Conjective Heart Failure occurs when the cardiac output cannot meet the metabolic needs of the bodies tissues. It can be caused by myocardial infarction, aortic and mitrial sternosis, aortic regurgitation, myocarditis and systemic hypertension. A whole myriad of symptoms from coughing with sputum, peripheral edema, systemic congestion, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, mental confusion, tissure hypoxia, metabolic acidosis, dyspnea, orthopnea, tachypenea and cyanosis. To fully understand how and why we can the above mentioned symptoms, we need to understand the physiology of the heart.

Normal heart performance is related to the Cardiac Output which, is the product of heart rate multiplied by stroke volume (CO=HRXSV). Now heart rate can either increase or decrease. HR and SV will be adjusted and increased when we need more blood flow to an active tissue or in other words when the tissue is not receiving enough O2. In a failing heart we are unable to meet the O2 needs of the tissue. Therefore we continually adapt by making the heart work more to satisfy this discrepancy which further progresses heart failure. Now, asking “why is the heart failing to supply CO?” There are only two reasons. First, the heart may not fill properly leading to a reduced ventricular volume (EDV). Causes, could be failed venous return, inadequate blood volume, or a decreased ventricular size (hypertrophy). Either way, since EDV is one of the components of SV, a reduced EDV = reduced SV. This etiology is called Diastolic heart failure (diastolic being resting heart and during rest the heart should be filling but it isn’t). Second, the heart my not be able to contract forcefully enough and thus more blood is left in the ventricle following ventricular systole meaning that the ESV has increased and this being the second component of SV, an increased ESV is a reduced SV. This etiology of CHF is referred to as Systolic failure (failure to contract (systole) forcefully enough to eject the blood). Conditions that result in Systolic failures are failed blood supply to the myocardium (CAD) or a necrotic myocardium (MI) or a degenerative infectious disease (Myocarditis), or valve defects that allow the misdirection of blood or back flow. Therefore, CHF is either the result of a condition that reduces EDV or increases ESV and is referred to as Diastolic or Systolic Failure respectively.

Forward and Backward Effects

When the heart fails, two important considerations need be examined as they explain the manifestations of and a proper diagnosis for CHF. These considerations are called the Forward and Backward effects and they are specific as to which side of the heart is failing. If considering what each side of the heart is attempting to accomplish but can not because it is failing explains the forward effects and a progression of CHF. Conversely, since blood is continuously circulated, a failure to positively move blood will cause the system to back up thus, causing the backward effects and manifestations of CHF. Therefore by knowing where the blood in the ventricles was received from, we now can trace the backward movement and determine the congestion in the appropriate system. Now, examine the heart as it pertains to either right or left side. The example below attempts to relate the above considerations into a logical, systematic order using right heart failure as the disorder.

Right Side Failure Case Study

The right side of the heart pumps blood to the pulmonary system. Using a disorder that causes the lung to become congested (COPD), we have an increased pressure in the pulmonary circuit that the right heart must overcome to properly circulate the blood. The early adaptation to working against a high afterload is for the myocardium to enlarge (hypertophy). In other words, since the lung is backed up with blood, the right ventricle has to work harder to pump blood to the lungs. Hypertrophy is an innate response that reduces the size of the ventricle so it could pump harder and redueced volume also reduced the demand. Thus the EDV is reduced leading to a reduction in SV. If this pulmonary pressure (afterload) continues to rise and the right heart continues to reduce the SV, eventually the heart will not be able to make the adaptation necessary to meet the tissue’s O2 demands and thus CHF is apparent.

To examine the forward effects, determine what has been lost by not circulating the blood. The right side has decreased SV which, causes a decrease in left ventricular filling (EDV) which results in a decreased left heart stroke volume causing less oxygenated blood to reach the tissues. The body attempts to adapt and adequately supply the body’s oxygen needs through compensatory mechanisms (adjusting HR and Blood return to heart), which adds further stress on the heart and eventually the Left heart fails (condition known as biventricular failure). Additionally, bodily tissues become hypoxic.

Backward effects for Right heart failure are due to blood backing up in the system as the left heart continuously pumps more blood toward the lungs, and eventually the right heart can’t handle the load against it from the backflow from the lungs (preload, which is also increased as a compensatory mechanism). Therefore blood back-flows causing venous pressure to rise. At the capillary where fluid is returned to the venules, the pressure difference between interstitial and vascular forces now is decreased and excess fluid remains in the tissues resulting in systemic edema. This loss of blood volume can again be a stimulus for more compensatory mechanisms leading to a further stimulus to overwork the heart. Eventually, compensatory mechanisms fail and the patient enters shock and death or the heart enters cardiac arrest and all function is lost resulting in patient death.

Basically, the Right Side Heart failure always progresses to systemic edema due to the backward effects and this manifestation is a diagnostic tool. Next, the progression of the disease is the development of biventricular failure from over working the heart through activation of compensatory mechanisms. Therefore, the treatment of CHF is to reduce the compensatory mechanisms and prolong the life of the heart. In End stage or complete failure the only treatment is heart transplant.

W hy is the knowledge of one’s Metabolic Type [1] important? . . . Because, according to Healthexcel’s concepts, without knowing what it is, no rational basis exists for the selection of proper diet and nutritional supplementation, since how foods and nutrients behave in a given individual’s metabolism cannot otherwise be known. This conjecture is based upon a number of logically sequential premises that comprise the core of Healthexcel’s unique paradigm of balancing body chemistry and building health through The Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing [2]:

1. The human body is designed and genetically programmed to be healthy
   • Every one of the body’s approximately 100 trillion+ (100,000,000,000,000) [3] cells “knows” exactly what to do and how to do it properly, as per its genetic “program”
2. The Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing views the body as comprised of many different levels which are organized in a hierarchical fashion based upon complexity and function , whereby each higher level is protective of each lower level:
   [organism (highest, most complex level) —> system —> organ/gland —> tissue —> cell —> nuclear —> sub-nuclear —> etc.]
3. Health requires:
   • Homeostasis through Adaptation, i.e., the maintenance of Balance
     and Efficiency — biochemically, physiologically and metabolically –
     through all the various levels of the body in a state of dynamic equilibrium
   • The proper and timely quantitative presence of nutrients at the
     appropriate levels in the body
   • The proper and timely qualitative utilization of nutrients at the
     appropriate levels in the body  

     [All metabolic processes require the presence of the right amount of nutrients, in the right balance, at the right place, at the right time, and in the right form (one that is utilizable by those processes)]

4. Systemic efficiency (e.g., immune system) is based upon Organ/Glandular efficiency (e.g., thymus gland), which is based upon Cellular efficiency (e.g., thymus cells), which is based upon the optimum availability of Energy to the cells (e.g., through cellular oxidation), which depends on the ingestion, digestion, absorption, transportation, assimilation and the timely (quantitative and qualitative) utilization of the genetically-based proper balance of biochemical constituents (nutrition) provided at the right place, the right time, and in a form that is utilizable
5. There are many thousands of biochemical reactions that take place on a daily basis as part of the innumerable life-supporting processes of metabolism. But, they occur neither independently nor without the direction of fundametal homeostatic controls . . .
6. . . . Therefore, the potential for sufficient adaptation, continual homeostatic balance, and thereby good health is a measure of the body’s ability to manage stressors (spiritual, mental, emotional, structural, biochemical, environmental) through it’s capacity for the creation, maintenance and control of energy via the dualistic, diphasic, Fundamental Homeostatic Control Processes / Systems / Mechanisms [4], of which Healthexcel recognizes nine. They are:
   • Autonomic Nervous System (master regulator of metabolism, neuro-endocrine/hormonal balance)
     Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic [5]
   • Carbo-Oxidative System (conversion of nutrients to energy via intermediary carbohydrate metabolism, involving Glycolysis, Citric Acid (Krebs) Cycle, Beta Oxidation)
     Fast Oxidation vs. Slow Oxidation [6]
   • Lipo-Oxidative Processes (involving fatty acids/sterols balance, cell membrane permeability, aerobic/anaerobic metabolism)
     Catabolic vs. Anabolic [7]
   • Electrolyte/Fluid Balance
     Electrolyte Excess vs. Electrolyte Deficiency [8]
   • Acid/Alkaline Balance (6 potential acid/alkaline imbalances [Metabolic Acidosis, Metabolic Alkalosis, Respiratory Acidosis, Respiratory Alkalosis, Potassium Excess Acidosis, Potassium Depletion Alkalosis], resulting from 7 causal factors [autonomic, carbo-oxidative, lipo-oxidative, electrolyte/fluid balance, respiratory function, endocrine efficiencies (kidney, adrenal, ovary, teste, thyroid, posterior pituitary, parathyroid), chronic dietary imbalance with respect to acid/alkaline pH of foods]
     Acid vs. Alkaline [9]
   • Prostaglandin Balance
     Series 1 + Series 3 Prostaglandins vs. Series 2 Prostaglandins [10]
   • Endocrine System (Endocrine Type as per dominant energy gland)
     Pituitary vs. Thyroid vs. Adrenal vs. Gonad [11]
   • ABO Blood Type
     Type O vs. Type A vs. Type B vs. Type AB [12]
   • Constitutional Elements (constitutional qualities of foods interacting with the constitutional qualities of the body) [13]
   • Neurotransmitter Balance (brain chemistry balance and function)
     Excitatory vs. Inhibitory Neurotransmitters
7. The critical importance of nutrition in the question of health vs. disease is grasped through the understanding that every nutrient and every food has specific stimulatory or inhibitory effects on one or more of the Fundamental Homeostatic Control Mechanisms listed above
8. Genetic inheritance (in setting metabolic “design limits”), along with the impact of environmental and lifestyle factors, define one’s Metabolic Type (all aspects of biochemical individuality — spiritual, mental, emotional, structural, physiological, biochemical — as expressed through the fundamental homeostatic controls above), thus forming the basis for the determination of individual nutritional requirements
9. Different metabolic types require different balances of nutrients, foods and protein/fat/carbohydrate ratios in their dietary intakes in order to meet the dictates of their biochemical individuality for gaining and maintaining optimal health
10. Failure to meet genetically-based, metabolic type nutritional requirements lays the foundation for degenerative disease
    • How degenerative diseases manifest is largely determined by one’s genetic “weak link”
    • Two individuals may have identical nutritional imbalances, but one may develop diabetes, whereas the other may develop arthritis
11. The Genetic Type (the metabolic type one is born with) can functionally change due to stress, environmental factors, improper diet, stimulants, chemical abuse, illness, etc., to a different metabolic type, therefore one’s Functional Type (the metabolic type one is currently functioning as) can be different from one’s Genetic Type
12. The Functional Type defines the current manner in which the body reacts to biochemical stimulation (foods, nutrients) and different metabolic types react differently to the same nutrient(s) [see #17 below]
13. The evaluation and determination of biochemical, metabolic individuality (Metabolic Type) and thereby the determination of individual ecological lifestyle requirements is the purpose of The Healthexcel System Of Metabolic Typing
14. Diseases (and all adverse symptoms) should not be viewed as entities for which treatment/therapy is required, for in actuality, dis-eases are instead the expressions of underlying biochemical imbalances in one or more of the Fundamental Homeostatic Controls in the metabolic type through which they are manifesting
    • This biochemical reality demands that the person who has the disease should be treated, not the disease that has the person
15. No diseases or adverse symptomatology can exist without the involvement of an imbalance in one or more of the Fundamental Homeostatic Controls as expressed through the Functional Metabolic Type
16. Any given disease may arise from virtually opposite biochemical imbalances in different metabolic types. (Two people with the same disease may have opposite biochemical imbalances) Therefore . . .
    • . . . A successful, standardized, nutritional/biochemical treatment (allopathic) for any given disease — one effective nutritional solution/remedy for a given condition that is correct for all people with that condition — is not possible
17. Any given nutrient can have virtually opposite biochemical influences in different metabolic types (one’s food is another’s poison), depending on which Fundamental Homeostatic Control is being affected or is dominant . This is called The Dominance Factor [14]. Therefore, . . .
    • . . . What can correct a condition in one metabolic type, can worsen the same condition in a different metabolic type , or have little to no effect on a third metabolic type
    • Thus, the allopathic (symptom-treatment) approach using nutrition to treat disease has no logical basis; chance, not scientific rationale, will dictate success or failure of nutritional allopathy (pharmaceutical nutrition) in the treatment of degenerative conditions
    • Furthermore, all scientific research as regards the effects of nutrition on human metabolism that is not performed on subjects of a homogenous metabolic type will always result in variable and inconclusive results (This is why all results of nutritional research conclude that the nutritional substance tested improved a condition in some, had little effect on others, and worsened the condition in a third subject population)
18. Nutrients behave differently on different levels Differences in nutrient behavior are seen in terms of their:
    • Stimulatory/catabolic/acid effects, or
    • Sedative/anabolic/alkaline effects

    due to their influence(s) on:

    • Hierarchic Organizational Levels [For example, the Tissue vs. the Cell level, where calcium is catabolic (alkaline) at the cell level and anabolic (acid) at the tissue level], and
    • One side or the other, of one or more of the dualistic, diphasic, Fundamental Homeostatic Control Systems (inhibiting or stimulating sympathetic or parasympathetic, fast oxidation or slow oxidation, anabolic or catabolic, acid or alkaline, etc.) [For example, potassium is sedating and alkalinizing when stimulating the Parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, yet is acidifying when increasing the Carbo-Oxidative rate]
      

      Note: The acid or alkaline property of a nutrient or food is only one of many potential determinants of overall systemic pH. Determining influences include, but are not limited to: autonomic (sympathetic/parasympathetic), carbo-oxidative (fast/slow oxidation), lipo-oxidative (catabolic/anabolic), respiration, electrolyte balance, organ/gland influences (adrenal, kidney, pituitary, thyroid, gonad), and finally, chronic ingestion of acid or alkaline foods. It is not so much the acid/alkaline nature of a food as it is the ultimate influence on the dominating Fundamental Homeostatic Control Mechanism that determines systemic pH

    • There is no nutrient that is good for everyone. There is no nutrient that is bad for everyone. Whether or not a nutrient is good or bad, or whether or not a nutrient (or food) should be employed for a certain condition does not depend on some inherent quality of the nutrient, but rather on the ultimate effect of the nutrient on the dominant fundamental homeostatic control system in the given individual’s metabolic type. [For example, anti-oxidants for someone with an aerobic imbalance (oxidation out of control) would be “good” by contributing to resolving the imbalance. But, anti-oxidants employed on someone with an anaerobic imbalance (such as someone with anabolic/anaerobic cancer lesions) could prove deadly!]
19. When adversities or imbalances occur, they originate from a certain level (spiritual, mental, emotional, environmental, biochemical (systemic, organal, tissular, cellular, nuclear, subnuclear). Thus, because
    • Any given problem may arise from virtually opposite biochemical imbalances in different metabolic types (two different metabolic types could have the same disease), and . . .
    • Nutrients may behave differently on different levels (calcium is catabolic at the cellular level and anabolic at the tissue level), and . . .
    • Any given nutrient may have virtually opposite influences in different metabolic types (potassium is alkalinizing in an Autonomic Dominant and acidifying in a Carbo-Oxidative dominant), . . .

    • . . . Without identifying the level of origin of a problem through understanding one’s metabolic type, predictable, reliably effective nutrient selection may not be possible

The Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing does not treat disease , but rather seeks to build health and balance body ecology through properly evaluating, identifying and addressing each person’s biochemical individuality, thus unleashing the body’s natural, inherent and powerful capabilities for restoration, rejuvenation and radiant good health, programmed into every one of the body’s 100 trillion cells — a state far beyond that of merely being free of symptoms.
