Cardiovascular Health and Prevention
You CAN Reverse your risk!
First, know the FACTS about Heart Disease:

  • over 1,000,000 die each year due to heart disease.
  • 500,000 women every year die from heart disease
  • every 60 seconds someone dies of a heart attack
  • Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) accounts for 300,000 deaths each year          
    -1 every 60 seconds
  • 95% die before reaching the hospital
  • 100,000 athletes die each year from SCD
  • 60% of youth are at risk for heart disease
  • Heart attacks kill more people than the next 9 causes of death COMBINED!
  • In 1999, there were 65,827,000 physician visits with the primary diagnosis of
    cardiovascular disease
  • more people visit the doctor's office for hypertension, high blood pressure,
    than for any other reason.
  • The effects of heart disease is like SEVEN Boeing 747's crashing with    NO
    survivors . . . EVERY DAY!

Now, early screening and preventive health care CAN avert heart disease!









Digital Pulsewave Analyzer:  FDA Approved for Cardiovascular Screening

Three 1998 Nobel Laureates, building on decades of scientific research, have
identified the endothelium factor and linked it to the health and vascular age of
your arteries, veins and capillaries.

What is the Endothelium?

It is a single layer of selectively permeable cells that line the entire cardiovascular
system and exerts tremendous control over the flow of blood. Lumped together,
the endothelium is the largest organ of the body, weighing as much as the liver.  
Extraordinary new studies clearly indicate that endothelial damage is the trigger
of current markers of vascular dysfunction, including plaque formation and
inflammation.

The endothelium protects the                                                                                       
integrity of the vascular system,                                                                                 
providing a teflon-like lining that                                                                             
prevents cells from sticking to our                                                                           
vascular walls, through the                                                                                          
production of Nitric Oxide.

The Role of Nitric Oxide (NO)

As Nitric Oxide levels decline, so does endothelial function.  As endothelial function
declines, so does the elasticity and integrity of our vascular system.  This continuous
breakdown of the vascular system has tremendous ramifications on your health.  
(LIGHT THERAPY also increases Nitric Oxide with each use and helps build new blood
vessels and capillaries!

Just think about the capabilities of large arteries, medium sized arteries and
peripheral veins, the capillaries that carry nutrients to the furthest extremities of the
body:

        Every 60 seconds, our vascular system distributes no less than 5 quarts of life
sustaining blood, an extraordinary 1800 gallons per day.
        The vascular system also distributes oxygen from the lungs, nutrients from the
intestines, hormones from the brain and glands and white blood cells, the
foundation of the body’s ever vigilant immune system.
        All waste is removed from the body and delivered to the liver and kidneys for
breakdown and excretion.
        The vascular system can signal the blood to clot when there is a cut. It can
control the diameter of the smallest capillary, increasing flow to muscles during
exercise and decreasing flow to the skin when the body reacts to fear.
        The small vessels dilate and constrict to direct the flow. The large arteries
respond to the hearts rhythm, expanding with each beat and relaxing between
beats.

Arteriosclerosis
Under microscopic observation, our vascular system reveals the effect of plaque in
the arteries - quite literally blemishes that have earned the name arteriolosclerosis.
        A rupture or damage to the endothelium attracts the “bad cholesterol” (LDL-
C) which sticks and oxidizes and attracts white blood cells.  This powerful army
generated by the immune system engulfs oxidized cholesterol until, engorged,
they swell into foam cells.
        If the endothelium does not recover, LDL-C and Foam Cells form a pustule,
much like a pimple, which signals for more white blood cells and a powerful
antioxidant, super oxide ion.
        When the abscess pops, it releases puss and causes a blood clot that can
lead to heart attack or stroke.
        An aging vessel wall looks like skin scarred with acne!

Nobel Prize winning research shows us how we can restore endothelial
function by boosting Nitric Oxide (NO) production!
        NO slows plaque growth and suppresses arteriosclerosis, keeping vessels
pliable and elastic.
        NO reduces the stickiness of the endothelium and prevents white blood cells
and platelets from clinging to the vessel wall.
        NO calms the cells flowing through the vessel and, thereby protects the
vessel wall. Even when blood cholesterol is high, if the vessel is producing sufficient
amounts of NO, the vessel will be protected from the development of plaque.
        NO melts away or shrinks plaque that is already there!
        NO regulates oxidative enzymes (ADMA) in the cell, preventing oxidation
and the free radical damage it generates.
        NO has been shown to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
This research, notable of the coveted Nobel Prize in Medicine (1998), is changing
the landscape of cardiovascular health and adding credibility to the right mix of
nutritional supplements.

and helps build new blood vessels and capillaries!

Are You At Risk?
With the availability of nutritional tools to stop and even reverse the progression of
arteriolosclerosis, how can you assess the current health of your vascular system and,
just as important, evaluate the effectiveness of your lifestyle changes?



















This is the role of the Digital Pulsewave Analyzer. This exciting non-invasive,
FDA approved technology is now available.  This quick and inexpensive process
takes a snapshot of the cardiovascular system.  This simple 3 minute test evaluates:

        Pulsewave & Pulse Height
        Vascular Flexibility & Elasticity
        Hydration Levels
        Vascular Aging
        Response to lifestyle changes, including diet, supplements and exercise

The Digital Pulsewave Analyzer is FDA approved and can provide early screening for
key cardiovascular risk factors that can be evaluated.

What can be done to improve arterial health?
We use an oral chelation therapy program utilizing L-Arginine and citraline, fulvic
minerals, and anti-oxidants with essential fatty acids.  L-Arginine is a naturally
occurring amino acid, which the body then converts to nitric oxide ('NO').  Nitric
Oxide plays an essential role in every human.  Hundreds of studies on Arginine
demonstrate its effectiveness in helping the body produce necessary nitric oxide.  

Your body converts L-Arginine into nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels to remain
open and blood to flow more efficiently and smoothly throughout the body.   NO is
essential for the maintenance and restoration of blood vessels.  Nitric Oxide helps
blood vessels open up where there is a need for increased blood flow, and has been
shown to reduce dangerous plaque build-up in the arteries.  Antioxidants have been
shown to help the body regenerate tissue and prevent aging.

In a number of studies with Arginine, no interactions with any of the commonly
prescribed medications for cardiovascular or other conditions were noted.  As
always, it is best to consult your medical doctor with any questions you may have.
