And our focus this week is on Holistic Treatments for Cardiovascular Disease In this episode, we talk about: —How a shift to the left of the Thoracic spine indicates heart problems, which can often be reversed once everything is aligned properly. —The number one treatment for every kind of Cardiovascular Disease. And the External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy that produces even better results than doing aerobic exercise. —Why Dr. Prather gets even better patient results than expected by the researchers of ECP Therapy. And the importance of proper nutritional supplementation alongside ECP Therapy "that does miracles". —How ECP Therapy helps fight aging, keeps the brain working better, and improves oxygenation to all the organ systems of the body. And Dr. Prather’s own story of how ECP Therapy has helped his heart heal from damage caused by a spider bite. —Why the combination of ECP Therapy and proper nutrients produces great results for patients suffering from Congestive Heart Failure, with hearts twice the normal size going completely back to normal after 7 weeks. —How you'd look like you were 21 for the rest of your life if you had no Free Radical damage, which causes Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, age or Liver spots, Cancer cells, Cardiovascular damage, and Dementia. —The "critical" importance of Minerals for Heart health. And how Dr. Prather can tell which mineral deficiencies a patient has just by looking at their EKG. —How Holistic Integration can actually test which Vitamins, Minerals, and Amino Acids that will work best for the patient. —Why Dr. Prather calls Homeopathy "our secret weapon". And how most Medical Doctors don't realize that Nitroglycerin is actually a homeopathic. —The "immediate" changes in the EKG that Dr. Prather often sees after a patient receives a Chiropractic adjustment. And the power of Acupuncture in reducing inflammation and increasing the healing ability of the body internally. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
