Hi Corrij, He is doing very well! He We are invited to a dinner to meet with local cardiologists about the LVAD that he has. The local doctors here will observe how it works, etc. They are talking about a heart transplant in the fall for him. I think if he would have been older, he may have stuck wi...

Hi Corrij, The cardiologist said that it is okay for Shane to take the supplements from your protocol! He said that he wasn't sure if it would really make a difference because of the poor condition of Shane's heart (but we know better). He did say to take fish oil and thought that it would be good f...

Hi Corrij, Shane is doing much better! He is now up to 150 lbs. and has gotten a lot more energy. He's still on the same meds that I told you about in the last post and we will be in to see his heart doctor tomorrow. We have been staying with my Uncle who lives close to the hospital that are VAD and...

Hi Marion, Your English is just fine, it is also confusing to me sometimes on how to spell things..lol Wow! Your experience was quite scary too. I'm glad you came out of it feeling better and prayers do help! The doctors said he would be in pain for another few weeks, so maybe his back and ribs will...

To bring everyone up to date, Shane got involved with drug abuse and really hurt his heart and he stopped taking his supplements for quite a few months. This ended up harming his heart so bad that he had to get a VAD or ventricular assist device implanted. The surgery was three weeks ago and he is s...

Hi Corrij, I sent you an email about Shane at your "home.nl" address with details. It was kind of lengthy to post on here. Basically, he hasn't been on the protocol steadily for a few months because he has gotten into a bit of trouble like 24 years olds do sometimes. Should he start all over again w...

Hi Corrij, Thank you for the info. Sorry it took so long to get back! I have read that Epicor really ramps up the imune system, but it also gives more energy. Would this be okay with Shane's protocol? Also can I increase the Alpha Lipoic Acid from 250 to 300 mg.? I can get a better price on the high...

Hi Corrij, Shane was having chest pains this morning and I took him to the hospital. They discovered that he wasn't taking his Lasix anymore. Somehow a while back, one of the cardiologists, possibly from out of the area wanted him to stop taking Lasix, but they decided he needs to start back on it a...
