I've been 'on' Pauling Therapy for about 7 months now. I think that I may have rendered the first 3-4 months less effective by continuing to smoke (at a reduced level... but still very bad, I later learned). I've been off the smokes for 3 months or more now.
In November I had an Angiogram... which showed major blockages... and the optimum course is a double by-pass, which I'm booked in for sometime in the next 10 weeks or so. I really do need to live another 10 years or so (for particular reasons) otherwise I think that I'd forego the surgery a 'put all my money' on Pauling Therapy.
My Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon (who is considered highly in a very good Cardiac Hospital) has told me to stop taking all supplements two weeks before surgery. He said he's not against supplements, but that 'they' just don't understand their interactions with drugs that may be used in surgery (heparin, anaesthetics).
I intend to take his advice and stop the supplements, but two weeks seems like an unnecessarily long time. Some supplements like Vitamin E (that thins the blood) and Vitamin K... yes, stop those a week before, but I'm reluctant to stop all the supplements because I credit them with keeping me alive this long !!
Good advice will be much appreciated.
Here's what I'm taking:
Pauling Vit C-Lysine -Proline about 15 gms per day
Unique - E 1 capsule per day
CoQ10 100mg
