  1. You don’t. You get it unblocked, pronto. Failure to treat by conventional methods can cause death.

    And it depends on where the blockage is, what it is blocking, and how bad. A blockage in the legs might be treated with anti-cholesterol meds and anticoagulants like aspirin and coumadin.
    If the blockage is in the heart, surgery or a stent is in the patient’s immediate future.

    Buzzle.com has a good article on blocked arteries.
    And, do not under any circumstances, treat this yourself. It requires a doctor. If you fail to get treatment, or fail to follow the treatment, you could have a heart attack or a stroke, or severe circulation problems in your legs.. And do not follow any non doctor prescribed treatments. Home chelating treatments, liquid diets, enemas, and combinations of juices are not recommended. And if you are on any medications, do not ever drink grapefruit juice without consulting your pharmacist, or looking it up to see if that juice will cause a problem with your med.

    So if you have blocked arteries, doctor will find the cause, and treat it accordingly. He might put you on a low fat low sodium diet, to prevent further damage, and to prevent high blood pressure, bad when there are existing blockage problems.

    and trust me, when you start having angina pains due to a narrowing artery in your heart, or have your first little heart attack, you will be begging the surgeon to take you to surgery and relieve the pain. And if you have a stroke, you will wish you had had surgery. If you still have the mental status to think clearly.

    These days, stent surgery and bypass surgery is safer than it ever has been, the docs know lots of stuff they did not know 20 years ago. Even the diagnostic procedures are clearer. I saw film of a block artery years ago, grainy and blurry. Not anymore! I thought it was an animation, it was so clear! They even are moving away from working from the groin vessels to repair things. Great!

  2. It depends on the amount of blockage. If it’s completely blocked you need medical intervention.

    If it’s only partially blocked and if you have the "time", you can increase your water and salt intake, which will correct the dehydration that caused it in the first place. Once the dehydration is corrected, the body will dissolve the plaque and dispose of it.

    Dehydration causes the blood to become acidic. Acidic blood damages the lining of the artery walls. The so-called "bad" cholesterol is designed to cover and protect the damage like a waterproof bandage until the dehydration is corrected and the damage can be repaired.

    But because the medical profession doesn’t understand the role of water in the body, they don’t recognize dehydration as the cause of health problems. Ergo, the dehydration goes untreated, the acidic blood continues to damage the arteries and the need for cholesterol increases until it requires medical intervention.

  3. You can’t. Angioplasty or CABG. That’s it. Get over the fear of needles, life is full of them. I’ve had 9 angioplasties/angiograms. I’ve had an implanted defibrillator,and a few other operations. Countless IVs, blood tests, stitches and splints. The defibrillator operation is done while you are conscious. That was the worst. They shoved this Blood Pressure sensor in the artery of my arm. Yow! I still can feel it.

    By the way, I am a two gallon Red Cross blood donor. That’s 16 pints. Sixteen 3" needles.

    Time to grow up.
