Cardiovascular test replaces 7 tests your cardiologist would do
FDA-Approved Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Screening Test

Today, I had a fascinating health screening test done. I sat down in front of a computer, warmed my fingertips on a heating pad to improve circulation and had a clamp placed on my first finger of my left hand for about 3 minutes as the computer did it’s thing.
What was I doing? I was taking the new Digital PulseWave Analyzer, which is an FDA cleared early warning detection device. It is quite comprehensive as I mentioned, replacing 7 tests normally done by your cardiologist. In fact, I’m told many cardiologists are now using the Digital PulseWave Analyzer because it is so accurate.
However, I should also mention that the same people doing the testing are also selling a product for cardiovascular health. Any time you have a company promoting a product and also testing to see if you need it, that throws up a red flag.
If it were not done in the office of a holistic health professional I’ve known for years and trust with my health, I might have been more skeptical.
However, the fact that doctors are using it and also that the FDA has cleared it for this specific, vital use speaks volumes to me.
My Cardiovascular Test Results from the DPA:
I’m basically as old as I am, within a year. In other words, my arteries are in about the shape one would expect them to be in at my age.
However, they could be better in certain areas and the test was very, very specific as to what those areas were. For example, my carotid arteries in the neck were fine but an important “notch” that appeaers in something called a “PTG Waveform” graphic was missing. This is not necessarily abnormal for my age but it is a sign that aging is occurring and perhaps, faster in that area than it should be.
It didn’t surprise me. As I’ve written on this blog, my new year’s resolution was to focus on doing three specific things each morning to restore my health to optimal. I do not exercise much and have never done so. In fact, given the lack of exercise over most my life, it’s surprising my results were as good as they were, particularly given the fact that I did have high cholesterol a year ago. I brought it down with one of the products this company sells, called Argenix.
This time, they told me about a new product called CardioCocktail. This is a multi-level situation, which I do not particularly care for but the bottom line is “does it work?”
I’m planning to take the CardioCocktail for at least two months, maybe three and then be retested. If I see (and feel in my day to day activities) that there is improvement, I’ll post the results here.
I do know when I took the Argenix last year, I saw massive improvement in energy levels, reduction of restless leg sensations, better sleep and weight loss. I also literally felt the Argenix go through one of the arteries that had muscle-tested to be congested. It was an amazing thing, how much that first dose helped me so I am curious to find out what the CardioCocktail can do.
I would say it’s worth the time to get the test done, whether you buy the product or not. However, keep in mind that they will try to sell it to you, for sure.
I was very happy to see that there were no life-threatening problems in my cardiovascular system. Since many who die of heart attacks have no symptoms, I do believe testing is important, particularly if there is a history of heart disease in your family (it’s in my family line on both sides).
