It's one thing to say that you can take foxgloves for heart problems but it's another thing entirely to make it work. The toxic dose of digitalis is so close to the therapeutic dosage that you don't want to make a mistake and natural drugs, again, are not consistent. In the old days, they had to titrate a heart patient on digitalis. I guess I could try that out but I'm thinking I'm not going to have that much time to play around with dosages.
I ask my doctor what i would do if I ever found myself without my medications and I've yet to get an answer from him.
I think I'm going to hope that I can taper off the blood pressure meds and hope that my heart has improved to the point that I can make another 20 years or so before I drop dead of a massage coronary.......
