Pioneers in medicine have used natural therapies for years, so whereas procedures may be new to traditional medicine, they are not really “new.” Doctors looking for success in healing people and getting the results that patients want have often gone outside to mainstream, looking for answers. Often, as conventional doctors see the success, methods that were once “alternative medicine” become traditional medicine.

Chelation therapy has been in use for decades. Antioxidants are introduced via IV drip to remove toxins and heavy metals from the bloodstream. More recently other IV therapies have been introduced. The advantage of IV drips is that they bypass problems with digestion. The remedies go directly to the blood, whereas a pill or liquid taken by mouth may not be absorbed.

A successful treatment for flu, pneumonia, mononucleosis, Lyme disease, tiredness, anxiety and stomach infections has been IV drips of high doses of vitamin C, B Complex, magnesium, trace minerals and glutathione. This is called immune enhancement therapy. It is also very beneficial for patients undergoing surgery, both before and after the surgery and has been used to treat cancer and other chronic illnesses.

The cause of heart disease is not your parents. Heredity can be a cause of heart disease, it is but one factor among many factors that must be taken into account when assessing your risk for heart disease. However, one recent study found that heredity accounts for less than 10 percent of a person’s risk for developing heart disease.

Doctors cannot agree on the number one cause of heart disease, so you will have to evaluate the evidence yourself and determine your own risk/reward ratio. Smoking, obesity, and high cholesterol are usually in the forefront of any study.

Treatment for disease usually includes a change in diet and other habits like smoking, alcohol consumption, and exercise. Cutting out salt from your diet may not be entirely a good way to prevent heart disease. This is because a very low intake of salt will actually cause some people to die from cardiac arrest.

Cigarette smoke and chemical fumes do more than damage your lungs. Air pollution had both short term and long term toxic effects on the heart and blood vessels and to your heart. If you have an existing heart problem, keep your workouts at the gym. If not, wait two hours after peak traffic conditions before heading out for your jog. If you work in a polluted environment, try wearing a mask.
