1) People who claim to open blocked arteries with herbal medicines that they have developed themselves or imported do not have any scientific data.

In order to be able to apply a drug or a treatment method to people with that disease, four-stage researches are carried out over many years.

• Firstly, drug efficacy at cellular and tissue level is demonstrated in laboratories. 
• Then the efficacy and side effects are analysed in animal experiments.
• Treatment is trialled in a limited number of patients and all effects are investigated with close follow-up.
• Drug safety is tested with studies in larger numbers of patients.

All these data are discussed by specialised physicians in scientific meetings. Then it is published in scientific journals, shared with all physicians in the world both in print and on the internet, and criticised when necessary. After all this process, it is released to the market as a medicine and can only be prescribed by physicians who are specialised in that disease.

Products claimed to be herbal do not go through any of these stages. They are marketed with sentences that have no scientific value, such as ‘We tried it in a hundred patients, a thousand patients, we were 99% successful!’. These products, which have neither cellular studies nor side-effect analyses in a large number of patients, are marketed in order to gain unfair profits.

2) People who are diagnosed with vascular occlusion lose time and suffer permanent damage by saying ‘I will try medication first, if not, I will have surgery’. Early diagnosis saves lives, time is money!

People who believe in these herbal superstitions and who really have vascular occlusion can lose their lives by having a heart attack during this lost time. Even if there is no loss of life, the contraction of the heart muscle deteriorates due to the crisis and they become heart failure patients. Even if these people undergo surgery and their vessels return to normal circulation, heart failure continues (shortness of breath, leg and abdominal swelling, limitation of effort) and they cannot reach the ideal success we achieve with early treatment.

3) Vascular occlusion is a chronic disease that occurs over many years.

Studies show that the onset of vascular occlusion can occur at an early age. Vascular occlusion is primarily a genetic disease. Smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, which cause damage within the vessel over the years, predispose the vessel to blockage. Firstly, the body damages itself while trying to eliminate intravascular damage with immune cells and cholesterol begins to accumulate in these damaged areas. Then, the immune system, which tries to destroy this accumulation, further increases the stenosis in a vicious circle. With the deterioration of the surface of the existing stenosis, the clotting cells completely block the vessel and a heart attack occurs.

As can be seen, atherosclerosis is a complex and lengthy process. We have a wide range of treatments depending on where it is in this process and the location and severity of the stenosis. There is no single cure for everything, as herbal superstitions claim. For more than half a century, treatments for cardiovascular diseases have been developed and standardised.

4) The symptoms of atherosclerosis are different depending on which organ or area the atherosclerosis is located in.

Although atherosclerosis (atherosclerosis) is used as a general term, it is very different where, how severe it is and when and how it is treated.

It is most common in the heart vessels and causes heart attacks. Heart attack-related diseases are still the most common cause of death in our country and in the world. When vascular occlusion occurs in the carotid arteries feeding the brain in the neck, it causes permanent brain damage due to paralysis. When there is a blockage in the leg vein, gangrene may occur in the foot, followed by loss of limb. Kidney vein or intestinal vein blockages lead to the loss of these organs. In other words, all these diseases under the heading of vascular occlusion have different treatments. Sometimes we treat them with medication, sometimes we perform an emergency angioplasty and stenting, and sometimes we perform bypass surgery. The cardiologist and cardiovascular surgeon decide which of all these treatments will be performed by making a council.

Herbal superstitions, far from all this knowledge and labour, rapidly drag you to the consequences of all these diseases that we fear by telling you to drink this syrup, boil this herb, swallow this pill (not saying medicine!). While you can continue your life normally with the accumulation of years and early diagnosis, lives are put at risk with these time losses.

5) The degree to which the blood vessel is blocked and the symptoms are not always compatible.

6) You can prevent or delay the onset of vascular blockage by living a healthy lifestyle and using real medication.

7) As long as your blood vessels are exposed to harmful influences, the blockage will recur.

8) There are different ways to remove a blood vessel blockage.

9) Some vascular blockages can lead to sudden loss of life, do not waste time.

10) Vascular occlusions recognised at a young age should be treated in a long-lasting manner.
