Hi Dianne,
I'm no doc, only Lyme diseased lab-rat, but somewhere I read that
plaque in arteries is the body's way of making a patch on weak spots
in arteries and veins. It was mentioned that rather than the current
focus on cholesterol which is the material in the plaque 'patches',
people should take lots of vitamin C, as that helps heal the weak
spots. From that, I'd tend to think that aneurisms might also be
helped, as it was a weakness in the beginning that created the
ballooning of that particular vessel. This is just speculation, but as
I'm doing 15 g of sea salt and vitamin C a day to kill Lyme (it works)
I'm hopeful that it may also ward off vascular issues. My dad had an
aortic aneurism, so, like you, I wonder.
Be well,
Léna

I have a family member (64yr) that has been diagnosed with a heart
aneurism. It is fairly large but the VA won't do anything until it
gets larger. I wanted
to ask if anyone is familiar with this problem and what natural
approaches might help this condition. I don't know what they can do
for this condition.
My cousin died of an aneurism of the spleen when he was 42. I don't
know if this runs in families.
