People should always check with their doctors before taking supplements or other concoctions - only your doctor/specialist knows your TOTAL health situation and what supplements you can and can not take in conjunction with other meds you might be on for the heart, diabetes, thyroid etc.
In July 2007 I had a heart attack with cardiac arrest that required 29 cardioversions/resuscitations and resulted in three stents for a 100% blocked right coronary artery and a triple bypass for blockages on the left side. I HAD NO PAIN OR CLASSIC SYMPTOMS and later found out that this is not uncommon for diabetics. It is this message that I want to promote in this blog plus my recovery process including lifestyle changes and my dealing with denial, depression, anxiety and ongoing health issues.

I get the shivers when I see this sort of thing
This is currently doing the rounds on at least one heart support group on Facebook that I am aware of. I always get the shivers when I see this sort of thing being toted as being an alternative to taking prescribed meds, especially when the post is accompanied with comments such as the "doctors only prescribe medications to make money and to keep pharmaceutical companies in business".
