My Story

Many people have emailed in to ask why I am so hot about l-arginine. I wrote a book about this called the “Uncommon Doctor” which you are welcome to buy, but let me summarize it.

At age 37 I had a CT scan of my abdomen to check out a vague abdominal pain. We saw no abnormalities except, as the radiologist said, “You have the arteries of an 80 year old man”.

My father had his first stroke, the big one that never allowed him to work again, at age 42 so I figured I was in the gun sight for my own vascular tragedy.

I was desperate to find something that worked. John Farquhar in preventative medicine at Stanford was my first stop – he doesn’t recall our meeting – but each time I see him I thank him for saving my life.

The real attack began when I started working with Victor Dzau and John Cook using l-arginine to reverse atherosclerosis. This was in the Division of Cardiovascular Research and allowed me to start very small amounts of l-arginine, with the idea that although the appropriate dose was not known, you have to start somewhere.

I had been very familiar with l-arginine and had used in for endocrine testing and research both in my first fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital and the second at UCSF. I even tried to see if we could use it orally for growth hormone and insulin testing. I always joke that if I had been smart enough I would have won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1998! It’s a thought anyway.

As you might guess, I became a student of l-arginine. I read all that the three Nobel Prize winners published and constantly strived to make whatever product I was using better. I tried to get 3 different pharmaceutical firms interested in the retail manufacture and distribution of the product but who wants to have a product they cannot patent?

I started myself and all my patients on l-arginine in 1991 and gradually improved the product. I never believed that I could reverse the atherosclerosis, all that calcified plaque, that concrete in my arteries.

Then I had another CT scan of my abdomen. “How did you do this?” the radiologist shouted at me. I told him but he, like me, was befuddled. “It’s impossible” I thought to myself. How can you get rid of the concrete lining the arteries? It’s magic!

With time and much study I realized that it could be done and I was doing this on all my patients as well. 80% of my patients at that time had diabetes and we had been in the sad place where we were referring 30% for cardiac problems until 1991. Now we have not referred any patients or admitted any patients in 17 years.

I turned to Network marketing, social networking, to get the product I needed for myself and my patients. I had no idea that U-Tube was a new social phenomenon that sprang from the concept of Network marketing nor did I realize the quality of the products was as good as any pharmaceutical company until I had toured Synergy.

Now I can bring together all that I need for my arteries and work on continuing the development of what is now the best antiaging product around. ProArgi 9 plus (how to purchase) fulfills all that I hoped for and will look for in the future.

This is my story and my time of a moment of strategic health. You need not be terrified of what is ahead for you because now the path is clear and safe. It’s your time.
