Inflammation and Infection
Presently, most recognize that there are several infectious agents that are associated with coronary vascular disease. Human herpes virus 6, nanobacteria, chlamydia and cytomegalo virus all have been implicated as part of the epigenesis of heart disease. Studies have even shown 89% of patients have chlamydia in their hearts at the time of bypass surgery. Most investigators agree that, although these infectious organisms may not be the primary cause of heart disease, they significantly contribute to a hypercoagulable state. The use of low-dose broad-spectrum antibiotics such as tetracycline has been suggested along with aggressive enzyme usage. It seems that this combination affords the best result of reducing infection and inflammation. Several studies have shown the overall effectiveness of enzyme use is greater than the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
