[QUOTE=jimbo2012;504071]Gracie, do you really think anyone would do that without consulting a Dr.?
Unfortunately, yes. Having been in health care for 40 years I've seen too many times "desperation" move people in a dangerous direction - people buy medications off the internet, go to other countries for unproven/untested treatment and fear of a surgery could make someone postpone it in hopes of another course of action working for them.
Hopefully, the individual in question was being monitored closely by his MD during his dietary approach to ensure the 80% blockage didn't progress to 100%. Research in diet and nutrition is bringing us good information that we should pay attention to; but let's not dismiss the life-saving treatments - drugs and procedures - that have also been the result of research and proven to save lives and improve quality of life.
