Heart Failure

Dr. Rath’s Cellular Medicine has identified the primary cause of heart failure as a deficiency of vitamins and other essential nutrients in the millions of heart muscle cells. These cells are responsible for the contraction of the heart muscle and the optimum pumping of blood into circulation.

The synergistic action of specific cellular nutrients, especially vitamin C, the amino acids carnitine, lysine, and proline, magnesium, coenzyme Q10, and other essential nutrients, combined in the right proportions is the right “fuel” for the proper function of heart muscle cells. Deficiencies of these essential nutrients impair the pumping performance of the heart, resulting in shortness of breath, edema, and fatigue.

These significant findings were confirmed by two clinical studies that we conducted with patients aged 40-70 who suffered from heart failure. Heart performance was measured by echocardiography (ultrasound examination of the heart) and a treadmill test. The severity of heart failure was also assessed by the standard grading system of the New York Heart Association (NYHA). The results of these studies with cellular nutrients were remarkable. The synergistic action of Dr. Rath’s cellular nutrients improved heart pumping function on average by 20% and improved the patients’ health condition by more than one grade on the NYHA scale. In addition, we observed a 100% improvement in severe fatigue and a 70% improvement in shortness of breath. After six months of the study, 50% of patients could lead lives without any discomfort.
