"Optimal Nutrition” and “Electromedicine”
..."These results clearly indicate that the “selective
current” (a form of Electromedicine) treatment can produce
marked improvements in the objective disease parameters of AS (atherosclerosis)
and TAO (
thromboagiitis obliterans) of lower limbs. These improvements
are greater and longer lasting than those offered by any method
of treatment presently known, pharmacological or surgical. Such
improvements have been achieved to a similar degree in each and
every treated patient, and from my experience persist for months
or even years in those who have not adopted the “ optimal
nutrition”. Most importantly, concomitant implementation
of the “optimal diet” delivers even greater improvement
in every one of these parameters in a very short period of time.
In these patients, a complete abatement of disease symptoms occurs
normally within a few months, and eventually a full recovery (cure)
is obtained, provided the patient continues the “optimal
diet”.
...."In summary, the combined treatment consisting of the
“selective current” stimulation and the implementation
of the “optimal nutrition” is the only form of treatment
known currently to man which produces marked and prolonged improvements
in the objective parameters, and an eventual cure, of clinically
incurable vascular diseases, AS and TAO. Therefore, the "optimal
nutrition" is the causal treatment of those diseases. This
form of treatment is cheap, easy to implement and does not involve
any mechanical or chemical intervention. Finally, neither the “selective
currents” nor the “optimal nutrition” are detrimental
to human health. In fact, in my clinical practice, involving thousands
of patients, the “optimal nutrition” with or without
treatment with the “selective currents” has been shown
to markedly and permanently improve symptoms, or to cure, many other
diseases including diabetes (type I & II), Alzheimer’s
and Parkinson’s disease, asthma, migraine, neurosis, digestive
tract diseases and others."
Dr. Kwasniewski's work with
diet and electromedicine (selective currents) is quite an verification
of my views on Electromedicine:
..." Electromedical
therapies when used skillfully are good solutions as interim
measures but will not sustain one in the long run. Primarily, I
suspect, they work by modifying cell membrane permeability and electrocution
of some pathogens - thus allowing better nutrient uptake in the
effected regions allowing for very rapid healing (again it boils
down to nutrients and one's ability to utilize them)."... See

“Optimal Nutrition”
and “Selective Currents” as a treatment of atherosclerosis
and Buerger’s disease of the lower limbs.
MD Jan Kwasniewski
Introduction
This paper compares effects of the “selective current”
treatment received by patients of Military Sanatorium in Ciechocinek
during the years 1969 – 1974, who were on a typical diet (Group
A), with effects of a similar “selective current” treatment
received by patients of Health Academy “Arkadia” in
Ciechocinek and Cedzyna during the years 1987 – 1989, who
were on the “optimal diet” (Group B).
Both groups consisted of patients suffering from atherosclerosis
(AS) or Buerger’s disease also known as thromboagiitis obliterans
(TAO), of the lower limbs.
Methods
Group A consisted of 100 patients with AS and 60 patients with
TAO, all of whom spent a standard period of 24 days in the sanatorium,
and who were fed a standard 5 meal/day sanatorium diet. Group B
consisted of 190 patients with AS and 53 with TAO all of whom spent
a period of 14 days in one of the Arkadias, and who were fed the
“optimal diet”, structured in such a way as to deliver
about 65% of caloric intake as fat (mainly animal), about 20% as
proteins (exclusively animal) and 15% as carbohydrate (mainly starch).
On average, the patients in the Group B, particularly those suffering
from TAO, presented with markedly more advanced disease stage than
patients in the Group A. Thus, out of 53 of those with TAO in Group
B, as many as 41 had later stages of the disease, characterised
by extensive ulceration of lower limbs. Of those, 36 also had severe
neuralgic pain at rest (stage IV). In contrast, the majority of
patients in Group A presented with mild (stage I) TAO, with only
a few showing minor ulcerations, but no resting pain (stage II).
In Group B TAO patients, only 29 of all lower limbs were suitable
for testing using the exertion test. The remaining 77 limbs were
either missing (amputation) or could not be tested by either of
these methods due to severe resting pains.
In all patients, severity of disease assessment was performed by
testing before the start of the “selective current”
treatment and again at the end of a 24-day or 14-day stay. In all
patients, the testing procedure included the so-called distance
of lameness (walking distance until the pain threshold is reached)
and the so-called Kwasniewski’s test (calf muscle strength
test performed by raising the whole body weight on the toes of one
foot while standing with an extended arm against the wall). The
effects of treatment were assessed using four disease parameters
as described below in the legend of Table 1. In addition, only patients
from Group A were assessed in terms of shortening of the time of
motor chronaxy of calf muscle, improvement of oscillometric indicator
measured on the calf, and an increase in the skin surface temperature,
measured in °C at eight predetermined points on the feet.
All patients were treated with the “selective current”
generated by the Pentapuls”
current generator (made to order for the author). All patients
received treatment in the supine position. One stimulating electrode
was positioned under the feet and the other under the lower lumbar
region. The polarity of electrodes (direction of current) was not
maintained constant between each session or for each patient. The
same type of electrical current – the so-called PS current
(parasympathetic; 12 Hz, 110V) was used for each patient. The amperage
of current (in the range of 1 - 62 mA) was set individually so each
patient could feel a strong current sensation, without undue discomfort.
That type of electrical current selectively stimulates peripheral
neurones of the parasympathetic system, causing dilation of arteries
and lymphatics, and improvement in venous circulation. The selective
current” sessions in Group A were of 15-min duration and were
applied over 16 consecutive days (total duration of 240 min), whereas
for those in the Group B, sessions lasted 20 min and were performed
over 10 days in succession (total duration of 200 min).
Results
The objective comparison between the improvements achieved by the
two groups of patients is difficult, because the severity of the
disease, particularly TAO, was markedly greater in Group B. However,
as can be seen in Table 1, greater improvement in most of the assessed
disease parameters was obtained by Group B patients, even though
the overall length of treatment period with the “selective
currents” and the stay in the Arkadia were shorter. The most
striking improvements were obtained in terms of the distance of
lameness and the calf muscle strength in the patients who, apart
from benefiting from the “selective current” treatment,
also clearly benefited from dietary change to the optimal model
of human nutrition as devised by the author. It has to be stressed
that none of the sanatorium patients, suffering from either AS or
TAO, who did not receive the “selective current” treatment
showed any improvement in their disease symptoms during their stay.
However, there are no records on how many of such "control"
patients visited the sanatorium during the study period.
A similar improvement in muscle strength (+68%) was also shown
by 212 patients with Multiple Sclerosis who underwent the same treatment
in Arkadias during the same period (results not shown).
