Latest / Ageless and Timeless Podcast® / Amy Saphic, Dr. Sam
Transcript
- 0:08Good morning everyone. This is Michelle Hughes from Ageless and Timeless. Today,
- 0:13I have two guests that I've met recently in December, and actually I met
- 0:19one of the guests and the other one I'm meeting today for the first time
- 0:22with you. My first guest is Amy Amy. Do you say your name
- 0:27spay Hick? Is that it's spoh? That is that Hungarian? Or it's
- 0:33Bosnian? Bosnia? Oh wow? And then my other guests, who I
- 0:38have not met until this morning is well, I should say, I'm meeting
- 0:43him right now with you. And he is the medical director with Amy for
- 0:47Heartcare. And his name is doctor Sam and doctor Sam Fillingame. That's great,
- 0:54Okay. What nationality is that? English? English? So we have
- 1:00the United Nations represented here today. Well, thank you very much for joining
- 1:04us. This is really a pleasure, and let me just give a little
- 1:07background to who you are, why we are gathered together to talk about everything
- 1:15to do with the heart today, which the name of the company will tell
- 1:19you that that's our main focus. It's called, as I mentioned, Heartcare
- 1:23Corporation. Um So, so what happened is that the show in December at
- 1:30the American Academy of anti aging. I was walking, just walking along the
- 1:36show, and I saw this one booze and I don't know what happened,
- 1:40but there was an intuition. My my intuition said you need to stop here,
- 1:46and so I stopped and I did the test and Amy was there and
- 1:49she did actually did the test. I mean the test that they do is
- 1:53called ms MCG and it means multi function Cardiograph correct right ult cardiogram Crediograham.
- 2:04I'm sorry, and so what I want to tell everybody that's viewing us today
- 2:09this is probably the most efficacious and important and compelling test for you to do
- 2:17for your heart. And if your doctor doesn't know about it, then after
- 2:22today's podcast, please please let your doctor know about them. You can look
- 2:27them up on their website and also on my website because we all have some
- 2:34information there. But so so let me just let them tell you what the
- 2:38test is. But before we start that, because I wanted to just let
- 2:42you know who who doctor Sam and Amy are. So. Amy has a
- 2:46really fascinating background. When she was in her teens, her father had a
- 2:51huge heart attack and that kind of turned Amy's life around because she decided at
- 2:55that point that she was going to focus her energy and education and all her
- 3:04efforts on heartcare. Is that Is that a good way to describe it?
- 3:07Amy? It was like life changing for you, right, Yes, it
- 3:10is. When I was fifteen, he had a quadruple bypass, and you
- 3:15know, I was mad because his heart grew another artery of branch out of
- 3:20the outside on the side of his right heart. And we were taught that,
- 3:23you know, the heart can't reverse itself, and we're finding that,
- 3:27yes, your heart is a muscle and it does reverse. So I was
- 3:30mad. You know, we don't have anything for early detection or early prevention
- 3:34to stop that from or catch up before it even happens for a lot of
- 3:38families. Doctor Shen Joseph T. Shen from Premiere Heart. He's the developer
- 3:43of the MCG and he actually was cracking the code cardiovascular micro cardiovascular disease with
- 3:51the MCG the same time that I was drawing the machine. So we have
- 3:54a really good connection with our mission to save lives. Isn't that amazing though,
- 4:00how life works? I mean truly that you know, what has meant,
- 4:04what is supposed to happen will happen. I mean, the fact that
- 4:08you and he were aligned at a comfortable time in life and that you came
- 4:15together. That's the amazing part that you It's like miraculous that you would meet
- 4:19each other. And doctor Sam, how did you get involved with Amy?
- 4:25Well, I've been spending the better part of my thirty four years in practice
- 4:30working with cardiovascular risk reduction. I had three patients that passed away back to
- 4:34back in my earlier days in practice from heart attacks, and they died slowly,
- 4:40and it completely devastated me. So I went out and got all the
- 4:45training I could possibly find to become better at reducing events, and shortly thereafter
- 4:53I got pretty good at it. It wasn't long after that I started teachings.
- 4:58I've spent the better part of twenty five years teaching across the nation these
- 5:02tools that I've learned to not only stop the progression of the disease, but
- 5:06to reverse the disease. And meanwhile used multiple devices to help me in my
- 5:14detection disease, but I've never seen the device that could do with this one
- 5:18did. This is the biggest breakthrough we've had in thirty years in cardiovascua disease.
- 5:23This is going to be a game changer when he gets in the hands
- 5:27of physicians and they learn how to use it and then learn how to do
- 5:30disease reversal. That's that's amazing. So you know how and then how did
- 5:35you any amy find each other through a mutual connection with doctor chen I genuinely
- 5:45and you'n amy, And he put us together because he thought we'd make a
- 5:46good fit. Next chality, we make a wonderful hit. And you so
- 5:51you are the chief medical officer, correct, that is correct? And I
- 5:57love what I do. So so okay, So and you're you're a chiropractor
- 6:01or he says he oh, umtastopath, which is you know a little more.
- 6:10It's a lot more senior than than than chiropractor. Right, so you
- 6:15I'm a physician. The ultra physicians m deser positions. We we prescribe to
- 6:19everything else. Same Doctor Shen is a medical doctor, right, Amy,
- 6:26Yes, he's an electro physiologist. Background. He's the one I met at
- 6:30the show. He was standing there chatting away at everybody. Oh no,
- 6:34not doctor Shen. Oh okay, who was the one I met? It
- 6:38was he was a vice president then or um that that is Yuel Glenn.
- 6:43He is the CEO of Heartcare Corps. Okay, he's the CEO. Okay,
- 6:47so what is your exact titled? And amy founder? I'm the founder
- 6:51of Heartcare Corp. And the chief clinical officer okay. And and and doctor
- 6:57Sam he's also a co founder, is a founder in chief medical usher.
- 7:01Very good, Okay, So let's dive in. This is really important information.
- 7:05So tell us first the science behind MCG. How does it qualify for
- 7:13FDA approvals? I know you've been working, you've worked on so give us
- 7:17a little bit more of the history of why this We're going to talk more
- 7:23about what it is, but why it is scientifically sound. Let sell this
- 7:29machine span development for over twenty four years now, and it's worked through a
- 7:33large database of seriously ill cardiovascur patients. It's been tested on over two million
- 7:39patients, and it received FDA approval years ago. It won the top award
- 7:46in the Innovation of the Year in American Heart Association in twenty seventeen. Would
- 7:51have gone on the market in two and twenty, but COVID hitn't that stifled
- 7:57the ability to go with this out on the market, so it was delayed
- 8:01a couple of years and we just started introduced this to physicians and it's it's
- 8:05it was slow starting to begin with, because it's a new technology. It
- 8:09takes doctors a few months to kind of the cipher and see for themselves what
- 8:15this does. But it's begin to take off in class four or five months.
- 8:20And so we've been incredibly busy teaching doctor group, actor doctor group how
- 8:24this works. And the schedule is is is almost beyond me. Now,
- 8:33well, you started during COVID. I'm starting to go to you know,
- 8:37promote this in the time when doctors were focused on other things. So it
- 8:43must have been a bit challenging, right to try to present when doctors were
- 8:48distracted by COVID patients that needed more immediate care. And even though heart disease
- 8:54was one of the conditions in COVID that caused people to get COVID re exists.
- 9:00So it is kind of a catch twenty two that you would have to
- 9:03have faced those challenges when actually your technology would have helped to prevent some COVID
- 9:11pieces correct, it would have helped tremendously. In fact, with the disease
- 9:18itself, it caused a vasculitis, it also caused a lot of card eumopathies
- 9:22and myocarditis. This machine sees all of that, and it sees it in
- 9:28early stages and so we could have seen it from the beginnings of when it
- 9:31started to hurt the patient tool it was resolving with proper treatment. So you
- 9:37can use this device to see if your medical management's working and we don't have
- 9:41any other tools that do that. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gigenics.
- 9:46From stem cell therapy to lifestyle coaching, Gigenics is the perfect place to
- 9:52go for all your health and wellness needs. This health clinic is amazing at
- 9:58getting you personalized medicine and wellness that is unique to you. Use the code
- 10:03ageless and you'll get twenty percent off your first service with them. Go to
- 10:09www dot g gen x q I g E n i x dot com to
- 10:16find out more information about these powerful methods. So let's talk about the machine
- 10:22itself. So I'm one of your victims and knows that you know, I
- 10:28was hesitant. I didn't know what it was. They're putting all these probes
- 10:31on the sensors on you, and really it's painless and it's only what fifteen
- 10:39or twenty minutes, and you're reading a person's entire heart energy and any blockages.
- 10:48So tell me, let's let's talk more with everybody here today too,
- 10:52so they understand what the MCG does. Whatever we're entering your world, do
- 10:58you wouldn't do it in I'll just say the patient party what they see when
- 11:03they come in. So the MCG is a ten minute scan. We do
- 11:07five scans of eighty two seconds each. There's a clamp that goes on each
- 11:11wrist, each ankle, and a lead that goes on V five which is
- 11:15under the left chest area outer part of the chest. And you lay there
- 11:20comfortable, you try not to fall asleep. We don't have any cell phones
- 11:24near you or any metals that can interfere with the machine. And it's six
- 11:28minutes twenty two seconds. We get the whole total of your microvascular hearth help
- 11:35and once we upload that scans to the internet, we get your report immediate.
- 11:39It's all based on AI. And then doctor Sam, you can continue.
- 11:45Yes, I think artificial intelligence isn't an end to all parts of life
- 11:48now, and it's certainly not a stranger to medicine. It's never entered into
- 11:52this world before though, and this artificial intelligence allows us to use signal processing
- 11:58techniques basically look at a frequency domain. It's it's not like an ordinary KG
- 12:03where you go on a time based mechanisment. Long story short, we're seeing
- 12:07things that we could have never seen Elsewhy is the all of the technologies that
- 12:13are out there today will only detect the disease and it gets into later stages
- 12:18when a person is in quite a bit of trouble. And the problem with
- 12:22that is two thirds of heart attacks occur before they get to that stage,
- 12:24because two thirds of heart attacks occur due to plaque rupture, a smaller exclusive
- 12:30disease. So you could have a vessel that's thirty to fifty percent blocked and
- 12:33it ruptures, and that's the number one cause of heart attacks that we have
- 12:35today. So there was no technology that would catch these people, and we
- 12:39now have something they'll do that. Now this machine goes way past just detecting
- 12:45with the blockage of arteries is seen. It actually sees when a heart becomes
- 12:50stiffened. And so there are several different pathways that a heart becomes stiffened in
- 12:56the way that it leads toward heart failure. So we can see the two
- 13:00different pathways and we can begin to do something about it and then plan our
- 13:03therapy around that and see if it's working. It sees congenital defects. So
- 13:09many people are born with birth defects in the heart and had no idea,
- 13:13but this actually picks up on that and it gives us some clues whether we
- 13:16need to work on that. You can basically look at the information here and
- 13:20listen to the heart two different value of the areas that actually will be pronounced
- 13:24with murmurs if you actually have these problems, and so it gives a doctor
- 13:30some cluesive how to address that. And then also this device picks up on
- 13:33global asynchrony, which has to do with one side of the heart tracking before
- 13:37the other side because of blood supply issues. It picks up on mitochondrial dysfunction
- 13:43which has to do with the energy and the cells. And it sees myocardidas,
- 13:48which is a big thing in many different ways of going disease state going
- 13:54on on it. And it also tells us when we have myocard or remodeling,
- 14:00which is to do with the heart stiffening and scar tissue related to zarious
- 14:03disease states. And so when you start adding all this information together, there's
- 14:09so much we can do. There's almost nine hundred thousand people a year that
- 14:13have heart disease to the point of heart attacks, and many of those succumb
- 14:18to that, and we can basically identify them earlier, we can begin stopping
- 14:22the great majority of those three hundred thousand people a year die from heart failure,
- 14:28and five million people in United States alone have to deal with it.
- 14:31Wouldn't it be nice if we had six or eight years warning so we could
- 14:35prevent that before ever occurred. Possibly these heart failures would have never had to
- 14:39occur if we knew that they were coming and we did something about it.
- 14:43And so rhythm disturbances, it actually sees a rhythm disturbance before it happens.
- 14:48You always hear about that patient that went to sleep and didn't wake up,
- 14:52and you just assume that they succumbed to heart something. But some of those
- 14:58patients succome to venture defibrillation, which is basically the heart rhythm disturbance that occurs
- 15:03for to six in the morning when you're adrenaline levels are at the lowest part
- 15:07of the day, so they just go to sleep and never wake up.
- 15:09That we actually can see a person that's potentially going in that direction that we
- 15:13can put a defibrillator in before it actually happens, if that's necessary. So
- 15:18the tools are endless here, and that's why I said this is the biggest
- 15:20development cardiovast disease in over thirty years. So would you say the uniqueness of
- 15:28your MCG is the AI or is there something further than that that makes you
- 15:35different differentiates you from whatever else is out there. You can never do what
- 15:41this machine did without artificial intelligence, and so yes, that's what makes it
- 15:45unique. I'm sure that there are going to be many aspects of medicine that
- 15:48we use artificial intelligence to break through barriers that we had. But this took
- 15:54twenty three years, twenty four years in the development to get to the stage.
- 15:58It's quite common implicated to figure out what each of these peaks stand for
- 16:03and then quantify them and then get them sensitive enough to pass through the muster
- 16:07of testing. But there's eleven different tests now that are peer reviewed that show
- 16:14how well this machine works. They were done in the United States, but
- 16:18they were also done a number of other countries on four different continents, and
- 16:22so this device has been incredibly well studied and that artificial intelligence is a deal
- 16:30breakers or in this case, a dealmaker, right, So what else is
- 16:36technologically is potentially going to happen to it continued to improve your technology, well,
- 16:45artificial intelligence just gets smarter as the date goes on. So the more
- 16:48uses it has, the smarter it yets. It's already if you compare this
- 16:55to the present technologies, it's already more sensitive and more specific than every technology
- 17:00out there. So it's already superior to anything on the market. In fact,
- 17:04there's nothing even close. But it's only had two million studies. If
- 17:10you let this thing go out on the market like it's doing now, it
- 17:11will be no time at all. Of this will have ten million studies and
- 17:15thirty million studies and fifty million studies, and the amount of learning that takes
- 17:21place with our efficient tels, it's just going to get better. It will
- 17:22get more and more specific to the point it will be ridiculously good at picking
- 17:27up details, and it's going to help save countless lives. Anticipate in the
- 17:33approximately five years, every year in America will have one of these because you
- 17:37can actually detect who's having a heart attack and who's not within ten minutes at
- 17:41the time they get to the station to the hospital. We're actually looking at
- 17:45some emergency management systems with ambulances, putting the machines on the ambulances so you
- 17:52actually have them test available when you get to the hospital because transit times for
- 17:56some places is over twenty minutes. Being said, every clinic in America should
- 18:03have one of these in ten years. Once you start getting this available to
- 18:07the levels I'm talking about, that's about five to six hundred thousand people a
- 18:11year that are dying today that won't be dying in six to eight to ten
- 18:15years, depending on how long it takes us to get out here. But
- 18:18when you go to your doctor's office now, you almost expect them to have
- 18:21an EKG because that's just standard. But I suspect eight or ten years this
- 18:26will be replacing every EKG that's out there, So everywhere you would use an
- 18:30EKG would use this. I'm very excited about what it does for women's heart
- 18:34disease because women have been in a precarious situation for years because forty nine percent
- 18:40of women have small vessel disease before they get large vessel disease, and they
- 18:44will carry that small vessel disease on for six to eight years, and it
- 18:48makes them incredibly fatigued and they get some shortness of breath with exertion with that,
- 18:52but it's not detectable by any device on the market today, and so
- 18:56these patients, these women will have hardcasts and be told that there's nothing that
- 19:00can be found, there's zero percent blockage, and six months later they'll be
- 19:04in the er with one hundred percent blockage. Because what happens when they get
- 19:07to critical stage disease. Something flips a switch in the women and they go
- 19:11from zero percent blockage to one hundred percent blockage in two to three vessels in
- 19:17six months time. Why why is that, doctor Sam, It's a million
- 19:22dollar question. I wish I had the answer for nobody knows what flips the
- 19:26switch, but we know what happens in the advanced stages. So it's usually
- 19:29when a person gets to that extreme fatigue. But it's one of the reasons
- 19:33that women go undetected more often than men because you have to catch them in
- 19:37that six month window when they go from zero percent to one hundred percent,
- 19:41and they tend to get studied in that high fatigue level when they don't have
- 19:45any blockage and so it has been throwing off our system. But now we
- 19:48actually have the ability to see it with this device because this machine see small
- 19:52vessels ease extremely well. In fact, you just can't miss it. So
- 19:57now that we've got some way of detecting this, we can tell a female
- 20:02patient that they're having trouble and this is what's doing it. Now that same
- 20:04process happens in fifteen percent of men, so it's not exclusive to women.
- 20:08Fifteen percent of men do the same thing, but it's just much more common,
- 20:12so we're three times more common in women. So it's been a real
- 20:17bothersome problem for years that we finally have a solution to. You think it
- 20:22has something with women to do with hormones. Could it could, But that
- 20:29wouldn't explain the fifteen percent of men that do it. But there's probably some
- 20:33co variant factors and some genetics that play into it. But it's something that's
- 20:40going to need to be study in the future. We didn't actually know that
- 20:44this was for sure occurred until two thousand and seven and it was published in
- 20:47circulation and they finished the study in twenty thirteen and it continued to show the
- 20:52same parameters, so there was periods of times there that doctors argued over the
- 20:57fact where the small vessels is easy existed, but that arguments it's going now
- 21:02it's called microvascular disease or small vessel disease. And maybe what about diet and
- 21:08nutrition? What influence does that have not only on the small vessel disease but
- 21:15just overall on Harthouse? So what do you what is your composal to your
- 21:22clinics about teaching their patient the doctor's patients about better better diet. Diet's going
- 21:30to play a huge factor. Now you have to funderstand I spent the better
- 21:33part of my last twenty five years, almost twenty eight taking care of nothing
- 21:38about high risk cardiovascular patients, and I would get ninety and ninety five percent
- 21:42blocked arteries on a regular basis, and they would almost every single one reverse
- 21:48and go back to essentially no blockage. In the way that was done was
- 21:52knowing that there were ten disease states that create inflammation. It's all about inflammation,
- 21:56and the patient that controls the inflammation wins. Inflammation gets within the artery,
- 22:02and once it gets within the artery, it causes a signal to go
- 22:06out. It is called a chemokinans the chemokind that brings the fat into the
- 22:10cell. So if fat never enters a blood vessel until it gets an invitation,
- 22:15to invitation is from inflammation that secretes a chemical called a chemokinda. That
- 22:19being said, when a person has dietary issues taken with this, it's usually
- 22:23related to insulin resistance that gets Listen trouble because when you're born and you're normal
- 22:30and you have no instular resistance, you can eat up to ninety grams of
- 22:33carbs on a four hour basis and you can get away with it. But
- 22:36once you become insulent resistant, that carbon tolerance goes down from ninety to twenty
- 22:41five grams every four hours. And so when a person's trying to eat under
- 22:45twenty five grams of carbs are I have to really concentrate on it because that's
- 22:48not easy. And so most of the patients that are instant resistant don't know
- 22:52they're resistance. There's a large growing number of patients with obesi and obest Central
- 22:59obestia comes from eating excess carbohydrates beyond your tolerance. So your carbohydrate tolers was
- 23:04it ninety grams when you started, it went to fort went down to twenty
- 23:07five grams, and then you start flipping that switch over and over. Every
- 23:11time you flip that switch, your liver is making fat and inflammatory factors for
- 23:15four days. So if we missed today, it would be essentially Monday before
- 23:21the liver stopped making fat and inflammation. And what we just said, it's
- 23:25inflammation that brings the fat in. So the reason insular existence and diabetes is
- 23:30such a big deal is because it's the perfect storm. Every time you over
- 23:33eat carbs, you make both. If you're making a lot of inflammation and
- 23:37you're making a lot of bad fats natural safety, you're going to have cardiovasturs
- 23:41he is occurring from it. So we have to teach the populations that carbohydrates
- 23:45are essentially a poison. As you get older and you commence resistance, Now
- 23:51you say, well, how many people are into resistant America or there's some
- 23:53considerations that approximately seventy percent of people over the age of twenty have some degree
- 23:57of insular resistance. There's over nine hundred genes in a body that relate to
- 24:03that. How do you tell I mean, how do you measure insulin resistance?
- 24:07I mean, obviously glucose and insulin our blood test that you can take.
- 24:12Look, is there anything I know? The HC what's it called?
- 24:17HC two? That test? And then there's something else I heard h O
- 24:29M A. But go ahead, I'm answering the question for you. Go
- 24:32ahead and tell us what are the ways that you determine because look, sixty
- 24:36eight percent our population is obese. That's that's that's where we're starting with a
- 24:41huge problem. The majority of doctors are doing it in an old school fashion
- 24:47or picking up on its resist and that's why we're picking it up late.
- 24:49If you use the hema glowing A ONEC is your main mean of detecting who's
- 24:53pretty diabetic and not you, you're picking on patients that are lost or forty
- 24:59percent of their beta cell function. We need to be doing things that pick
- 25:03it up earlier. Now HDL goes down earlier, triglyshrides goes up earlier,
- 25:07fasting insulin levels go up earlier. But truthfully, the number one test to
- 25:11see if a person has pre diabetes and INNS resistance is called an alpha hydroxybuturate
- 25:18test. And when you check an alpha hydroxybuturate you could just be an instant
- 25:22resistant. A few weeks and it's already clicked in. So if that level's
- 25:25elevated, you have instant resistance. But the nice thing about it is once
- 25:27you see that and you get them on a low carb diet and maybe some
- 25:32intermittent fasting, you can recheck that and you can see if the resistance has
- 25:36gone down or gone away. And so it's a major improvement in how you
- 25:41can look at this disease. But at the very least, we should be
- 25:42checking things like fasting insulin levels and looking at triglyceride levels that go above ninety
- 25:49and looking at HDO levels that fall below fifty, and that gives us so
- 25:55much better idea of who is developed inser restance, rather than waiting for the
- 26:00resistance to show up in the human goo when they and see, nobody would
- 26:03play a football game and give up forty points before they ever start the game.
- 26:07That would be ludicrous. But waiting for a patient at lose forty percent
- 26:11or beta cell function before you do anything about the disease, it makes no
- 26:15sense to me. You know, that's so interesting because a very few doctors
- 26:18ever test you for alpha hydroxy buttery, right, I mean, you go
- 26:22to a normal blood work and you're doing your panels and it's not even included.
- 26:27So why why is that? And how can you accomplish a very mainstream
- 26:33testing protocol to become mainstream to the doctor. It just takes longer. Years
- 26:41ago, I used to sell stereos in my dad's store before I again,
- 26:45in medical school, we learned about devices very quickly. When the new stereo
- 26:51had a new widget, everybody in the country that sold these stereos and knew
- 26:53about the widget three months. But medicine, the same thing takes ten to
- 26:59fifteen years. Physicians have tremendous amount of regulations over how they discuss things and
- 27:03what they do to disseminate information. So I think some of those regulations slow
- 27:08us down in our ability to exchange information. But eventually the job does get
- 27:14done. It just moves a lot slower than I would like it too.
- 27:17But yes, it would be wonderful for every doctor to know about alphydroxribut rates
- 27:23instantly once that became common knowledge. So here's another question that comes up all
- 27:30the time. It's cholesterol. So let's take a moment because I'm sure you've
- 27:33heard this before, but why could you just debump the cholesterol myth? For
- 27:38all of us today, and tell us what is the real culprit for the
- 27:45measurement when you're doing your blood lipid panel for measurement triglycerides though you just said
- 27:52is obviously the fast insulin and glucose tolerance, but what about just absolutely choless.
- 28:00Sure, why is it that so many doctors want to prescribe stating drugs
- 28:04for people who have cholesterol over two hundred when actually cholesterol is protective. And
- 28:11yesterday I was watching an internet show podcast and some guys that he was being
- 28:18interviewed by his doctor after doing some kind of change in his diet, and
- 28:23the doctor said, oh, your cholesterol is one fifty. And the doctor
- 28:29didn't even go into anything else besides you know, the particle size or the
- 28:34ratios. So just help us out because I think too many people are on
- 28:38statins that don't even need to be on statons. So you can help us
- 28:44there. Go back to what I just said earlier, cholesterol never enters a
- 28:48blood vessel without an invitation. The one who controls the inflammation wins. If
- 28:52a person had familial hyper libel propanemia, which I had thirty of those prices
- 28:56in my practice when I had to close down your several years ago when my
- 29:02wife guide him. Long story short, those patients had such bad cholesterol levels
- 29:06you couldn't measure it with the machines. When you actually ran their panels,
- 29:10it would say too high to read. So long, these patients had horrible
- 29:14chlesterral. But as long as I control the inflammation, I could control their
- 29:17disease. And the way you control inflammation, number one way is exercise aerobically.
- 29:22When you aerobically exercise a patient for fifty minutes non stop, and you
- 29:26get the heart rate up to the seventy percent level, that removes ninety three
- 29:29percent of the inflammation for a day. It will come back tomorrow, and
- 29:33then you exercise again tomorrow, but it's always coming back the next day and
- 29:37the next day and the next day. So what do you do. You
- 29:37exercise every day of the week. As long as I had those FH patients
- 29:42exercise in seven days a week, they didn't have worsening of their disease because
- 29:47basically there was no inflammation to invite the cholesterol in. Now that being said,
- 29:52it's not that cholesterol doesn't play a part in PARTI of extra is ease.
- 29:56If you have inflammation in the blood vessels. And you have bad fat
- 30:00DLC circulating in the bud stream, it will enter the vessel and when it
- 30:03enters the vessel, that is what causes plaque to be made. So there
- 30:07is a place for statins in certain patients, but the emphasis has to be
- 30:12shifted from just putting a person on a statin too controlling that inflammation, and
- 30:15doctors need to be measuring things that measure inflammation hscrps, fibrinogen levels, plaque
- 30:23two levels, milo peroxidase. These are all things that tell us about acute
- 30:27and chronic stages of the inflammatory process. When we look at those inflammatory responses,
- 30:33then we know a little bit more about what to do with cholesterol.
- 30:36And if you just look at cholesterol itself, you were talking about particle size
- 30:40and or thing that does make a difference when you actually have the majority of
- 30:42your cholesterol coming from your liver, that cholesterol that LDLC contains a lot more
- 30:48triglyceride than it does cholesterol. The C on the LDLC stands for cholesterol or
- 30:53measuring the cholesterol within the molecule. But the problem is that molecule is shifting
- 30:59in quantity. It is much much less cholesterol than it ever did before.
- 31:02It has much more triclyst ride than it ever did before. So the person's
- 31:07LDLC could be going down and it could be much much worse simply because you're
- 31:12not paying attention to the right part of the molecule. Now, looking at
- 31:15a total cholesterral is useless. You could have a high total chlesterral and be
- 31:19safe. You can have a low one and be in total danger. Right,
- 31:22Well, that's what I was. I was like shocked yesterday when I
- 31:26heard the one fifty and I said, well, that doesn't tell you anything.
- 31:30I mean, actually, maybe he was two sixty he got down to
- 31:33one fifty, But what happens to the protective aspect of all that cholesterol.
- 31:37It may have been that he was actually hurting himself more than helping if he
- 31:42didn't have all the other measurements that you've just described. So Amy, when
- 31:47you go on the road to these doctors, what is the most resistance you
- 31:52get from the doctors that you know? Obviously they're not all educated to your
- 31:56technology. So what do you find is the most challenging. Um The most
- 32:02challenging is the device is not recovered by insurance as as of right now.
- 32:08It was given a CPT code back in twenty twelve UM and it ordered for
- 32:15it to be covered. Physicians cannot do any kind of cardiovascular testing for six
- 32:20months after having this scan done. That's how accurate the scan is UM the
- 32:24MCG device. So that's that's the main focus on a lot of practices who
- 32:30just are insurance based. UM. But you know there there are physicians right
- 32:36now who feel that you know, insurance is not the best way to go
- 32:39and patients need to take control of their health. The test is inexpensive,
- 32:44it's cost efficient for patients to have done, and UM, you know,
- 32:47the physicians can do a super bill and have the patients get reimbursed through their
- 32:52insurance as an outpatient diagnostic test. So that's probably the biggest, biggest problem
- 33:00that I've been facing. Well. And also you could have your target market
- 33:04to go to concierge medicine clinics first or doctor individual practitioners first, because you
- 33:12know that they already expect the patient that you know, to pay out of
- 33:16pocket. So maybe that's I mean, I know you have a huge huge
- 33:22challenge because doctor Samu said it, I mean, the heart disease is the
- 33:28number one killer, and why hasn't it changed? You know, why hadn't
- 33:32technology? We can go to the move, but we can't cure the number
- 33:37one killer of human beings in our and our very technologically given society. They
- 33:44hadn't changed because we're not We don't have any devices on the market until this
- 33:47device that picked up disease early. So we're always playing last minute ketchup and
- 33:52that doesn't work, and especially if you're in an environment where a doctor doesn't
- 33:55know how to reverse disease. Now, very few doctors in medical clinics today
- 34:00are reversing disease. They're doing things to slow down progression of disease, and
- 34:05so we've got to teach that model on how to reverse disease. You can
- 34:07make ninety five percent blocked dirters go to eighty percent blocked dirties in a year,
- 34:12and you can make that eighty percent go down to sixty percent in another
- 34:15year, but you've got to know how to do that. So we have
- 34:16to dissimulate that information. But getting back to what they just said, this
- 34:21test cost on average about four hundred dollars per test to do. When you
- 34:24do a nuclear stress test, it costs about thirty five hundred dollars just to
- 34:29copay a loan of a nuclear stress test costs more than this test, and
- 34:32our device actually gives you a lot more information if you would be paying on
- 34:37average twenty percent for copay on that other test, which is around six hundred
- 34:40dollars versus the four hundred dollars this cost on a cash basis. So I
- 34:45don't really think cost is the factor, but I think it's a mindset.
- 34:49I think doctors hadn't thought through this completely because they're used to running their patients
- 34:52through with things that are covered on insurance and just a matter of time,
- 34:57we have a CPT code that actually covers this. But Carti Baccher these skills
- 35:01more than the next four causes of death put together. It takes if you
- 35:06took every cancer in the world put together, and then you added the next
- 35:08three causes of death with that, Carti Baccher these skills more than all those
- 35:13diseases. So it's it's definitely got to be target number one. So the
- 35:16fact you don't have a CPT coating you would even hesitate for one billy second
- 35:22makes no sense to me, because this particular product needs to get out on
- 35:24the market. It needs to be used. It's have you have you ancient?
- 35:30Are you know doing work for the government as the military, And of
- 35:36course now with all the myocardidis has come after the COVID pandemic, it would
- 35:42seem to me that this would be a place to get your feet your foot
- 35:47in the door, so to speak. How has that approach done gone?
- 35:52If you've made that approach, We're talking to all those people and we're basically
- 35:58talking to anyone that wants to listen. And at first it went slow because
- 36:02it's new technology. It was unusual. A lot of doctors like to wait
- 36:07till someone down the street hasn't tested before they do. But there's earlier doctors
- 36:10out there. We're finding them. And once the earlier doctors get to use
- 36:15this and they have the amount of success I know they will, it's just
- 36:17going to be a matter of time this thing snowballs into major and massive use.
- 36:25I've watched what the other technology that I use, the other technologies for
- 36:30the most of my career, and the hands down this is up Now.
- 36:32It's a disruptive technology. It basically replaces things in other markets, and that's
- 36:37going to cause a little bit of a clamor, and it's it doesn't involve
- 36:44radiation, it doesn't involve contrast, I could do this on a pregnant patient.
- 36:49I could do this on a new doorn baby and not feel bad at
- 36:52all. So it's such a safe test, it doesn't cost a lot of
- 36:55money, it gives us more information. It's just a matter of where this
- 37:00is going to disrupt the audience the way we've been doing things. You know,
- 37:05I you know, I sorry to you know. The good thing is
- 37:10that I did to test, and so I can be a very good spokesperson
- 37:15for you as your host today. And one thing I want to say is
- 37:20well, not only is it painless and quick, it is so thorough and
- 37:23and Amy knows it. You know, my test was very very good.
- 37:30And I had no idea that you know, I didn't have any hardening of
- 37:34the arteries or any kind of flaque or and the elasticity and all the things.
- 37:38In fact, I have to test right in front of me. And
- 37:40there were things that I went over with Amy because I had no idea that
- 37:44these even were things that you would want to test. So, as a
- 37:47patient who is depending on a doctor, you know, when you don't have
- 37:53any symptoms that you're just doing it preventatively as a part of anti a uh
- 38:00that that's a whole other cohort, right, people like me who have no
- 38:06history of heart disease but want to know what their condition is. And so
- 38:10Amy knows that one thing it did is it gave me a big smile on
- 38:15my face and a lot of sense of real relief, and that in itself
- 38:22just less of stress. I mean, stress is one of the great you
- 38:25know, causes of heart disease. So the fact that you could walk away
- 38:30from a chest like that and not have anything to worry about at least it
- 38:34was part of that you know test result to Amy, I think you told
- 38:37me I was one of the top results other than your you're a CEO.
- 38:44That in itself gave me such a boost that I'm sure that you know that
- 38:50loss of stress, of worry and concern is something else to you know,
- 38:55factor into the results. So just you know, things that I didn't know
- 39:01anything about, like what is your schemia? You know, that was one
- 39:06of the questions I asked Amy. And then there were all these pathological conditions
- 39:09and physio pathological conditions that we're tested. So can you just give us a
- 39:16little breakdown of that so people know what to expect when they do this test.
- 39:22The beauty of it. It's just kind of a scoring system that goes
- 39:25from zero to twenty two, and anyone can understand that zero being good in
- 39:30twenty two being the worst it could possibly be. If your number is going
- 39:32up from year to year, you're getting worse. If just number is going
- 39:37down, it's getting better. Once your number starts crossing over four, you're
- 39:40starting to get some significant disease. I anticipate this being part of a yearly
- 39:45physical exam for people, and so once you get to the age of thirty,
- 39:50you'll be going to get your blood drowning to being you're checked out with
- 39:52your doctor and you'll get your MCG test, and when you get that multifunctional
- 39:55cartogram, you'll get your score. And if your score is two point two
- 40:00this year and it's two point nine next year, that means we're doing something
- 40:04wrong and we can begin doing something about it before it gets bad. And
- 40:07if it come back the next year, now it's one point seven, you
- 40:10got better, and so apparently the adjustments you made accounted for something, and
- 40:15we can avoid an awful lot of heartache down the road just by keeping an
- 40:19eye on this in their early stages and fixing it. Preventative medicine is where
- 40:23we need to be going if we want to actually help save lives and improve
- 40:27healthcare costs and improve quality of life. It all starts with prevention, preventing
- 40:34heart failure, preventing microvascular disease, and women front developing catching it early.
- 40:39There's no way to catch early small vessels ease and women because they don't have
- 40:44symptoms, but we can catch it with this device seeing when a person has
- 40:47rhythm disturbance issues, atrial fibrillation and tricker fibrillation. The value of this is
- 40:57immense, but I like that number system. I think this is going to
- 41:00actually not only go into the family practice and internal medicine officers. I anticipate
- 41:05this to go into ganecology offices too, because so much women health takes kicks
- 41:08there and they can pick up on women as they're developing disease and begin addressing
- 41:13it. So Amy, I don't when you did to test, where is
- 41:17that score on my I'm looking at my test right now just so I understand
- 41:22this. Where would I see that score that doctor Sam just mentioned it would
- 41:27be on your third page. So you have your first page as your name,
- 41:30second contents, and the third pages where your report starts. You'll see
- 41:36you'll see the scan um chronological order, yeah, date, and then if
- 41:42you go over it, I'll say ECG tracings which is good or marginal are
- 41:45which are acceptable? And then one more over is your schemic results. And
- 41:50then your score would be right there right next to it. Yeah, And
- 41:53I copied this with you that, David, I think maybe I don't have
- 41:58to complete I POSI you know what it says here. I'm just noticing this
- 42:00on the bottom. It's just one of eight and two of eight and that's
- 42:05all I have. So I'm going to come back to you next week and
- 42:09try to get the full full report. I'm so sorry to take time on
- 42:13our very valuable podcast, but I want to know for sure. And then
- 42:17the question is do I should I be going once a year to get this
- 42:21test? Yeah? Absolutely, ye. With your scores which we're very good,
- 42:29you would do it once a year and so and then and you have
- 42:34a list on your website of doctors who are using your protocol using the machine,
- 42:38and we have testing locations. What's our authorized testing locations? You can
- 42:45go to heartcarecorp dot com and find out more information. There is an info
- 42:51at heartcarecorp dot com that if you have any questions or if you don't see
- 42:54in a testing location there in your area, just give us an email and
- 42:59we'll be happy to help you. M So, I know our guests always
- 43:04get some kind of an incentive from our hope, I mean from our guess
- 43:08our our viewers sometimes get incentives from our guests. And I know we didn't
- 43:15really chat about this, but I'd love to know if you would give any
- 43:17kind of incentive to the first time users of your protocol and what you how
- 43:25people could take advantage of that. Is there anything you would like to do
- 43:30with that in that respect? Yeah, we can do ten percent off of
- 43:34if they use uh, you know your name with the website of this podcast,
- 43:38and we can definitely take care of them. Right. So, we
- 43:42have an icon on our website called Michelle Recommends. So what I'll do is
- 43:49we'll just add that and say, you know, for anyone that's going to
- 43:52for their first time right for their first time user to use the ageless code,
- 43:58and that would they contact the company's website or is there a telephone number,
- 44:04and you think is an easier way to get the benefit. The easiest
- 44:08way is to go to the website heartcarecrep dot com and fill out the info
- 44:14at heartcareccorp dot com and just put in their you know, the code.
- 44:20Okay, the ageless code will work if they just say ageless and then they'll
- 44:23okay, very good. Well, and then ten percent off of the four
- 44:27hundred is that correct? Yes, so they would get forty dollars. Forty
- 44:31dollars, so it's pretty darn good. Yeah, And so then they get
- 44:36a chance to try it and then they but they do they have to go
- 44:39through their doctor or they go to that clinic that you're certifying uses your machine,
- 44:45and then that clinic has to then offer them the discount. Um.
- 44:51Yeah, we would, we would set that up for them. Okay,
- 44:53all right, okay, So just before we run out of time, tell
- 44:58me what you see in the few What is your vision for continued expansion,
- 45:04continued innovation. Where are you, like in two years, where do you
- 45:09see yourselves being Hopefully it will be in at least a twenty percent of the
- 45:15hospitals in the nation and I hope within twelve months will have at least one
- 45:21of these devices in every state and the nation in the bigger states multiple And
- 45:29for me, you know, the biggest, biggest challenge for me is to
- 45:32you know, we want to take patients off of the hard transplant list and
- 45:37knowing if they have metabolic, toxin or environmental diseases that we can reverse it
- 45:42and you know, save lives. So in the next two years, you
- 45:46know, we want to make cardiovascular disease not the number one killer for Americans
- 45:52for everyone, but make it all the way at the bottom and the rest
- 45:55of the diseases will go away. So we want to try to try to
- 46:00focus on that saving lives a one like that at a time. I love
- 46:04that. But the only thing I think it's such an integrated effort and challenge.
- 46:10You know, you can do all that you're doing with these this test
- 46:14and educating people to what their challenges are. Then it's up to them,
- 46:19with hopefully some guidance from their physician, to then implement some of those changes
- 46:25that doctor Sam and you Amy have talked about, which you know, integrating
- 46:30mean diet, exercise, and stress reducing stress. And we didn't really talk
- 46:37about supplements. So let's take a moment just to chat about that. Is,
- 46:39are there any supplements that in addition to all these other protocols that we
- 46:45just talked about that people have to comply with, which is to change their
- 46:50lifestyle. If they have a heart condition, then what supplements could they take
- 46:54because most allopathic doctors are not going to tell them about supplements that I know
- 47:00you would. So is there anything that you know a very proactive patient could
- 47:07start to do to reduce their risk of heart attack? Well, probably the
- 47:13number one supplementation issue is dealing with the MTHF or genetic mutation issue, and
- 47:19that would be a process where folic acid doesn't break down the metal foliate because
- 47:22as you age, you lack an enzyme to make it happen. And this
- 47:28makes up about fifty percent of American population, so one out of two people
- 47:30have this genetic effect. And as they get to twenty five, they start
- 47:35having some fatigue and they don't sleep as well, and things start getting on
- 47:37the nerves, and by the age fifty they have chemical depression. When you
- 47:42have that chemical depression, you search late high levels of adrenaline. If you
- 47:45supplement these patients in the six seventy seven mutations in the twelve ninety mutation.
- 47:49With the proper dose of el metal foliate, which is a product called the
- 47:52Novo for Speed twelve that I use, it makes a huge difference. They
- 47:55basically get their brain chemistry back. They start making nactical side and it stops.
- 48:00Nicrotoxy is the number one chemical in the body that removes inflammation from the
- 48:05blood vessels. And I keep using that word inflammation over again because the one
- 48:07who controls it wins. There's a supplement that called our tarasol that it seemed
- 48:14to be helpful as well, and Amy. Once you go over that one,
- 48:17you like that one? Now what is that? Who makes it?
- 48:21Amy? So it is from Calvary Health Science, doctor Chen He is the
- 48:27scientist developer behind that our tarasol. It actually repairs the endothelial lining and it
- 48:32helps a lot of the small vessel disease, which we're seeing a lot of
- 48:37repair with the MCG and especially on myself. So I tried it on myself
- 48:43first. I have small vessel disease and I see a huge improvement. And
- 48:46not only you know the way my scores have gone down, but also they
- 48:52have another vaskanofs, which is a nitric oxide supplement. You take two capsules.
- 48:58It works within an hour and stays in your system for twenty four hours,
- 49:01so it's constantly giving you nitric oxide. So the two are tyrosol and
- 49:06basquinox is. Uh, you know, pretty strong supplements that are not harmful
- 49:10to you but actually help you. And you know, if you go under
- 49:14our website, we do have discounts that we give for patients as well in
- 49:17individuals. So those where do those products originate? Those two Calroy Health Science,
- 49:25right Roy? Are they affiliated with you in a joint venture or are
- 49:30they just an independent company that you happen to like and respect. Yeah,
- 49:36they're independent company which we are now venturing as a collaboration. Okay, all
- 49:43right, that's really important. And what about coca can or ubiquitol because so
- 49:47many of your patients, I'm sure are already on statins and most doctors don't
- 49:52ever tell their patients that they need to supplement with ubiquitol or coca can if
- 49:58they're taking a stat And so, do you have a ubiquinol product that you
- 50:01like, not particular on the ubiquino, but on the coquten and vitamin D.
- 50:08You've got to have both adequate too for a good subset of the population
- 50:14to actually get away with statins. So the statins themselves are not terrible drugs.
- 50:20I don't want you to think that they're horrible. They actually help save
- 50:23a number of people from some disturbance. But that's right. They just need
- 50:28to be used correctly, and then then the patients that struggle with them and
- 50:30get my aside to see the Usually it's a coqutenish or vitamin D, and
- 50:35approximately seventy percent of the United States has low or deficient vitamin D levels,
- 50:39even though sunshines out there. So just because it tags in with skin and
- 50:44it goes to makes the exchange environment D, it doesn't seem to be effective
- 50:47in a number of patients, even when they're sun exposed. So I would
- 50:51suggest that both of those things be handled. And if you're taking vitamin D
- 50:54three, you need to take K two because vitamin D three can calcilum.
- 51:00So K two and D three are like a kissing cousins, right, So
- 51:05it's important to do together. And there are supplements that combine them, but
- 51:08you can buy them. I buy them individually and just make sure that I
- 51:12always take them together. So yeah, so I think that well, obviously
- 51:19stress, we haven't we haven't really focused on that. You kind of touched
- 51:22on it, doctor Sam. But give us a few moments about stress and
- 51:27how people can reduce stress and even with the supplements that like to lower court
- 51:31is all levels. If there's anything that can help people that are chronic stress.
- 51:37When I realized that one out of two people have that mthf oargenic mutation,
- 51:42which means one out of two people as they get over twenty five years
- 51:45of age or starting to begin to feel the effects of stress in a negative
- 51:49way, and by the time they're fifty, they're actually being incredibly affected by
- 51:52another that's uh convinced them from making poor chemicals in their brain, including serotonin,
- 52:01melotonin, dopamine, and nor open deefference of these products play central roles
- 52:07in how you feel, in function and have your memory, your emotions,
- 52:10and so things that used to not get on your nerves start getting on your
- 52:14nerves. So just by replacing that methyl fola will help. Now, there's
- 52:19about eight percent of the country that has sleep disorders, and so things like
- 52:22sleep apnea taking care of that would help. There are more narcoleptics out there
- 52:27than we ever diagnosed. But these are sleep disorders that need be fixed.
- 52:30But if you add the MTHFR plus the sleep apnea, plus the narcilepsy and
- 52:35the old hodgepris, that's about sixty percent of the country that struggles with sleep.
- 52:39And the whole purpose of sleep is to make chemicals. You're tired at
- 52:43the end of the day because you have used up your chemicals and that olympic
- 52:45system your brain. You you're supposed to manufacture those chemicals in deep sleep and
- 52:51then wake up the next day refreshment. So many people go to bed tired
- 52:53and they wake up tired because they don't have the ability to make the chemicals.
- 52:58You have five stages to sleep, one, two, three, four
- 53:00rim you make your brain chemicals, and stage three and four will If you
- 53:05don't spend any time in stage three or four, or if you don't break
- 53:07down polic acid into metal folate, you just can't make those chemicals. Things
- 53:13like vibin D effects serotonin, So there's some other contributory factors. But if
- 53:17a person was taking care of their vibin D level and getting it between fifty
- 53:21and one hundred and they were taking care of their metal folate by checking their
- 53:23mthfur status. Everyone in America should have an MTHF genetic mutation. Since one
- 53:30out of two people have it. It just makes no sense not to get
- 53:31the test. It's not that expensive. Yeah, addresses it. Well,
- 53:37that's a new finding. It's not a mainstream test though, you know.
- 53:40You mean when you go to your lab requisition. If you look at most
- 53:45people's lab lab requisitions, mthfire is not on there. So the doctor right
- 53:57sometimes. This was only discovered in two thousand and five, and we really
- 54:01didn't know how to treat it till twenty eleven. It was the first effectively
- 54:07treated the psychiatric worldness, which is why psychiatrists would be more likely to order
- 54:10this test than primary care doctors. But eventually we'll get this across the primary
- 54:15care doctors. It also affects coagulations, so it will be doctors are familiar
- 54:20with it in the coagulation since it affects the ability of a woman to get
- 54:22pregnant because miscarriages are recurrently occurring because they're MTGF far and they have age with
- 54:29them by the time you get past the age of twenty five and on end
- 54:31to thirty. If you have this MTHF for our genetic mutation, you can
- 54:36have recurrent miscarriages because you don't make the spinal then one of my trains the
- 54:45neural tube properly without the properties we always knew about folic acid. But if
- 54:50a person can't break folic acid down, you could take a boatload and pulic
- 54:52gas, it won't work. So these female patients that don't have methyl folate
- 54:57in their system because that mutation have struggles with however, So there's so many
- 55:00reasons to be ticking right. Thank you for this because honestly, this is
- 55:05not a mainstream awareness and you created something or stated something today that I think
- 55:10we'll open the eyes of a lot of people to you know, basically,
- 55:15you have to be your own doctor and you have to educate your doctor,
- 55:17two things that you want. And I think we do this if we're all
- 55:22proactive and research and look at you know, different situations than uh and today
- 55:29with the internet, it's very well not always accurate, but it's certainly a
- 55:32method to go start finding some statements that of with scientific research behind it that
- 55:43would help to or to meet people like you and Amy. Right, but
- 55:47you know. I just before we say goodbye, I want to just mention
- 55:51melotonin because you did touch on it, and I think melotonin was underrated of
- 55:57all supplements. So would you agree that melotonin is a supplement to add to
- 56:02your protocol most completely, especially for the fifty percent They have empty j far
- 56:08issues and they struggle with manufacturing that product. They can't turn their brain off
- 56:14at night and sleep. So lower doses tend to be safe and effect.
- 56:17If you get too high, you can actually have some rebound effects, so
- 56:21just have to be careful how you dose it, all right, So it's
- 56:23three milligrams, Okay, two and three milligrams are proper doses, right,
- 56:29That's what I use. Yeah, Well, I just want to say thank
- 56:32you so much. This has been amazingly helpful, and you're both so knowledgeable
- 56:37and and just so credible and everything that you're doing. It's it's really a
- 56:44great, great effort to save humanity and from the number one killer of humanity.
- 56:52And I just want you to know that all of us are cheering for
- 56:55you to continue your journey and really the best of luck in this and I
- 57:02will be talking to you next week. Gave me about getting this UM test
- 57:07result in a more complete way, so I know to tell my doctor next
- 57:14next time we do our test that I want to see if she has that
- 57:17accreditation with you. So thank you again for taking the time for us today
- 57:24and for all of you. Goodbye, have a beautiful weekend, and we'll
- 57:30see you again in Angels and Timeless in two weeks. Thank you, bye bye.
