Tonite I simply wish to ask your prayers for my incurable severe edema & congestive heart failure? 
  I had MASSIVE attack 09/05.sustained severe fractures & much more from car crash.  Was recovering nicely. But in early Nov.-06 noticed terrific edema started at ankles, now has reached mid-thighs & severe ascites of liver. Am in agony like a pressurised balloon ready to explode. Can no longer flex legs at knee to put on pants or walk normally.  Drs confirm some fluid in base of lungs.  Lasix & other diuretics so far have failed.  Even with fluid restriction to 3 cups daily, and almost no sodium.  Outlook is grim.  I am alone & won't enter hospital - MDs explained this is an unrelenting , illness - can never resolve, except with a new heart. Even when such like myself enter for critical phase, soon afterward fluid re-accumulates due to damaged heart ventricles not pumping the blood properly. MY ejection  fraction is 50%. Tonight in my severe pain I only want prayers from either christians or those who worship Ha-Shem. Pray for the Lord to heal me or to take me.  I am in such agony .
Dr. Arun: tell me, please, with my ejection fracton of 50%, would digitalis make such an improvement.  I use large amounts of Indian ARJUNA, which is a powerful cardiac stimulant, & many other benefits.  My ejection fraction used to be 30% before I started daily ARJUNA.  I worry about digitalis.  I welcome your reply & mostly your prayers, whatever your faith.   Thank you.
