When you’ve seen the light it is very heard to watch someone you love kill themselves! My husband of 40 years, although thin and active, was slowing down and stressing out at age 71… My response was to research every aspect and nudge him toward the glories of Bio-Hacking and away from the Xanax, Zoloft, Flomax, Metropolol, Lipitor and Low Fat diet his doctor insisted on. Yes, he had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I signed us both up for Calcium Scans, which he very reluctantly agreed to.
His score came back at 2182. A walking coronary!!
Dr. Davis of Wheat Belly fame says even scores this high can be managed but my husbands doctor freaked out (so did I to be honest). We were in Sweden on holiday when he began to get Angina attacks, (was it related to knowing the problem existed? Dunno…)
.By the time we return to the US, he was ready for the next step. The CAC score was in August. The Cardiac Catheterization in Sept. confirmed 3 Arteries were 90 to 93% clogged. We scheduled bypass surgery after the holidays, ,January 9th 2019.
Well…he came through the surgery like a miracle with no pain and no setbacks. Everyone has been amazed at his recovery and, yes, while I had control he was ketogenic.
BUT NOW he has started Cardiac Rehab where every session at the gym ends with a half hour movie and discussion about the Heart Healthy Diet, He also has had many follow up doctors appointments where the need for Statins is pushed. This last time the Cardiologist, when told by my husband that he had many sideeffects with statins, recomended an injectable PCK2 inhibitor.
I see him bending to the pressures. I mean this stuff is scary!
I coulds use some advice…
Thanks in advance
). Did you ask him if he’d watch some videos by keto experts-doctors just to see what he thinks? And he’s totally against it? Or to read some testimonials by other people with you? There are so many stories out there of people healing their diseases by keto.
