This site is about treatments that work to prolong your healthy life. I work hard to provide the proof and evidence that the medications and lifestyle changes that I advocate are safe and effective. The FDA requires rigorous trials to prove, for example, that new medications for diabetes reduce the cardiovascular complications that kill and disable patients who have that disorder. I provide links to the research that documents the benefit of these treatments. Visits to primary care teams are inexpensive and you can take six precision medicines that prolong healthy life for $40 a month. These medications dramatically reduce the risk of heart attack and heart failure. I will always provide the facts and the truth to the best of my ability.
There is no similar requirement for proof that medical devices are safe and effective. As a consequence, American patients receive treatments that are very expensive, not effective, and not safe. This impacts every American who pays taxes.
A good example are medical devices designed to help patients who have such severe damage from a heart attack that they go into shock Using these devices costs $50,000 to $75,000 dollars per episode. The intra-aortic balloon pump has been used in this setting for decades. Now there is a newer more expensive intravascular microaxial left ventricular assist device already in extensive use. New research shows it is not only more expensive, but 50% more people who use it die. The use of this device has increased to almost 20% of cardiogenic shock patients over the last five years. This is a direct result of a simple fact. Approximately 99% of contemporary medical devices entering the market are approved without clinical data from clinical trials that prove they are safe and effective. This policy represents an inexcusable disregard for the welfare of patients.
You can see easily we don’t have patient-centered care in the United States. We have care that serves the needs of provider organizations, institutions, device makers, and drug companies. I am doing all I can to help you understand. I need your help if we are to have a system that works for us at reasonable cost.
That’s why one of the Apple Watch designing team’s medical leaders commended on our work:” It is refreshing to see a diagnostic technology getting that much thorough clinical validation!” Heck, yeah! Bar none!
Yup! That’s why we consciously took an entirely opposite route to develop our technology, Multifunction Computational Systems Engineering Electrophysiology Diagnostic Technology to pair the analog electrical physiological information of the heart to a highly sophisticated mathematical system sporting a neural network! We have thoroughly and responsibly verified and validated our system’s output in the real world without compromise, without the corrupt practices of “pay to play” or “quid pro quo.” The end result is that our system really works and delivers the much needed information missing in all of the current costly diagnostic imaging procedures! We are very proud of what we have painstakingly and ethically accomplished thus far! Our hard work has borne fruit for all to enjoy and thrive on! Hooray!!!
