NEVER THINK OF BYPASS AGAIN

An alternative to Surgery Reversing & Preventing Heart Diseases

ARTERY CLEARANCE THERAPY

Artery Clearance Therapy (ACT)
ACT is non-operative treatment for blocked blood vessels. It consists of ACAM (USA) protocol for Chelation Therapy along with Dr. Dean Ornish’s methods for Lifestyle management and antioxidants and nutrients.                          

Procedure of Chelation Therapy
We use the Chelation protocol recommended by the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM). In Chelation Therapy medicines are given by intravenous drip lasting about 2½ to 3 hours. The number of drips depends on the severity of the disease and are usually about 30.

Mechanism of ACT
Exact mechanism is not known.
* Chelates remove calcium and as blood vessel elasticity is decreased by calcium deposits and also plaque is composed of 70% calcium, 23% lipids and 7% other material; chelation by removing calcium increase blood vessels elasticity and may also decrease calcium in the plaques.
* Removal of heavy metal pollutants form the body decreases free radical formation leading to a healthier life.
* Improved collateral circulation.
This enhances blood flow and restores blood flow and you will feel better.

Success of ACT
About 80 to 90 out of 100 patients treated with ACT improve.

Present status of ACT
* Chelation protocol is recommended by the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) whose protocol is used at Sibia Medical Centre.
* Chelation Therapy is recognized by the National Health Services (NHS) in UK
* Chelation Therapy is available in about 1500 clinics in America and many in England, France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Spain etc.
* Chelation Therapy is has been appreciated by the twice Nobel Prize Winner Dr.Linus Pauling and others
* However though lifestyle management, nutrients and antioxidants are well established all cardiologists do not subscribe to the view that Chelation Therapy is effective in vascular diseases.

Controversies about Chelation therapy
Medical science being an incomplete science there are many controversies in medicine and Chelation Therapy is one of them. Chelation Therapy is a patient proved therapy, but not double controlled blind study proved. This means that millions of patients world over have experienced the benefits of Chelation therapy but sufficient scientifically controlled trials are lacking. We believe that if experience has shown a therapy to be of benefit we need not wait for scientific trials which may take years or never be done if no one gets financial benefit.

There is also criticism as the exact mechanism is still not known and many patients improve symptomatically and can walk more and faster, have less chest pain and need less medicines but on angiography show little or no improvement. There may be mechanisms causing improvement other than visible on angiography. Again we believe that benefit of a therapy need not be denied to our patients simply because science has lagged behind the experience.

Studies both in favour and against Chelation Therapy are available and more double blind controlled studies are required before it becomes universally accepted. As things stand today Chelation will not be universally accepted as more clinical trials are warranted and Chelation will not die because patients are getting significant health benefits.

"I have grandchildren and a great-grandchild, and I'm happy that I'm still around"
"I even forget to take my nitroglycerin with me when I go out
because I don't need to take it anymore."

Patients that can benefit by ECP and ACT
Patients with decreased circulation anywhere can be treated such as:
Patients not fit for angioplasty and bypass surgery or do not want them
Before angioplasty or bypass to improve the cardiac status before surgery.
Patients with failed bypass or recurrence after bypass
Cerebral ischaemia, atherosclerosis, embolism, TIA, Vertebro-basilar insufficiency, Senile Dementia, Alzheimer disease, Cerebellar ataxia,
Hearing deficiency, Memory Disorders, etc
Vascular headache and migraine
Parkinsonism
Renal hypertension
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Decreased sexual functioning due to erectile dysfunction
To increase sports performance

How ACT and ECP benefit in so many conditions
ACT and ECP are beneficial in all these conditions because all of them are due to decreased blood flow to the affected organ. As ACT and ECP increase circulation they benefit disease in any part of the body due to decreased blood flow.

Advantages of ECP and ACT
They are effective, economical, Non-surgical, and non-invasive without hospital stay.

Safe and comfortable
Yes, They are safe and comfortable. patients can listen to music or see television during the treatment. Some patients even sleep during the treatment.

ECP and ACT before angioplasty and bypass and when they fail
Yes, thousands of patients have been saved from angioplasty and bypass with ECP and ACT. ACT and ECP also improve heart function so patients can stand the surgery better. ECP and ACT after failed angiography and bypass and in those not fit for them can be life saving treatments.

Proof of effectiveness
The patients feel better and they test better.
Patient can walk more.
Patient can walk faster
Patient has less Chest pain
Patient can better Breathing
Sorbitrate need decreases
General look and skin colour improve
Feel increased energy & work capacity.
Less fatigue
Decreased pain in the legs
Improved sexual performance
Improved mental ability and memory

Tests show improvement with ECP and ACT
Tests that document blood flow show the improvement with ECP and ACT. Improvement can be assessed by following pre and post treatment tests:
Tress Thallium
Cardiovascular Cartography
TMT.

Angiography to assess ECP and ACT progress
Angiography shows physical stenosis and not flow. As flow is not proportionate to the degree of stenosis hence angiography is not a good enough test for documenting improvement. ECP and ACT increase circulation by affecting the smaller blood vessels which are not visible with ordinary angiography. However angiography in experiments on dogs has shown increased collaterals.
