is there alternative besides surgery for carotid artery?

[rexeugene]

Is there any product that would help elemanate the plack buildup in my carotid artery?

[respirate]

A blood thinner called dabigatran etexilate could be effective in preventing clots instead of warfarin. in Canada it's called Pradax and in Europe it's called Pradaxa, It's not yet approved in the  U.S.
The study, was published  by the New England Journal of Medicine, and the American Heart Association.

can we quit trying to prove that we know more than someone else does?

I come here for information. Not to see egos being stroked.

Can we just let someone post, and if we ask for references and what they give doesn't satisfy us, let that be a personal problem and not something that is beaten into the ground.

I hope that most people here, do as I do. When I read something someone posts, I verify it for my own personal knowledge.

.ya'll are getting on my nerves...I'm just sayin

You say

''Finally, the subject is physiology, not biology.  Just sayin'.

I will know explain to you how it works since it might be useful for other people too.

When we say arteries, it is physiology. When we talk about oxygenation, low-density lipoproteins, sterol regulatory element binding protein, enzyme HMG-CoA reductase inhibition, blood-cell deformability, coagulation etc it is biology and medicine like i stated.

Physiology is an integral part of biology in human biology and biology itself by the way Pax. In human Biology 111 it's almost everything about physiology.

You say

'' It's why I suggested he or she see an expert, because what we still don't know is how blocked the artery is, and it's a very important artery.''

I already talked about this issue and it is crystal clear that he saw an expert to know that the artery is blocked and he is here to know if there are any alternative that might HELP along with his traditional treatment and i already told him what i think about this and if his doctor offered surgery that he should go for it.

You know it happened do me and i didn't like it and i got warned and i learned from that experience and since then i have no problems and this is why I am sharing it with respirate. All i want here is that the forum runs smoothly in a good ambiance without violating any Terms of Uses, that's all.

Oh and about piracetam i encourage you to read more about and you will eventually see that it is a anti-coagulation nootropic drug. The links i provided here are not all te ones i checked out but but only the most respectable websites around. It is under investigation to be co-administered with Warfarin or as an alternative to Warfarin. Anyway Pax, it doesn't take a P.h.D in medicine to know that what increases blood flow and oxygenation will most likely be an anti-coagulation agent. Whatever what should happen is the surgery and then his doctor will probably put him on Statin. But he did want to know if there were also alternative to HELP, not to replace traditional treatments. Therefore it why in the first place i talked about piracetam and lifestyle changes such as diet and physical exercise.

The DHA comment was meant for respirate's post.  I combine in my posts what's relevant to the thread to aid the person posting, not for the benefit of those replying.  As to your links, I went to them all, and they didn't prove anything, but I researched further to actual researchers and discovered that the drug was never able to get approval from FDA because it never proved it did anything for anything.  Ever since, the manufacturer has been trying to find a disease its drug can treat.  Maybe one day it'll succeed.  If you wish to take it, I'm fine with that.  But it won't solve the problem of the poster, and that's all I'm trying to deal with here.  The other point about citing sources is that you keep going after one person on here for things you didn't like people doing to you, and all I'm trying to do is clarify what the concerns are.  As to websites being free for anyone to copy, as one responder noted, that's not true.  Books are available for anyone to copy, too, but it violates copyright.  Not all websites are copyrighted, but people have gotten into trouble on this site for copying material and I'm just trying to protect everyone so it doesn't happen to them.  Anyone can comment on anything in their own words without violating copyrights, and then can include a link to that site for the full source quotation.  That keeps MedHelp from coming after any of us, which is all I'm trying to prevent.  Finally, as this forum has no official leader, none of us should be telling others what they can and can't do.  If nobody had done that, I wouldn't have commented about it.  MedHelp has proven quite capable of policing itself.  There was also a comment about chelation -- that might be an option for the poster.  It's why I suggested he or she see an expert, because what we still don't know is how blocked the artery is, and it's a very important artery.  Finally, the subject is physiology, not biology.  Just sayin'.
