Case Studies:


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

#1: In a very interesting heart case, a fifty-five-year-old Asian male who experienced chest pain so severe he could barely walk came to Dr. Virender Sodhi's office. The man was told by other physicians prior to meeting with Dr. Sodhi that he should get bypass surgery as soon as possible or the consequences could be fatal. Dr. Sodhi ran a battery of tests on the man and found from angiographic studies that the patient's coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart) were blocked-the left main coronary artery was 90 percent blocked and the anterior descending was 80 percent narrowed. Blood test indicated elevated cholesterol levels at 278 and decreased HDL (good cholesterol) at 38.

Dr. Sodhi determined the patient to have a pitta-kapha body type and started him on a cleansing program that included a change of diet, and appropriate herbs. After three months, the man's cholesterol levels dropped more than 30 percent and HDL's rose to 48. Moreover, the man's exercise tolerance dramatically improved and he became able to walk longer distances and to jog on the treadmill with no symptoms. EKG (electrocardiogram) reading have shown improvement in the man's cardiovascular system.
