Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hello, I am new to this group, and have just joined.I am 52 years, resident in India. Recently, I had a health check-up done, where one test led to another. To make a long story short, a MRI revealed that I have a small plaque on a heart artery. Although this is not a cause for concern right now (the doctor didn't even prescribe any medication), I have been warned of being careful. I am a non smoker (gave up about 5 years ago), and a moderate drinker. And recently I have taken to 3 x week yoga classes. Question...I want to explore a method to be rid of this plaque. Is there any alternative medicines/herbs, etc, that one can use to be rid of this? Many thanks, Khushroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Kushroo, What a coincdence. My heart has been developing an irregular heartbeat and last night I decided to call the heart doctor on Monday. I will keep you posted on what my condition is and then perhaps if we have similar problems we can compare notes. I think I have something more than build up in the system. But we will see. I started to laugh when I read that you are 52 because that is my age as well. It must be an age thing. Take care of yourself.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yes, for women, it is an " age thing " . Heart palpitations are very common in perimenopause and menopause due to hormonal changes. Always a good idea to get checked if you're concerned, but it's quite normal. Beware, the doc will likely want to put you on some kind of synthetic hormones. Knowledge is empowerment!

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hawthorn Berry is excellent for balancing an abnormal heartbeat. If you drink alcohol, I would suggest tincturing - merely soaking - some dried berries in vodka (preferably 50 proof) or brandy for a few weeks at a time. You can make your daily drink into a medicine. It has a pleasant flavor, too. Hawthorn can also be taken as a supplement for those who like to pop their pills. ?:-D~ , " Khushroo " <kdubash wrote: > > Hello, > > I am new to this group, and have just joined.I am 52 years, resident > in India. > > Recently, I had a health check-up done, where one test led to > another.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ha ha ha ha, No synthetic hormones for me. Bio-identical or bust! Biest or Triest would be the only kind of Estrogen I would even consider and my GYNO will not put me on Estrogen because I already have migraines. At least they come in handy for something! I am still debating the heart doctor..... Thanks for your thoughts, Much love, Lorain Michelle <michelle Mon Jul 03 12:28:33 CDT 2006 Re: heart issues Yes, for women, it is an " age thing " .

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hey Lorain, good for you! Sadly, so many women are still allowing their doctors to convince them that synthetic HRT is the only way to go. I'm going to post some info on the benefits of natural, USP progesterone cream (no, I'm not trying to sell anything!) It does so much more than most women think. Now that my estrogen levels have dropped, I'm just increasing some supplements (boron and vitamin e both stimulate estrogen) and eat more phytoestrogens. Seems to be doing the trick!
