Dad is a survivor of heart bypass operation. In 2002, he was described as a walking time bomb by doctors after seeing the result of his angiography. He was advised to be operated on as soon as possible. Thus in June 2003, he had a successful heart bypass operation.

As we recall, prior to this operation, Dad has rapid heart rate and was complaining on occasional chest pain. Other doctors were saying perhaps that might be due to gastritis. We sought the second opinion who said it might be because of an Enlarged Heart and because of the huge difference in those two diagnosis, we decided to do some research. Our access to information that time was limited, unlike today, there is a Heart Library. Our family doctor advised us to be more informed about the heart problems since Dad’s sickness was not only caused by his diet, but genetics as well.
