Study: Heart Bypasses and Stents May Cause Mental Decline

Sunday, November 6, 2011

829.html

Doctors and patients have noticed for decades that after both heart bypass

surgery and angioplasty procedures to implant stents, some patients exhibit

a decline in mental skills. Now a new German study shows that, indeed,

patients who have either invasive bypass surgery or less-invasive stenting

procedures for blocked arteries suffer a decline in memory and thinking

skills a few months later.

The study, published in the American Heart Journal, studied 47 patients who

were undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and 37 patients who

were getting a stent placed.

Before surgery, both groups of patients, who were in their 60s and 70s,

underwent a series of cognitive tests along with 33 healthy volunteers who

served as controls. Three months after surgery, all three groups were tested

again.

The test scores of patients who underwent coronary bypass dropped on seven

of the 10 tests compared to the controls. Scores of those in the stent group

decreased on two tests.

The researchers said the study didn't show how much impact the decline in

mental skills had on the average patient's everyday life, but even a small

cognitive decline in some patients could mean the difference between being

independent and needing assistance.

Still, some experts weren't convinced that either procedure caused the

mental decline. As to the difference in test scores between bypass and

stents, they said those who underwent the more invasive bypass probably had

more severe atherosclerosis than those who underwent stenting.

Patients who are treated with CABG are often in a worse state of health with

more plaque buildup, than those who undergo stenting, they said. The study

results could be that " cognitive decline after these procedures more relates

to the severity of the atherosclerosis than the procedure itself, " Dr. Mark

Newman of Duke University Medical Center, told Reuter's Health. " I think

that's still a debate, " said Newman, who wasn't involved in the study.

Still, the rate of CABG surgeries has been declining. According to a study

in the Journal of the American Medical Association, bypass surgeries dropped

by a third in 2008 compared to 2001, while the rate of angioplasty

procedures to implant stents remained steady.

The best course of action is to keep your heart healthy so there will be no

need for either procedure. " Relatively simple changes can help keep your

heart in peak condition, " says Dr. Blaylock, editor of the Blaylock

Wellness Report.

Blaylock recommends these nutritional changes to protect your heart:

.. Eat five to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day (mainly

high-nutrient dense vegetables, such as broccoli, greens, cauliflower,

Brussels sprouts, and kale).

.. Avoid excess sugar.

.. Drink purified water or white tea.

.. Increase the intake of good fats (DHA) and avoid bad fats (omega-6 fats).

.. Avoid seafood high in mercury. " Studies have shown that people with heart

failure have heart mercury levels far higher than normal, " Blaylock said.

.. Take CoQ10. " CoQ10 is a major energy molecule for the heart, and statin

drugs that lower cholesterol can severely reduce levels of CoQ10, " Blaylock

said.

my experience with clots has been a side effect of surgery. some minor strokes

Serrapeptase works smoothly in my experience. I was so plugged I suffered from

arrythmia and 6 weeks later I had zero symptoms.

Doctor said my heart was better than his.

A few years ago, I started waking up with cold arms and tingly hands, and a

change of mattress only made the situation slightly less intense. I started

taking Dr. Wong's enzyme formula, Zymessence, and the problem went away. I

didn't even space the dosages throughout the day; I just took three of them

right before bed. That's made me a firm believer in systemic enzymes for

circulation issues.

[Guest guest]

what you and I accept as working are obviously different.. I am an empiricist

and if I spontaneously no longer need a CABG I suspect it wasnt spontaneous - it

was the serrapeptase.

I also think ing was a wise old man and I will listen to him before

listening to the AMA and their statin nonsense. I am all for double blind

studies but

unlike Skinner I dont believe you need to cut the heads off a dozen dogs to

infer a connection between death and decapitation.

Something is wrong with " science " in my estimation.

Could you please clarify what in your perception is " credible evidense "

please?

There are studies galore about serrapeptase that are peer-reviewed,

double-blind, etc It is not even difficult to find them with a very simple

google search.

You will also find several studies by Dr Neiper if you google him

Dr. Hans Alfred Nieper

late of Hannover, Germany, was an oncologist consulted by prominent persons

including Red Buttons, Yul Brynner and Reagan. He was president of the

German Society of Oncology. Dr.Nieper was outspoken against fluoridation, as

witnessed in his book " Revolution in Medizin und Gesundheit. " His last work was a

German translation, with commentary, of Ralph Moss' " Questioning Chemotherapy. "

I am in a hurry and only looked at 3 of the listings - this one has 9

references

The Wonders of Serrapeptase

http://www.serrapeptase.org/serrapeptase-research/the-wonders-of-serrapeptase/

And then there are references to studies thoughout some of the artilcles such as

Seiichi Nakamura with his team of Japanese researchers conducted research on the

effects of Serrapeptase particularly on chronic airway disease. After four weeks

of study, patients of chronic airway disease who were treated with Serrapeptase

showed unexpectedly great recovery and improvement. This was reported in the 8th

September, 2003's issue of Respirology.

Similarly, another study was published in the `International Journal of Oral and

Maxillofacial Surgery' in March 2008. This study demonstrated the fact that the

use of Serrapeptase after dental surgeries can greatly reduce inflammation and

pain.

Another publication that serves as evidence to the efficacy of Serrapeptase is

the `Minerva Cardioangiologica' of Italy. An Italian team of researchers from

the University of Naples published this piece stating that this enzyme can play

an important role in overcoming weakness, reducing swelling and reducing

nighttime cramps. Patients suffering from inflammatory venous disease can easily

take this enzyme and reduce their pain and swelling (2).

Serrapeptase dissolves non-living tissues within the body which includes blood

clots. It is also capable of reducing the blood level of neutrophils. These two

functions of the enzyme are quite helpful in treating diseases related to

respiratory disorders. COPD and emphysema are two of the major diseases that can

be treated by this enzyme.

In `Natural Therapies for Emphysema and COPD', author J. Green stated

that neutrophils in the immune system are responsible for fighting infections.

However, their excessive accumulation at the areas of inflammation can harm the

healthy tissues in those areas. The anti-inflammatory elements in Serrapeptase

are therefore quite helpful in relieving inflammation and pain brought on by the

accumulation of neutrophils. On the other hand, the mucolytic elements in

Serrapeptase are helpful in thinning the sputum which reduces the chances of

accumulation of thick mucus.

-------

Serrapeptase for Infections Related to Implants:

It is common for the human body to develop infections in the surrounding areas

of orthopedic devices that are inserted in the body. In most cases, these

infections pose a great threat to the body. Therefore, doctors usually remove

the devices if infections are developed. In this context, a study was carried on

by a team of Turkish researchers in order to see the effects of Serrapeptase on

such infections.

The Research:

The research included drilling holes in the right femurs of 60 rats in total.

Poymethylmethacrylate cement was used to fill the cavities. In addition, there

was a Kirschner wire attached which was connected to the knee joints as well.

After these two things were attached, each rat was injected with staphylococcus

epidermidis. 20 of the rats died after 14 days because of the infection. 40 rats

that were alive were then separated into two groups:

•The first group was treated with antibiotics along with Serrapeptase

•The second group was to be treated with antibiotics and saline solution

injections

The conclusions of this research were published in June, 2006 in the `Journal of

Bone and Joint Surgery'. The conclusions were that the group which was treated

with Serrapeptase was able to survive because the infection was eliminated.

-------------

Chronic lung disease and mucus

Effect of the proteolytic enzyme serrapeptase in patients with chronic airway

disease.

Respirology. 2003.

We investigated the effect of 30 mg/day on sputum properties and symptoms in

patients with chronic airway diseases. After 4 weeks of treatment, sputum weight

in the morning, percentage solid component, viscosity and elasticity of sputum,

sputum neutrophil count, frequency of coughing and frequency of expectoration

significantly decreased.

---

Jaw pain and swelling after dental surgery

Effect of the proteolytic enzyme serrapeptase on swelling, pain and trismus

after surgical extraction of mandibular third molars.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2008.

Twenty-four healthy individuals with symmetrically impacted mandibular third

molars underwent surgical removal in a prospective, intra-individual,

randomized, double-blind, cross-over study. Teeth were removed in 2 sessions by

the same surgeon. At each session, one third molar was removed under local

anaesthesia via a buccal osteotomy. All patients received a combination of

either serrapeptase 5mg or placebo tablets and 1000 mg paracetamol tablets at

either the 1st or 2nd operation in accordance with the randomization plan. There

was a significant reduction in the extent of cheek swelling and pain intensity

in the serrapeptase group at the 2nd, 3rd and 7th postoperative days, but no

significant difference in mean maximal interincisal distance was found between

the 2 groups.

Serrapeptase or serratiopeptidase research study

A preliminary trial of serratiopeptidase in patients with carpal tunnel

syndrome.

J Assoc Physicians India. 1999.

Twenty patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated clinically. After

baseline electrophysiological studies, these patients were given serrapeptase 10

mg twice daily with initial short course of nimesulide. Clinical and

electrophysiological reassessment was done after 6 weeks. Sixty five percent of

serrapeptase cases showed significant clinical improvement which was supported

by improvement in electrophysiological parameters. Recurrence was reported in

four cases. No significant side effect was observed. Serrapeptase therapy may

proved to be a useful alternative mode of conservative treatment.

Evaluation of Serratia peptidase in acute or chronic inflammation of

otorhinolaryngology pathology: a multicentre, double-blind, randomized trial

versus placebo.

University of Naples, Italy.

J Int Med Res. 1990.

The efficacy and tolerability of serrapeptase were evaluated in 193 subjects

suffering from acute or chronic ear, nose or throat disorders. After 4 days'

treatment significant symptom regression was observed in treated patients. There

was also a significant reduction in symptoms after 8 days for patients in both

treatment groups but the response was more marked in those patients receiving

the active drug. It is concluded that serrapeptase has anti-inflammatory,

anti-edemic and fibrinolytic activity and acts rapidly on localized inflammation

----

Reduction of postoperative swelling. Objective measurement of swelling of the

upper ankle joint in treatment with serrapeptase -- a prospective study

Fortschr Med. 1989.

Using a quantitative standardized procedure, the swelling of the ankle produced

by supination trauma was measured. In the 66 patients with fresh rupture of the

lateral ligament treated surgically at our Department between December 1986 and

April 1987, a prospective study of the effect of serrapeptase (Aniflazym) on

post-operative swelling and pain was carried out in 3 randomized groups of

patients. In the group receiving serrapeptase, the swelling had decreased by 50%

on the third post-operative day, while in the other two control groups

(elevation of the leg, bed rest, with and without the application of ice) no

reduction in swelling had occurred at that time. Decreasing pain correlated for

the most part with the reduction in swelling. Thus, the patients receiving the

test substance more rapidly became pain-free than did the control groups. On the

basis of these results, serrapeptase would appear to be an effective preparation

for the post-operative reduction of swelling, in comparison with the classical

conservative measures, for example, the application of ice.

In 1947, Dr. Arnold Renshaw from Manchester took the initiative of testing

Serrapeptase to cure arthritis. In the ls of Rheumatic Diseases, he reported

that he treated 700 patients of fibrositis, rheumatoid arthritis or

osteoarthritis and the results were marvelous. He narrated, " This therapy was

also found effective for patients with Still's disease and ankylosing

spondylitis " . It did not end here. He also added that 283 patients out of 556

with different types of arthritis showed great recovery and 21 patients showed

slight recovery. 264 patients out of 292 of rheumatoid arthritis showed great

recovery. Most of the patients started showing recovery after two months of the

treatment. Some patients who have had the disease for quite some time took more

than 2 months to show recovery.
