Taking 10 g vitamin C and lysine after bypass surgery

Taken independently, this label advice makes some sense, but it turns
out that taking lysine with vitamin C makes the vitamin C MORE bioavailable. The amino acid chelates the C, making it more absorbable. Tower customers have reported for years that after some trial and error, they find the best results (least gas and stomach discomfort) from taking the Tower product 30 minutes prior to meals.

10 g of lysine probably won't hurt you, however, that is about double Pauling's therapeutic dosage, and we have seen cases where 2500 mg lysine cleared a 50% blockage in one month. So 10,000 my of lysine strikes me as high.

To my knowledge, not really. There is a technique which injects a dye
and takes x-rays, arteriography, but there really is no substitute for the angiogram pre mortem. Do you have any symptoms? What is your total cholesterol? There may be other ways to help you judge what is happening.

Did they use Veins for the bypass? You should probably read Dr. Levy's STOP AMERICA'S #1 KILLER livonbooks.com If I were you, I would cut down on the lysine, not take proline for at least 2 more months, have my Lp(a) checked, etc. Veins are weaker tissue, and nobody knows if if taking away the Lp(a) "plaster casts" is good for new bypass patients.

VItamin C makes sense - perhaps even double the amount you are taking, lysine probably, but I wouldn't start proline for awhile until the bypass graphs are strong.
