"I had an immediate, direct and palpable response to Ascorsine added to my program. This is good stuff! "

Owen--thanks for the Carol Smith report. Here's another--M. Culbert.

Last week,noting my ninth month from the heart valve/bypasses,I did a full blood panel. Everything good save for an elevation (slight) in triglycerides and,oddly enough, was only slightly high in total cholesterol because of an increase in "good" HDL cholesterol slightly over normal.This week, Dra. Aubanel, Mexican cardiologist best known for helping save Mother Theresa's life several years ago, did my latest EKG--so normal,she said, that "you're never going to do better than this" and,other than the going company restriction on salt, said I could do anything I wanted to do.All signs normal.

I'm sure Ascorsine has played a key role in my ongoing dramatic recovery, as well as weekly chelation sessions in addition to the heavy load of antioxidants I take every day anyway.

A researcher from Utah with whom I had been out of touch for some time, and who just heard of my Sept 30 calamity, opened the conversation by saying that "of course you'll have significant chest pains for the next 2 to 3 years" and thought I was fibbing when I said I had been out of chest pains in 3 weeks following the surgery and had not had them since.

You can use any,some or none of these statements.

Time for another Ascorsine shipment??

Many thanks for everything. MIKE CULBERT

Previously...

Until finally being diagnosed with congestive heart failure, the outcome of a closing valve, I had never had any real sickness in my life, and I was right on the brink of entering my "senior" years I agreed that a mechanical problem needed a mechanical fix."

On the up side, medics both orthodox and alternative were amazed that my presenting symptoms were so mild no blackouts, fainting spells, angina pains that I had never grasped the seriousness of the problems. They were equally amazed that my recovery did not take the planned three to four months but was essentially in place in three weeks. My medications rapidly dropped from 12 to 2. I have to attribute much of this to my continual ingestion of oodles of antioxidants and intermittent chelation."

To these, and thanks to Owen Fonorow, I added the Linus Pauling-recommended Ascorsine powder - a tasty daily combo of vitamin C (3 grams per 2 teaspoons/serving), vitamins E, A, B-2, B6,l -lysine, (at 2.8 grams) l-proline, l-carnitine, stevia, coQ10 and taurine (at 1 gram) which brought my total vitamin C dose up to 10 to 11 grams daily, in addition to many other nutrients.

I had an immediate, direct and palpable response to Ascorsine added to my program. This is good stuff! And I am back to intermittent EDTA chelation to help keep things working. I'm not claiming total victory yet by a a long shot

Owen--first, thanks for the Ascorsine . Second,another set of standard blood chem panels (SMA-24, CBC)showed me clear save for a--hee-hee--very slight elevation in HDL,the "good" cholesterol. Everything else normal. The unauthorized French (Augusti) test showed me with some parameters showing I was recovering from traumatic surgery. At recent talks with our patients in Mexico I have effusively praised Ascorsine .

I seem to be about 99 percent normal and all sides are continually amazed at the rapid recovery,the only difference being that the [Respected Calif Health Center] surgeons are glacially uninterested in hearing about Ascorsine , supplements or anything else not related to their (undoubted)surgical expertise. Since they are still calling me,at my age, "the poster-boy of cardiovascular surgery," I told them I will be delighted to give them a plug but if I talk to straight patients I would be remiss if I did not mention the parallel program, very much including Ascorsine . No takers yet,but we'll see. Regards,
MIKE CULBERT
