Cardiac Px Titrate provides both short-term and long-term support.*

Cardiac Px Titrate consists of a concentrated liquid extract of the four primary botanical cardiovascular tonics of western herbalism. Lilly of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) provides support 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 much of the support of digitalis without the side-effects (Felter). Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) is considered as one of the best supports 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) supports normal heart rate and cardiac efficiency. It may also provide support in anxiousness and nervous tension (Duke).*

Cardiac Px Titrate with WT3 Protocol
Cardiac Px Titrate provides support in a variety of heart irregularities, and is especially suited for those people on the WT3 protocol. For instance, Cardiac Px Titrate promotes normal pulse rates with the WT3 protocol. It may also provide support in the nervousness and anxiousness that can sometimes be associated with the WT3 protocol. Wilson's T3 protocol involves the use of T3, a potent thyroid hormone, but 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 heart beat, and palpitations.*

If people do experience any cardiovascular irregularities on the WT3 protocol there are a few measures that can be taken which are explained more thoroughly in the Doctor's Manual for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (which thoroughly explains the WT3 protocol). They include,

• adjust the T3 dosage*
• ensure that the T3 is taken exactly on time*
• take a T4-test dose (involves using a weaker thyroid hormone called T4 to reduce the effects of T3)*

We recommend that all people on the WT3 protocol also take a little Cardiac Px twice a day for cardiovascular support.*

General Support For The Heart
Cardiac Px Titrate is not a treatment for cardiac complaints. It is a collection of herbs that according to traditional herbalism has 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 Titrate may be supportive to people with low heart rates as well as people with high heart rates.  Cardiac Px Titrate may be supportive to people with irregular heart rhythm, chronic heart failure, bundle branch block, ekg abnormalities, fast heart rate, slow heart rate, a history of heart problems. It may also be helpful in people who are having heart complaints due to hyper-functioning of the thyroid gland*

Potential Irregularities
Cardiac Px Titrate is intended to provide nutritional substances and support for the heart. In a sense, it can be considered a tonic for the heart. Some people might want to take a 1/3 to 1/2 tsp of Cardiac Px Titrate twice a day for life (for example, as a tonic in people with a family history of heart problems). There doesn't seem to be any harm in staying on it. Taking Cardiac Px Titrate can be thought of as a healthy habit like swimming every day to keep one's body healthy.*

Dosage Information
Cardiac Px Titrate is normally very well tolerated, but it's important not to exceed three teaspoons a day (taken in no less than three divided doses) without your doctor's recommendation. The Lily of the Valley in the product is a potent herb. Theoretically, a person who takes too much could get an irregular heart beat, or aggravate an abnormal heart rhythm. Whereas, it appears Cardiac Px Titrate can be quite helpful in the recommended dosages, it could be detrimental to the heart if taken in excessive doses. This is why this product is only available through physicians and must be taken as directed.

The dosage for Cardiac Px Titrate ranges from about 20 drops to one teaspoon two or three times a day. The lowest dose should be 20 drops twice a day, and the highest dose should be 1 teaspoon three times a day. In general, people can start at a certain dose, and then increase the dose. Though most people do well with 20 drops 2 or 3 times a day, people can take up to 1 teaspoon 2 or 3 times a day (in divided doses).

Cardiac Px Titrate contains grain alcohol as an extracting agent (which extracts natural compounds from the herbs). The doses of Cardiac Px Titrate can be mixed with a little water to make it easier to swallow. Here's a tip for people who don't like the idea of ingesting the alcohol, you can swish the Cardiac Px Titrate around in your mouth to warm it, and then exhale air over it, out of your mouth. Some of the alcohol will evaporate that way. If you do that several times, it will reduce the amount of alcohol you consume.

Below are a variety of examples of how Cardiac Px Titrate can be used.

For Cardiovascular Support in People doing the WT3 protocol

Though many people don't experience cardiac irregularities with WT3 protocol, we're pleased to be able to offer a product that provides support for those that do. Therefore, we recommend that every person taking the WT3 protocol be given the T3, T4 for test doses, and Cardiac Px Titrate to take home (for use under the supervision of their physicians).

After someone has gone through the WT3 protocol with Cardiac Px Titrate what is the wean off procedure for Cardiac Px Titrate? If they have no heart complaints and no heart irregularities, they can just discontinue. They don't have to gradually lower the dose every day, they can just stop it without a problem.

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.
