Hi Alex
I spent several years on a pension suffering with inoperable blockages to my arteries. Something about the locations made it too dangerous to stent or bypass apparently. Eventually I was able to have a triple bypass and all is fine now.
My symptoms ranged from acute angina to massive fatigue to palpitations. I had to wear a patch plus use the spray often but they were diminishing in effectiveness.
Sorry for the long setup but I did find a solution.
Whenever the symptoms hit I would stop, totally relax my body - using slow gentle movements akin to the Feldenkrais method , look up (NLP eye patterns), deliberately smile, while going to my happy relaxed place in my mind and MOST IMPORTANTLY - control my breathing by doing reasonably full breaths with the out breath being two to three times longer than the in breath.
This worked WAY better than any of the medication for me. Apparently when you breath out it kicks in the parasympathetic nervous system.
The Feldenkrais type movements consisted of gently rotating my torso right and left in a spiral type motion. Aiming to get flexion through the torso. Slow gentle movements always relax muscles. Important to get the skeleton fully involved. I think though the breathing was the main component.
If you would like any more info please feel free to contact me. FYI I am an NLP Master Trainer and a Feldenkrais Practitioner.
I also developed a simple system for relieving pain without drugs if anyone is interested.
Sorry for the long post. I hope you find this useful.
All the best.
Peter

Hi, Alex!
I am using/following along with the FOCC with my husband, since January 2020. He has cancer; to my knowledge, I do not. I am definitely post menopausal.?
I will share my experience with palpitations, and what I do for them.?
I had had palpitations before FOCC, and used hawthorn berry capsules to great effect. I don't recall when or why, but at some point early 2021 (best guess) I dropped them out, and forgot about it. (It's also possible it happened late last summer, when I got the virus. Was off FOCC for maybe 2-3 weeks, and most other supplements during that time. Memory not so reliable since.) Until the palpitations started again.?
I am back on hawthorn berry capsules. I do have homemade tincture on hand as well. (I keep it on hand should I run out of capsules.) Since it is a herb, there shouldn't interfere with the FOCC. I take 3 capsules per day.?
Hope this helps!
Frances

Have a look on the ValAsta page on Facebook & the ValAsta testimonies page but keep the Budwig mix & ValAsta a couple of hours apart if you decide to try your mum on it.

My mom has that dry cough more often now and she is quite aware of it.
I noticed that my mom¡¯s face is looking ¡°dark¡±, not her normal color.
This evening I met a mutual friend who has stage 4 lung cancer and taking chemo drugs. She explained that her skin has darkened from the drug. Incidentally this is year three after her stage 4 diagnosis.
she was drinking wine and eating normal(meat and sweets). And she has not gained or lose weight in three years.
could it be that the protocol is working? Hence my mom is looking ¡°worse ¡° and coughing more? Her energy level is down now, she would doze off after I massage her back in the morning instead of chatting with me.
After the Feb thoracenteses, the x ray in March showed expanded lung and a moderate/small fluid. Both the pulmonologist and PCP were excited. You would think with the excess fluid gone, she has room to eat more. But she does not have the appetite to eat and continues to weigh 114. While you may think that is normal BMI, my mom has never been at this weight and there is excess skin on her back and neck. It breaks my heart seeing that.

Dear Group,
A few months back when I restarted the protocol after many years, I began with store bought organic cottage cheese with flax oil that was pressed about a year before.? I couldn't find fresh oil.?
I now make my own kefir cheese and I found a farmer not too far from me that pressess his own flax.? I get it a few days after the pressing so the oil is fresher than any store bought oil.
I found with the store bought organic cottage cheese, I was experiencing heart palpitations.? It went away after I began using my own kefir cheese.? However, the heart palpitations are back.
Anyone ever experience heart palpiations while on Budwig?? If so, how did you remedy the symptom?
Thanks
Alex.

Nut butter isn't butter. By nut butter I mean a spread made from nuts to put on bread. I eat peanut butter often, even though it isn't exactly BP approved.

She follow closely¡except no other cheese, no honey or wine.
She does not like herbs, except twice a week I make curry. She dies green juice before lunch and drink her carrot/beet apple juice in the afternoon.
She drinks about 8oz of green juice( either dandelion or watercress) and 12 oz of beet per day.
We add about 2 whole walnut ( crushed into small bits) and thawed frozen raspberry and blueberries to the FOCC.
She has sauerkraut juice before breakfast, then green tea with FOCC.
I give her a lemon water( full or half lemon) to sip,with her lunch salad. The dressing is home made using dried herbs, garlic ?and cashew cream. Just to add calories. ?

She is at 5"3 and 86.
I calculated her calories and it's only 1700 a day and best?
She has been eating salads for lunch, and I am going to add a slice of the sprouted bread or cooked garbanzo bean pasta.
She weighed in at 120 last November when she was hospitalized and kept losing weight to 116.? After her thoracentesis in Feb she immediately lost another 2 lbs. But maintained the same weight since.
Blood work showed her anemic and elevated tumor marker. Which the oncologist said it means nothing when they were within normal range for the last four years. So I am ignoring the results.
I just felt like if she can consume more good calories, it will allow the body to fight better?

Hi Tony: This is really good information to have. I do notice that my mom has a bit of a running nose (but it was not anything that she can blow her nose to clear (
I will get her the saline and follow your instructions.

When I've done the gargling etc.? I will sometimes spend time

I've been advised by a Medic to smear Vaseline inside my nose , to
reduce transfering infections such as staph.
Good luck and good health to your mom.

She had a thoracentesis a month ago and yesterday the X ray showed

and 11/4).
While she is now very thin (barely 115lbs) her pulmonary doctor
also remarked that she kept her weight steady. Which is
encouraging.
I believe the protocol is taking hold and remain optimistic.?
Along with her Chi Kong exercise, it helps to improve her lungs.
She is now eating about 4 TBsp of FOCC (2TB oil) twice a day now.
But I noticed she is sounding raspy and coughing more (it's a dry
cough). I am wondering if the apoptosis is causing the dry cough??
she did not cough much in the prior months but it is more frequent
nowadays.
Any input/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
