This past Sunday I died... twice. Would you like to hear about it?

Let me start off by giving you a brief back story. I am 48 years old. Active. I still work private security and raise my livestock. When I was 34 I had a heart attack. I had ignored high blood pressure and probably drank a little too hard as a young soldier. It left me with a cardiomyopathy. At 34 they put a dual purpose ICD in my chest. Defibrillator/ pacer assist. My ejection fraction is 15% but I dont feel it most of the time. When I get sick it always affects my heart but other then that I live a normal life.

So on Sunday I was a little sick. Had a virus and was horribly dehydrated. I am staying away from my home at the moment to work and complete some classes. I stay with a friend that I have known since school. I felt ok but a little run down. Was setting on the couch watching a movie. My friend was also here.

At one point I felt strange. My heart fluttered and I felt my pacer kick in. Then out of nowhere my defib hit me with the high voltage. I knew what was happening and rolled off the couch o to my hands and knees. I remember most of this. I knew the moment I was dying. I am not afraid of death. I have come to terms with it during early deployments. But I remember at that moment being afraid. Not of the pain or death. But I felt bad leaving my kids. I have stuff I still want to see and accomplish. I was upset because I knew my wife would be heart broken. I remember seeing the irony in dying like this after everything I had lived through and asked God to help me pull through this attack. I just didnt want to die right then and there.

Here is where it gets weird. I do have faith. Never been big on supernatural so bare with me. I remember fading out. Like going to sleep on anesthesia. Then I woke up. My friend was over me calling 911. The dog was taking advantage of the situation and licking me right on my damn teeth haha. But I came to. I sat up and saw that I had rolled around pushed a couch across the room. I asked my friend what happened after I went to my knees and she told me I was being shocked again. So the defibrillator worked. It revived me. But I sat up and started watching the movie again. I remember the entire scene that occurred during the time my heart stopped and I was on the ground. I remember watching myself lay on the ground. I was able to repeat the entire dialogue of the movie that was on through my flatline. We even pulled the movie up on demand to see if I was right. I was right word for word.

I didnt see a light. But i was comforted. I hit a place where i seemed to be ok with the idea of moving on and it seemed like subconsciously i was fully aware of every second of this ordeal. To sum it up the doc said it was due to me being sick and dehydrated. My electrolytes were off and it hit my heart. They kept me over night and read the history of my device. I died twice. I was flatlined for about 30 seconds between the 2 shocks.

isn't this like the 3rd GLP'er having a heart attack this week?

Heart attack gun?

More like zeroing in on IP addresses and hitting folks with Direct energy weaponry on a low setting?
Like leaving a blow dryer on a spot all day.

glad you're cool man.. rest up...

had something similar somewhere last month?
after multiple shoulder ops? the sent me home... few weeks later, it was bleeding like a bitch through covers....

long story short, the metal work in my shoulder got golden staff... and after surgery? nothing for pain was working.. even the morph.....

they put in a pic line to my heart through my bicep... i was in for three months... i'm still at home as infectious.....

story is..i died that night before the morph... i remember nothing....

have to go see the surgeon tomorrow as they want the metal work out asap....

i don't care.. the pain sucks... and so do all these super antibiotics.... they are a stomach killer...


anyhoos... back to topic...

again? glad you are fine... i was surprised you have some sort of inbuilt defib...... cool!

Hard earned info...

Start taking large amounts of vitamin C from several different sources... Fruit, fruit juices, Rico's c lozenge, buffered C tablets(with rose hips for stomach), now couple that with multiple sources of calcium... Only calcium, not calcium magnesium combo... This is imperative... Yogurt with fruit, lasagna, cottage cheese, cheeses, milk... Especially half and half... We're talking healing here, not cutting calories. Add to this diet high in calcium and vitamin c, herbal tea... Brew and drink at least 2 glasses of dandelion tea per day, more if you can... We combined it with juices to make a kind of Snapple... Like cranberry, apple or grape... As much fresh fruit and calcium as u can stand... This regime helped same my step sons life and leg... Lost 40 pounds in 40 days, went septic, multiple surgeries, several back to back...
Most of all, get sold of a product called bio K... Go to their site... It can be prescribed by a doctor... It will heal your gut...
Top it off with Redmond salt.. See their site at real-salt dottt commmm... Will balance your electrolytes, promise.
