What Is Cardiovascular Disease? Cardiovascular Disease, or CVD for short, includes Coronary Heart Disease or diseases of the arteries (Arteriosclerosis, including hardening of the arteries, or Atherosclerosis), Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction), Arrhythmias, Congestive Heart Disease, Stroke, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), Rheumatic Heart Disease and other dysfunctions of the cardiovascular system.

Should Keeping My Cardiovascular System Healthy Be A Priority For Me? Yes, it should! Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and Europe. According to U.S. 1992 mortality statistics, about 1 million people per year die of CVD in the U.S.A, that's approximately 1/2 of all deaths registered every year, an average of one death every 33 seconds -- and it's rising, as confirmed by statistics drawn from the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the 1996 Johns Hopkins Medical White Paper Reports. It's plain to see that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a problem of epidemic proportion which most people would rather not talk about.

Don't Men Experience Cardiovascular Diseases More Often Than Women? No, they don't! Interestingly, more women die of CVD than do men (51.9% compared to 48.1%); Menopause itself appears to increase the risk of coronary heart disease, as do the factors of smoking and oral contraception. Alarmingly, more than one in four people in the U.S. have one or more types of cardiovascular disease. CVD also makes up approximately 20% of all disabilities.

But Aren't There Safe Medical Procedures That Accurately Diagnose And Treat Cardiovascular Disease? Well, yes and no! Most procedures are costly, and their results are often painful, debilitating and of questionable long-term worth. Coronary Bypass Surgery and Prescriptive Drug Therapy often have unwanted side-effects. And alarmingly, a recent landmark 5-year, $3 million Rand Corporation study indicated that bypass surgery, angiography (a pre-surgical x-ray technique to detect blocked arteries) and carotid endarterictomies (the removal of blockage from one or both arteries carrying blood to the brain) were significantly overused procedures, and that the latter surgery was done for inappropriate or questionable reasons 65% of the time. Further, arterial blockage diagnostic exams are apt to be inaccurate, especially when studies show that experts only agreed 60% of the time with their interpretation of angiograms, and for those first agreeing, only 50% of them subsequently agreed with their own diagnosis when asked to "blindly" re-examine. Such suggests an overall 30% accuracy rate, meaning that 70% of the time, medical experts are likely wrong about your needs for bypass surgery.

But Don't A Lot Of People Have Bypass Surgery Because of Cardiovascular Disease Anyway? Yes, they do! An estimated 485,000 coronary artery bypass surgeries were performed in 1993. Of these, 73% were performed on men, and 47% were performed on people under the age of 65. The total cost of all cardiovascular disease in 1996 is estimated by the American Heart Association to be $151.3 billion. Today, bypass surgery is an estimated $25+ billion a year industry, with the average cost of a surgery running around $44,000.00 (1992 statistic)...very profitable!

Is Cleansing My Cardiovascular System All That Necessary? Yes! Your cardiovascular system consists of 60,000 miles of arteries, veins and capillaries. It's designed to carry nutrients and oxygen to every living cell in your body while removing toxins and wastes. Like the water pipes in your home, your arteries and veins can become plugged with plaque and debris which compromises circulation and can lead to heart attack, atherosclerosis, embolisms (obstructions of blood vessels) and stroke, all which can incapacitate or cause death.

Are Cleansing The Liver And Kidneys Considered As Important As Cleansing The Cardiovascular System? Yes! The Liver and Kidneys are the major 'filters' of the blood system, removing toxic wastes and debris. The kidneys especially aid in ridding the body of excess 'acids' while rebalancing critical pH. If these “filters” are damaged or continuously unclean, your blood will remain laden with debris and heavy metals that could travel to your brain and cause a stroke, become part of the cholesterol plaque hardening your arteries and veins, or become 'stones' painfully lodged in your kidneys. Clean and efficiently functioning liver and kidneys are critically essential for life.
