High levels may dam- age the lining of arteries and lead to atherosclerosis and increased risk of blood clots. People with high homocysteine levels seem to be twice as likely to die of heart dis- ease. The good news is that ho- mocysteine levels can be lowered by some vitamins, mainly folic acid (folate) and vitamins B6 and B12. A Harvard study of 80,000 women's eating habits found that those who consumed adequate amounts of folate and B6 were much less likely to suffer a heart attack than those who did not ingest enough of these vitamins. The American Heart As- sociation recommends that people consume about 400 mcg/day of folic acid. A supplement may be useful for those people who do not eat adequate fruits, grains and veggies. 1-800-640-5503 207 Professional Way 426-427; (Across from the hospital) • lfyou'd like one-on-one care, a private birthing suite complete with lacuzzi-rype tubs, a birth plan that can include pain medication, and the convenience of having your next baby at MGH, we have an obstetrician, several family practice pt ,sicians and a certified nurse-midwife on staff Call our physician referral line, 427-9551, rot. their names and phone numbers. aaldng it all possible (left tO right): Obstetrician: Jonathan Gold, M.D. Family Pradtice: Christine aozich, M.D., John Butler, M.D., Allen Miliard Iil, M.D., Tlmot_hX Weber, M.D., Doris Wilson, M.D., and Certified Nurse Mid-Wife: Kate Fouquier, MSN. home town,' nospita; 901 Mt. l, qew Drive, Building #I, Shelton, WA 98584 (360) 426- ! 611, from Beifair 275-8614 North Mason Medical Clinic in Belfair is affiliated with MGH.
