I had a Coronary Artery Calcium scan (CAC scan) done in January of 2022. My score was bad, 563, indicating likely significant coronary artery disease. A few months ago, I tried the high dose Vitamin C (4,000 mg/day) and L-Lysine (4,000 mg/day) for four weeks. This therapy had been mentioned on GAW a few times in the past year or so. I had a follow-up CAC scan done on Tuesday, my new score is 698. I'm not too happy. This therapy may have worked for some people, but seems pretty clear it didn't work for me. I also did a round of a lemon juice/garlic elixer earlier in the year. If anyone else has tried the Vit C-Lysine therapy and have results to report, please post here. Thank you. (now I need to figure out what to do with a few bottles of Vitamin C and Lysine; I had planned on doing more rounds of the "therapy" if it had shown ANY positive results. I guess it could be argued "well, just think how high it would have been if you didn't do that therapy!" :) )

For artery blockage you can try Wood Ear Fungus. This is the black fungus in a typical Chinese Hot and Sour soup. If you are doing it strictly for treatment of your artery I would suggest making a tea out of it or boiling it and just drinking it as soup. It probably won't taste great but it's for your health. I know of a few people who needed surgery and/or took medication that no longer needed either. Doctors were always amazed by a much cleaner bill of health.
You should be able to find it at any Asian grocery store. It will be a dried good that you can rehydrate. It's probably best if you can get ones that are not a product of China.
