Major Study Confirms Effectiveness & Safety of Tibetan Remedy for Vascular Pain (press release)
by NaturalNews
EcoNugenics, a dietary supplement company announced today that a recent meta-analysis of 19 published studies and clinical trials determined that a Tibetan herbal product, called Padma Basic is safe and effective in providing significant relief for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD),is a serious condition that causes vascular pain in the legs and can lead to grave consequences, if left untreated. The meta-analysis was conducted on 2084 patients with PAOD and published in the May issue of Atherosclerosis, the International Journal for Research and Investigation and Related Diseases, the official journal of the European Atherosclerosis Society. Current FDA approved drugs have shown some limited benefit to treating PAD, but often the side effects make such treatments undesirable.
�This is excellent news for PAD patients and their physicians,� said Mark Blumenthal, founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit American Botanical Council. �This meta-analysis provides significant evidence of the safety and benefits of Padma Basic for PAD patients. Further, it provides added documentation that a multi-herb combination formula can meet the rigors of scientific testing to show beneficial activity for a serious medical condition.�
Up to eighteen million Americans have been diagnosed with PAD, but according to the research done by The Sage Group, it is estimated that there may be as many as 90 million Americans who suffer from this condition. Many people feel it when they are walking, a distinct pain or cramping in the calf. The pain comes and goes � and it�s often ignored or chalked up to getting older. Medical experts are in agreement that it needs to get checked out, because it could be PAD.
Similar to blocked blood vessels in the heart or brain that lead to heart disease or a stroke, blockages from atherosclerotic plaque that occur in the legs, left untreated, can cause many problems up to and including amputation and death. �PAD is vastly underappreciated, despite its alarming mortality rates,� said Isaac Eliaz, M.D. and founder of EcoNugenics.
