Homeopathic Medicine is perhaps the only thing which can unclog blocked arteries without surgery, and without any adverse effects or complications. Our "Honorable" Allopathic Doctors would not agree to that but I can't blame them for their ignorance for not knowing any better. I would sincerely advise you to consult a Homeopathic Physician.

Take Care and God Bless !

There are at least two very good studies, ARBITOR2 and HATS that show angiographic plaque regression with high dose, multiple anti-cholesterol medications - but I would not bet my cardiac function that you would have the same results (and there IS data to support it).

Nor would I bet on herbal remedies or boiler plate advice like reduce your sodium or drink more water...there just is not data to support its benefit to you...due respect to the 'honorable' homeopath - this is your cardiac function, afterall. (He always seems a little snarky for someone who professes to love everyone.)

I wonder if it is clear that you need angioplasty (procedure to unblock the arteries) at this point? One non-invasive way of determinining if you might benefit from an angioplasty would be a CT angiogram. They can do imagining that is a good approximation of the relative blockage in your arteries - and the location of such. Compare: even with clear cut symptoms (or a positive stress test) there is only about a 50% chance that they would perform angioplasty (remember that is fixing the artery, not just study it) in any given patient. With a positive CT angiogram first, the number would be upwards of 90%. At least that way you know you really need to have the arteries opened. It is a relatively new option and most cardiologists are still deciding how to best use it - and most insurance companies call it "experimental" and will not pay for it - despite some excellent studies to support its use and cost effectiveness. It is not risky. It is not standard procedure but not unknown, either.

The cardiac catheterization, while seems scarey is a very commonly performed procedure with few complications. Of course you could be that one in a thousand that has a serious complication, but you could have a serious car accident on your way to the grocery store too. That fact does not prevent you from getting milk. In other words, understand the risk, but realize you take similiar risks everyday just by walking down the street. This is not a risk free world, nor will it ever be. You just need to put the risk in perspective.

Most people do great. They are discharged from the hospital the next day. They are asked to take it easy for about a week to let the femoral artery (groin area) heal, but they are good to go thereafter, with no limitations. I have seen the procedure DRAMATICALLY improve someone's function. I hear things like "I had no idea this heart problem was affecting my life so much. I haven't felt this good in 10 years." So it seems, if you need the procedure, it will help a lot.

I hope my thoughts are helpful. Good luck to you.

Yes, it's referred to as angioplasty- stenting of the artery which is done through the femoral artery generally. My cardiologist performs a stress test and if the results are abnormal you are on your way to the "cath lab" where a catheter is inserted and if blockages are found, they are repaired either by stent or surgery! I didn't have any cat scans or anything else and most of the other patients who have been stented have told me the same senario applied!

Cut out all salt from your diet......go on a 7 day fast meaning do not eat any food drink at least 15 bottles of water a day and then when your seven day fast is over start drinking fruit smoothies in replace of your meals breakfast lunch and dinner see your doctor in 30 days and I bet he will tell you that you are doing way better.

yes there are clot bursting drugs called thrombolytics which clear up the arteries. one of them is a drug called streptokinase and is actually bacteria which attacks the clot and breks it up.
