@BOOSBUBBA My mum had a heart attack in Dec, started to have pain at the start of Jan in lower right leg, had angiogram in jan (did not look at her leg despite compaints), in late jan, our local GP/doctor said my mother had neuropathy despite (high blood pressure, 35 plus years of diabetes, high chrolosteral, serve heart disease)..he made totally the wrong diagnosis, he did not order a ABI test, no ultrasound of the artery, he stuck to this for 7 weeks until my mother was in agony.....

wow this doctor has a very good grasp of PAD. My symtoms are exactly what he explained in this educational video . Pay close attention to what he has to say. I am experiencing every symtom he talked about. Iam a diabetic smoker and plan now more than ever to vow to stop smoking and be more addiment on changing my life style. After my surgery i will follow the step by step advice he has given to prolong my life. My wife and family deserve nothing less.

hi it's poignant to see one for body versus staring just at one of its branches okay or not like trees and forest beyond theory. re 'other toxins' mercury could be also since it's said elsewhere such occurrences're common w/ that, & it may be exacerbated if not out perhaps as unstopped smoke. organs can be inflamed in adominal sprawled pressures even w/o or if weight's tapered. omega3 ie flax of soaked mix can break stack vs just sacking cholestrol's picture in function repercussion/gentle loop

PAD, like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes are side effects of insulin and inflammation. High cholesterol has never been a risk factor. Poor lecture which just blurs the actual cause. Please read Good calories, bad calories by Gary Taubes for a wealth of information on the subject.

Good lecture. Is there any direct correlation to cardiovascular disease. If so, is there any information regarding L-Arginine or nitric-oxide therapy for PAD.
