"Mitral valve prolapse" is a non-condition. I read a (print, sorry)
article
about how it was a benign condition and often occurred due to
dehydration. This can include drinking too many teas and coffees which
are diuretic.

You may be able to find a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm near
where you live; there are lots of them. You pay once a season and pick up
fresh organic veggies weekly. Here is a link to search for one:

There are lots of small farmers out there, growing real food, selling it to
real people.
