[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1828943, member: 41816"] Hi, I recently did some reading on atherosclerosis (which is the calcification of arteries) fora a relative. Atherosclerosis would be a cause of claudation. Almost everything I read seemed to be saying that once diagnosed the trick is to stop it getting worse, rather than expecting it to get significantly better. Two things gave a bit more hope. I won't go into detail, because they are both fairly non-conventional, so you would need to do the research and reading yourself and make up your own mind. The first is a couple of studies done with high oxidant pure pomegranate juice [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15158307[/URL] There was a study for a year, with a smaller followup 3 year study The second is Vitamin K2 [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26176325[/URL] elsewhere I have seen some youtube vids suggesting that there are ongoing studies to discover whether larger doses of K2 over longer periods will reduce existing atheroslerosis [MEDIA=youtube]DTspHSbuxQU[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]7R5S22DEuJg[/MEDIA] There are, of course, plenty of other theories and more conventional suggestions out there, and I don't want to imply that either of the suggestions above should substitute for conventional methods, as suggested by your health team.
