Natural “Drāno” for your arteries?

It doesn’t look very appetizing… And it smells even worse.

But hidden inside this strange Japanese meal is an exotic extract that has modern-day scientists in a frenzy.

Why?

Because animal studies and clinical trials show it can literally dissolve artery-blocking clots and plaques—almost like pouring Drāno into a clogged pipe.

In fact, one animal study showed that it completely dissolved dangerous artery-blocking blood clots in just 5 hours.

But you should know—it’s not widely available in the U.S. 

Luckily, one of the world’s most sought-after natural medicine experts has all of the insider info on this clot-dissolving breakthrough. And he’s releasing it in this underground exposé.

When Your Doctor Won’t Listen, Do This

You go to doctors for one reason: To have them fix your health problems.

But physicians can’t help you if they don’t even take the time to listen to what your problems are.

And that’s exactly the case with most doctors, a study finds.

University of Florida researchers videotaped consultations between 112 patients and their doctors across America.

One would expect doctors to start exams by trying to find what’s wrong with their patients. Perhaps they would ask a question like, “What brings you here today?”

But the study found that just 36% of doctors asked them to describe their health issues.

And even when doctors did ask about health problems and patients tried to explain them, most doctors cut them off after an average of just 11 seconds.

Dr. Naykky Singh Ospina is an assistant professor in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the University of Florida. She led the study.

"Our results suggest that we are far from achieving patient-centered care," she said.

Specialists Listen Less Than Primary Care Doctors

Specialists were even worse. Only 20% gave patients the opportunity to describe their issue.

Researchers noted that specialists may have less reason to ask about health problems since they may already know why a patient was referred to them. But that is no excuse, said Dr. Singh Ospina.

“Even in a specialty visit concerning a specific matter, it is invaluable to understand why the patients think they are at the appointment and what specific concerns they have related to the condition or its management,” she said.

The study was published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

Don’t Let Your Doctor Give You the Bum’s Rush

The study authors suggest a few reasons why doctors aren’t listening to their patients:

  • They don’t get enough training on communicating with patients.
  • They are overbooked. Their time is stretched so thin, that they can’t afford to fully listen to their patients.

The lack of listening may be why so many doctors misdiagnose their patients’ illnesses.

A Mayo Clinic study found that only 12% of patients who came to the clinic were given a completely accurate diagnosis by their primary care doctor. About 20% of patients with serious conditions—like cancer—were told they had a completely different illness.

If you think your doctor is rushing you, politely interrupt him or her. Calmly and clearly explain your health concern. Be assertive. Doctors work for you. And you are paying them to provide a service.

If you don’t feel you are getting good service, find another doctor.

You have another weapon to help make sure you are getting the best care from your doctor…nurse practitioners.

Studies have found that nurse practitioners are actually better at simple diagnoses and treatments than doctors. That’s because they listen more closely and spend more time with patients.

Even on serious illnesses, nurse practitioners do as well as doctors. A 2015 study compared the diagnostic skills of doctors and nurse practitioners on complex medical cases. The study found no statistical difference.

What’s more, the nurses also equaled or bettered the doctors in recommending effective treatments.

A nurse practitioner is a nurse with extra training. See if your doctor’s office employs one. Consider making him or her part of your healthcare team.
