Nutritional Atherosclerosis Control - Reduce Leg Pain, Intermittent Claudication
Leg pain is a symptom of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) - a form of atherosclerosis, affecting the arteries outside of the heart, such as those that deliver blood to the arms and legs.
Just as heart arteries can become clogged and cause pain, potentially leading to a heart attack, PVD can cause leg pain, and in severe cases results in the loss of the limb. It is a sign of system-wide cardiovascular disease, and often people with PVD also have blockages of arteries in the heart.
Most of the narrowing in PVD occurs between the knees and the ankles resulting in markedly decreased circulation to the feet. This may produce pain in the legs or feet when you walk.
If the pain, especially in the calf or thigh muscle when walking, is relieved with rest, the condition is called intermittent claudication - "angina of the legs" (claudication means "to limp" in Latin).
If the blood vessels to a portion of the legs or, more commonly, part of the feet become totally blocked, then the part of the body supplied by those blood vessels dies and gangrene occurs - your toe or foot becomes dark purple.
Standard Medical Treatments
Medical diagnosis of peripheral artery disease involves an ultrasound Doppler test, which helps to determine the degree of plaque. Another, more acurate test, called arteriogram (or aortagram), is performed where larger blockages are suspected.
These tests help to determine type of treatment needed:
- surgical intervention, usually risky
- balloon angioplasty or stent-grafts (implantations), also invasive
- bypass surgery, in casse of serious arterial blockage.
Therefore, standard medical "treatment" of atheromatous plaque includes its removal, compression, or displacement.
Unfortunately, this "cut or medicate" approach merely by-passes the problem! It does nothing to stop the underlying disease, that is atherosclerosis, and its progression.
Thus, the results of medical treatments are only temporary and bring just relief of -- symptoms!
The Nutritional Advantage
The results of nutritional approach go beyond the relief of leg pain! Its goal it to improve and/or restore the blood flow in the entire circulatory system.
Only optimum nutrition can boost the body chemistry, helping the cells to
- receive more vital nutrients - nourishment needed for their optimal function (and survival), and
- undergo the ongoing process of detoxification - an essential factor in preventing and fighting all health problems.
This is especially important for those, who have a family history of diabetes, heart disease or stroke due to atherosclerosis.
Eating Plan for Arterial Health
As atherosclerosis, to a great extent, is intimately related to what you eat, your diet has a strong impact on your cardiovascular health. Therefore, your food choices should be given serious consideration.

Gentle Exercise for Arterial Health
There is strong evidence that exercise and stress reduction - if done regularly - are both protective of the cardiovascular system and supportive of the immune processes. For adults, atherosclerosis is almost always a sign of not enough exercise.

Restored Circulation in Feet (Photos)
A.
A thermographic photo of both feet of a 47-year old male, prior to the nutritional cleansing (both feet thermally 'amputated' due to poor circulation). This man considered himself fairly active and on a good diet. He was on the nutritional cleansing for six (6) weeks.
B.
A thermographic photo of the same feet of the same 47-year old male, after six (6) weeks of the nutritional cleansing. It demonstrates a glowing picture of the feet with all toes visible. The increased temperature in this area was made possible by improved circulation (blood flow).
Within six (6) weeks, vascularity in this man's feet was increased by 86 per cent, and pulse volume - by per cent. Considering the fact that impaired cirulation in the extremities is difficult to treat, to see such a high degree of response in only six weeks is most significant.

I just have to tell you our good news!
My husband had the second Doppler on his legs last week (lst one was 7 months ago) and we are really excited about the outcome.
The 100% blockage in the left groin area is now - 50% blocked, and the right side which was 90% blocked is now - 40-50% blocked. This is after being very diligent about taking your Arterial Cleansing Formula.... we think for about six months.
You could verify that. I am going to try to obtain copies of the Doppler tests for you.
My husband is walking much longer distances, although he hasn't been able to get out and walk for a sustained length of time...mostly due to weather and feeling bad other ways...joints, etc. So we are sure the Formula is the one thing that is helping.
