Hi all. My relatively healthy mother has been advised by the ER cardiologist to have a heart valve replacement. There was an article last year in the NY Times that this operation is expensive and causes other problems especially in the very old. Any experience with this?
Her symptoms are difficulty breathing, weakness in her arms and fingers, raspy throat.
There is a wealth of info on the internet on fixing heart problems at any age without the darn drugs (that only made her weak and didn't solve the problem at all), and if heart surgeons are telling us online how diet and other approaches actually work better, the only reason we are submitting our loved ones or ourselves to their methods is brainwashing by the huge corporation$.
