This puts things in perspective.  I was refering to myself and anyone
without a signifigant
health problem. If I were in your shoes I would consider the same route you
have chosen.
As far as I know I have no heart disease. If I did I suspect it would have
shown itself during
an intense workout.You are doing what is best for you.
At this point just the thought of eating brains is difficult.

Best of luck reversing the damage, you would not be the first to do it.
Knowledge is power.
