"Positive Reinforcement"
That is what a person needs from friends and loved ones and even strangers when they are recovering, not some warped "truth". I'm certain John's Mild Heart Attack was "truth" enough and I'd wager that his Physicians and other Health Care Professionals are giving him what ever "truth" he needs. Instead of "Positive Reinforcement" and any Positive Vibe of any sort, there are certain kinds of people who instead do just the opposite and we all know who that person is on here. Many, including I, have tried, time and again, to give this person the benefit of the doubt, but all they have done from the very beginning is disrupt the Harmony on RockPage. Things may seem "okay" for a little while, we can ignore them, but then WHAM, they take something like the wonderful news of someone's Positive recovery and inject their twisted "truth" into it, causing a bad Vibe. The fact we were all called Excrement over a tune they liked in another Thread, that alone should be grounds for Banning, but I didn't care, I figured "consider the source". The figurative disrupting of someone's Positive recovery? Yeah, that I care about, as do MANY more and I hope they haven't changed their minds.
the docs will do there job. stains, blood thinners and haff dozen other "truths". thank god for mediical science [and dings, right?]. you can half your cake and eat it too, right/ good luck all ye who enter these hallowed grounds. i hope he does well on all. i really do. the docs will do there job. nothing less, but sadly nothing more 

A local businessman had a heart attack early on in his life. He needed bypass surgery. This man does not eat meat or any kind of fatty foods at all . He probably has the most healthy diet of anyone I know. He is a runner, cyclist, and swims about 1 mile every day. (try it , that's a LOT of laps in the pool) He competes in local triathalons.
the point is he still had a heart attack at an early age (by medical stadards usually means before age 50 for men, 60 for women).
Even with the most healthy lifestyle this mans leads he still has a very high LDL (that's the bad cholesterol). That is why the number one prescribed medication in the US of A is a statin (NS try a dictionary for once) called Lipitor.
If a doctor tells a patient that he needs his cholesterol numbers down, the first thing reccomeded by the NCEP guidelines accepted by the National Heart and Blood Instuture is lifestyle changes (excercise, diet, quitting smoking). If a man has a LDL of say 160 (a not uncommon number for a middle aged man), if he does a complete life style change, becomes totally vegan....it will only lower the number by 5 to 10%. That will take it to 144. Now the doctor says the LDL needs to be under 70 according to the latest guideline reccomendations (for high risk patients based on risk factors like age, sex, diabetes, family history...).
Thank medical science that there are medicines like statins that will bring his LDL down to the level that will significantly lower his risk factors, dispite all the lifestyle changes that a patient can do. It IS called heridity.
Many medical conditions are heredity in nature. For example if a woman has a mother and an aunt say who had breast cancer, she has a 50% greater chance of developing breast cancer. It is sad, but a fact of life that we are products of our genes.
So you slimy skank, NS, leave your juvenile judgements to yourself. If you do really go out and support and enjoy local music like you say, you would never have accused the guitar player we are talking about if being guilty of eating to many 'dings.' As a matter of fact, he has been on the local access channel just recently with one of his bands, and he is anything but an overweight man. But you just had to blame someone you do not know. You just can't avoid the slimy gutter can you?

I agree Mike,
Our band, and friends and family of John are the most affected here.
Thanks to all who support John and our band. It's time for the bickering to end! Please stop everyone!
Thank you JP for monitoring things while Ron is inabscentia. (And for the
lock).
We all need to be more civil toward each other!

I wish him well, I really do. All I'm saying is the cause of heart condition is within your control in most cases. It's important for him and everyone else to realize this. Don't be so quick to shrug it all off on bad genes.
Do a little reading here:

Again, I wish him well soon

The link I posted is too great information including research studies of thousands.
That you won't even look at it says lots about your "judgement"/

actually I would read it all if I had time (really, I'm not kidding, I would). I am busy here at work doing and writing up the kind of research you are reading about. And, I really want to know, what is a ding? Not hip to your jargon...I feel dumb.That you won't even look at it says lots about your "judgement"/

"Baiting"? Nothing could be further from the truth. I made a statement and again, the Troll was true to form. Don't worry, I'm done and I'm back to doing my damnedest to ignore the Troll. When Ron gets back, I sincerely hope, as many others do, that the Troll is banned, as I'm sickened with it's disturbing, absolutely HORRIBLE EN_ER_GY. While it's true many of us don't always get along on here, we agree to disagree and can Peacefuly co-exist. Plus, we know one another - many of us have met in real life and have a lot of fun together! If we haven't met yet, many of us will, eventually. Whether regarding John or anyone else's Health and wishing them well, in my estimation, there should be no "buts" about it, EVER! Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Yeah!! That's it - I'm a Carnivore!!!! Thanks!!!!ToonaRockGuy wrote:CARNIVORE.
mmmmmm, now I'm hungry - I think a rare steak (with melted butter on top) is just the ticket for tonight.
