Summary
This study explores alternative and auxiliary medicine for cardiovascular disease prevention. It covers nutrition, supplements, and non-medicinal therapies to manage heart health.
Area of Science:
- Integrative Medicine
- Cardiovascular Health
- Nutritional Science
Context:
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent a significant global health burden.
- Conventional treatments are often supplemented by alternative and auxiliary medicine (AAM) approaches.
- Evidence-based practices are crucial for integrating AAM into patient care.
Purpose:
- To provide a comprehensive overview of AAM for cardiovascular disease prevention and management.
- To analyze the efficacy and clinical applications of non-medicinal therapies.
- To highlight the role of nutrition, bioactive supplements, micronutrients, and phytotherapy in CVD prevention.
Summary:
- Part 1 addresses general AAM issues and evidence-based nutrition for cardiovascular patients.
- Part 2 details the use of food products, supplements, micronutrients, and phytotherapy in CVD prevention.
- Part 3 critically examines specific non-medicinal AAM methods and their clinical use.
Impact:
- Offers insights into complementary strategies for cardiovascular health.
- Supports the integration of evidence-based AAM into clinical practice.
- Provides a foundation for further research into non-pharmacological interventions for CVDs.

01:29Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.
02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

01:29Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:54The Placebo Effect
The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.
02:40The Scientific Method
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
