Plaquex® Phosphatidylcholine (PTC)

Plaquex® Phosphatidylcholine (PTC) is specially formulated to reduce plaque in arteries. PTC supports healthy liver function, reduces inflammation, and improves memory. It also improves your cellular function resulting in increased energy levels.

The Plaquex® Formula has been in use for the past 70 years in about one-fourth of the world’s countries. It was originally developed to dissolve fatty embolus during and after trauma surgery. It is also used to treat liver and kidney disease.

In the 1990’s the use shifted to treating plaque deposits. The treatment was mostly done in combination with EDTA chelation infusions. Since then results have been so dramatic, that it has become a treatment in its own right.

Not only is the Plaquex® Formula used to remove fatty and hardened plaque from blood vessels, it is also applied for general anti aging purposes. By observing their patients, many doctors discovered that the patients started looking younger and healthier after they have had about 20 treatments. It has applications in liver and kidney disease, protecting the stomach lining from NSAID damage and in Psoriasis patients.

Frequency of treatments Plaquex has a half-life of about 32 hours. Therefore, treatments should not be given daily. It can be given three times per week, for example, Monday – Wednesday – Friday.

Most patients though don’t have the time to come in so often. Twice weekly treatments work well for most. Amount of treatments The amount of treatments needed depends on the severity of the problem. Occlusions of more than 95 %, that are health threatening should not be treated by Plaquex as a faster solution, for example surgery may be necessary.

The minimum amount of treatments is 20 infusions. Severe problems may need up to 50 or more infusions. Once the treatments are finished and the patient has improved, maintenance treatments must be done at least once per month to maintain the results. Plaquex doesn’t cure the underlying cause of the atherosclerosis; the disease will progress again once Plaquex is stopped unless other measures including diet and supplements are taken to prevent plaque buildup. A good preventative is Plaquex oral softgels as they help to keep the blood lipids normalized and improve blood flow properties. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and keep the red blood cells pliable.

IV Phosphatidylcholine (PC)

・ Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid, a phosphate group molecularly combined with a lipid. These molecules make up the cell membranes. Functionally, PC enhances the free passage of nutrients into the cell while escorting waste out. By doing so, it works to enhance the process of the metabolism within a cell.

Uses of Phosphatidylcholine:

・ Cognition and Nerve Health:

・ The brain itself is 60% lipids and maintaining the right balance of phospholipids in neuronal cellular membranes is critical for brain functioning. Healthy cell membranes allow nerve impulses to fire correctly. ・ PC as a source of choline to produce acetylcholine, one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in the brain, contribute to maintaining brain health.

・ Mitochondrial health:

・ PC is also the most abundant phospholipid in the mitochondrial membrane.

・ Cardiovascular health:

・ PC helps with healthy cholesterol balance, as it helps to increase HDL’s ability to remove LDL from the blood; there it may help with atherosclerosis.

・ Mold toxicity:

・ Mycotoxins from mold can cause chronic inflammation, which then compromises the phospholipid bilayer of cells membranes. This can cause vulnerability in your cells, including brain and nerve cells. PC may help neuropsychiatric symptoms. ・ PC is also a key component in liver health. It is one of the primary ingredients of bile, which helps us break down and digest fats.

・ Healthy Barriers in the Gastrointestinal Tract:

・ PC makes up 90% of the phospholipids in the intestinal mucosa, the mucus layer in the gut that protects the body from pathogens. Phosphatidylcholine is helpful in inflammatory bowel disease, leaky gut and various gastrointestinal issues.

・ Possible short-term effects of IV Phosphatidylcholine:

*Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may occur up to several hours AFTER the infusion is completed. Symptoms of hypoglycemia might include: shaking, tremor, irritability, anxiety, dizziness or unexpected hunger. The treatment for this is to eat healthy carbohydrates and hydrate well to correct this. ・

*Flushing of the gall bladder can occur when IV phosphatidylcholine is administered. Some people experience right upper quadrant abdominal pain/discomfort or right shoulder pain/discomfort or nausea during the IV therapy. If the you experience these symptoms, just let us know and we will slow the rate of IV to manage this side effect. This side effect is temporary, normal and will improve after infusion finishes.
