Alternative Cardiology
I look at cardiovascular disease with a focus on the prevention and reversal of chronic disorders of the total body system with the heart in particular.

As for acute ischemic coronary syndromes and cardiac arrhythmias, this article is not presented as an alternative to excellent existing cardiology methods. Rather, it is directed at those who find the cholesterol and inflammatory theories of atherogenesis unsatisfactory and the notion of coronary artery disease (CAD) as a plumbing problem untenable.

An air pump works well when it pumps clean air. A water pump works well when it pumps clean water. A blood pump is expected to work well when it pumps clean blood. The heart is but a blood pump. It follows that CAD is, first and foremost, a problem of "dirty" blood. The circulating blood, as I clearly establish in my writings, has two guardian angels: the bowel and the liver. I consider CAD essentially to be a consequence of disruptions of the bowel and liver ecosystems. In the matter of prevention and reversal of CAD, I show how the real issues can be effectively addressed only by assessing and restoring those ecosystems.

Safety first.
Acute coronary ischemic states are life-threatening. Optimal pharmacologic intervention is critically important for managing those crises.

That is clearly the domain of experienced clinicians in conventional cardiology with full access to optimally equipped coronary care units. I have elected not to address that subject. Rather, my thrust is on nutritional, ecologic, and detox therapies that restore redox regulation and oxygen homeostasis, and so address the real underlying causes of acute and chronic coronary ischemic syndromes.

Until recently, all nonpharmacologic and nonsurgical therapies for CAD were dismissed as unscientific at best and outright fraud at worst. Indeed, physicians interested in reversing CAD with antioxidant and chelation therapies could do so only at the risk of losing their licenses. For cardiologists to show some openness to those therapies was certain to draw reprimand from the hospital and/or state professional groups. The possibility of an integrative physician co-managing individuals with CAD simply was unthinkable. As late as the fall of 2002, some at the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners were determined to bar EDTA chelation for CAD in the state. Fortunately some of that is changing now.
 

I would like to turn my attention to two dominant chronic problems of our time:

1. Ecologic disruptions of the bowel, blood, and liver ecosystems that result in perfusion deficits which, in turn, cause myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accidents, renal failure, Alzheimer's disease, and a host of other clinicopathologic entities; and

2.Ecologic disruptions caused by toxic metals that result in a host of energy disorders fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and others-autoimmune states, ecologic, and degenerative syndromes.

Coronary artery disease is a consequence of spiritual dysequilibrium and disrupted bowel ecology. That may amuse some cardiologists. In the following links, I marshal evidence for that view.
