   Extractions: Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), is present in ten per cent of the population. It is said to be the most common cardiac variation and women have it more than men. Of that 10%, one quarter have mild to severe symptoms. The mitral valve and the autonomic nervous system are formed simultaneously in the unborn infant. When there is a slight variation in this heart valve, it can be reflected as a slight variation in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Usually the syndrome is activated after one or more major crises take place; that is how mine was uncovered. Most often there is no logical connection between the crisis and activation of the symptoms. Although the MVP and heart look as if they should get the primary attention, it is actually the autonomic nervous system that needs to be the focus of any healing work. The basis for the physical description of the MVP and the list of symptoms comes from the work of Lyn Frederickson M.S.N., author of "Confronting Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome," published in 1988. It is a combination of her medical description and my eight year exploration with this syndrome that are the basis for this article. The mitral valve is located between the left ventricle and left atrium in the heart. When the lower part of the heart contracts, the mitral valve (without a prolapse) remains firm and prevents blood from leaking back into the upper chambers. When the valve is prolapsed, there is slight variation in the shape of the valve that allows one part of the valve to billow back into the upper chamber during contraction of the left ventricle. This protrusion can often be heard through a stethoscope, and the sound is known as a "click." There may also be a slight, leak of the valve during the contraction of the ventricle, which may also be heard as a soft murmur. The variation in the shape of the valve is a condition that is hereditary and may appear in various members of a family. It can feel life threatening but it isn't. It can be life-style threatening. Here is a list of some of the common symptoms of this syndrome:

    Extractions: I am a Vietnam Era U. S. Air Force Veteran who served from 1962 to 1966 under the maiden name of Larmore. After completing Basic Training at Lackland (January 1963), I was stationed with the 3201st Air Base Wing WAF Squadron at Eglin AFB, Florida. In 1965 I was selected as the Fire Prevention Queen for the base. My last assignment before receiving a medical discharge was in Air Operations at Eglin. Prior to entry into the Air Force, I graduated from Samuel Ready Girls' School, Baltimore, MD. Before that I attended Wicomico County Public Schools including Nanticoke Elementary School from which my mother had graduated. After discharge from the Air Force, I moved to Towson, Maryland and began attending Johns Hopkins University Summer School. There was a slight 9 month interruption along the way. His link can be found below. Eventually, I graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College , Lynchburg, Virginia in 1979. Within the past couple of years I was diagnosed with TMJ associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Fibromyalgia). I've learned a great deal about these illnesses by visiting the home page of the

I believe that if we consider the possibility that nutritional deficiencies, in some cases with an inherited component, are factors in MVP, then we can create a highly logical model of what may likely cause the condition. The chart below provides an example of how MVP and its corresponding symptoms can be linked to nutrition. It provides a logical reason of why MVP
