Heart Disease Prevention

Canada’s number two killer, just behind cancer, is heart disease. It’s the number one cause of hospitalization and the cost to the Canadian economy is staggering at $18.5 billion per year! What is the first sign of a heart attack? The answer is “sudden death”. Most people don’t get a second chance. And the facts about heart attack aren’t what you’d think. Seventy per cent of heart attacks occur in individuals with blood vessel blockages that are not detectable by angiogram, the most relied upon method of assessment used today. Fifty per cent have normal cholesterol and 33% have no risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Natural medicine uses individualized programs to prevent heart disease. The first step is to determine your health status. Assessments include blood and urine laboratory testing and Vital Signs heart and stress test. Vital Signs computerized assessment measures the stiffness of your major artery, the aorta. Aorta stiffness increases blood pressure and puts a strain on your heart. Heart rate variability, an indicator of stress on your heart is also measured.

Diet, Exercise and Weight Control

Studies indicate that 93% of patients can control their blood pressure with diet alone by reducing salt, and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Studies, however, show that only 38% of patients were able to maintain this regimen for 2 years. Exercise and weight control also prevent heart disease, but like diet, they are hard to keep up. For most people it’s too difficult and many have complicating health conditions that make it near impossible. Medical treatment becomes a necessity.

Removal of Heavy Metals

Heart patients have 22,000 times more mercury and 14,000 times more antimony in their hearts. These toxins cause your blood vessels to narrow and reduce blood flow. Chelation therapy removes heavy metals resulting in the return of your blood vessels to normal functioning. The arteries expand and blood flow increases. Dr. W. Blumer, M.D., detoxified patients for 18 years and found a reduction of 80% in heart disease.

Strengthen Your Blood Vessels

Dr. Linus Pauling, Ph.D., won two Nobel prizes in medicine and with Dr. M. Rath, M.D., established a cure for heart disease and a way to prevent it. They used high doses of vitamin C to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and prevent the injury or breakdown of the walls that results in plaque build up and narrowing of the blood vessels. They also used high doses of lysine, an amino acid, to stop the excessive build up of plaque on the vessel walls. Taken together, vitamin C and lysine are clinically effective. Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D. treated over 20,000 patients without a single case of heart disease developing.

Decrease Inflammation in your Blood

It may be surprising, but there are people with 90% blockages in their blood vessels that never have a heart attack and there are people with no blockages that have heart attacks. Studies have indicated that infection and inflammation can trigger clots in your blood responsible for heart attacks, irrespective of the condition of your blood vessels. Inflammation is measured with a blood test of C-Reactive protein, an inflammatory marker. Your blood is kept healthy by taking anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-thrombotic and lipid lowering natural medicines.

Don’t Become a Statistic

Heart disease prevention is critical for everyone because the incidence is so high, almost one in every two people. If you have a family history of heart disease, prevention is paramount. Natural medicine provides comprehensive and effective treatment. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Act now.
