Please Note: Many people may benefit from Cardiac Px Titrate , and it is the preferred formula for people who are sensitive to herbal supplements or medicines. It is also important to note that people who exceed recommended dosages with Cardiac Px Capsules have a much higher risk of developing a potentially serious adverse reaction than people taking Cardiac Px Titrate. If you have a patient who you feel might not follow directions carefully it is recommended that they be given the less potent Cardiac PX Titrate liquid formula.

The Cardiac Px formulas contain both fast and slow acting herbs. They may be very helpful in a variety of heart conditions, and should be well suited for people doing the WT3 protocol. People often notice beneficial effects on palpitations and 'jitters' within 15-30 minutes. Cardiac Px formulas may also result in long-term improvements in heart function that can be detected on an echocardiogram. Changes may begin to show within two months of regular use.*

Cardiac Px Capsules may be helpful in the following complaints: irregular heat rhythm, chronic heart insufficiency, bundle branch problems, EKG abnormalities, fast heart rate, slow heart rate, a history of heart problems, or family history of heart problems. It may also be helpful for people who have heart complaints due to a hyper-functioning thyroid gland.*

Like Cardiac Px Titrate, Cardiac Px Capsules consists of a potent blend of the four primary botanical cardiovascular tonics of western herbalism. Lilly of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) is indicated for use in mitral insufficiency, feeble circulation, chronic heart problems, swollen ankles due to heart problems, irregular heart rhythm, and shortness of breath. It is considered to provide many of the benefits of digitalis without the side-effects (Felter). Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) is considered as one of the best remedies for the heart and circulatory systems (Hoffman). Night Blooming Cactus (Selenicerius grandiflorus) increases the strength of contractions and slow the rate of the heart (Chevallier), and is used to calm heart palpitations from nervousness (Hoffman). Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) has demonstrated the ability to decrease rapid heart rate while improving cardiac efficiency. It may also reduce anxiousness and nervous tension (Duke).*

Cardiac Px Capsules with the WT3 protocol
Most people tolerate the WT3 protocol quite well. There is a chance, however, of cardiovascular irregularities such as increased heart rate, increased awareness of the heartbeat, and palpitations. The Cardiac Px formulas have shown the ability to calm increased pulse rates and/or palpitations, which may occasionally accompany the WT3 protocol. They may also calm the nervousness and anxiousness that can sometimes be associated with the WT3 protocol. If people do experience any cardiovascular complaints while on the WT3 protocol there are a few measures that can be taken. They are explained more thoroughly in the Doctor's Manual for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. They include;

• adjusting the T3 dosage*
• improving the punctuality of T3 doses*
• taking a T4-test dose (involves using a weaker thyroid hormone {T4} to reduce the effects of T3)*

Sometimes these measures are not enough. Occasionally there are people who still have a difficult time tolerating the WT3 protocol. People have reported that Cardiac Px formulas have helped them tolerate the WT3 protocol extremely well when they couldn't have tolerated it well without it. Doctors have also reported that Cardiac Px makes it easier to use the protocol because people have fewer cardiovascular complaints. If people on the WT3 protocol start having palpitations they can take a dose of Cardiac Px Capsules immediately and it will usually diminish the palpitations within a half hour (we also recommend a T4-test dose to stabilize the T3 levels). In fact, we recommend that all people on the WT3 protocol take Cardiac Px Capsules twice a day in an effort to avoid cardiovascular effects in the first place. It's very comforting for people to know that they have something in hand that they can try taking if they start having any complaints.*

If people are experiencing heart rates of over 100 beats per minute Cardiac Px formulas may help.*

To Enable People With Cardiac Risk To Qualify For the WT3 protocol
Some people who want to undergo WT3 protocol have abnormal EKG's, fast heart rates, or a family or personal history of heart problems. WT3 is not advisable for these people unless their heart complaints are normalized. After taking Cardiac Px Capsules, many people have found improvements in their EKG's and/or pulse rates so that they were able to do the WT3 protocol. For example, two people wanted to start the WT3 protocol but their resting heart rates were around 103. Both people took one capsule of Cardiac Px per day and their pulse rates decreased to between 70 and 80 bpm within three or four days and stayed there continuously while they were on the WT3 protocol. Cardiac Px may be useful in many conditions (listed below) even if the patient isn't going to take the WT3 protocol. *

General Tune Up For The Heart
Cardiac Px Capsules are not a treatment for cardiac complaints. They contain a collection of herbs that according to traditional herbalism have restorative effects on the function of the heart itself. This is fundamentally different from the effects of most heart drugs and helps explain how Cardiac Px may be support people with low heart rates as well as people with high heart rates. It also explains how Cardiac Px may help with a variety of heart problems. Most people who benefit from Cardiac Px formulas won't need to take them for life. Some  may only need the support very infrequently.*

Chronic heart insufficiency possibly with Chronic Chest Discomfort and/or Fluid Retention
After an episode of chronic heart insufficiency many people can have fluid retention all over their bodies. When heart insufficiency is really severe sometimes the swelling never totally goes away. There have been cases in which patients taking Cardiac Px capsules have seen the fluid retention diminish within a week or so just by giving Cardiac Px capsules.*

Irregular heart rhythms
After starting to take Cardiac Px Capsules, some people with irregular heat rhythms have been comfortably able to tolerate the WT3 protocol. One patient, finishing her fourth month of the WT3 protocol, had less irregular heat rhythm than before she started. If doctors choose to manage people with irregular heat rhythms, it should be done very carefully. Please see the Doctor's Manual for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. Cardiac Px Capsules can be given for one or two weeks before the WT3 protocol is started. It is recommended patients see their treating phsician once a week to monitor progress.*

Cardiac Px formulas appear to provide nutritional substances, adaptive stimulation, and supportive effects for the heart. Some people may benefit from taking Cardiac Px Capsules twice a day for life (for example, people with a family history of heart problems). There doesn't seem to be any harm in staying on Cardiac Px in recommended doses.

Dosages
Your doctor can call 800-420-5801 to make a technical support appointment to get dosing information.  Cardiac Px Capsules should not be taken in doses greater than four capsules a day in divided doses, and not to be used more than once in two hours. These products must be kept away from children and should not be taken when pregnant or nursing.

Side Effects
Cardiac Px Capsules are normally very well tolerated within the recommended dosages, and we have had no adverse events reported. One of the main active ingredients are cardiac glycosides, which are also found in Digoxin; but the cardiac glycosides in Cardiac PX have a very short half-life compared to Digoxin and have a much lower potential for toxicity. Nevertheless, overdosing on Cardiac Px Titrate or Cardiac Px Capsules is potentially very serious. Symptoms of overdose include irregular heat rhythm, high blood pressure, restlessness, confusion, weakness, rapid heart rate, headache, vertigo, and cardiovascular collapse.*

We have been asked at what dose might side effects be noticed. There have not been any reported side effects from the use of Cardiac PX capsules to date. However in the literature we found a case in which one patient took the equivalent of four caps of Cardiac Px capsules (or 8 tsp/ 640 drops at once of Cardiac Px Titrate liquid) and experienced irregular heat rhythm and severe shortness of breath. However, we want to stress that people should never exceed the recommended dosages and that their physician should monitor the dosage.

Drug Interactions
Drug potentiation with cardiac drugs especially ones that contain cardiac glycosides such as Digoxin should always be considered with both Cardiac Px formulas.

What to Expect
Results may be noticed in as few as 15-30 minutes for acute complaints, and 1-4 weeks for chronic complaints. Response to the product varies by condition and individual.*

Lab Tests
EKG and echocardiogram can be used to assess the impact of the Cardiac PX.

Side Benefits
Support to cardiovascular health.*
