Please if you can help. I posted this before. Any information you could give me about a new treatment for cardiomyopathy  would be GREATLY appreciated. My request was as follows:
I have a friend whose diagnosis is cariomyopathy. I think the # is called a
ejection rate (?). His is 12 now.  Last year his ejection rate was around 20. He is 44 years old. We recently heard of a new treatment. It seems the drug (herb) Mark McGuire was taking during his home run hitting streak has somewhat of a positive effect on cariomyopathy if taken intravenously. Can you tell us anything else about this treatment? Thank you very much for your time.

There was just an item on the news yesterday that the Andro stuff can CAUSE heart problems.  These things are sold as food supplements and none of them has been thoroughly tested for safety or effectiveness.  With your friends health probelms he should be following his doctor's advice.  I am in a similar position and my doctor has told me not to take ANYTHING without a prescription.  These thing can be dangerous.
