Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 If he gained 60 pounds in such a short period of time, it sounds like he had kidney failure. Usually when one has heart failure the odds of being alive without exercising for the next five years is around68% and the odds of being alive if you do exercise is around 91%.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 On the news I heard about Atkins was that he was extremely overweight and had 90 percent of his arteries clogged. I'm sorry, but I was an R.N. and there is no way anyone could gain 60 pounds in 8 days from IVs. The news here said he ate huge amounts of meat-and carbs and that he actually had fallen because of the heart attack he had, rather than slipping on ice.d Re: Fw: [blind-atkins] Emailing: atkins_medical_report_1 & printer=1 (fwd) If he gained 60 pounds in such a short period of time, it sounds like he had kidney failure. Usually when one has heart failure the odds of being alive without exercising for the next five years is around68% and the odds of being alive if you do exercise is around 91%.
