New Breakthrough in Heart Disease Prevention…
New Alternative Treatment Has Shown To Lower High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol along with reversing heart and vascular damage. Patients with terminal heart disease have reversed their condition without the use of medications. In fact, a major heart study performed on chronic heart patients showed overwhelmingly that many can in fact reverse their conditions.
Heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol can slowly develop over a long period of time. Fatty deposits begin to stick on the artery walls slowly causing a narrowing of the vessels. As the vessels become narrower the heart has to pump harder in order to push the blood through this occluded vessel. The more occlusion the harder the heart has to pump the higher the pressure becomes leading to other possible catastrophic events including fainting, short of breath, heart attacks and strokes.
I’m sure you’ve seen the advertisement on T.V. for the cholesterol lowering drugs. Drugs known as ‘statin’ drugs are formally labeled as Lipitor, Crestor, Mevacor, Zocor and others have been developed to lower your cholesterol. Do they work…yes. But have you seen, read or experienced the side effects of these drugs?
Statin drugs seriously deplete your body of Coenzyme-Q10 (CoQ10) – the vital heart nutrient that naturally prevents heart attacks and strokes. CoQ10 stops cholesterol from blocking arteries, it helps lower blood pressure and rejuvenates heart cells. Using any type of statin drug whether natural or otherwise will destroy Coenzyme-Q10.
The most common side effects of the statins are gastrointestinal -- nausea, gas, upset stomach. Less common are headache, dizziness, rash, and sleep disturbances. I can personally can tell you that it is one of the only drugs I’ve seen in my 27 years of practice that has caused more unexplained bizarre muscle aches, joint pain and swelling than any other drug I’ve seen patients using.
I have advised many patients to speak to their MD to see if there is anything else they can do to switch medications. In almost every case when the patient either switched or was taken off the statin drug the symptoms went away.
Last year, I was being interviewed on a radio show out of in the mid-west. I was being interviewed for a show on health and sports injuries. While I was waiting my turn to be interviewed I had to wait while listening to the show on the phone. The gentleman who was being interview before me really caught my attention as I listened.
His name was Dr. Joseph Prendergast a leading doctor in California who specialized in Endocrinology and Metabolism. He had a large practice and treated many patients with cardio-vascular disease along with diabetes. When he was 37 years of age he went in the hospital for some tests and it was revealed that he developed severe plaquening and hardening of the arteries and veins. In fact the doctor doing the test told him he had test results that where that of a man in his 80’s.
He began to research the available information on reversing this condition. He came across the research that was performed by Dr. Louis Ignarro. Dr. Ignarro found that when you raised the levels of Nitric Oxide in the body that you softened the inner walls of the blood vessels. This allowed for the vessel to dilate (open wider) allowing more blood to flow to its intended destination.
He also found with prolonged use that that the inner walls would actually soften and slowly repair itself. This caused the cholesterol not to stick to the walls and the plaquening to break apart. Dr. Prendergast began using it for himself and after a period of time he went back for a follow up exam and he was told that he has the vessels of a 15 year old.
During the past 18 years, Dr. Joseph Prendergast used this same nutritional approach to treat his patients and achieved the remarkable results of treating more than 8,000 patients with
ZERO Heart Attacks, ZERO Strokes and ZERO Stents.
This is especially remarkable because Dr. Prendergast is an Endocrinologist and many of his patients are high risk diabetics who would normally be expected to have significant cardiovascular health issues.
His results were very impressive but I continued to search through the research studies on the subject. To my surprise I found that a Dr. Louis Ignarro actually was presented a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in uncovering the working model on how nitric oxide can soften the lining of the blood vessels which allows for the blood to transport through the system much easier.
Nitric oxide is responsible for direct and indirect vasodilatation (widening of the blood vessels), anti-thrombotic effect (prevents blood clots), anti-inflammatory effect (inflammation from too much cholesterol, too much smoking, too much sugar in the blood and obesity. Nitric oxide will also reduce the proliferative effect to the vessel wall which means it gets harder for cholesterol to attach to the vessel wall.
The above picture is a close up of an normal artery (far left) – the beginning of plaquening or occlusion (middle) and 90% occluded on the far right.
The research shows that a frequently occurring amino acid called L-Agrinine is responsible for increasing the body’s production of nitric oxide. They found that nitric oxide is normally found in the lining of the vessels of the body. By increasing nitric oxide in the body you can reduce high blood pressure and plaquening of the vessel walls.
An independent group of people approached Siva Arunasalam M.D., president of the High Desert Heart Institute, and asked him to do a study of the protein molecule L-Arginine
After 90 days of taking the L-Arginine supplementation all 33 patients showed substantial improvements and the patients were taken of the heart transplant lists. This incredible clinical study showed how powerful L-Arginine is and how it can restore health without the horrible side effects caused by medications.
What can it do for you?
- Reverses Vasoconstriction (narrowing of the vessels)
- Lowers Blood Pressure
- Prevent Clots From Forming
- Reduces Inflammation
- Increase Blood To Tissues & Organs
- Allows More Oxygen To Tissues
- Reduce Arthrosclerosis
- Prevents Vascular Stenosis (hardening of the arteries)
- Prevent Heart Attacks
Remember that nitric oxide is present in every cell of the body. It is important that by increasing the amount of nitric oxide in your body you will increase oxygen to the muscular system, neurological system (including your brain), immune system, circulatory and digestive system.
Nitric oxide is a “free radical scavenger” that can track down free radicals that cause oxidative stress on the tissue (aging you faster) and eliminates them. It also helps the immune system fight against infection and to help maintain a normal immune system.
The evidence is overwhelming to the validity of the outcomes of L-Arginine. The key is to the way you use it and how you use it. If done properly you can see outstanding results in a relatively short period of time. Is it a cure all…of course not, but for people who are dealing with cardiovascular complications the evidence of success outweighs the complications of the problems that can arise if left untreated or passively treated.
For me, I’ve been using it in my office for well over a year now and the results that I’ve witnessed have quite honestly shocked me. People that know me know that I’m a skeptic. However, I’m a skeptic with an open mind. After reviewing the research on this for a long time I decided to use it first on myself and second with my patients. I began to see more energy develop over a short period of time, more clarity in my thinking (ok, no wise cracks out there) and believe this or not but I had a small varicose vein on my leg go away.
My patients have told me several stories of success too many to mention here. I can assure you that this is no fly-by-night story of unfulfilled promises. I’ve never had any disappointment with any treatment to date. Cholesterol dropped, high blood pressure lowered and other benefits that help the patient felt themselves once again.
If you are looking for more information on this feel free to contact my office or email me with any questions. I’ll be happy to explain how this can help you.
