Alternative Medicine/Alternative treatments for aortic stenosis

Question
My boss' 80-year old mother is suffering from severe aortic stenosis. She has had a valve replacement previously for this condition, but it has recurred and another surgery is not an option. She is undergoing a valvuplasty in September, but this will only give her an estimated 7-9 months of symptom relief and is not a long-term cure. Can you recommend any alternative treatments and/or practioners? We would be most grateful. Thank you.

Answer
The best thing would be to have her see an a holistic practitioner face to face...IF that is what SHE wants to do.

Her treatment is up to her, and her consent to holistic treatment isn't clear in your question. If she would like an evaluation, the best thing would be to find a holistic practitioner in her area to see her in person. Phone book, local magazines, and such are all good resources.

Best wishes to all of you
