My name is Deb Gutzmann, I am a nurse and my husband is a Family Practice Physician. He too was on a statin drug a while back with 50% blockage in 4 arteries in the heart after going through an angiogram. His heart Dr’s put him on Mevacor. We were introduced to a company called Melaleuca which is a registered pharmaceutical company doing research in natural alternatives to prescription drugs.There is a product called ProvexCV, developed by a prominent Cardiology researcher at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His name is Dr. John Folts and he is the researcher that discovered that an aspirin a day can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. In conjunction with Melaleuca, he developed this product made from grape skin grape seed extract that reduces LDL oxidation which is what happens when your vessels begin to plug up and it also keeps platelets from clumping together which is a heart attack or stroke. John Folts thinks this will be the number one product in America for heart disease. It was just granted a US patent and has been medical journaled for physicians numerous times.
The other product my husband used is Phytomega, which is a blend of Omega 3 Fatty Acids and CoEQ10 and plant sterols. They are awaiting their patent on this product but this will lower cholesterol and triglycerides to the same degree that Lipitor will. Melaleuca offers a 60 day money back guarantee. My husband used this for two months and dropped his cholesterol from 240 on Mevacor to 168. His triglycerides dropped over 150 points in the two months and his diabetes is in better control than it has ever been. The Provex CV also is an anti-inflammatory which helps reduce the inflammation inside the artery walls. Inflammation can be more of a culprit for heart attack and stroke than having high cholesterol. After being on these products for 3 ½ years, now his cholesterol as of two months ago was 158 and his triglycerides were 88. His HDL went up and his LDL went down. His last EKG and Thallium study were read as normal and they were not when he was taken to the Twin Cities because of his blockages.
He really researched these products in depth and actually flew out to visit the company to see what they were like. He is very impressed with the quality of researchers, the products and the company. He is now off 5 prescription drugs because of Melaleuca’s Daily for Life Pack.We do a lot of health and wellness seminars around the state of Minnesota and have helped many get off or stay off statin drugs. Lipitor will lower cholesterol but we know many that still have heart attacks and sudden death because it does nothing to stop the oxidation of cholesterol so it still plugs the arteries up.
You need a referral to purchase through Melaleuca, but if it ever sounded like you would like more information or would like to try these natural products, he would be happy to refer you. Even if you would like to talk with him or have your friend that is a Physicians Assistant talk to him, he would be happy to talk with you. People need to know there is credible ways to lower cholesterol, and stop oxidation naturally. Where else will a company give a 60 day money back guarantee with the quality of the research in these products and they are patented which means they are guaranteed to work. We love helping people get healthy and stay healthy without prescription drugs. Good luck with your problems and best of health.

Study Suggests is that, Particularly in the Very Elderly, the Risks of Aspirin Outweigh the benefits
Aspirin May Increase Stroke Risk
Some healthy older people take aspirin to ward off strokes. Healthy older people who take regular aspirin to prevent stroke may actually be increasing their risk.
In the past 25 years the number of strokes associated with blood-thinning drugs such as aspirin or warfarin has risen seven-fold, a UK study found.
The risk is particularly high in the over 75s and aspirin may do more harm than good in healthy older people, The Lancet Neurology paper reported.
"What our study suggests is that, particularly in the very elderly, the risks of aspirin outweigh the benefits" stated Professor Peter Rothwell.
Lifestyle choice
Many healthy older people also take a regular aspirin in an attempt to ward off a stroke.
Study leader, Professor Peter Rothwell, said the increasing use of drugs such as aspirin may soon take over high blood pressure as the leading cause of intracerebral haemorrhagic stroke in the over 75s. He warned than in healthy older adults the risks of taking aspirin may outweigh any benefits.
Dr Peter Coleman, deputy director of research and development for The Stroke Association said aspirin had gained a reputation of being part of a healthy lifestyle.
"However, this evidence indicates that if you are healthy and have a low risk of heart disease or stroke and unless advised by your GP to take aspirin on a daily basis then the increased risks from the side effects of aspirin are likely to outweigh the benefits of preventing a stroke."
He advised people to lower their risk of stroke by having regular blood pressure checks, eating a healthy diet, stopping smoking, only drinking alcohol in moderation, reducing salt intake and taking regular exercise.

Prostolic
My father who is 66 started taking Prostolic over 6 months ago has lowered his BP drastically. I don't know the number but I could call and ask him. His Dr. is now considering taking him off his medicine.

Truck Driver Lowers Blood Pressure
My husband is a truck driver & the DOT now has all these new regulations regarding BP levels. He went in for his physical and his was 130 something over upper 90s. This is classified Stage 1 Hypertension. He was put on 3 months probation to get it back down to normal or he'd loose his CDL - that would put us at $0 in real/livable income.
I told him about Prostolic & at first he didn't want to take it, because it only says it's to "help maintain healthy blood pressure" - no language that would even imply that it will help lower high BP. I called Melaleuca and they would say nothing else, either. So we took a chance and I put him on Prostolic. Within two weeks, it was back down to normal (around 120/80). He did nothing else, so I know it was the Prostolic.

Belly Dancing
Abraiha was born in a far away land and started her belly dancing career.
That is belly dancing in her mother's belly in Morocco!
Now Abraiha teaches Middle Eastern Dance and produces the Dancer
Showcase in Los Angeles County, California.
My secret to dancing and great health is Melaleuca The Wellness Company! I
joined Melaleuca in 2002 and have been simply amazed at the improvement in my
health!
As a dancer I need to protect my joints
from wearing out! My other secret is
that Replenix taken with the
Vitality Pack will significantly
increase collagen production in
your skin.
I used to suffer with IBS, irritable
bowel syndrome for years and could
not tolerate dairy foods. The pain and
abdominal bloating was severe. I am
sympton free of IBS and now love
to eat pizza and ice cream, all
thanks to Melaleuca FiberWise

Phytomega, A Natural Blood Thinner
The reason Phytomega works is because it is an essential fatty acid (((EFA))) From what I have heard it contains omega 3 fatty acids. That is the EFA that people do NOT get enough of. We get too much 6 and 9 and not enough 3.
Basically you could take any product from a good company as long as it has Omega 3's in it and see results. But you must take it consistently. Fish oil and flax see oil both contain Omega 3's. Look for products that carry only Omega 3's and not Omega 6 and 9. They are also good for you but most people already get too much of them. I work at a Health Food Store. EFA's are good fats. Good fats destroy bad fats. Humans need good fats in their diets to maintain their health. Good fats are also good for hair and skin and are natural anti-inflammatories. (((arthritis))) There are so many good things that Omega 3's can do to support your good health!!!
I also believe that Phytomega has plant sterols in it. Also very good for maintaing healthy cholesterol levels. Also other companies have this by itself too. However finding these both together in another brand might not be as easy. Phytomega looks like a great product to include in a healthy living lifestyle. I checked out the price and it looks pretty reasonable. If I had this product in my store I would definately suggest it to people.
Check with a doctor is because omega 3's/fish oils are natural blood thinners. if you aren't taking any other prescriptions, aren't going to have surgery and are in good health than you shouldn't have any problems.

Spider Veins
I do not take the ProvexCV ~only because I am a nursing mother. I don't think it would hurt a darn thing but the fact is because there is not enough information on herbs (Ginko Biloba) it is recommended to avoid while nursing :-s
My husband has reduced his high blood pressure considerably with ProvexCV! He does not take any blood pressure medication (prescription or otherwise) the only thing he takes is ProvexCV and Replenex.
I take the Provex and have to say it is amazing as well! Do you know that it has greatly reduced the visible signs of my spider veins?!!! Is that crazy or what?!!!! Gotta love our Vitality Line! My 13 year old son was "loosely" diagnosed with Juvenille Rhematoid Arthritis in Feb. of this year. We immediately started him on Replenex and he has had ZERO attacks since!
