Cardiovascular Disease

Even with considerable advances in modern medicine, heart disease remains the biggest killer in the western world today. While the cardiovascular disease was once thought of as an affliction of middle-aged, overweight, cigarette-smoking men, we now know today that nearly half of all heart attack deaths occur in women.

In conventional medicine, billions of dollars are spent on highly invasive procedures such as open-heart surgeries, coronary bypasses, or balloon angioplasty with stents. Still, very little attention is placed on preventing atherosclerosis (accumulation of plaque in the arteries), which is the underlying cause of the problem.

At the Health and Vitality Center, we always check your cardiac risks markers such as Homocysteine, Lipoprotein a, Hs CRP, and Ferritin, in addition to lipid panels.  High-quality fish oil, CoQ10, Red Yeast Rice, Niacin and methylated B12, B6, and Folic Acid is used to reduce these cardiac risk markers.  

A healthy, wholesome, and anti-inflammatory diet is essential in treating heart disease.  We also have several safe weight loss programs to help you achieve your ideal weight.  

Hypnosis is highly recommended for smoking cessation.

We also use CaEDTA chelation to treat atherosclerosis and hypertension.  This chelating agent can act as a natural roto-rooter and is a vasodilator.  Please refer to NIH 5 year double-blinded TACT study.
