My St. Jude aortic valve and Dacron Graft! |
Sharing Healing Powers through Nature Systematics. Read below about my field recording adventures, experimentations with nature art, and about our attempts to grow terpene-rich hemp flowers in a sustainable and organic manner (IPM), how nature immersion helps me manage my aortic dissection and kidney cancer, about green roofs I've designed over the years and much more life fun.

Marfan Dissection and My St Jude Aortic Valve
Along with the Dacron Graft I received a St. Jude valva. Below is a photo of the specific model that keeps me alive. The surgeon, Dr. Bates told me later he could have used a pig valve but since I was younger at the time he used the metal valve. Supposedly it is rated to last ten thousand years.
