Not disagreeing, but want to add that heart attacks are usually a result of an inflammatory process within coronary artery walls (as opposed to plaque building up on the outside of the wall). Inflammation in the artery wall leads to plaque buildup (to repair it). If that plaque breaks through the artery wall (the intima) into the bloodstream, a clot forms leading to a heart attack.

- LinuxBender 9y agoIs there anything that can be used to safely reverse the hardening / plaque buildup? I have been using 2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-Cyclodextrin in attempt to reverse damage to the outside of the arteries and will see with time if it helps. I would like to find something that can slowly and somewhat safely soften and dissolve the plaque in the arteries over a long period of time.
- QuantumAphid 9y agoI don't know that there are medical studies showing positive results for any single factor. I've seen videos making the case for vitamin K2 and D3, as well as metformin. You will need to do your homework on this, ideally with a doctor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulemSPBA3DA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulemSPBA3DA
- LinuxBender 9y agoThankyou. I already take extra D3 and K2. I had never heard of metformin. I have had really bad luck finding a doctor that will discuss natural solutions. A nurse friend was suggesting I find a functional medicine doctor or lab scientist.
- QuantumAphid 9y agoMetformin requires a prescription, by the way.
