No heart meds after 11 months!!

[Ruggged]

I am 63, had a heart attack on 1/27/16 in LAD, 2 stents, was a typical S.A.D. participant. Needed to know why this happened. Saw the movie Forks over Knives, read The China Study and How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Changed to a WFBPD on 2/4/16.
Within 90 days I was off blood thinner and statin. By 11 months I was off all heart meds, Lipid test shows ALL numbers near perfect. Blood Pressure has returned to 120/65 or less plus I lost 70 pounds. I now spread the word in news articles and in our local schools also on Face Book #Whats your Shelf Life. My only frustration is that this knowledge was not presented to me decades ago and neither of my Drs. can speak to me about my new lifestyle because by their own admission they have no nutritional knowledge or education!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Good for you for taking your health into your own hands (or should I say mouth)!

WOW! I hope Dr. McDougall gets word of your story because I think he'll be interested in it! Thank you for sharing and wish you the best.

[Lyndzie]

Wonderful! I hope more people will follow in your footsteps and be inspired by your example.

This is great Rugged.
Power of the body healing itself if only given a chance.

Please share more details on how things progressed over time. Any hurdles you had to overcome etc.
Thanks for posting

Hopefully doctors will soon be able to give their chronic patients a choice between stop gap surgeries and drugs on one hand, and the McDougall WOE on the other.

That is a fantastic story Rugged, very inspiring and the sort of real life miracle everyone loves to read about!
More power to you

That's great, I had a stent in 2009, but was never able to make the change until I saw Starch Solution video. But after 4 months I fell off the wagon. Can you tell me if you had Angina ? Can you also tell me what some of the meals you eat. I'm having a hard time finding enough things I liked

Thanks

I have never had angina or any other symptoms. I eat a variety of veggies, lots of spinach salads, broccoli, beans. I start every day with malto meal or steel cut oats. I do not cook with oil at all. I eat 3 servings of fruit everyday. Love oranges, apples and berries. I also have a handful of flax seeds or flax seed powder (the best source of omega 3 oils) on my rice or oatmeal. The more fiber you eat the better off you will be. Eat leafy greens as the chewing process enhances the body's ability to make nitric oxide which is vital for blood flow. Sweet potatoes and regular ones are your friend!

Fantastic news, Rugged. Thanks for sharing it with us. Hope you intend to write a Star McDougaller testimony.

This is a wonderful, inspiring story. It is so amazing that something so simple and good can benefit us so much. I am relatively new at this, so these testimonials really keep me going. Thank you.
