Didn't get clean on PT

[hvc]

I have religiously been taking vitamin c lysine and proline for over a year. Ranging anywhere between 10-70 grams of vit c a day. Last week I had a stent put into my LAD with a 95% blockage. Don't understand. I have also been regularly taking lifeextension super k as well as other recommended vitamins and supplements.
(Just as a footnote. I was using cardio c (1-3 scoops a day) supplemented by solgar 1000mb vit c capsules.

I am now on plavix and lipitor. I know you say throw away the lipitor but, that is easy to say if you are not being told that it is necessary in your condition.

I read that vitamin e and fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) should not be taken with plavix. is that correct?

Would really like some feedback, especially from johnwen, if you would. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about that ..I had 48% superior mesenteric narrowing and the same with the mesenteric celiac artery that feeds the stomach ..was having terrible pain after eating ..I went to the health food store at first and bought pure ascorbic acid and Lysine took the C to bowel tolerance and after a week the pain after eating went away and was feeling so much better went back to daily walking and weight lifting ..that was last June and now am on heart tech from towerlabs have been on 2 jars a month and I'm going to go to 1 jar and supplement with the pure vitamin C and Lysine..again maybe Owen or Johnwen can help you..also what you eat is so important also ..eat Whole and fresh foods.

That's bad news and certainly does not fit the claims of Pauling. I will be having that moment of truth in June after I get my second Calcium Scan to see what the numbers look like after faithfully following PT along with Super K and several other suggested supplements (and diet).

Firstly, thank you Johnwen for your response. I have been taking the fish oil about an hour prior to the plavix. Is that problematic?
I had a cta 15 months prior that showed blockage but, not as much.
I was recommended to and have gone to 8grams of vit c a day. I had been taking as much as 70 grams.
How long until the vit c kicks back in?
I have been taking super k from life extension for over a uear and take 5000iu of d3 daily.
Do you recommend any specific diet?
Thank you again for your help.

Is vitamin E a problem?

Just to clarify johnwen, you are suggesting no K1 IN THIS CASE, right, based on the theory that something like a clot is keeping vitamin C away from healing his arteries? The idea is that K2 has little or no direct effect on coagulation.

I use K2 from Solary and it only has K2

Johwen, is it possible to private message or email you privately.
