A heart case to share

[Guest guest]

I thought I would share this case with the group. The

treatment was very simple, yet made a huge difference in quality of life for

this patient. The patient and her husband live a simple lifestyle with a

limited budget, so treatment options were somewhat restricted.

DT was an 80 yo F when she first came to

visit in Aug 2000 with CC of fatigue and muscle weakness, LOA, HTN and occ

palpitations. She was on 4 different BP meds which only barely controlled

her BP. After being very active most of her life, she was barely able to

walk from one end of the house to the other. Her diet was excellent and

always had been very healthy. Over the next few months (working with her

MD) we eliminated 1 of her BP meds, added cratoxy and CoQ10 which improved her condition

somewhat. Extensive testing by her MD showed completely normal heart

function and structure except for mild enlargement, all blood work normal

except for mild Fe def. anemia. The MDs concluded she had mild

cardiomyopathy, and there was nothing they could do to help other than try to

control her BP. The patient started herself on Floradix after finding out

she was anemic, and refused Fe supplements recommended by the MD.

Toward the end of 2000, I took my first

UNDA class. DT was one of my first (experimental) patients. I

started her on 8, 25, 248 for cardiac insufficiency, continued cratoxy and

CoQ10, and added in (Thorne) KMg as she was starting to get leg cramps.

By the next visit 4 weeks later she was feeling much better. Next month I

gave 8, 25, 203 (cardiac insufficiency). The next month there was an even

bigger improvement. She was able to exercise again, do her chores around

the house and generally felt very well. She opted for no further

treatments, and remained well for the next 3 years.

In the spring of 2004 her symptoms

returned – fatigue, weakness, aching muscles, LOA and SOB. She was

frustrated with not being able to do things. She couldn’t stand

long enough to prepare a meal without getting exhausted. She was

still taking 3 meds for BP (atenolol, spirozine, plendil) and had some stress

caused by one of her adult children moving back home. Her MD had run a 24

hour halter monitor which showed normal heart function, but a stress test had

to be stopped after a few minutes due to her extreme fatigue. I

noted she was very pale, thin and frail. There was no energy in her

voice, her eyes were dull, and she looked very old (age 84). I gave

her UNDA 8, 24, 25, cratoxy and CoQ10 in April, UNDA 8, 25, 248 in May and 8,

24, 25 again in June. Last visit (July), she was feeling much better, her

colour had improved, her energy had improved and her husband said she was

brighter and more interested in life. She is now able to get out and walk,

and do all her daily activities around the house. She is very pleased

with her progress and I am trying to encourage her to continue treatment even

though she is feeling well. (She wants to stop as she is feeling well

again, and feels the UNDA drops are expensive).

The reason I wanted to share this case is

because it is one where I didn’t do much except for the UNDA, and it

seemed clear to me that they were primarily responsible for the huge

improvement in this patient’s quality of life.

As a side note, her husband is also 84 and

is extremely fit, mentally sharp and vigorous. I asked him what his

secret was. He said he thought it was 3 things. First was an

excellent relationship (he and DT have been married over 60 years and are still

very much in love), second he and DT have always had a very healthy diet and

regular exercise (wood chopping, gardening etc) and third he has been taking

vitamin supplements since the 1960s. The vitamins are standard variety

multis and antioxidants primarily, but he has been consistent with them for

over 40 years.
