Summary
- By abandoning my teaching from medical school; I am using new concepts of health and disease with health being a balance of degeneration and regeneration influenced by inflammation. These fundamental laws of biology are useful to understand the clinical benefits of EECP therapy, successfully treat peripartum immune disease, proving a low inflammatory diet, exercise, and weight loss should be the primary treatment of diabetes II. These concepts clearly illustrate that inflammation and lymphatic dysfunction is the cause of heart failure exacerbations. My intentions are to improve the inflammatory degenerative condition of dialysis patients and improve heart failure with electromechanical remodeling.
