Sanders had heart attack, doctors confirm as he released
2019-10-05
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Doctors confirmed on Friday that US Senator Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
suffered a heart attack three days ago, as they announced that he had been released from hospital in Las Vegas.

Sanders, 78, said he felt "great", according to a statement from his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

"Senator Sanders was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction," his doctors said in the statement, using the medical term for heart attack.

"Two stents were placed in a blocked coronary artery in a timely fashion. All other arteries were normal.

"His hospital course was uneventful with good expected progress."

Sanders put his bid for the White House on hold after experiencing chest discomfort while on the stump in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Sanders is the oldest candidate vying to take on President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, 73, and is third in the Democratic nominee polls behind Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
, 76, and Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
, 70.

Sanders’ health has generally been good and it has been Biden who has had to bat away questions about his stamina and mental sharpness.

In March, Sanders gashed his head on a shower door and had seven stitches, but quickly returned to the campaign trail.

#12   the main / basic ingredient is goji berries / wolfberries as well as pomegranate juice

Interesting. I wonder if gin & pomegranate juice would be good for you, what with all the antioxidant stuff and some ethanol as a solvent.

#11  I'm using something called Ningxia Red; the main / basic ingredient is goji berries / wolfberries as well as pomegranate juice, whose attributes include, among others, being a massive antioxidant. It contains a lot of other minerals and is an additional source of protein.

I go through this company called Young Living, but you can probably find something like it at the hippy health food store. I found goji berry extract at the Asian food market here in Quincy, so I have that as well.

Basically I drank 4 oz's of this stuff for two months (the recommendation is three) in order to insure you just clear everything out, then you can reduce it from there, as I cut my daily intake in half.

#10  Used to wear gloves in the spring while riding the tractor because BP meds opened my capillaries and made my hands cold

#8  Thanks so much for the glimpse of what I probably have to look forward to.

There are things out there that remove / dissolve blockages in the arteries. I've been taking one of them for a year now and I've even noticed the improved circulation in my feet, which has always been a bad area for me, as my feet used to be the first thing to get really cold when I'm skiing (no more) and when I ride my bike. My feet did not get cold when I did a one hour ride in early spring (temp. was about 55 degrees); before that it would be a sure thing after 40 minutes.
