Here is the long awaited comparison finally. A tabular form will be uploaded later tonight. FIND THE TRUTH & Enjoy ! Part – III, A Comparison of Different Treatment Methodologies Now let us see the different modalities available for treatment; 1. The Conventional Approach – Bypass Surgery (CABG) and/ or Angioplasty/ Stenting : This conventional allopathic approach is aimed at opening up the most critical blockades by putting in a piece of metal tube called stent (average life is 3-8 years) inside the artery or by taking a piece of blood vessel/ vein from elsewhere in the body and grafting in place of the more diseased part of an artery – the procedure being known as bypass surgery or CABG (average life is 10 years). This solves the problem only partially and does not stop disease progression nor does it reverse disease, it just fixes it temporarily. After a few years more stents are required or there is another vessel that needs bypass and it becomes a never ending story. Moreover in about 30% of the patients, the immediate problem is never resolved. There is another very grave concern; a stent is a foreign body and the immune system of the body keeps registering it and keeps mounting response against it – the reason for collapsed or blocked stents. This requires another stent which is put inside the same stent and the cycle goes on. Eventually the outcome in such patients is very poor. Stop! Let us visit the very basic procedure of angiography. It is an invasive procedure and statistically major complications including death occur in 4% of the patients. With this local method of treatment the relief of signs and symptoms is only partially permanent, disease progression does not stop, the disease is neither reversed nor cured, consequently the need for lifelong medication is always remains. Moreover this method does nothing to strengthen the immune system. Bypass Surgery or Angioplasty are neither safe nor without side effects. However, whatever this treatment method does, is provable through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 2. Homeopathic Treatment : This can be effective only if constitutional homeopathic treatment is given. Constitutional treatment by way of its holistic approach rejuvenates the entire systems operating in the body and mind. Its action is centrifugal meaning that it works from within and outwards throwing all toxins, infections, foreign bodies and morbid substances out of the body to restore equilibrium in physical, mental and emotional planes of life. As a part of the treatment arteries also revert to their original healthy condition. It further implies that if a person has already gotten a stent in or has had bypass surgery, homeopathic treatment can actually be dangerous. *Unfortunately there are only a few constitutional homeopaths in the world, rests of them by and large do not know much about constitutional treatments. Moreover, it is complicated not only for the physician to perform but also difficult for the patient to follow. Therefore in the name of homeopathy specific medications are used that seldom work as intended. Specific medication has its own side effects, especially if not given appropriately. Moreover this non-scientific practice contradicts the very philosophy of homeopathy as laid out by its founder Dr Hiena Mann. Specific Medication works only half the time and that too only so much. With this systemic method of treatment (rated according to availability in Pakistan) the relief of signs and symptoms is only partial and seldom permanent, disease progression may or may not stop, the disease is sometimes reversed and cured but sometimes not so, consequently the need for lifelong medication always remains. Moreover this method does little to strengthen the immune system. Improperly prescribed homeopathic medicines are neither safe nor without side effects. However, whatever this treatment does, is usually not provable through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 3. Naturopathic Treatment : If administered properly, this treatment can have a striking difference. * There are not many tabibs (naturopaths) who can a.) determine the constitutional type, b.) suggest an appropriate remedy according to the constitution of the individual, and c.) use properly prepared medicines. Most of the naturopathic medicines are supposed to be prepared on nano-scale concepts and the method of preparation matters a lot. Somehow our tabibs are not able to produce the quality medicines required for such a treatment. With this systemic method of treatment (rated according to availability in Pakistan) the relief of signs and symptoms is only partially permanent, disease progression may or may not stop, the disease is sometimes reversed and cured but sometimes not so, consequently the need for lifelong medication always remains. Moreover this method does little to strengthen the immune system. Improperly prescribed homeo medicines are neither safe nor without side effects. However, whatever this treatment does, is usually not provable through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 4. Dietary or Nutritional Approach : A properly advised dietary approach based on well researched sound scientific principles will invariably improve heart disease and partially or completely reverse it as well. The only problem is that the right things need to be identified. *Majority of the dieticians or nutritionists do not have a clue to the real causation of heart disease. With this systemic method of treatment (rated according to the practice in Pakistan) the relief of signs and symptoms is usually partial, disease progression may or may not stop, the disease is sometimes reversed and cured but sometimes not so, consequently the need for lifelong medication always remains. This method however strengthens the immune system. It is usually without side effects. However, whatever this treatment does, is usually not proved through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 5. Magnetics Makes use of magnetic bracelets, rings and magnetized water for drinking. It does improve high blood pressure to some extent, but considering the range of disorders, it is a peanut. Moreover, the proponents do not fully understand the appropriate use, underlying mechanisms and suitability for the patients. There is far more research needed in this field. With this semi-systemic method of treatment (rated according to the practice in Pakistan) the relief of signs and symptoms is usually partial and temporary, disease progression does stop to some extent but temporarily so, the disease is never reversed or cured, consequently the need for lifelong medication always remains. This method does not strengthen the immune system. It is usually without side effects. However, whatever this treatment does, is usually not proved through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 6. EECP (Enhanced External Counter-Pulsation) This technique uses external pulsed pressure to strengthen the peripheral pumping capacity of calf muscles (also known as the peripheral heart) to lower the burden on heart. There is usually some improvement but is not long lasting. Moreover, it does nothing to treat the disease itself. With this non-systemic method of treatment (rated according to the practice in Pakistan) the relief of signs and symptoms is usually partial and temporary, disease progression does not stop, the disease is never reversed or cured, consequently the need for lifelong medication always remains. This method does not strengthen the immune system. It is usually without side effects. However, whatever this treatment does, is usually not proved through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 7. Chelation (Intravenous EDTA) This method was initially developed to treat Lead Poisoning by the US military. It was later discovered that it also treats blood vessel blockades because of its ability to chelate calcium out of plaques. Once very popular in the late 70s, intravenous EDTA Chelation is no longer favoured over conventional treatment methods despite its potential to reverse the disease. This method utilizes intravenous EDTA in an infusion (drip) to be administered with extreme care by a qualified practitioner along with a lot of vitamins and minerals to counteract calcium chelation from bones and tissues. Usually 30 to 40 drips are required over a period of approximately 20 weeks. EDTA takes calcium out of the blockades thereby decreasing the blockades but it does so indiscriminately, as it takes calcium out of the bones also. Prolonged chelation leads to osteoporosis and can lead to kidney disease as well. With this systemic method of treatment (rated according to the practice in Pakistan) the relief of signs and symptoms is usually permanent, disease progression does not stop however, the disease is reversed or even cured at times, but the need for lifelong medication mostly remains. This method does not strengthen the immune system. This method has its side effects. However, whatever this treatment does, is usually not proved through lab and radiological imaging techniques. 8. Ozone (Combination Method) : More Modern Techniques and Methods such as Ozone with a combination of above methods such as nutritional approach : This is a new paradigm in Allopathy. Ozone, made from Oxygen, is used intravenously either dissolved in a drip or by mixing in a small quantity of blood outside the body and then returning it to the body. Usually 30 – 40 drips are administered over a period of approximately 12 weeks but without the side effects of chelation. In fact, the only side effect is ‘Anti-Aging’ because Ozone rejuvenates and revives the dormant and dying cells of the body normalizing their function. Ozone therapy is a very simple constitutional treatment method and as such has a number of benefits, and therefore its use in so many different diseases. In our current context Ozone fast tracks all the steps of intervention and when combined with the right nutritional approach, checks on all the right boxes of the criteria of success. Combination Ozone is therefore the method of choice in treating heart disease and related disorders. With this systemic method of treatment the relief of signs and symptoms is usually permanent, disease progression is halted, the disease is reversed or even cured, and subsequently the need for lifelong medication is also gone. This method strengthens the immune system. This method has zero side effects. Whatever this treatment does, is provable through lab and radiological imaging techniques. So many different modalities and methods are available for the treatment of heart disease, only the ones available in Pakistan have been compared here. The purpose is to make the general public aware of the different modalities available and bring out their true and unbiased positive and negative points in a scientific and logical manner. We talked about heart disease striking fear in the hearts of all men - Some of this fear is justified though, yet sometimes so dangerous and complex problems have paradoxically very simple solutions. Just step back and think outside the box for a while…..! After all, the Choice should be yours ! NOTE : The term “Bypass The Bypass” simply means any alternate method of opening up the blood vessels supplying the heart, a non-invasive method that does not involve surgery. It is not synonymous with the Chelation Therapy as is commonly misunderstood.
