Is lad artery s graft enough to live long?

High homocysteine levels are treated with prescription strength folate 1 mg as well as B6 and B12. (web search) And perhaps no "scientific study" proved it was beneficial for the heart, but the only study that was long term that followed peoples lifestyle was the Framingham study started in 1948 and is still ongoing. It has people record their lifestyle and diet - it looks at observational data, rather than a control subject and study subject. It would be inhumane to put a person through a vitamin deficiency it would kill them. Most Docs don't like observational studies therefore dismiss the evidence they provide. Homocysteine level are a recent discovery so long term observation hasn't been done. Beside who can make money off of vitamins? Not the drug companies. Keep cholesterol down, blood pressure normal, eat healthy. Some Docs use prescription strength Niacin or commonly known as B3 to lower cholesterol, but not too many. To offer the other side of the coin - some Docs have totally rejected big pharmaceuticals and will try vigorous nutrition Dr (Mercola on the web) to heal. He has office and will do numerous studies of blood to determine your health.
