Heart Treatments |
|
| Reversing and preventing heart diseases |
|
| Treatment to restore blood flow without surgery |
|
| If you have had or have been advised bypass/ angioplasty, suffer from chest pain, poor circulation, diabetes
- take preventive action with Intravenous Chelation
Therapy and ECP |
|
|
| What is INTRAVENOUS CHELATION THERAPY
(ICT)? |
|
ICT is non-operative treatment for blocked blood vessels. It consists of ACAM & IBCMT protocol for Chelation Therapy. |
|
|
How is Chelation Therapy done? |
| We use the Chelation protocol recommended by the American College for Advancement in Medicine
(ACAM) & IBCMT In Chelation Therapy medicines are given by intravenous drip lasting about 2 ½ to 3 hours. The number of drips depends on the severity of the disease and are usually about 20-30. |
|
|
How does ICT work?
|
|
Exact mechanism is not known.
|
| |
|
 |
Chelates remove calcium and as blood vessel elasticity is decreased by calcium deposits and also plaque is composed of 70% calcium, 23% lipids and 7% other material; chelation by removing calcium increase blood vessels elasticity and may also decrease calcium in the plaques. |
|
|
|
|
Removal of heavy metal pollutants from the body decreases free radical formation leading to a healthier life. |
|
|
|
|
Improved collateral circulation. |
|
|
|
| This enhances blood flow and restores blood and you will feel better. |
| |
| How effective is
ICT? |
| About 80 to 90 out of 100 patients treated with ICT improve. |
| |
| What is the present status of
ICT? |
|
Chelation protocol is recommended by the American College for Advancement in Medicine
(ACAM) & IBCMT whose protocol is used at Dr.Saxena
Family Health Centre. |
|
Chelation therapy is recognized by the National Health Services
(NHS) in UK. |
|
Chelation Therapy is available in about 1500 clinics in America and many in England, France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Spain etc. |
|
However though lifestyle management, nutrients and antioxidants are well established all cardiologists do not subscribe to the view that Chelation Therapy is effective in vascular diseases. |
|
| |
| EXTERNAL COUNTER PULSATION
(ECP), a truly non-operative, non-pharmaceutical, safe and effective treatment. |
| |
| ECP opens dormant blood vessels and to stimulate formation of new blood vessels thus increasing the blood supply to heart muscles. |
| |
| Angina usually is controlled by medication that helps increase the supply of oxygen to the oxygen deprived heart muscles by dilating coronary arteries. Unfortunately, in most patients, medication becomes ineffective over time. Bypass surgery or Angioplasty is usually recommended if medication fails to ease angina or if the risk of heart attack is high. Invasive procedures sometimes fail, pose risks and are very expensive. |
| |
| An FDA-approved alternative to bypass surgery and angioplasty is now available to patients who suffer from cardiovascular disease and congestive heart failure and cannot be treated effectively with medication or are unsuitable or are unwilling to undergo invasive procedures. This therapy is called External Counter Pulsation
(ECP). |
| |
| Unlike heart surgery and angioplasty, ECP an efficacious, clinically tested, non-surgical, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical therapy, without requiring any type of anaesthesia or needing hospital stay. ECP is a circulatory assist device that provides external Counter Pulsation for the treatment of ischemic heart disease which enables the heart to grow its own bypasses, it is also safe, painless, and affordable. |
| |
| The idea behind ECP is to gently massage blood out of the legs and back to the heart and by this ECP increases blood flow to the heart by 42% by opening up small blood vessels that usually don’t open up unless under pressure. It improves cardiac function by enhancing perfusion of the coronary
vasculature, using a mechanism similar to the intra-aortic balloon pump
(IABP). ECP also encourages the growth of new collateral blood vessels through which blood flows around coronary artery blockages. During the rest phase of each heartbeat the extra blood that flows into the new vessels, encouraging them to grow and nourish the ailing heart. This increases oxygen delivery to the heart muscles and thus relieves or eliminates angina, increases exercise tolerance and time to exercise induced
ischaemia. |
| |
| The treatment decreases the need for medication and improves the ability to participate in normal day-to-day activities to relieve or eliminate angina and have various other beneficial effects on different systems of the body. |
