Healthcare remains an ongoing concern in the US and abroad. In the US, Heart Attacks and Strokes remain the number one cause for death and disability affecting some 1.5 million Americans each year. Somehow, we have grown to accept these unfortunate consequences and justify their stronghold though family history, poor health or just bad luck. These killers work in the body and most commonly are silent with few symptoms until they strike. While it was once thought that heart attacks and strokes were unpreventable, we now have documented science that proves otherwise.
While heart attacks and strokes are defined as a microvascular disease, these diseases have a greater impact than once thought and attribute to a number of other chronic diseases such as dementia, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and erectile dysfunction to name a few. This impacts some 190 million individuals in the US alone.
While our medical system has trained specialists, i.e., cardiologists for the heart, neurologists for the brain and so forth, no one has claimed responsibility for the arteries which include over 30,000 miles of pathways that carry blood to all the critical areas of the body. Our specialties are trained to react with an event occurs but have not been trained to ensure that the arteries are free from inflammation and disease.
Our current “standard of care” is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH! And more importantly, a cure exists!
