Identifying At-Risk Patients

Typically patients with: Chronic Infections, Inflammation, Chronic Conditions

Key Symptoms to Watch For:

  • Fatigue
  • Poor circulation
  • Cold hands, feet, arms, legs
  • Cold intolerance
  • Numbness, tingling
  • Lightheadedness, brain fog
  • Headaches, dizziness
  • Exercise intolerance

Evaluating Objective Findings

Physical Examination

  • Low pulse oxygen
  • Low blood pressure
  • Cold hands, feet, skin
  • Reduced nerve sensitivity
  • Bruising, swelling
  • Weakness

Basic Laboratory Findings

  • CO2 < 25 on CMP
  • Metabolic-lactic acidosis
  • Poor energy output
  • Low B vitamins, Mg, CoQ10
  • ↑ CRP, ESR, fibrinogen

Advanced Laboratory

  • Clotting cascade markers
  • Lactate, Pyruvate
  • Organic acids
  • Fatty acids
  • Amino acids

Understanding the Mechanisms Involved

1
Lack of Blood Flow

Cholesterol and blood sugar levels impact circulation

2
Lack of Nutrient Diffusion

Clotting and fibrin issues impede nutrient delivery from capillaries to cells

3
Lack of Cellular Delivery

Digestive function and nutrient supply affect cellular nutrition

4
Lack of Toxicity Removal

Infections and toxins (metals, mold, environmental) trigger inflammation

Learning Protocol Options

Blood Flow Optimization

✓ Movement & Exercise

✓ Adequate Hydration

✓ Weight Management

✓ BP Control

✓ Blood Sugar Control

Homeopathic Protocol Options

⚠️ Important: Always consult with the patient’s Cardiologist on matters of blood flow, platelets, clotting, or any heart-related symptoms.
