Fonz, those studies say nothing about increasing oxygen to the heart. The only way to increase oxygen to the heart is to increase blood flow (or red blood cell count)...since the a-vO2 difference across the heart doesn't change much...even with exercise.
All those studies say is that those supplements may be good for your heart, and mitochondrial function (which is a THEORY on why we age as we do...the whole decreased mitochondrial efficiency thing). Sure it works very well on rats...that doesn't mean you can apply it to humans. If we could apply everything that worked on rats to humans...We would have found the fountain of youth some time ago.
I think your post is informative, but by no means should your advice be followed blindly. You rip a doctor for giving a band-aid cure, yet you tell him to start taking all these drugs and remain on a low dose of gear.
I hate to just add to the negative things said on this post, because that's really not my intention...and I hope you don't feel like we're ganging up on you...cuz that's definitely not what II'm trying to do.
But I really don't think you're qualified to give this guy medical advice...especially since you've never met him, seen his tests, and you didn't go to med school. (what type of schooling DO you have...out of curiosity?)
The best advice anyone can give him is to find out what his doctor thinks, and then if you don't trust it...get a second opinion. I'm sure eventually you'll be referred to a cardiologists, and then you'll be set.
