Heart Attack And Stroke

You’re only as old as your blood vessels.

Heart attacks, strokes, TIA’s, intermittent claudication and erectile dysfunction are signs that your arteries aren’t delivering the blood and oxygen necessary for your organs and muscles to do their jobs. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are the second most likely cause of death behind cancer in Canada. Healthy circulation brings the good and washes away the bad to keep your body humming along at its best.

How and why it happens.

We offer Chelation therapy at this clinic.

Chelation is derived from the greek word “Chelos” which means claw. When administered to the body orally or intravenously, a chelating agent circulates throughout the body and grabs hold of toxic metals like lead, cadmium and mercury to help facilitate their elimination from the body in the urine. Chelation therapy is offered at this clinic, however the risks and benefits should be discussed in the context of a consultation with the Doctor after a review of your health history.

Addressing the terrain.

There are many evidence informed natural and non-pharmaceutical interventions beyond just diet and exercise that can help address your personal risk factors and help prevent heart attacks and strokes. We will seek to identify which of your risk factors are the most significant and offer you options to address them.
