Over the course of several decades, I have seen hundreds of patients with “heart” problems that, in fact, were not heart problems at all. Most of these turned out to be cases of simple indigestion, causing strong sensations of pain in the chest and stomach. Their stomachs were usually hard and swollen, filled with pockets of gas exerting great pressure on the diaphragm and heart. Trapped gas and “heart burn” more often than not lead to the false alarm of a heart condition. Other patients, however, did have serious heart trouble, in addition to suffering chronic indigestion, or, as I see it, because of it. George, age 64, was one of them.

George had received medical treatment for thirty years for what his cardiologist called “progressive heart disease.” During the same period, he had been on a large variety of drugs to relieve the symptoms. One of them was an anti-hypertensive drug. The drug’s diuretic effects helped to drain excess fluids from his body, but also caused severe cellular dehydration and damaged his kidneys and liver. Other side effects included impotence, increase of angina pain, stomach upset, eye pains, muscle weakness, depression, and nightmares. Despite taking the drugs regularly, he was advised to undergo a bypass operation since several of his heart arteries were almost completely blocked.

A few years after the operation, at age 62, his "new" coronary arteries also showed strong signs of damage, causing chest pain and severe tiredness. His heart was no longer able to perform sufficiently well and, he was informed that, as a last resort, only a heart replacement could prolong his life. That was the time I saw George for the first time. He said this to me: “I feel more dead than alive. My energy level is only a fraction of what it used to be. There is not much I can do now except wait for a heart replacement, but considering my general condition I am not sure whether I even can make it through such an operation.”

After applying the diagnostic tools of Ayurvedic Pulse Reading and Eye Interpretation, I explained to him that his real problem wasn’t his heart, but the amassed, and toxic, undigested food in his intestines (I was pointing to his grossly protruded belly), and the stored animal protein throughout his blood vessel system. The toxic material was suffocating the cells of his body and causing slow poisoning of the liver, kidney, and heart cells. His liver bile ducts were congested with thousands of gallstones. I suggested that he remove all the toxic waste, which his body had collected over the past 40 years in his small and large intestines through intestinal cleansing, and stimulate the digestive power through a series of liver cleanses. Thereby, he could directly relieve his heart from the heavy burden of having to deliver nutrients to a body that was blocked and overtaxed with harmful material. His heart was obviously exhausted from pumping blood through a congested body.

George quickly began to implement a program that included directions for a specific body-type diet, cleansing of his intestines and liver, the daily and seasonal Ayurvedic routine, regular full body oil massage, yoga and walking near the beachfront, and
meditation. Within three days of his first-ever colonic irrigation session, and strict avoidance of any protein foods, George felt a huge burden had been lifted from his heart. His energy began to return, but he still did not feel strong enough to go back to work. Two weeks later, though, he was back at his desk, with great enthusiasm. Being a director of his own successful insurance company, he no longer felt as stressed at work as he used to feel before the treatment. He was also asleep by 10 p.m. and meditating each day, which made him feel refreshed and calm, and able to handle the difficulties at work with a more relaxed attitude.

Three months later, George visited his cardiologist who took him through a series of tests to determine the condition of his heart. George was not surprised to hear his doctor confirm that he no longer needed a heart transplant operation. He saved himself the $750,000.00 that the heart transplant would have cost. Over time, he reduced and finally stopped all of his medications. Ten years later, he is still very active and enjoys an excellent state of health.


“Just thought you would like to hear the latest report from my cardiologist, whom I went to see on Monday, just because it has now been over one year since my heart attack.” This was the beginning of an e-mail message that Susan, a 62-year old friend of mine from Arizona, sent me in the year 2000. “He was a bit disturbed when I first saw him,” she continued, "because I said I was not taking any medications and had not done so since last August. As he was talking with me, he said he would probably prescribe a couple of medications for me to start taking again, but first he wanted to do an echocardiogram and a stress test.”

agreed to them both and they were done in his office. While I was on the treadmill, I became tired, so I told his assistants I was getting tired and they said 'You may be, but your heart is not!' They said the echocardiogram and stress test were well within normal limits. When the cardiologist came back into the room, he said, 'I am totally surprised, just totally surprised. These tests show a healthy heart, no failure at all! So you can go home, continue doing what you have been doing and come back to see me in six months.' He did not mention anything else about medications.” Her message ended by saying how grateful she was for having received all the advice and recommendations that had given her the power to claim a healthy normal heart. Susan is one in thousands of people who were listed as incurable heart disease patients, but through liver cleansing and changes in diet and lifestyle, has beaten the odds.
