Peripheral Artery Disease - Is There a Holistic Approach to Treatment?

[@patriciaharding]

He should have warned patients up front that he would talk about a holistic approach for about 1 minute after 30 minutes of medical speak.

[@shelbysmom769]

Thank you😊

[@qtronicqilt8898]

I thought that was important also, you cant have a holistic approach without the medical problem.

[@justingreen9811]

This guy did great answering these horrendous questions without laughing. I'm a nurse and could barely keep it together especially with the attitude and confidence some of these people have. This guy is watering down even the complicated stuff. Basically, he doesn't know what causes PAD but exercise, meds, and so forth are associated with reducing risk. Even statins, he said while they lower cholesterol, we aren't 100% sure that's where their benefit lies.

[@jonathandball]

I have question I was hoping someone may be able to answer: "Is it possible for spinal nerve compression to cause limb ischemia (specifically the feet), where there are no other pathologies i.e.: diabetes, renal insufficiency, reduced cardiovascular output due to cardiovascular diseases like cardiomyopathy, peripheral arterial disease etc...?" Thanks!

[@BrendonHoppy]

Did you get an answer? If so, what is the answer?

[@thomasfraser9072]

Yes cervical stenosis or lumbar stenosis can cause peripheral neuropathy manifested by painful waking, fatigue and even being out of breath while walking short distances.

[@arnelarsen4073]

EWOT involves using a bike or treadmill for 15 minutes per day while breathing ~90-93% oxygen. Most EWOT available have a high contrast interval which involves exercising with low O2 concentration for 15-30 seconds every 3-5 minutes. There can be side affects early on from herximer reaction of release of peripheral toxins being released to liver.

[@chrispowers4704]

I appreciate the dr adding what info to steer away from. That is half the battle with how we all need to try to research ourselves. Unfortunately we need to though because most drs and specialists dont care enough and the system is usually to blame.

FOOD as Medicine and EXERCISE. I could only do 500 foot before.....then 500 steps......Now 2-3 miles a Day. I have NOT been through Cardiac Rehab or Any Classes. We KNOW what NOT to eat.....some Reading! My biggest FAT was coming from my Milk everyday. I was getting more than 1/2 my daily Fat intake from Whole Fat Milk. Now Fat free and non-dairy Creamer........Eating rightwatch the 3's ...FAT..Chol. Sugar. Last thing you want is to become a Adult onset Diabetic!

very well presented talk for non medical personal. Answered many questions without the intervention to to much medical speak.

[@poppyflower7873]

You should include Nattokinase supplements in your talk. This is a clot-buster buster, and I use it faithfully, along with aspirin, statin, and other things.....garlic, turmuric, CoQ10, L-Arginine Please comment.

[@aliensoup2420]

How is your progress taking Nattokinase ? Are you seeing definite improvement in your symptoms and performance? My doc has put me on Nattokinase, in addition to a multitude of other supplements, but I am only 2 weeks into treatment. I am not on any meds, only supplements, Keto diet, and exercise.

[@hamb4945]

Is buzzing in the ear, to the point of affecting sleep, one of the symptoms? This is then followed by an elevated systolic BP. ENT found nothing in the ears. How does one resolve this problem?

[@angielovesusa]

What about Bypassing the effected arteries and veins? Wouldn't that get rid of the issue?

My differential blood pressure readings testing both arms I've been on average I would say 15 to 20 the highest I've seen is 28 and at that point I kept feeling like I was going to faint always seems to be the right arm with the lowest pressure for a couple years now I've also been getting numbness from my foot to my head and everything in between it can be solely just on my right side or sometimes it's on my left side but mainly on my right side. I really started to notice this blood pressure problem I would say a couple weeks ago I was just laying down playing a video game am I right arm connecting to the chest part I guess like the socket I started to feel like a tightness pressure the next day I had it for a little bit as well but after that I've been taking my blood pressure because I've been noticing my arm tends to go numb a lot like lack of circulation more than usual. Now telling doctors about this they don't ever seem like maybe there's something going on with this guy. I swear Western medicine literally wants you to have fatal issues before they want to help. I know that I have a mild hypertrophy RVH also get PVCs Pacs under a hundred a day. I've also noticed I would say this year there's a lot of times I wake up sometimes bilaterally both of my hands will feel like there's no circulation there's color just feels like there are sleep. but then again like I say my $300, 000 a year doctor doesn't seem concerned

[@alejandrosalgado7281]

I had something similar, strange numbness where it felt like no circulation but wasn't turning blue or anything. I did a lot of natural stuff so: Accupuncture & Chiropractic adjustments 1-2 x/ wk . I had a really bad systemic fungal infection also that antibiotics didn't fix so I ended up just lathering up my entire body with strong essential oil combo (Frankincense, Oregano, Thyme, and a couple others I can't remember), I mixed them with some coconut oil and rubbed it into my entire body from head to toe 4x / day. It worked for me! I was really sick, had symptoms of MS, diabetes, pneumonia & I couldn't stop losing weight, was sure I'd die. You gotta be consisten and not skip treatments! Consistency is key.

[@xander_k_]

I get similar sensations and doctors don’t do anything about it because I’m in my early 20s, and they just assume that someone can’t possibly be the less common occurrences.

[@arnelarsen4073]

Inflammation causes micro circulation to swell block blood flow. EWOT can open up microvasculature vessels and restore blood flow.

bullhonkey on the no side effects of Statins..i take Atorvastatin 40 mg/day after about 4-6 weeks i start getting very sore muscles and very very sore joints and neck pains...i stop the medication for a week then restart and all is okay for another 4-6 weeks BUT i must say the benefits OUTWEIGH the side effects they dropped my numbers into the 40's !

Another view on Statins. Bit technical for anyone non medical but at 30 mins in you will see a slide showing the possible other side of Statins. Dr. Nadir Ali - 'Do statins prevent or cause heart disease? Should LDL be called "bad" Cholesterol?'

[@Gizmoimages]

Exercise, but exercise may only work against the progression. Drugs. Surgery and drugs. Different types of procedures stints, and drugs. Thing is I have great cardio as an athlete, but there was a time I was a truck driver and my lower legs swelled. I am now having issues with running when I begin to really push my pace. I need to look into exact diagnosis and procedure, but I'm not interested in drugs.

'holistic' from a big pharma perspective. this is not helpful at all.

[@Linezzle]

Holistic is the philosophy that all parts of a thing are interconnected. I think the term has been used interchangeably now with supplements or "non pharma" medications. The basis of this presentation is to present all the treatments and recommendations that can help reduce the severity of the disease. Sometimes medications can help as a placeholder, kind of like a brace for a sprained ankle. Granted, PAD is much more severe than a sprain and depending on the severity, it can be urgent to take meds to prevent further atherosclerosis (with the goal to ultimately save legs).
