Dr. Prather, can you talk a little more about the treatments for poor circulation?

Circulation can be interfered with in a number of ways, the most common that people think of is the breakdown of the arteries, which can cause heart attack and heart failure issues.

The bottom line here is that without a complete circulatory flow you cannot possibly get the oxygen to the all the areas of the body.

We have a number ways to effectively treat circulatory problems, including nutritional products, reducing the free radical pathology, which actually a cause of damage to the arteries, and the one I’m probably most excited about is the external counterpulsation therapy.

Our external counterpulsation therapy (ECP) has a dramatic impact on reducing the circulatory problems within the body because it has a ballooning of all the arteries, helping them to get their elasticity back, with no dangerous affects. We are seeing some very dramatic effects with this treatment.

In fact, we have had patients who have had procedures such as stints put in before doing the ECP and did not get the results they desired. They have since begun nutritional supplements along with the ECP and are achieving dramatic improvements in their system.
