My dad is going through the same problem right now. He had a scan done, and they are setting up for the vascular surgeon to go in and put in a stent. He has had this done once before, we were told too much plaque build-up, cholesteral. He is on Lipitor for that, but the Dr. said it HAS to be done!! His other side is blocked 80%!! So try to get in touch with your family Dr. to get set-up for tests ASAP to get a professional problem. Someone go with the patient to write things down because the patient is usually pretty stressed out to remember what was said!! Good Luck for Good Health.

Do take pomegranate concentrate, coenzyme q10, nattokinase, lecithin, magnesium glycinate, garlic, and l-carnitine if you want to remove these blockages....chelation using EDTA is a good thing to look into. Do not take: calcium supplements, blood thinners, statin drugs, bisphosphinates, and otherwise toxic substances which don't do anything to solve the problem. Dietary considerations: no eating out (90% of restaurant food contains hydrogenated oil), wheat and dairy products. Also, if you take Centrum visit www.centrumistoxic.com.

Don't smoke. Follow a low fat, low cholesterol diet. If advised by your physician, take cholesterol lowering medicine and some form of antiplatelet agent (aspirin, plavix, aggenox, coumadin or the like). Exercise. Control your blood pressure with a physician's guidance.

100% blocked???? Well, I guess you're in for a stroke since you don't have any blood going to one side of your brain! Good lord! Have it surgically cleared; it's no big deal anymore...and live a little longer.
