Hi Owen,
Do you remember that I had open heart surgery with four bypasses last year? Since a couple of months ago, I realized that my heart condition was caused by Plavix (had my doctor taken me off Plavix).
Anyway, I had to take a DNA test (for a possible lawsuit) and I just got the results back. My
hematologist was very surprised to see that I had two mutated genes, which causes elevated homocysteiemia (probably the cause of my first blocked coronary artery back in Aug. 07).
I have done a lot of research about this and came across a good study by Oregon State University in combination with Linus Pauline. I was surprised to see his name, but understand that he studies about this too.
My question to you: Does the Vit. C helps with this? In addition, I take Folic Acid, but is there anything else you know that I should take?
Thanks, K
Dear K,
I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad reaction to Plavix.
Are you and your attorney aware that several trials of Plavix were cut short because the subjects in the Plavix group were doing worse than those in the Placebo groups? I read about these failures in at least 2, maybe three trials, in the news.
Vitamins can affect your "genetics" in myriads of wonderful ways, and maybe some day we'll be able to predict just how. After all, your genetics is the products of porteins, mostly enzymes. I once wrote a paper about this: http://internetwks.com/owen/gene.html
The Pauling/Rath unified theory mentions McCully/Homocysteine, because elevated homocysteine is a symptom of low vitamin C blood levels.
So vitamin C is the key, but If you want to leave little to chance, I would consider following my protocol,

most of which is contained in the Tower Ascorsine-9 product,
