=============================

My son was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome and a moderate/severe dilated aortic root 2 years ago.  He is 16 yrs. old and is currently on 25 mg bid of atenolol.  The atenolol is so the blood doesn't push so hard against the aorta as to make the wall weaker.  The dilation hasn't grown since he was first diagnosed and I don't know if that is because of the atenolol or just because and there probably is no way of knowing this.  My questions are......What is the atenolol doing to his system and is there something else that would do the same thing for him.  Should he be on any type of supplement because of the Marfan's and/or the dilated aorta?
 
Again I want you to know that answering the questions posed to me does not just come off the top of my head but come from 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with my ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes along with my many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped me along this path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... I also receive a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad and report them to you, which has increased my knowledge and I pass them on to you to use or not...

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity -when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

QUESTION:
 
My son was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome and a moderate/severe dilated aortic root 2 years ago.  He is 16 yrs. old and is currently on 25 mg bid of atenolol.  The atenolol is so the blood doesn't push so hard against the aorta as to make the wall weaker.  The dilation hasn't grown since he was first diagnosed and I don't know if that is because of the atenolol or just because and there probably is no way of knowing this.  My questions are......What is the atenolol doing to his system and is there something else that would do the same thing for him.  Should he be on any type of supplement because of the Marfan's and/or the dilated aorta?
 
Thanks,
Casey
 
ANSWER:
 
Bless his heart that has to be hard on him and you! Since Marfans is said to be a genetic problem I'm sure you've been told there is no treatment available only something to stop further damage or surgery later. Sadly that really isn't what is happening, even though medicine would have you to believe that.
 
For those reading Ask Lena Q & A an explanation is in order...
 
Marfan's syndrome is a genetically inherited connective tissue disease that appears in 4-6 of every 100,000 people. There is 50% incidence of transmittance to offspring, with no sex-linked characteristics. Marfan's syndrome causes deformations and defects in several body systems, most notably the ocular, skeletal, and cardiovascular. Diagnosis is based only upon clinical observation, with symptoms of two or more of the common conditions required for confirmation. Skeletal manifestations of Marfan's syndrome are the most obvious. Patients are tall and lanky, with long extremities. Scoliosis and joint hypermobility are common. There are also associated sternal and spinal deformities. Eye defects would include myopia and retinal detachment. These affect 70% of Marfan's patients. Marfan's syndrome may also cause attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, and verbal discrepancies through its effects on the CNS. The most significant effects are those on the cardiovascular system, seen in 98% of Marfan's patients. The pathology includes mitral valve prolapse, endocarditis, dysrhythmias, dilatation of the mitral annulus, mitral regurgitation, tricuspid valve prolapse, aortic regurgitation, aortic dissection, and dilatation of the aortic root. It is named after Antoine Marfan, the French pediatrician who first described it in 1899.

What conventional medicine is doing is slowing up the flow of blood and heart. Result of that treatment; setting him up for heart surgery or stents in the near future... But that is not all atenolol (generic Tenormin) does... Atenolol is a beta blocker, meaning it blocks part of the body from working as God intended it to work. When any part of the body is shut down it has unwanted side effects over the long haul and at his age will severely shorten his life... Atenolol blocks the sympathetic nervous system and involuntary nervous system that is necessary in monitoring the rest of the body's organs! When this is interfered with the organs go into confusion and sooner or later one or more will stop functioning... The body is being robbed of a multitude of nutrients with beta blockers simply by blocking absorption... Why can't they get it right? Big Pharma couldn't make billions of dollars from natural treatments...

The difference in Conventional medicine and Natural medicine is; true treatment and work at reversing problems. Natural medicine has a far better chance of helping him than conventional medicine... No we cannot change the genes and remove the problem but it can give him better quality of life and longer life... Natural medicine strengthens the veins and arteries making it likely for longer and better quality of life... How? First and fastest would be to try a Chelation IV Therapy consult to see what it will do for him, I can bet lots... I was told there was nothing that could be done for my Mitrial Valve Prolapse (MVP) except to wait until it got worse and then surgery would be necessary to replace the valve... That was not true, but all that conventional medicine can or will do... I had Chelation IV therapy and corrected the MVP along with cleaning out my arteries and strengthening the arteries and veins in my whole body... If you are in Southern California and the best Chelation IV Therapist, in my belief, is  Julian Whitaker, MD, 4321 Birch Street, Newport Beach, California. If you are not in Southern California click here to find a chelation IV therapist near you Or check out your local Naturopath...

If you do not have a chelation IV therapist close at hand you might want to get him on Oral Chelation, which is much slower but will work with time... Along with either one he should stop the atenolol. Supplement necessities: Without fail he should be taking at least 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals mixed with 4 to 6 ounces of beet or carrot juice, twice a day as it is imperative to healing as well as prevention of further heart damage... He should be take natural artery, vein and muscle strengthening formulas, Skeletal Support & Structural Lubrication, these will strengthen the heart and vessels making them stronger without toxic side effects...

EXERCISE IS IMPERATIVE to strengthen the heart and arteries: 45 to 60 minutes or exercise a day (brisk walking best) this will most likely have to be worked up to that length of time but will help to strengthen the heart and arteries... Can be divided into two or three walking sessions...  

HEALTHY DIET: Absolutely no dairy products; no butter, milk, cheese or pizza's as they will exacerbate the problem. 

For further information on Chelation IV Therapy get the book "Forty Something Forever"  clicking here... can get the book Used for $4, Or New for $7.95... Most book stores charge $9.95 to $14.95...

I hope this helps answer your question? If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask!

DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN

Someone advised, "If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague." But kindness and goodness extend far beyond how we talk about each other. The person who dares to be good -- and DO good -- may have to find the heart to stand up and be counted.

Not too long into the American Civil War the Union finally won a victory at Antietam. President Lincoln used the occasion to produce a proclamation to free American slaves. He called his cabinet together and laid the document before them. He had been shaking the hands of well-wishers all morning and his arm and hand were stiff. He rested his arm and spoke to Secretary of State William Seward.

"If my name ever goes into history, it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it. If my hand trembles when I sign the Proclamation, all who examine the document hereafter will say, 'He hesitated.'"

Then he picked up a pen and signed "Abraham Lincoln" in bold writing. That signature, coupled with a later Union victory, changed the course of history forever. American slaves were finally freed.

It's not always about being nice. It's about doing the right thing.  And it was never put better by anyone than by eighteenth century  church reformer John Wesley:

"Do all the good you can,
by all the means you can,
in all the ways you can,
in all the places you can,
at all the times you can,
to all the people you can,
as long as ever you can."
