CVAC Systems, Inc. (www.cvacsystems.com) announced today an agreement with Los Gatos, Calif.-based TempusClinic to study the potential value of
the CVAC process in managing and treating diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. The study is expected to commence next month.
CVAC Systems has developed a new, noninvasive modality for the treatment of metabolic derangement, which includes diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Data published in
respected peer-reviewed journals have shown significant improvement in metabolic insulin efficiency and glycemic control (in animals and man) with the use of intermittent hypoxic (high
altitude) training (IHT). Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning (CVAC) is a scientifically validated IHT process which triggers the human body's8217;s natural high-altitude
adaptation response. CVAC, however, produces the beneficial effects of high-altitude adaptation via IHT while significantly reducing the required exposure time for IHT. Other techniques
providing IHT require exposure ranging from 21 to 84 hours per week; CVAC exposures require less than 4.5 hours per week.
's8220;There are more than 90 million individuals in the U.S. and some 200 million worldwide who suffer from metabolic derangement,'s8221; said Allen J. Ruszkowski, President and CEO of
CVAC Systems. 's8220;The cost of treating diabetes alone, which is just one of the forms of metabolic derangement, is over $125 billion annually in the U.S. In addition, there are an
estimated 50 million Americans with metabolic syndrome, another form of metabolic derangement, who have a fivefold increased probability of developing diabetes and a twofold increased
risk in developing cardiovascular disease. Currently, physicians lack a successful treatment regimen to help their patients other than browbeating the patient to change diet, lose weight
and exercise, which has very poor compliance.'s8221;
's8220;TempusClinic uses a four-part integrated program to help our clients achieve metabolic turnaround. We combine the best of today's8217;s science, the most advanced technologies, and
the most natural means by which our clients may achieve their health and fitness goals,'s8221; added Mike Nichols, M.D., CEO and Founder of TempusClinic. 's8220;We are, therefore, very
interested in studying the CVAC process, which we believe will go hand-in-hand with our programs. We are always looking for scientifically validated non-invasive, non-toxic approaches to
health advancement,'s8221; said Dr. Nichols.
