Hello frens....
A little background, late 40s - I began noticing about a year ago that I struggled at times during cardio. I actually work out regularly (3-4 days per week) but cardio was kicking my ass, at times having shortness of breath and such. Would usually have to sit out a few minutes to get my heart rate down again and then start back. My regular doctor sent me to a cardiologist to determine if I'm having heart palpitations and/or irregular heart beats. I believe the answer is yes but I'm going in for a stress test in a couple weeks.
Anyway I've already had some labwork done and basically my LDL cholesterol and such is on the high side, and am also displaying indications of pre-diabetes.
HDL: 42
LDL: 176 (high)
Total cholesterol: 253 (high)
Triglycerides: 176 (high)
Glucose: 124 (high)
Vitamin D: 65
Hemoglobin A1c: 5.9 (indication of pre-diabetes development)
I am not at a point where I'm looking a heart attack occuring anytime soon nor requiring surgery to put in a stent. But I know some of you who have been down this road before, and I'm hoping you can weigh on possible course of action.
I have saved the info that's been posted here before of the 4000mg vitamin C & 4000mg lysine daily doses to be taken for a couple weeks and am inclined to begin doing this immediately.
Yes actually I would like more specific details of what she took because I'm really interested in trying to find a "maintenance dosage" of vitamin C/lysine to take on a regular basis rather than these huge doses after problems have been detected.
So we actually got the regimen off of GAW, but I'll repeat it here. If I can find the bookmark I'll link it for you in another post.
In short, the original poster's father had major heart issues and he had done research on Lysine. They went ahead and did the regimen for several months, and it cleared up most all of his heart issues. Apparently his dad hasn't changed eating habits because he continues to do it for a month every year.
.
Anyways, about 13 years ago my mom had triple bypass surgery after finding ninety eight percent blockage. Then 2 years ago, she had another single bypass with 99% blockage. This last summer they wanted to put in yet another stent for a secondary artery which was at seventy percent. They gave her the option of waiting and said it wasnt critical, and scheduled a two month followup. I had been doing some lysine research, so I finally urged her to at least try it during the two month wait.
We checked with my family physician, and he said it's not going to hurt, It's just an amino acid and the vitamin C can't hurt either, though he did strongly recommend don't take more than three thousand milligrams of either in a single day due to her heart issues.
She agreed to try the Lysine treatment. So we started the treatment like I said before:
The original poster did 2k Lysine, and 2k vit c in the morning, and again at night. We did 1k each morning and night because we were nervous about it. She said it made her feel weird, but not in a bad way, just different. She could tell it was doing something. After a month we went down to 500 mg of each, each morning and night.
The original pster emphasized (and I 100% agree) the most important thing is to fast before and after each dose. I don't remember which, but one of them doesn't work if you eat soon before and the other doesn't work if you eat soon after.
To simplify it, we made it part of the regimen to take them at the same time, and not eat for 2 hours before or one hour after. So, take as soon as you get up and wait an hour for breakfast. Then, don't snack for two hours before bed and take it when you go to sleep. You can drink water during the fasting time.
Basically, if you don't fast, your body will only absorb something like 15% or so, so it isnt nearly as effective.
.
So after the two months, my mom had her check up. Her blockage was down to 51%.
Never once had her blockages gone down in her life. She told them what she was doing, and they cancelled her procedure. They said they would check up with her again in six months and to keep up whatever she was doing.
After a wellness, check I started on it, too. Yes, i had the same weird feelings for the first couple weeks. I've noticed significant improvements in my circulation and overall health. It also got rid of some fuzzy headedness i didn't even realize I had.
About the only caveat is if you miss a dose. Or when you decide to stop taking it, if you're like me, you'll be in the bathroom frequently for the next day and a half., or until you start up again.
The idea is that the lyzine dissolves the plaque build up in the bloodstream rather than it breaking off in chunks, so there's no risk of a heart attack. The extra vitamin c follows up behind the areas uncovered by the plaque and will repair any damaged blood vessels and veins where the plaque had built up.
It's really quite an ingenious, and deceptively simple solution that makes so much sense that it almost defies logic. That was our concern, too. How could something so simple cure what weve been led to believe is a complex issue?
Well, I'm here to say that, yes, it does work once you start taking it and feel it and realize it, it makes total sense.
Biggest takeaway should be do between1k and 2k mg of each morning and night, fast before and after, and don't miss a dose. I recommend staying on the larger dose for 2-4 weeks, before going to a lower dose, but rally i think staying on the larger dose for up to 2 months would really help clean you out.
Also, i would recommend a maintenance dosage of five hundred of each for at least a month or two after that as well, just to make sure you get nice and cleaned out. A family friend of ours said his dad took a thousand a day for his whole life of each.
I took the protocol for several weeks until my stress test showed nothing wrong. (I don't know if I had a problem before I took the stuff.)
By the way, a "stint" is a person's fixed or allotted period of work. You can't put a stint in an artery!
Stent, not stint.
Lysine is the one that you need to fast for.
Oh, I got the lysine and vit c off of Amazon, actually.
SuperiorLabs, L-Lysine, 500mg capsules. Made in USA. ~$20 per bottle/120.
The Vit c can be about anything, but we used: Nature's Bounty, 1000mg caplets, 300ct.
I keep the post open. I am on my 5th week. Preventative only (as far as I know). Feel fine.

Excellent fren, thank you!
Your story is what originally inspired me to help my mom. She's still taking the 1k dose morning g and night, and now my dad is too. Been helping them both.
Thanks for the compliment fren, but this post that I linked is from u/JohnTitor17.
I’m still doing the protocol though without issue. The only thing for me is while I do fast and follow the food recommendations, I don’t always take my 2 doses at the same time everyday.
Same, not the easiest on a hectic schedule. But it seems more that, as long as you keep them reasonably close, that is way more important than actually missing a dose.
