Thank you, Landog for taking the time to look for my lost post. Apologies for the outstanding reply, times are a little hectic here. My previous post was about recalling the times when I first found Dr.McDougall, back in 2012 when I first experienced chest pain. I had been telling that founding Dr.McDougall, all his free information and all of the people that participate in this forums, has surely avoided me getting a heart patient. I did tell that I have been on and off the wagon since then, always having the guide lines in my brain but I also pointed out that, however, I strongly recommend being on board, consistently, 100% of the time.
But the most important question I was asking related to my husband, 92 years of age, whom the surgeon, last Autumn, strongly recommended surgery to replace a heart valve (I cannot swear if it was the aortic one, but I believe it was). My husband suffered a hemorragic stroke back in 2016, from which he came home quite well, given the circumstances and his age at that time. However, the fact that he is now 92 and the fact that he would probably be on blood thinner (for life?) after the surgery, scared us quite a lot and we did not agree on the surgery. Unfortunately, we notice that his breathing is getting more difficult; not only after exertion (i.e. walking up the stairs) but sometimes also when at rest. I know that 92 years are a good age and I know that this WOE can do lots of goods but probably not working miracles... but I was wondering if you (perhaps Dr.McDougall?)believe it could help in this precise case. And, in case you would recommend it, what shall I be paying attention particularly with his food ? I mean more protein, less protein, more starches, less starches....
Thank you very much to all of you.
