NAES, that's so kind of you, thanks.  Your prayers and that of your group would be welcome, I'm sure.

And thanks, our boy is doing well.  Right now he's lounging and watching "Harvey" with us, but he spent part of the afternoon meticulously washing and waxing and fussing over his Dad's car...

Pulmonary embolism can benefit from a plant-based diet,

just like a heart attack/stroke.

My husband's rheumatologist, a man from India on a vegetarian diet, just had a heart attack.

There are other factors in heart attack besides the diet.  Having worked in CCU a lot, a good diet is always beneficial, but doesn't always prevent heart attack.

Vegetarian?   That's not plant-based.

Traditional Indian diets are filled with ghee, yogurt...lots & lots of dairy & eggs.  Sanjay Gupta saved a lot of lives by doing this documentary about plant-based diet for heart health.  It IS all about the food.

Low fat whole foods plant based to be exact.

It's about genes also

Diet plays a huge role but it's the genes too

I'm not familiar with this kind of pulmonary problem that Erickson has.  I wonder why the massive clotting would initially present as a stroke, which is what they first treated him for.  And Is the swelling of the chest cavity a sign that the clots are "massing" again?  It sounds like an awful thing to contend with...

       @Oznell,

          I am convinced that Mr. Erickson is and has been on the most of any break through medications, the most recent developed, latest, the tautest /best blood thinners and is monitored (maybe) daily, if not weekly. MRIs.

The traveling mass of clots would have to BREAK loose. 'A' clot can be causing a thrombus ( not moving) to an embolism....* (traveling) >> to the brain from any area / {being loose} from the lungs.

           Why? He is still alive?

                                                          'I can not start surmise.

I would come to believe he has the best of all [OF] any Medical care'

  Once a thrombus breaks from the wall(s), then travels, there is where the death potential lies.  Usually a general description when a stroke does happen. Also, not every stroke is as severe as another..as in TIAs.

 I have seen some incredible MIRACLES, though.

Does not matter.

There are risk factors for heart attack WE CANNOT CONTROL. 

So unless you want to challenge my credentials for saying this, I stand by it.  Diet is not everything.

".....a good diet is always beneficial..."

Then the onus is on the patient to determine how beneficial.

It's either....

'kinda' good,

'really' good, or

'I'm going to do anything possible to live' good. 

It's still a choice.

"Genetics loads the gun; Diet pulls the trigger."

"If you've been dealt a bad genetic deck, 

you can still reshuffle it with diet."

I was closing off when I scattered the ones I had remembered, then saw Harvey!

My husband said that movie has deep undertones with extreme understanding!

I am sorry that I was absent when you replied back. 

   Today has been ( possibly) the longest I had remembered being on throughout the day...back & forth......

   Just a day off that I guaranteed myself to catch up!

 Hopefully, if God's will, I will be seeing you again.

Oh, I do have another ( among ) several that I know in need of prayer.

 There is @Tissyanne. Her mother is having hip health situations​ that Tissyanne is helping- devoting tremendously while taking care of her family. 

Her mother is 83, if I am remembering correctly.

Prayers for Tissyanne, NAES, doing such important work.

@sidsmom

The author also talks about environmental toxins being a factor.  

You might read her blog.  Her diet recommendations are quite different from yours.

Diet may not be everything but if you already have other risk factors, why would you not follow the best diet to try and prevent what you can?

I agree, I have a relative who has managed to stop reoccuring cancer by using diet.  It's amazing.     By the way, if you're on facebook check out Chris beat cancer.  Young Memphis man who stopped colon cancer with diet changes.  His site has numerous people with all types who cured cancer some stage 4 without conventional medicine.
