Don't Become A Heart Statistic
1 OUT OF 4 AMERICANS HAVE SOME FORM OF
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
New, non-invasive test
helps you to Protect Yourself From Heart Disease Right Now!
If you (or your loved one) live an average life span, odds are
that at some point, you will develop cardiovascular disease.
Millions of Americans are actually playing “Russian roulette”
because they believe that normal cholesterol readings mean a
healthy cardiovascular system. But cholesterol testing doesn’t
identify everyone headed for a heart attack. Cholesterol is only
one of several substances in your blood that could be damaging
your arteries.
The American Heart Association has documented that
diseases of the heart and blood vessels are the leading causes of
death today.
1 Fifty-seven million Americans—over one-fifth of
Americans—suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease.
2 Globally, cardiovascular disease has been estimated to cause
50% of all deaths.
3 Arteriosclerosis refers to a process whereby
your arteries become thick, hard, blocked, and have a loss of
elasticity.
Many people with heart disease have coronary artery
bypass surgery, a procedure in which blocked portions of major
coronary arteries are bypassed with grafts taken from the veins
of the patient’s legs. Bypass surgery has grown into a multi-billion
dollar industry with over 500,000 bypasses performed
each year. The cost can often exceed $100,000 and the risk of
dying during the surgery can be as high as 8 percent.

Unfortunately, because the underlying cause of the disease is
not addressed, a large percentage of those who receive the
surgery will need another bypass procedure six to eight years
later. Because cholesterol testing is used as the primary “red
flag” to determine heart and blood vessel disease, more than
three Americans per minute will have a heart attack. One-third of
these victims will die. With statistical odds like that, it’s a
wonder why doctors are not attempting to do more
comprehensive studies of the heart and circulatory system rather
than rely on blood levels of cholesterol as the sole determinant of
cardiovascular health.
According to William Castelli, director of the Framingham
Cardiovascular Institute, “Total cholesterol has pretty much
outlived its usefulness as a way to predict heart disease and
follow its progression.”5,6 Other researchers are identifying
other substances in the blood that may tell us more about an
individual’s risk.
Beyond Cholesterol
Discover Early Detection Cardiovascular
Protocols
To understand why cholesterol testing isn’t enough
anymore, you’ll need to think about heart disease differently.
It can easily be decades from the time heart disease starts, and
during this time your cholesterol levels may be normal. It is
during this symptom-free period that almost a million people
die each year of heart disease. Yet, strange as it many seem,
nobody seems to be afraid of heart disease—until it actually
strikes them. Don’t let it happen to you. The Ash Heart &
Wellness Center has designed a battery of non-invasive studies
to accurately assess and cut your risk of heart disease.
Hundreds of thousands of patients have beaten their heart
and circulatory problems long before they may have ended up
with a stroke or fatal heart attack. And, they eliminated the
need for costly bypass surgeries with our nutritional and
chelation protocols and most recently with non-invasive
procedures. Time and time again, we documented that
blockages of the arteries can occur when cholesterol readings
are normal. The Ash Center for Comprehensive Medicine has
endeavored to peer beyond cholesterol, trying to understand
the crucial distinctions that determine why one person drops
dead of a heart attack and another does not. Figure 2
illustrates a clear carotid artery with no evidence of blockages
or plaque and a person with carotid artery blockage that had
normal EKG’s and normal cholesterol. It’s important to
understand that your EKG may not reveal any evidence of
circulatory system blockages until your vessels are blocked 80
percent or more! With superior vascular imaging techniques,
the Ash Heart & Wellness Center can give you a quick and
accurate diagnosis long before symptoms occur.
Non-invasive cardiology testing with 2D Echocardiography,
Carotid duplex scans, and Stress Echocardiography are used
with ultrasound to view structures in the heart and in the
carotid artery. High sensitivity color flow graphic recordings
allow you to visualize the blockages and get effective
treatment without delay. Our focus is on early detection of
cardiovascular disease. Don’t wait until you have symptoms or
it’s too late! Reduce your risk of having a heart attack or
stroke now by having a comprehensive medical exam at our
center.
The Ash Heart & Wellness Center has developed a
revolutionary new approach to the treatment and prevention of
heart disease. Based on the latest advancements in
cardiovascular research, this unique approach goes far beyond
the inadequate precautions you are now taking. One that
assesses the functional status of the circulatory system and
addresses all the risk factors underlying cardiovascular disease
in your unique case. For example, studies have documented
that abnormal hormone levels are correlated with the
development and progression of cardiovascular heart disease.7-
10 Our hormone profiles are critical tools for implementing and
monitoring hormone replacement therapies.
Nutritional deficiencies are correlated extensively with the
incidence and progression of cardiovascular disease.11-14 Our
nutritional protocols are customized to correct your unique
biochemistry, thereby improving the quality of your life, and
possibly even saving it. Our treatment protocols can help you
gain control over your body and live a full, vigorous life.
We’ll show you:
• How you can reverse heart disease
• How you can prevent new disease from taking hold
• How you can correct the underlying deficiency states that
have accelerated the clogging of your heart and
circulatory system
• How you can renew your heart’s strength and improve
cardiac function.
Avoid Becoming A Heart Statistic!
Don’t calculate your cardiovascular risks solely on the basis
of normal cholesterol. HDL/LDL, homocysteine, fibrogen or
other blood chemistries. Asses your risk with the
determination of the actual blockages in your circulatory
system of your right now! By assessing the actual percentage
of blockages that exists to the heart, brain and other areas of
your body, you’ll keep your heart healthy and avoid becoming
a heart statistic.
Too often heart disease and stroke risks are undetectable in
blood chemistry profiles. While modern emergency cares
saves many lives—prevention by early detection of
cardiovascular disease—offers you the means of preventing a
heart attack or stroke. Avoid costly medication and invasive
procedures, call us today at 212-758-3200 to assess your
risk for cardiovascular disease. Most insurance accepted
so there is no excuse to wait…call us today.
Make no mistake about it: You can protect yourself and
your loved ones from heart disease. New tests can help show
who’s really at risk. The heart disease you may have—
whether diagnosed or lying dormant—can be reversed.
Without medication or expensive surgery. Without living in
fear that you can’t exercise or have sex. Fight heart disease,
prevent stroke, and
rejuvenate your cardio-vascular
system by
intelligently assessing your
risks and restoring your
body’s chemical and
molecular balance.
