Stem Cell Treatment

Hi Guido I just saw your post and that you have had stem cell treatment. I've only just heard about this and have never spoken to anyone who has had treatment. Would you mind briefly explaining what it involves? Does it require ongoing sessions and are there side-effects or reasons why some individu...

Hi Marion That's great your blood pressure is up, it makes a big difference doesn't it? I felt very vulnerable (weak) when my blood pressure was so low I would get dizzy all the time. It affected me pyschologically as well as physically. Can I ask if your cardiomyopathy is caused by pregnancy? My ca...

Hi Marion Thanks for your reply! Your English is great. I am ashamed to say I only speak one language - and sometimes I don't speak that very well! Thanks for explanation of amino acid dosing. Makes sense. I assume you have low blood pressure and the Carvidelol makes you dizzy? This was my problem. ...

Sharon Ley (Dilated Cardiomyopathy Post Pregnancy)

Hello Willie Thanks for your powerful reminder! It's true that when one is feeling so much better that one can get too relaxed about going on with rest of protocol. I've been taking things slowly as I've also had the big job of increasing my carvidelol from 3mg to therapeutic dose of 25mg x2. My blo...

Sharon Ley (Dilated Cardiomyopathy Post Pregnancy)

Hi Corrij Thanks for your advice. I've been on chromium 200mg, MSM (1500mg building up to 3000mg), carnitine (1500mg) for about 6 days now and have been feeling OK. One question, should I take MSM or carnitine in divided doses or is it just as beneficial to take total daily amount at one time. It wo...

Sharon Ley (Dilated Cardiomyopathy Post Pregnancy)

Hi Willie *Are you saying I should start again on MSM and chromium now or instead begin carnitine, taurine, alpha lipoacid, magnesium and introduce MSM/chromium later? Until now, I've introduced one supplement at a time so I can see how it affects me. Plus I've not introduced anything new when I hav...

Hello there Corrij and Willie Thanks for you email, Corrij. Of course, you're right about ICD and I have to balance positivity with being realistic. I see my cardio this week so we'll talk more now that he has results from holter monitor. He was hoping to catch an episode of tachycardia to see if it...

Dilated Cardiomyopathy Post Pregnancy (Sharon Ley)

Hi Willie,Corrij Just letting you know how things are going here. I stopped taking MSM after few days as I was getting palpitations. Found my MSM included artificial sweetener which I discovered (from another Forum fellow) can cause palp/s. Stopped MSM and palps stopped. Finally sourced pure MSM but...

Hi Corrij I started using MSM (750mg of powder x 1 per day) three days ago. So far I have not experienced any side effects so will take two doses as from tomorrow. Haven't started chromium yet. Thought I'd wait til I get to full dose of MSM. My doctor said she couldn't see why I couldn't take them a...

Hi Corrij Thanks for advice. The Vit E is naturally derived oil capsule. As for Q10, I'll use up what I've got and then switch to Solgar which is only recommended brand that I can get in Australia. Still haven't started on chromium and MSM as my doctor is checking if these are OK with my Dilatrend a...

Did they examine whether your veins (neck or groin) let enough blood flow? They did. Doctors didn't remark on this. Do you suffer with decomposition or swollen ankles? Don't know what decomposition is but I have absolutely no fluid retention in my ankles. Do you have a fluid restriction? No Are ther...

Hello Corrij It's a pleasure to meet you! Thank you for your quick reply! I now have your revised protocols. I had already bought some chromium piccolinate 200mg- is that the right form? I don't know whether it is same as chromium GTF? Are there special recommendations about when/how should take chr...
