tonic antioxidants:
CoQ10--60mg. 3 times daily
Germanium--150mg
Carnitine--500mg daily
Grapeseed PCOs--100mg 3 times daily
Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids--up to 5,000mg daily for interstitial tissue elasticity, arterial integrity and prevent little strokes. Take with Vitamin E with Selenium 200mcg for synergistic activity.
Vitamin B-1--50mg especially if taking diuretics
Vitamin B-6--50-100mg to unclog arteries.

Heart disease preventatives:
Chromium picolinate and Hawthorne blend to control arterial plaque and counteract insulin resistance.
Omega-3 fish and flax oils 3 times daily
Bromelain 1550mg regularly to prevent a heart attack by increasing fibrinolysis and inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Folic acid to keep homocysteine levels down, with B-6 and B-12 for synergistic results.
Magnesium--800mg.




>Also, we've seen the name Chelated come up a few times and would like know

I would suggest it.
Chelation is pronounced Key'lation.
Chelation is the process by which mineral substances are changed into their digestible form. Common mineral supplements such as bone meal and dolomite are often not chelated and must first be acted upon in the digestive process to form chelates before they are of use to the body. The natural chelating process is not performed effeiciently in many people, and because of this, a good deal of the mineral supplements they take are of little use.
When youi realize that the body does not use whatever it takes in, that most of us do not digest our foods efficiently, thatonly 2 to 10% of inorganic iron taken into the body is actually absorbed, and, even with this small percentage, 50% is then eliminated, you can recognize the importance of taking minerals that have been chelated. Amino acid bound chelated mineral supplements provide 3 to 10 times greater assimilation than the non-chelated ones, and are well worth the additional cost. And they do cost more.
When buying minerals, look for chelated on the label. Only 10% of ordinary minerals will be assimilated by the body, buty when combined with amino acids in chelation, assimilation is 3 to 5 times more efficient.


>Any personal experiences or casual proffessional advice would be great.

I hope you are helped with this information. I personally don't have heart disease, but my dad does, and I have had many patients who have heart disease. I have been in Nursing for 11 years and have studied Alternative Medicine for the past 5 years. I woprk under 2 NDs with PhDs, and hope to be starting my own clinic soon.
 
Good luck to you and your father,
Kay

I agree with Kay - it is really pointless to use herbs for this condition
unless the "common sense" changes in lifestyle are also made.  Moderate
exercise, NO smoking or tobacco in any form, low fat diet (use olive oil
when you need any oil - it's good for the heart *in moderation*), control
sodium (salt) intake, drink lots of water and fruit juices (orange and other
citrus, grape), eat quantities of salads with dark green leafy vegetables,
limit the calories (if overweight go on a *gentle* weight loss reduction
program).

I believe Kay meant to say *red* wine, as this is the only type actually
found to *help* with heart and artery problems - in moderation!

Grains should preferably be *whole* grains; at least use whole wheat bread
if you can't get him on brown rice, but stay away from too many "empty"
starches.

Add fish to the diet - at *least* 2 or 3 meals a week.  (Don't use this as
an excuse to eat tuna salad, though, with all that mayonnaise!)

Above all, keep a positive attitude.  I know it's sometimes pointless to
tell people to "avoid stress", but there are ways to deal with it other than
burying it.  Learn to be forgiving when people are unfair or unkind -
releasing anger through forgiveness is maybe the most important (and perhaps
most difficult) thing anyone can learn to promote health, and especially the
heart!  At least once a day, pass along a smile or a kind word to someone
who really needs one.

Hope this helps.

 This thread is very right on.  What can I say.  The information is
up-to-date and safe to follow.  You just can't go wrong, at least it seems.
 Let's keep giving out this good and useful information.  These diets and
use of herbs and vitamin can't hurt.  There is every thing to gain and so
far, nothing to lose.  Maybe we can put these Cardiologists out of
business.  All this diet stuff does need to begin in child hood.  I still
see many people feeding their kids junk for food.  Good eduacation in terms
of heart disease prevention will go a long way.  Of course there are also
many other risk factors that people need to be aware of.  Keep spreading
this good information.

Thanks so much for your reply, Kay. It was just what I was hoping to
be able to find! Your time is much appreciated.

It is appaling to see how much junk there is in the following 
'recommendations'.  Lets face it.  Medecines that have been proven 
'safe' and effective by state-of-the-art clinical trials do NOT work all 
the time for every patients.  And now you want us to believe that 
alternative medecine which are the figment of someone's imagination will 
work better?
	My father was ...   Well that was your father and your father 
would probably have got out it in spite of everything.  Just like some 
'straight' physicians believe that every time they 'cure' a patient that 
he/she is responsible for that cure.  50% of the times the patient would 
have got better anyway in spite of the doctor and the medecine 
prescribed.
	My parting shot, while you're lighting up your flame throwers is 
that you, particularly the credulous one who believe too easily in the 
latest fad, to read an excellent book "How we know what ins't so:  The 
fallability of human reason in everybody life" by Thomas Gilvich 
pulblished by THE FREE PRESS, a div of Macmillan Inc.  It will save you 
a good deal of money in the long run.
	OK I got it out my chest.  Keep well,... if you can in spite of 
the quacks and the doctors.

PS  My own opinion.
