Heart Disease and Stroke

Heart disease and stroke prevention and management at Sano Via is unlike most other clinics because we utilize a true integrative approach with the leadership of respected medical and naturopathic doctors working together in-house. The experienced medical team at Sano Via will design an individual protocol for you under the guidance of our Medical Director Dr. Akbar Khan (Faculty of Medicine, U of T Class of 1992).

Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention and Management

At Sano Via Wellness, we can determine the individual factors that lead to heart disease, stroke or other forms of vascular disease using advanced non-invasive testing. We correct the abnormalities using non-toxic medications or powerful natural therapies. This allows us to help prevent heart disease and even reverse changes in the arteries that can lead to heart attack or stroke.

Some of the strategies we use to prevent and manage heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease include:

  • Vitamin D therapy with individual dosing that follows the large published human studies, not outdated guidelines.
  • High dose intravenous blood ozonation and therapy to enhance cell metabolism, accelerate healing and repair and assist with detoxification.
  • Intravenous chelation therapy to remove heavy metals that contribute to inflammation leading to cardiovascular disease.
  • Intravenous phospholipid therapy to reverse cholesterol plaque buildup in the arteries and regenerate aging cells.
  • Nutritional infusion therapy to reduce harmful inflammation in the body
  • Low dose naltrexone therapy to reduce harmful inflammation in the body
  • Correction of hormone imbalances that promote vascular disease
  • Special anti-inflammatory organic diet strategy designed by Dr. Doug Andrews, ND
  • Specific natural medicines

Our comprehensive cardiovascular consultation and diagnostic workup may include some or all of the following (depending on individual needs):

  • Initial integrative consultation
  • Blood testing including blood cell counts, kidney function, liver function, salt balance, cholesterol levels, inflammatory markers, average glucose level, thyroid function
  • Blood vitamin D level
  • Blood homocysteine level
  • Blood lipoprotein level
  • 12 lead electrocardiogram
  • Holter monitor
  • Cardiac ultrasound / Doppler
  • Exercise stress testing or exercise thallium cardiac testing
  • Advanced hormone testing including adrenal function, sex hormones, hormone metabolites, neurotransmitters
  • Dysbiosis bacterial profile (bowel bacterial balance)
  • Heavy metal toxicity measurement
  • Glyphosate (pesticide) level measurement
  • DNA-PCR blood pathogen panel to find bacteria that contribute to cardiovascular disease
  • Intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) measurement
  • Cardiology specialist referral
  • Follow-up for review of test results and development of prevention/management strategy including nutrition and fitness plan, supplement plan
  • Management strategy depends on results of tests, typically may involve 3 – 6 months of intense therapy followed by ongoing lifetime maintenance
