Heart Disease
In spite of all of our
advancements in technology, the surgeons still perform some 500,000 heart
bypasses each year. Many lay people today have become so familiar with both
bypass surgery and angioplasty that they might think that there is no reason to
fear such well-honed therapies. Yet,
experts who recognize the results of these common procedures would likely share
concerns with these methods that they do not address the underlying disease
process. That disease is arteriosclerosis, a condition that silently affects blood vessels throughout the
body. The disease causes a slow but
steadily increasing blockage of major arteries.
Bypass surgery and angioplasty do nothing to change this gradual
accumulation of fatty deposits throughout the body.
These high-tech procedures only “buy time” by addressing what are
often the most life-threatening areas of blockage - the blood vessels nourishing
the heart. If the process of arteriosclerosis
is not addressed, the arteries that have been bypassed will
again clog up; the vessels that have been angioplasties or stented will again be
obstructed with fatty material.
Our experience demonstrates the truth of
what doctors are now beginning to fully appreciate: namely, a program of
comprehensive lifestyle changes is the most powerful solution to
heart disease woes. Typical solutions to heart disease such as bypass
surgery and angioplasty only buy time in most cases. Why not finally take charge
of your heart problem by addressing the root causes? Make plans today to address
these causes in a comprehensive way at the Herghelia Lifestyle Center of
Romania.

philosophy is simple:
Our scientifically proven approach helps you focus on
why the disease is occurring and what can be done to help for the long-term

High
blood pressure affects millions of
people and contributes to heart attacks, kidney failure, blindness, strokes,
memory loss, impotence and arteriosclerosis. The
saddest part of this disease is that most of its complications and costs are
fully preventable.
The saddest part of this disease is that
most of its complications and costs are fully preventable. Even though there are
numerous high blood pressure medications, neither physicians nor patients are
fully satisfied with their treatment options. Often patients feel worse on their
medications than off them and are thus tempted to be less compliant with their
medication usage. Since most doctors emphasize drug treatment, the stage is then
set for a situation where a person must choose between drug side effects or the
silent ravages of hypertension.
By contrast, Herghelia Lifestyle Center
of Romania physicians emphasize a
lifestyle approach to high blood pressure control. Not only does our program of
regular exercise, stress management, hydrotherapy and a vegetarian diet help to
control blood pressure, it also helps participants feel better. This motivates
them to want to follow our program. Many of our patients are able to control
their blood pressure by these lifestyle changes alone; others are able to
drastically reduce their medication dependence. Listen to what some of our
recent participants have said:
