Slide 1 : The Screening Measure Arterial Elasticity & Blood Pressure with Pulse Wave Analysis CASP – Central Aortic Systolic Pressure - is the blood pressure at the root of the aorta (the largest artery in the body), as the blood is being pumped out of the heart. CASP has been shown to be a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular health and potential future symptoms than brachial pressure at the arm

Slide 2 : CASP measures the blood pressure at the aorta coming out of the heart CASP also measures the waveform of the blood flow throughout the whole body - Thus giving an accurate picture of blood pressure head to toe CASP renders a more complete picture of your cardio- vascular health The blood pressure cuff measures the blood pressure of the brachial vessel in the arm Brachial Pressure vs. Central Aortic Systolic Pressure - CASP

Slide 3 : Invasive method This is direct measurement, a catheter is inserted into the aortic root from brachial or femoral artery, which is obviously an invasive method and could result in complications. This invasive method is very expensive. Through pulse waveform technology, this FDA cleared device more accurately measures blood pressure throughout your entire body. It is considerably less expensive and safer. How To Measure CASP Non-Invasive Method: BPro® + A-PULSE CASP®

Slide 4 : More people die from cardiovascular disease than the next 6 leading causes of death COMBINED

Slide 5 : Cardiovascular Disease in America # 1 cause of death in world today is Hypertension It is a myth that heart disease affects mostly men - leading cause of death in women - 1 in 3 American women die of heart disease An estimated 80,000,000 American adults (1 in 3) have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) High Blood Pressure - 73,600,000. Heart Attack – 7,900,000 Coronary Artery Disease– 16,800,000 Stroke– 6,500,000 Angina Pectoris – 9,800,000 2006 Stats from the AHA

Slide 6 : Coronary heart disease is a silent disease 95% die before reaching the hospital 70% die at home (US) A Ticking Time Bomb….. The first manifestation frequently is sudden death Sudden Cardiac Death accounts for over 300,000 deaths each year.

Slide 7 : Progression of Cardiovascular Disease Blood pressure increases Cold hands and feet Chronic High Blood Pressure Angina Heart Attack Stroke

Slide 8 : Onset of Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease can start DECADES before any symptoms are felt In over 50% of people with heart disease, the FIRST symptom they experience is a heart attack or stroke

Slide 9 : Cardiovascular Disease Atherosclerosis is the formation of plaques consisting of cholesterol and other substances on the arterial walls Arteriosclerosis refers to several diseases in which the arterial wall thickens and loses its elasticity

Slide 10 : Healthy Coronary Artery Currently, an estimated 80,000,000 American adults (one in three) have one or more types of cardiovascular disease

Slide 11 : Artery with Atherosclerotic Plaque A silent killer - In over 50% of people with cardiovascular disease, the FIRST symptom they have is a heart attack or stroke.

Slide 12 : Nitroglycerin Medication Administered Nitroglycerin dilates constricted Arteries This improves blood flow and alleviates chest pain

Slide 13 : Contributing Factors to Arteriosclerosis Courtesy of Endocrine Metabolic Medical Center Copyright 12/2007 Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast Notice that Blood Pressure, NOT Cholesterol plays the biggest role in contributing to the advancing of arteriosclerosis.

Slide 14 : High Blood Pressure is a symptom less disease. You can have it and still feel fine!

Slide 15 : What is a Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a portion of the heart muscle is blocked by plaque build up in a coronary artery and/or a blood clot. This year an estimated 785,000 Americans will have a new coronary attack and about 470,000 will have a recurrent attack.

Slide 16 : Medications Medications have side effects Angioplasty Short term answer to a long term problem Cause structural changes to the anatomy of the artery Conventional Medical Options

Slide 17 : The Answer Is All Natural John P. Cooke, M.D., Ph.D. “There is magic within all of us. It comes in the shape of a molecule known as nitric oxide. A substance so powerful that it can actually protect you from heart attack and stroke. Best of all your body can make it on its own. Nitric oxide is your bodies best defense against heart disease. The body is capable of healing itself. What you do with the magic is up to you.”

Slide 18 : The Discovery Stockholm Sweden October 12, 1998 Three Americans won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering that the body uses nitric oxide gas to make blood vessels relax and widen. Associated Press

Slide 19 : Or you can discover the remarkable ability of what Columbia University researchers call the Miracle Molecule Nitric Oxide = NO ADMA LDL Diabetes NO Stroke BP Health Heart Arginine Nitric Oxide is the messenger molecule that the body uses to regulate the dilating of blood vessels. When that process is impaired, your health suffers.

Slide 20 : What Is Nitric Oxide (“NO”)? Produced by the endothelial cell linings along 100,000 miles of blood vessels and capillaries in the human body Keeps blood vessels open, elastic and functioning properly

Slide 21 : Is your Endothelium like Teflon or Velcro? (Endothelium = blood vessel lining) A healthy endothelium is like “Teflon”, a smooth surface that enhances the flow of blood An unhealthy endothelium is like “Velcro”, causing plaque, white blood cells and platelets to stick to it

Slide 22 : The body needs to produce Nitric Oxide (NO) to keep vessels healthy, smooth and elastic. As we age, our body produces less and less Nitric Oxide L-Arginine greatly increases the amount of Nitric Oxide in the body Nitric Oxide restores the endothelium to its healthy normal function L-Arginine is the Answer!

Slide 23 : Normal Arterial Function Messenger Molecule released by endothelium and absorbed by smooth muscle of the artery The smooth muscle relaxes and the artery dilates to allow greater blood flow at reduced pressure Messenger Molecule (NO) produced from L-Arginine

Slide 26 : Erectile Dysfunction in the vast majority of cases can be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease. The discovery of Viagra stemmed from the same Nobel Prize winning research on Nitric Oxide that also has lead to the discovery of the importance of L-Arginine in NO production.

Slide 27 : The ProArgi-9+ Story Leave A Legacy Own Your Health! ~ It’s YOUR time!

Slide 28 : Dr. Joe ProArgi-9+ Formulator Dr. Joseph Prendergast is an accomplished scientist and researcher who has been a practicing Endocrinologist for over 35 years. He has treated over 7000 patients since 1991 with his L-Arginine therapy without a single heart attack or stroke. What is so amazing about this is that 85% of his patients are Diabetics. 2 out of 3 Diabetics die from heart attack or stroke -- Dr Joe has had ZERO deaths from heart attack or stroke!

Slide 29 : Amazing Results from Dr. Joe’s ProArgi-9+ Therapy Dr. Joe has not had a patient death due to heart attack or stroke in more than 17 years. No Diabetic Blindness No Diabetic Neuropathy No Diabetic Amputations Less than 1% of Dr. Joe’s patients per year see a Cardiologist

Slide 30 : In summary: The body needs to produce Nitric Oxide (NO) to keep vessels healthy, smooth and elastic. As we age, we naturally produce insufficient amounts of NO L-Arginine greatly increases the amount of NO in the body Taking ProArgi-9+ daily will increase NO and melt away plaque and fatty deposits in your arteries and veins. ProArgi-9+ will also make your vessels more youthful and elastic. ProArgi-9+ can reverse cardiovascular disease

Slide 31 : Why ProArgi-9+ is the BEST supplemental L-Arginine Formula Highest quality Pharmaceutical Grade ingredients World class supplement manufacturer – Nature’s Sunshine Highest grade ingredients from pure vegetarian sources No synthetics are used in ProArgi-9 The L-Arginine used in ProArgi-9 is called pure elemental most l-Arginine supplement products are called Arginine HCL Arginine HCL is usually synthetic not pure elemental Arginine HCL does not produce the same results as ProArgi-9

Slide 32 : Ingredients of ProArgi-9+ L-Arginine Vitamin D3 L-Citrulline Vitamin B6 Vitamin B12 Pomegranate (True Fruit) Red Wine Extract Ribose Vitamin K2 Folic Acid Xylitol

Slide 33 : The formula is the result of 20 years of clinical practice and research by Dr. Joe The “Gold Standard” Ingredients of ProArgi-9+ L-Arginine: a vital amino acid that plays a role in a number of physiological functions in the body, but is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. . L-Citrulline: no L-Arginine product works effectively without it. L-Citrulline extends the life of L-Arginine for 24-36 hours in the body instead of the normal life of L-Arginine alone of 20 minutes to 1 hour . Ribose: is extremely effective in strengthening the heart muscle and a powerful anti-aging supplement Ribose has been found to improve fatigue, stiffness, cramping and tight muscles.

Slide 34 : Vitamin D3: has been called the miracle nutrient of the century It aids in calcium absorption, healthy cardiovascular functions and supports healthy inflammatory response. Vitamin D3 is excellent for bones, and strengthens the immune system It is known be a mood enhancer- fighting depression; and improves digestion and food absorption. Vitamin D3 contributes towards the prevention of 96% of known cancers. Children born of mothers with high Vitamin D deficiency levels throughout pregnancy show a much higher rate of autism related conditions. 4 out of 5 people are Vitamin D deficient The “Gold Standard” Ingredients of ProArgi-9+

Slide 35 : The “Gold Standard” Ingredients of ProArgi-9+ Pomegranate: good for calming the prostate and stomach. It contains superior antioxidants, promotes arterial lining strength, and enhances nitric oxide (NO) production from L-arginine Vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid Xylitol: a natural sweetener and a blood stabilizer for diabetics, as well as affecting and reducing sugar cravings. Bone density is increased by Xylitol; and it contributes to weight loss.
