I need prayer and sound medical advice.
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
I have never smoked, I took my last alcoholic drink in 1979, I swam laps 4 or 5 times a week and swam in master’s competition for the last 42 years, and I have NEVER taken the Covid vaccine. Yet , yesterday, I had a heart catheterization, my 4th test in a sequence, that showed damage all around my heart with blockage in all 5 valves. The next thing the doctors want to do is operate and I have an appointment with Cleveland Clinic’’s best cardio surgeon on the 13th. I need prayers from all my brothers and sisters in Christ and I need good alternative medical advice from someone in the know.
Just said a prayer for you. Genetics play a big factor in those issues, so it is likely nothing you caused. If you haven't already done so, I would recommend testing your homocysteine levels as you may have a copy or two of the MTHFR gene, which can wreak havok on the heart. If it comes back high and you have copies of the gene mutations, I recommend finding a good functional dr and supplement methyl B vitamins. They can work miracles on heart damage. Disclaimer: I am not a Dr., but have a lot of experience with these mutations and can speak from that.
What are methy B vitamins & why use those ones?
Hes referring to L-methylfolate. People with the MTHFR gene have an impaired methylation pathway which makes it hard for them to absorb & assimilate regular folic acid aka Folate, also known as vitamin B9. They in turn require L-methylfolate which is of course already methyated.
Methyl is just the active form of the vitamin. Having a copy or two of MTHFR causes the body to not be able to do its methylation process. So, a person with this issue can eat all the spinach they can, but will never convert any of that folate consumed to the active form. Basically, the body has no folate and B12 to use and this causes a ton of issues in the body, especially the heart. It has a huge impact on mitochondrial functionality and that leads to a multitude of health problems. Cardiovascular, fertility, brain function, mental health, nerve disorders, you name it... it probably has a direct link to those gene anomalies.
Would also like to add that half the population walks around with these gene mutations and have no idea.
I use this because I take a bunch of other supplements via dropper every AM:
Organic Methyl Folate 1000 mcg + Methyl B12 Cofactor (300 Servings) – Metabolically Active 5-MTHF Form, Organic Berry Flavor, Liquid Sublingual Form – Mood, Cognition, Methylation, Pregnancy (1oz) https://a.co/d/dJmBW3i
Thank you. It has been a while ago that someone told me about that & I had forgot. I went to look at the B-12 I use & it was the Methylcobalamin (as opposed to the cyanide sounding one IIRC)
