www.waterhealstheworld.com Serrapeptase is apparently active in the cleaning of coronary arteries from occluding layers. Serrapeptase is an enzyme produced by serratia bacteria living on silkworms. With this enzyme the worms melt a hole out of the cocoon. Unlike other enzymes in the field of biology, Serrapeptase dissolves dead tissue like or fibrinoid layers in the arteries which chemically could be compared to silk. A special problem in todays civilized society is occluding processes in the carotid arteries of the neck. Serrapeptase can be used in cases of severe narrowing of the carotid arteries. Often in patients showing severe symptoms due to the narrowing, including amaurosis fugax (intermittent blindness). The therapeutic results are excellent, certainly lifesaving. It is, however, mandatory that the therapy be conducted for a very long time. The first reliable results can be expected after 6-8 months. Even after month 18, after the onset of the therapy, the patients are improving. Serrapeptase has been found to be an extraordinary substance for safety removing fibrous blockages from coronary arteries, particularly the carotid arteries found in the neck, which supply blood brain. Serrapeptase is a natural enzyme produced by serratia bacteria living in silkworms. Once the silkworm has completed its transformation into a moth, it uses this substance to melt a hole in its cocoon, so that it can escape. http www.waterhealstheworld.com

Choosing a fellowship is an exciting, albeit stressful time in a young surgeons career. An applicant should look for a program that has an adequate volume and distribution of surgical and interventional procedures. That is, infra-renal aortic and thoracic stentgrafts, diagnostic and therapeutic peripheral interventions, open aortic reconstructions, infrainguinal bypass, and carotid-based procedures, including carotid stenting. Each program will have a different distribution as well as an increased participation in either open or endovascular treatments.

A new study led by Mayo Clinic researchers has found that relief of pain from vertebral compression fractures, as well as improvement in pain-related dysfunction, were similar in patients treated with vertebroplasty and those treated with simulated vertebroplasty without cement injections. The article, “A Randomized Controlled Trial of Vertebroplasty for Osteoporotic Spine Fractures,” was released today in the New England Journal of Medicine. Vertebroplasty is a widely applied procedure in which medical cement is injected into the spine to relieve pain and improve function in patients who have osteoporotic fractures. This study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, was the first of its kind, using a double-blinded research model to examine the impact of vertebroplasty. “Though the medical community has been using vertebroplasty for many years, there were no research results to prove whether the efficacy of the treatment relates to the cement injections, patient expectations, or other factors,” says the study’s leader, David Kallmes, MD, a Mayo Clinic physician who specializes in radiology and neurosurgery. “The cement is a permanent medical implant, and there is some concern that it places patients at future risk for additional spinal fractures.”

Originated in Japan by the famous Joshi Puroresu wrestler Mariko Yoshida, the “Spider Twist” is a unique and very hard manuever to escape from. A multi-tiered submission manuever, it applies extreme tension to the head, neck, and upper back – as well as causing enough pressure on the Carotid Arteries and Jugular Veins in the neck to knock the victim out cold. Hence, why I brought the move to America and named it “15 Seconds of Fame” – because there’s no way in hell anyone will last longer than 15 seconds in the hold.
