I know we have our disagreements but I have always praised your transformation and new lease of life and used it as inspiration for others. I am surprised, though, since I recall you posting that, after you took up cycling, the Doctors had given your heart a clean bill of health.

If 9k is your biggest complaint, it's a good sign. No other damage?

Agreed Siani and others the smokes are gonna have to go

????? You were pretty emphatic you had given up, last December...

...i have absolutely no nil nana any one of those as an addiction i have even packed in smoking

What caused it was very low magnesium

Believing this is hardly going to motivate you to stop smoking.

Time to take the 3 'S's a little more seriously?

STRESS (Arguing may add a little zest to life but it certainly isn't good for the heart)
SMOKING
STATINS (They don't seem to be giving you the protection you expected. Are you sure they aren't actually increasing your risk?)

'Statin use is associated with an increased prevalence and extent of coronary plaques possessing calcium.'

Sorry to hear of your plight Sarge and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Give up the SMOKES once and for all. As you know I've had a couple of strokes and am now reliant on Warfarin to thin my blood. I gave up smoking nearly 3 years ago after being a heavy smoker for many moons. Admittedly I've lapsed a couple of times in recent months (due to stress) and instantly noticed deterioration in my health as a result despite my increase in exercise and change to a healthier diet so I have made a vow never to lapse again.

Why all the way to HH hospital? Is there no where nearer to Pranburi City? I know you are a staunch supporter of HH hospital but I would have thought time was of the essence with a heart attack unless of course you used a mobile ICU to get you there

Anyway......speedy recovery Sarge

quote HHADfan

He's regained seventy percent of the function in that area of his heart. His medications have been reduced by eighty to ninety percent.

After any heart attack there is always damage how much depends on many factors. Some function can return but NEVER 100%
With each and every heart attack the damage gets greater it never gets less i am now on 4 Miachardial infarction's and an arrhythmia your post shows you do not understand the subject of the damage to ones heart
As for stopping smoking it is NOT easy to stop but very easy to Start
However i am trying again this one frightened the crap outa me
As for your delusions about statins i will keep on taking them to stop the cholesterol blocking my veins

Richard Pranburi Hospital can stabilize one but it is not equipped as is HH hence ambulance and blue light all the way

[hhfarang]

Hope you feel better and get better Sarge.

BTW, what phone number do you call to get that HH Hospital ambulance pick up or did you use a Pranburi ambulance service. When I was at HH Hospital last I saw that they not only have regular ambulances, but at least two of those mobile hospital types that are set up to do some serious work on you en route.

[sargeant]

When attack happened put my nitro glycerin under my tongue it got a bit better but got worse quite quickly second nitro under tongue and on Motosigh i go toot sweet quick i got about halfway and blacked out came to ambulance to Pranburi Hospital
finally got it through to them heart attack i am not pissed and as soon as i was stable it was the Pranburi Ambulance took me to HH

[MrPlum]

...your post shows you do not understand the subject of the damage to ones heart

Putting aside your presumption, I posted based on YOUR previous feedback and hadn't seen HHAD's post, otherwise I wouldn't have asked. As to the ability of the heart to repair, practitioners like Ornish have proven it can be.

As for stopping smoking it is NOT easy to stop but very easy to Start

Everyone knows this but you were adamant you had no addictions and had stopped and have been posting health advice, to others, while smoking and not declaring it.

As for your delusions about statins i will keep on taking them to stop the cholesterol blocking my veins

They are not my delusions but those published by orthodox bodies like the National Institute for Health. The link is from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute. Heart specialists. The study shows that statins are associated with INCREASED plaque.

Doctors are not always up to date with these kinds of studies.

[sand_dancer]

Plum

The guy is recovering...... Hopefully...... From yet another heart attack......

Why not help his recovery...... By giving your lips and fingers a rest......

A simple get well soon would have sufficed...... Without the rest of your crap.....

[sargeant]

Sand Dancer as per bulk standard normal he has NEVER had a heart attack

NO EXPERIENCE and NO QUALIFICATIONS

But he will tell everybody what to do

oh sorry its just little old cyber basher me

Just do not listen to any of his sex advice it probably comes from the internet alone

Sarge, my son has switched to "smoking" vapour cigarettes. He has been off the cigs for quite a few months now. He says he does not miss them. I wonder how long it will be before he quits the vapour ones? I do not know how harmful they are, but I am sure must be a lot less than tobacco. Maybe worth a try. It is a big thing in the UK with vapour shops opening up all over the place.
If you get a craving, try and do things that you cannot smoke with...shower, swim etc. The craving will pass, I know from experience. Good luck with it

Re: Statins, I have taken them for years. My cholesterol is controlled. I do try to eat sensibly, avoiding a lot of fat etc. I do have a weakness for cream I eat muesli most mornings with extra nuts and a chopped banana. Just a cooked breakfast on Sunday. I also cut down the salt.

Re: Medication: I think listen to your doctor, do what he tells you, doctors are qualified, forum members are not with regards to medication. Relax, you have had enough stress and worry. Common sense will tell you the rest. You know deep down yourself what has to be done. You can do it

[sfs]

Sarge I wish you a speedy recovery from your latest Heart Attack and would suggest as some others have said plenty of rest and relaxation. You know only too well what you need to do for a healthy life style and you certainly don't need advice from any self appointed experts. Take it easy.

[MrPlum]

But he will tell everybody what to do

Others are telling you to stop smoking. And when have you ever listened to anything I have said, beyond wishing to use it as fuel to feed your craving for argument? Didn't you research global warming then start posting as a 'self-appointed expert' ad nauseum? Of course you did.

It is a fact, whether you like it or not, that I have a wealth of experience gained over 20 years, in healthy living and have helped hundreds of people, who unlike you, have been open and grateful. Some have flown in from other countries to see me. I don't blow my own trumpet on the forum just because I've learned to ride a bike. People come to me through word of mouth and recommendation. That clearly doesn't make me a heart expert but then I am not claiming to be one.

I present information FROM experts, often qualified Doctors, that you can investigate further for yourself or not and make a judgement. Mostly it is for more thoughtful members like J.J.B who is an expert in his field, or Dr Mike. It has always been wasted on you. I don't have the same respect and reverence for Doctors that you do. As long as your Doctor gives you those shiny pills, you won't get off your rear. Their 'Magic Bullets' don't address root cause and keep people from doing what is necessary.

As far as 'allowing' you to recover. That is your responsibility. I am not responsible for your state of health. You are. Nor am I forcing you to lash out just because you don't get sympathy. I posted about your smoking, in no uncertain terms, 4 years ago. Long before your vocal wet-nurse and other newbies joined the forum. Not to annoy you but to get it into your thick head. Out of concern, not malice.

Sympathy doesn't motivate people to change their unhealthy choices. A kick up the pants might. I know and you know that what you really need is a sergeant to make you run 10 laps around the parade ground, at 'high port arms', while the rest of the battalion kick you soundly up the arse, as you shout... 'I will not smoke another cigarette EVER again!'

I won't respond to you any further. Try to end your obsession with me. It isn't helping your heart.

[lindosfan1]

Plum you never know when to stop do you.
You stated

Code: Select all

I present information from experts, often qualified Doctors

What are your qualifications to quantify what is right or what is wrong. You have no medical qualifications. Therefore any advice you you give is an opinion which you are entitled to but not to pass yourself off as a medical expert. Your medical advice is worthless.
Sergeant look after yourself.

[migrant]

Sarge

Hope you recover quickly! Take care!,

[MrPlum]

Plum you never know when to stop do you.

I stop when I have finished responding to others points, challenges or personal attacks.

What are your qualifications to quantify what is right or what is wrong.

What are yours, when I post on alternative or natural remedies? It depends on the subject matter. Members pour forth on a variety of topics, even health, for which they evidently are not qualified. Yet you say nothing. Demand for 'qualifications' is just another line of attack. Right and wrong is difficult to ascertain when 'experts' constantly contradict each other.

You have no medical qualifications. Therefore any advice you you give is an opinion which you are entitled to but not to pass yourself off as a medical expert. Your medical advice is worthless.

But that isn't true, is it? I have plenty of written testimonials from over the years and members have reported positive results from some of the advice I have posted on this forum. I wouldn't have been able to operate as I have if I had never achieved any results. Nor would anyone recommend me.

Just to be clear, I no longer provide help to others. Buy the book. I'll be finished soon.

Sergeant look after yourself.

Poor advice. He clearly hasn't been looking after himself.

[sargeant]

You would be hilarious if you weren't so deluded

I won't respond to you any further. Try to end your obsession with me. It isn't helping your heart.

It was you chasing me to have a little bashing session on this thread

since I recall you posting that, after you took up cycling, the Doctors had given your heart a clean bill of health.

again slur/slime i have never said a clean bill of health only that i have regained approx 70% of the lost function. Maths to difficult for you i have still lost 30% and i will never get it back

????? You were pretty emphatic you had given up, last December...

I did for 3 months and then posted i had gone back on the fags seems Pete knew about it so i am stunned god almighty and visionary of all did not know

STRESS (Arguing may add a little zest to life but it certainly isn't good for the heart)

I think its your heart that is in the danger zone you have been getting your butt wiped just about all over this forum
