What is the prognosis of recovery of a seventy year old man with asthma who underwent angioplasty with a history of two bypass surgery in the past?

If you are contemplating the surgery or are waiting for someone to recover, know this:

In asthma the muscles that would normally allow you to breathe fine will not relax properly. The proper levels of magnesium in the muscle tissues will allow these muscles to relax. Magnesium is a mineral easily accessible and inexpensive at supplement counters. One form it is distributed in is magnesium oxide. Different persons absorb magnesium more effectively in other compounds but this is the easiest to find. Different tissues have different levels of magnesium in the body so it is difficult to measure when there is enough. Measuring the level in the blood will not tell the medical personel if the levels are high enough elsewhere. Long term supplementation will give the body a chance to build it up.

400 mg tablets = 100% of minimum daily requirement
250 mg tablets = 62.5 %

In progressive hospital emergency rooms a patient having an asthma attack is given intravenous magnesium in order to end the attack.

Magnesium is seriously depleted in the American food supply and is the mineral that American men are most often deficient in. Some persons have no more symptoms of asthma if they simply keep their intake of magnesium up. Not enough magnesium can also bring on panic attacks. Studies some years back disclosed that the young (around 30 years old) athletic men who were dropping dead of heart attacks while jogging were all found to have one thing in common, low levels of magnesium in the heart tissue.

Answering the question with this information in mind, I would say his chances of recovery are much better if magnesium levels are raised and continually kept at proper levels. To further explain benefits of magnesium. There are at least 22 processes in the body that need magnesium. Magnesium is calcium's policeman in the body. In women especially, the body can lay down a layer of calcium in the blood vessels which then can provide a place for cholesterol to adhere also, that is it can if the magnesium levels are too low. Magnesium will help keep the blood vessels cleaned out.

The prognosis is much better with magnesium built up. This is significant enough to press the issue with the attending physician.


Secondly:
There is a medical process called chelation that can, through intravenous use of EDTA, clean out blood vessels. The process takes 6 months to complete with 30 treatments. The effects are considered effective for 3 years. The issue is finding a nearby location to administer the treatments.
