Cardiovascular Disease is a prevalent condition that demands comprehensive and personalized care. At Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center, we are dedicated to offering innovative and holistic therapies to support heart health and improve cardiovascular function. Recognizing the importance of addressing the underlying causes of cardiovascular issues, we provide therapies like Plaquex, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Chelation Therapy. These therapies are designed to detoxify, rejuvenate, and enhance the circulatory system, contributing to overall cardiovascular health. Our approach is to blend these advanced therapies with a holistic wellness plan, focusing on each patient’s unique health needs and promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle.

Plaquex

Plaquex therapy, a groundbreaking treatment at Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center, offers a novel approach to combating cardiovascular disease. Developed over 50 years ago in Germany, Plaquex is a natural phospholipid, also known as phosphatidylcholine or Essential Phospholipid (EPL). This therapy works by helping to release arteriosclerotic plaque from the body’s arteries, which is crucial in improving cardiovascular health. 

Patients with severe angina and coronary artery blockage have experienced significant relief after undergoing Plaquex therapy. Many were able to become asymptomatic, reducing or even eliminating their need for heart medications such as beta-blockers, nitroglycerin, and blood pressure medications. At our center, Plaquex is administered with precision and care, forming a vital part of our comprehensive approach to treating and managing cardiovascular diseases.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

At Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) therapy is a key component of our cardiovascular disease management protocol. ALA is a potent antioxidant known for its ability to rejuvenate and protect cells from oxidative stress, which is particularly beneficial for cardiovascular health. In the context of heart disease, ALA plays a significant role in improving endothelial function — the lining of the blood vessels — and enhancing blood flow. 

This therapy can also aid in regulating blood lipid levels and blood pressure, factors crucial in managing and preventing further cardiovascular complications. Our expert team administers ALA therapy in a controlled environment, ensuring it complements other treatments and lifestyle modifications aimed at improving heart health. By integrating ALA therapy into our holistic approach, we aim to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses the root causes of cardiovascular issues, supporting our patients on their journey to improved heart health.

Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy is a pivotal treatment for cardiovascular disease at the Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center. This therapy utilizes chelating agents like EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), DMPS, DMSA, or Vitamin C to bind and remove heavy metals and toxic substances from the body. The term ‘chelation’ is derived from the Greek word “chele,” meaning “claw,” which aptly describes how these substances encircle and extract toxins, facilitating their elimination through urinary excretion.

EDTA, the most commonly used chelating agent in our therapy, is FDA-approved for treating lead and heavy metal poisoning. While its use in treating other forms of toxicity or circulatory problems is not FDA-approved, it has shown significant benefits in clinical practice. By removing harmful substances, chelation therapy can aid in preventing or treating atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, and circulation issues. It works by attaching to specific minerals that contribute to plaque formation and arterial blockage, effectively cleansing the cardiovascular system. This therapy, administered under expert supervision at our center, is an integral part of our holistic approach to cardiovascular health, offering a non-invasive option to support and improve circulatory function.
