Re: Hv: Please answer

Thanks again for the reply, Hv.

The night he fell down, we were advised to discontinue the Plavix by the ER doctor. We did. Later however, regrettably out of fear of a stroke, we advised him to take Plavix and he only did for one time. I don't know if that one instance was enough to start a new bleeder.

The only other potential blood thinners were 2 softgels of Cod Liver oil and one serving of Memo-reze which the ginko could have been troublesome (or was it???). He was also taking one serving of the Bone and Joint formula.

To answer your question, no, he was never on Warfarin.

The concern right now is now six folds:

1) How to make sure the pneumonia does not return?
2) How to boost the immune function?
3) How to improve the swallowing function?
4) How to halt or improve the dementia?
5) How to prevent strokes?
6) How to get all the required nutrients through the feeding tube without difficulty and adverse effects?

I know about your highly effective pneumonia formula, but as you stated chaparral is highly resinous. A local herb store has it in a tincture form, but I don't know how you feel about that.

Amla, nettle leaf, bee pollen and andrographis, I take it, are excellent immune boosters.

As for the dementia and dysphagia, my focus now is on Alpha GPC as it was shown to be highly effective for stroke patients with dementia in controlled randomized studies in Mexico and Italy with fairly large number of patients.

We will also focus on Magnesium malate, soy lecithin (if we can grind it down to a fine powder that can be thoroughly dissolved in liquids), and liquid form of CO-Q10.

All this have to wait until he is released from the hospital.

Hv, please comment on the above and how to best get these substances through a feeding tube.

As always, thank you very much in advance and I hope you are doing very well. Tweet
