Current studies criticise futile pharmaceutical medicines -

Natural treatment of coronary heart disease is possible

Millions of people in the UK and throughout Europe suffer from heart failure.

The signs are shortness of breath, oedema and fatigue. Often those affected

suffer from cardiacarrhythmia which can lead to sudden death. It is alarming how

the number of people suffering from cardiac insufficiency (heart failure) has

increased during the past decades - despite the massive use of apparently highly

effective pharmaceutical medicines. Current studies reveal the great risks and

ineffectiveness of these conventional pharmaceutical medicines, but fail to

mention that the advantages of fighting this common disease naturally have been

known for some time!

 

Pharmaceutical medicine on the road to nowhere

 

In the " New England Journal of Medicine " issue of 19th June 2008, one of the

worlds most renowned medical journals published the alarming results of two

clinical studies using conventional pharmaceutical medication on patients with

cardiac insufficiency or cardiac arrhythmia. In both studies the treatment was

not only ineffective but, because of the harmful side effects of the medication,

actually proved to be a health risk. The second study looked at the

effectiveness of the antiarrhythmic drug, Dronedaron on patients with severe

cardiac insufficiency. The originally planned two year study had to be

prematurely stopped due to the alarming death rate of patients treated with

Dronedaron!

The results of these two studies only support the argument that using

conventional, pharmaceutically orientated therapies in the fight against these

common health problems will fail.

 

Conventional medicine at a deadlock

The fact is that conventional treatment is largely confined to treating cardiac

insufficiency or cardiac arrhythmia with symptom-oriented pharmaceutical drugs.

For instance, cardiac insufficiency is treated with diuretics to flush out the

water that is retained in the body tissue due to the weak pumping function of

the heart. The favoured treatment for cardiac-arrhythmia is beta-blockers,

calcium antagonists and other anti-arrhythmic drugs and frequently, the

implantation of pacemakers.

The known diagnosis is generally " idiopathic cardiomyopathy " - meaning coronary

heart disease of unknown origin. In the light of the lack of knowledge about the

main causes of this disease, it is hardly surprising that many people suffering

from cardiac insufficiency - often after many years of conventional, symptom

orientated treatment - are given a heart transplant as the only chance of

survival.

 

Cellular Medicine paves the way for cause orientated treatment of heart failure

Cellular Medicine provides a historic breakthrough in the understanding of the

causes, prevention and treatment of this common disease. The primary cause of

heart failure and cardiac-arrhythmia is a deficiency of vitamins and other

essential nutrients in the heart muscle cells.

The reason is obvious and easy to understand. Because of the constant pumping

performance of the heart, an optimum supply of essential nutrients is needed to

provide bio-energy to the millions of heart muscle cells. To convert nutrients

into bioenergy, vitamins and other essential nutrients are required. A long-term

deficiency of essential nutrients is the reason for the weak pumping performance

of the heart (just like the engine of a car running out of fuel) which, in turn,

causes a disturbance in the electrical impulses responsible for a regular

heartbeat.

 

Clinical studies proving the advantages of micronutrients

Energy is created in the " power station " of the cell, the mitochondria, and

takes place in a chain of numerous biochemical steps, which depend on a

sufficient supply of micronutrients such as vitamin C, B-vitamins, magnesium and

coenzyme Q10.

The amino acid L-carnitine , together with co-Q10, provide a mode of transport

for fatty acids (the energy provider) to the mitochondria of our cells. Our

heart and skeletal musculature require large quantities of energy which they

receive predominantly from the burning of fatty acids. A further essential

nutrient is taurine, a natural amino acid. It has a stabilising and soothing

effect on the easily irritated cell membranes found in the heart. The

stabilising effect also boosts the activity of the heart muscle and strengthens

the heartbeat. Therefore, the risk of cardiac arrhythmia is reduced.

 

Numerous scientific studies confirm the importance of micronutrients. A

double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study involving 131 participants was

carried out in Germany by the Dr. Rath Research Institute, USA. The results

showed a significant reduction in cardiac arrhythmia in participants, due to a

micronutrient synergy program. Almost half of those who continued taking their

prescribed conventional medications and, additionally, took essential

micronutrients, experienced no further cardiac arrhythmia.

A pilot study from our Research Institute showed improvement in the health of

patients suffering from heart failure. This was measured on the so called " NYHA

scale " , a recognised standard set by the New York Heart Association for judging

the functional ability in patients with heart disease. In 2005 the European

Heart Journal published a study confirming the positive effect of micronutrient

synergy on the health of elderly patients suffering from heart disease.

 

The success of these scientifically proven natural therapies make us optimistic

that this effective, safe and cause orientated treatment will become the

preferred medical practice in years to come.
