To me this sounds VERY risky. My husband had ONE artery at the back of the heart that had a 70% blockage in a SMALL section and he had a heart attack one month ago. First of all I would see your physician but secondly and most importantly do a complete radical diet change and add exercise. I'm no authority but I have researched this allot. We already have a good diet, low in salt, bad fats and we walk everyday. The doctors said if we DIDN'T his heart attack may have been fatal.
