Cardio-Pulse Wave Device and Heart Disease 2009

I have been educating patients for 20 years about ways to improve their health. My focus has always been "preventive" rather than "reactive:" Life-style changes over drugs and surgery; True "health care," rather than the "disease/crisis care," we are taught to call 'health' care in this country.

The following is revolutionary technology in the prevention arena:

HEART DISEASE
Heart disease is clearly the leading killer in America and rapidly spreading around the world. If you have been to one of my health workshops you know that 1 in 3 Americans die of heart disease. In 47% of cases the first sign of a problem is DEATH. That's right, they felt fine on Sunday then Monday they died of a heart-attack.

Heart disease is a 'life­style' disease which means it is both preventable and reversible.
However, until recently there was no way to objectively measure (non-invasivly) the health of a person's cardiovascular system. Furthermore, we didn't understand how easy it was to reverse the affects that lead to the deadly extreme of a sclerotic' cardio-vascular system.

OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT
New technology that originated at Stanford University is an accurate and portable way to objectively measure the health of an individual's cardiovascular system. The new "Cardio Pulsewave Device," is being used to give individuals a 'benchmark' of where their cardiovascular system rates on a scientifically calculated chart of averages per age.

The test is very simple, painless and takes less than 15 minutes.

What is Pulsewave Analysis?
When your heart beats, it radiates a pulse wave down the lining of your arteries. That pulse wave is met with a certain amount of resistance from the walls of the artery, and this causes a rebound wave. Using this information we can accurately determine the health of the cardio-vascular system. It is as accurate as a femoral artery cardiac catheterisation.

Heart Health
I can tell you this, exercise is always important, chiropractic helps more than you think, but diet and the right supplements can really accelerate the body's ability to heal and restore elasticity to arteries and vessels.

There is a great deal of research pointing to L-arginine, an amino acid, which initiates vessel relaxation. "L-arginine, by more than one pathway, activates endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthesis which relaxes cardiovascular tissue.

We have made arrangements to have this equipment in our office once a month to check your heart health, Please call for times and costs.
