Hi Corrij

Thank you for thinking of me. Things are going well. I continue to take all the suppliments you recomend as well as the meds from my cardiologist. I go to see him again on January 6th for a check up. I don't know if they will do a heart ultrasound at that time or not. I was told that they would do a...

Hi Corrig, Thanks for your response. Regarding vitamin D3 to my protocol, I have a question. I have at home already VD3 (Cholecalciferol) 25mcg. Your email said to take VD3 15 mcg 2X per day. Can I use up what I have at home and take 25 mcg 2X per day or would that be too much. Also, I have a bladde...

An update

Hello Corrij, It's been about 2 weeks since we last emailed each other so I wanted to touch base with you and let you know what has been going on with me. I continue with the suppliment protocol you reccomend and I have pretty good energy levels generally. If I get tired some days, I know why - beca...

Good Morning Corrij, I guess I take the garlic because I read that it reduces blood cholesterol and protects against coronary artery and heart disease. I have been taking it for years. I also recently learned that it is also a blood thinner so it can protect against blood clots. I checked out my sup...

Hi Corrij, In your last email you mentioned that taurine improves heart function in "iron overload murine animal models". Could you please explain what this means. I have been told in the past that I have too much iron in my blood and that could lead to heart problems. Could this information possibl...

Bloating and questions

Dear Corrig, I am now taking 3000 mg MSM and 200 mcg chromium daily as you suggested and I don't know if this is related but I have been experiencing some gas and bloating since I started the suppliments. Will this pass and should I do anything? I think I will decrease the MSM dose today and see wha...

Re: Acetyl L-Carnitine

Thank you very much for those sites that sell Acetly L- Carnitine in Canada. On the site they only offer 750 mg and not 500 mg as you advised. Can I take 750 mg 2 times per day instead of 500 mg 3 times per day when I do get started? I have been taking the MSM 1000mg daily and Chromium GFT 200mcg fo...

What is the difference and should I only take aceytl L Carnitine. Also can I start taking it at the same time as the MSM and Chromium? I w...

Hello Corrig, Thank you again for the information on DCM. I have tried to find the Acetyl-L Carnitine in health food stores in my area but I have been told that it has been banned in Canada. Would you perhaps know why? I have seen others on your forum ordering this suppliment on the internet. Are yo...

About the coumadin information

Well as far as contraindications go, I have had breast cancer and congestive heart failure. Are there not any natural supplements that work as well as coumadin like garlic and vitamin E? If I had atral flutter/fibrilation because of the conjestive heart failure, then maybe I won't need the coumadin ...

Thank you for your welcome.

I saw my cardiologist yesterday and he said my ejection fraction is about 30%. He says I might be a candidate to have a defibrillator installed. I don't like the sound of that very much! He increased one drug that I am on - the carvedil 3.125 mg from twice per day to 3 times per day. He doesn't have...
