Week End Heart Attack

Michael Webster

 

While spending a week at one of my favorite places in the world, Stevenswood resort & Spa in Mendocino, California, www.stevenswood.com I was out hiking with the boys and my wife, Peggy, I felt some distress in my chest.  I thought I had pulled a muscle and had the rest of the week to work it out.  Well, it ended up that I couldn’t drive home; I had to lie in the back of the SUV.  I wasn’t in serious pain, just some discomfort, but not so much that I thought I was having a heart attack.  When we got home, my wife insisted I see a doctor, and I wasn’t in his office more than a short time before the paramedics came and rushed me off to the hospital.

 

Hospitals are usually very concerned about the potential of heart attack or if you’re having a heart attack. If you are over 50, they think you’re a candidate, so they usually rush you right in, because now most hospital emergency room personnel are trained that moments in a heart attack or stroke can make a difference between life or death.  They get on it pretty good.  At any rate, the local ER doctor felt like I was having a heart attack, my enzymes were up, and all tests showed that I probably was having a heart attack and that I probably had been having a “silent” heart attack for the past week.  Then some angiogram information and other tests showed that three of my major arteries to my heart were 98 per cent blocked, and that the ER doctor was getting hold of a cardiologist whom was on call at the hospital to appraise and evaluate me for possible open-heart bypass surgery, which of course, I did not want.  I wanted to avoid that wherever possible.  Lucky I think for me, or at least it appeared to be lucky for me, my general practitioner, who I had a good relationship with, had a friend, an associate who was a cardiologist, and I’d been waiting for some time for the hospital on-call cardiologist to show up, several hours had gone by and he was still in surgery and couldn’t come by.  So, when my GP called me and offered me his friend, that was refreshing and within a short period of time this new cardiologist showed up.  His specialty was not open-heart surgery. His specialty was  putting stints in the artery, and most doctors will recommend your doing whatever their particular specialty is.  The new cardiologist showed up and after he did some tests, and we talked, he finally convinced me to go and have the procedure done, an angioplasty, at which time he would take a look-see and put stints in those narrowed areas of my three major arteries that were 98 percent blocked. 

 

So I had that procedure, the stints were inserted and seemed to be doing pretty well.  Just a few days later, I don’t know exactly how long, I was in my work environment and not feeling any detectable stress or any problems really, actually feeling very good, better than I had for a very long time.  Suddenly, I had a crushing, terrible, horrible chest pain that put me to my knees.  I was able to somehow drive and rushed myself to the emergency room (not a good idea) where they did all kinds of tests again, thinned my blood, went in and did another angioplasty procedure.  They woke me up during the procedure and told me that one of the stints that had been recently inserted had clogged up. There was a blood clot there and they didn’t know what else they could do except back out, give me a lot of blood thinners and hope for the best.  That’s what we did and, fortunately, several days in the hospital with massive blood thinners and all kinds of other medications, I was able to survive that and went forward. 

 

There I was, back out in the world, trying the E-Ticket-ride and doing all the things you’ve gotta do, which was very difficult.  I eventually came to a point where my doctors indicated I would need bypass surgery, and they actually scheduled it. Having your bypass surgery scheduled is a frightening realization of where you’re at in your life, and I took it very seriously. 

 

As usual, I got to do the research and what I wanted to research was an alternative.  The doctor told me my heart was damaged from the other two incidents with my “silent” heart attack and then my second massive attack from the clogged artery or what they thought was probably a blood clot.

 

Then, I’d had an attack when I was in Washington State of atrial fibrillation and had to be shocked by the electric paddles a couple of times to bring me back.  Then, about six months from the first atrial fibrillation incident, I had another one and had to be rushed to a hospital and have fibrillation shot from the electrical paddles. 

 

These two incidents led me to try and find some alternatives, even though I knew that in medicine today, anywhere in the world, nothing could bring back heart muscle.  If you lose heart muscle, depending upon the percentage of it, its functionality reduces dramatically. My heart function was down somewhere between 35 and 45 out of a possible 100(called an Ejection Fraction Test or EF).  That’s how much the left chamber of the heart, is putting out into your system, and it’s a gauge to tell how much heart damage there’s been.  Mine was functioning maybe as little as 30 percent and maybe as much as 70.  Either way, once you lose heart muscle, mankind does not know how to replace it and there’s no way to do it. 

 

But I still didn’t want to go through major open-heart surgery and take those risks and those chances; it’s very expensive and I didn’t have any insurance, so I’d just gotten through an unbelievable experience with my son contracting squamous cell carcinoma that kept our undivided attention with him for over a year.  So I was really in bad shape and in no mood. I just didn’t want to do it and was looking for alternatives on the Internet. I researched everything I could, followed every lead for any possible alternatives to open-heart surgery, and there just weren’t any. 

 

Then, accidentally one day, I stumbled onto adult stem cells.  I’d already researched the embryonic stem cells, and that was so far away, there weren’t any clinical trials going on that I could find.  So at best it would be two, five, maybe ten years away, and with the controversy over embryonic stem cells still a hot topic, the future of that happening in time to help me was pretty dim.  So when I finally found the adult stem cell information I was excited. This was cutting edge and had just recently been developed? Every adult already has stem cells in their system we just don’t have enough of them to deal with catastrophic injuries like damaged heart muscle. 

 

When you have a small trauma like say a laceration on your finger, these white and red cells go to that site, the white ones are there to fight and protect against infection and keeping it from getting into your bodies closed protective system. The adult stem cells actually do the healing, that heals that cut on your finger.  But the average adult doesn’t have a lot of adult stem cells circulating in their blood.  Kids, babies, young people have more than adults, because as we age, we seem to lose adult stem cells. 

 

The miracle of adult stem cells is that they can go to anywhere in your body, as in my case to my heart, or they can go to your kidneys or pancreas, or whatever organ, even brain tissue, and become that particular kind of cell – your heart cell, your kidney cell, your brain cell, and will actually repair whatever the damage.  So in my case, if I had enough adult stem cells, theoretically, they would have already gone to my heart and repaired it – would have built new arteries, cleaned out the congested or clogged arteries that I have.  But I didn’t have enough, and most people don’t.  When I discovered the alternative, the adult stem cell treatment that I found was available in Bangkok, where they would draw your blood that showed it had some adult stem cells in it; they would send it to a special laboratory in Israel that has an exclusive, patented process that “jazzes up” the adult stem cells, if you will, and turns the few that’s in your blood sample into millions of adult stem cells.  They then take that and through a catheter inserted through your femoral artery to the inside walls of your heart. They know through tests where the damage in your heart is located, and they inject your own adult stem cells into your heart where the damage is.  The cells then transform into heart muscle and they actually rejuvenate and grow heart muscle. 

 

For the first time ever in the history of mankind’s knowledge this was now possible - there are actually people in the world doing it, not in the United States, but in Bangkok and elsewhere.

After having researched that and spoke with the doctors and the hospital, I was actually scheduled to go have that treatment.  It was for me an alternative at that time to open-heart surgery, and I was just thrilled to have found it.  I had my fingers crossed, and my whole family was praying that it would actually work. 

 

One of the amazing things about adult stem cells is that because they’re your own stem cells, you have no rejection problem like you do when, for example, you get someone else’s heart in a heart transplant operation or even putting in a mechanical, manmade heart.  In both cases, there are massive rejection problems. They have to give you lots of different kinds of anti-rejection medications, and it’s a very dangerous procedure.  Most people don’t last very long in either case. I found that there is work going on to grow heart valves and even whole hearts.

 

Then, while spending a week at one of my favorite places in the world, Stevenswood resort & Spa in Mendocino, California, www.stevenswood.com I was out hiking with the boys and my wife, Peggy, I felt some distress in my chest.  I thought I had pulled a muscle and had the rest of the week to work it out.  Well, it ended up that I couldn’t drive home; I had to lie in the back of the SUV.  I wasn’t in serious pain, just some discomfort, but not so much that I thought I was having a heart attack.  When we got home, my wife insisted I see a doctor, and I wasn’t in his office more than a short time before the paramedics came and rushed me off to the hospital.

So I had that procedure, the stints were inserted and seemed to be doing pretty well.  Just a few days later, I don’t know exactly how long, I was in court and not feeling any pressure or any problems, actually feeling very good, better than I had for a very long time.  Suddenly, I had a crushing, terrible, horrible chest pain that put me to my knees.  I was able to somehow drive and rushed myself to the emergency room ( not a good idea) where they did all kinds of tests again, thinned my blood, went in and did another angioplasty procedure.  They woke me up during the procedure and told me that one of the stints that had been recently inserted had clogged up.

One of the amazing things about adult stem cells is that because they’re your own stem cells, you have no rejection problem like you do when, for example, you get someone else’s heart in a heart transplant operation or even putting in a mechanical, manmade heart.  In both cases, there are massive rejection problems. They have to give you lots of different kinds of anti-rejection medications, and it’s a very dangerous procedure.  Most people don’t last very long in either case.

 

A team of scientists led by Sir Magdi Yacoub, a world famous heart surgeon based at Imperial College London, have used adult human stem cells to grow tissue that acts like a heart valve.

The next stage will be to attempt to grow a complete heart, a goal that until a few years ago was the stuff of science fiction.

 

So, the idea of the adult stem cell procedure in Bangkok  seemed just fantastic for me.

 

While I’m scheduled to do that, I’m still researching and happen to run into a company on the web that is producing an adult stem cell capsule which actually wakes up your adult stem cells and puts them into your system.  It’s just a capsule!  It’s been approved by the FDA.  And, it’s in a town just down the road from me.  So, I jumped in the car and went down to meet these people.  It’s called StemTech and the product is StemEnhance. 

 

www.ABCDE.stemtechhealth.com

 

StemTech scientists had very recently discovered a process and patented the ingredients and called it StemEnhance.  In this process all you have to do is take these capsules, and they go into your system.

 

In your bone marrow lies your adult stem cells.  They lie dormant in there, and your blood just draws a few of them out and they circulate in your system.  But when you take this product (Stem Enhance), they draw those adult stem cells from your own bone marrow, put them into your system and they, like little soldiers, go throughout your entire circulatory system. 

 

This capsule has the ability to not only draw stem cells out of your bone marrow, but to have your heart or your pancreas or any damaged organ or brain cell or anything in your body, actually, to send out a signal as they are passing by in the blood, saying in essence “Hey, come over here.  I’ve got damage here in my heart, and I need your attention here.”  So they go to the area in the heart that’s damaged, they embed themselves, and they then miraculously turn into heart muscle cells.  They actually rejuvenate and create new heart muscle, repair your heart to a point where your heart is as good as ever and in many cases, may be better than ever. 

 

The same is also true for diabetics - it will go to the pancreas, and become new pancreas cells and let the pancreas revive itself.  Its also believed very effective for spinal injuries, Parkinsons’ disease, the liver, other organs, brain cells, and the list just goes on and on. 

 

This is the future of tomorrow in medicine – but it’s here today!  Remember, I was already scheduled for open-heart surgery, and hadn’t actually cancelled it yet and was scheduled for the alternative adult stem cell injections through the catheter into my heart. And now because of stemEnhance I’m postponing the Bangkok treatment as well and actually canceling the open heart surgery as a result of taking the stemenhancer.

 

When I tried the adult stem cell enhancer the first day I took two capsules.  The only thing I noticed was I had a little more energy, and I felt a little better.  Actually in the last few days and weeks before I went to the emergency room and after I got out of the hospital for my atrial fibrillation episodes and my heart attacks, I was laying flat in bed and the only time I got up was to go to the bathroom.  My toilet was only about 30 feet from my bed and because I also have prostate problems, I have to interrupt my sleep every night several times to go to the bathroom.  Every time I’d have to get up and go those 30 feet, by the time I’d get back to bed, I’d have chest pain, pain in my left arm and shortness of breath.  These are all terrible signs of a failing heart, and if you have them, you’ve probably got some serious problems.

 

So after only three days of taking adult stem cells, my wife and I went to the mall (which is a pretty good-sized mall), and I did four laps around the mall, which is equivalent to about two miles.  I was able to go up to the food terrace using the stairs, not the escalator (we went up there twice), and I had no chest pain, I had no arm pain nor any shortness of breath. 

 

I’ve been on the adult stem cell enhancers ever since.  I now take three capsules, four times a day.  I walk all over the place, go up and down stairs I go to meetings where often I have to stand for long periods – I’m very, very active.  I have no chest pain, no pain in my left arm and I have no shortness of breath.  I feel strong as an ox, people are telling me I look really good, I’m feeling really good, and it’s just amazing!

 

I now have official confirmation as of April 2007. May 2006 my Echocardiogram ejection fraction was estimated at 35-45%. Today my EF is estimated at 48-50%. Which is unheard of according to the experts I have spoken with? The EF shows how much blood your heart is pumping into the system. It is expected to get worse not better with time because heart decease is progressive. So usually the best one can hope for is for your EF to remain the same. Now remember the May 2006 test was just after my first atrial fibrillation episode and I had another episode in Oct 2006, at which time I did not have a test for my EF. I could feel it had worsened so my EF may have gone even lower. But now after only about two weeks or so taking StemHance my reading is much better and has actually gone up.

 

So this is my amazing, miracle stem cell story that is practically unbelievable. Its really helped me, and I believe it can help a lot of others. 

 

My wife, my mother and many other relatives and friends have wonderful experiences from taking StemEnhance. Try it for yourself is all I can say.  I do recommend it.   I recommend it strongly, and it is a miracle to me.  If everyone who sees this sends it to 10 people, you could help make a life better. Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends and love ones you care about.
