Plaquex Therapy

What is Plaquex Therapy®?

Plaquex therapy is an intravenous treatment using a compound containing polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC), a vital component of cell membranes. It aims to repair damaged cell membranes, reduce plaque buildup, improve your LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing your beneficial HDL cholesterol levels, leading to overall improvements  in cardiovascular health.

How Plaquex Therapy Works and Its Benefits

Plaquex therapy utilizes phosphatidylcholine (PC), a key component of cell membranes, to improve cardiovascular health and overall cellular function. Here’s how it works and the benefits it offers:

• Cell Membrane Repair: PC helps restore and strengthen damaged cell membranes throughout the body, improving cellular function and communication. This enhances overall cellular health, particularly beneficial as we age and face damage from toxins, stress, and natural aging processes.
• Plaque Dissolution and Cardiovascular Health: The therapy targets cholesterol-rich arterial plaque, helping to break it down and facilitate its removal from the bloodstream. This process reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, potentially lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• Improved Lipid Profile: Plaquex therapy can help optimize cholesterol levels by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels. This improvement in lipid profile further contributes to cardiovascular health.
• Enhanced Blood Flow: By reducing arterial plaque and improving cellular health, Plaquex therapy promotes better circulation throughout the body. This can lead to increased energy levels and reduced symptoms of peripheral artery disease.
• Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: The treatment has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. These effects could benefit overall health and potentially slow age-related degenerative processes.
• Liver Support: PC aids in liver function by supporting the organ’s ability to process and eliminate toxins and excess fats, contributing to overall health.
• Natural Approach: Plaquex offers a drug-free alternative for those seeking a natural approach to cardiovascular and cellular health, making it an attractive option for many patients.

By addressing these multiple aspects of cellular and cardiovascular health, Plaquex therapy aims to improve overall well-being through a comprehensive, natural approach.

The Benefits of Phosphatidylcholine (PC) in Plaquex

Phosphatidylcholine (PC), the main constituent in Plaquex Therapy, makes up all cellular membranes in the body and is the transport vehicle for cholesterol, such as HDL and LDL. Cell membranes consist of a double layer of PC molecules. PC has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, can lower chronic inflammation, stimulate the body’s natural healing and repair processes, and is critical to recovering from many chronic health conditions.

As we age, the PC in the cell membranes becomes damaged by toxins, detergents, free radicals, heavy metals, smoking, hypertension, high blood sugar, and high levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. The body can no longer produce enough PC to repair this damage, leading to cardiovascular disease with plaque deposits in the blood vessels, liver damage, kidney damage, and brain damage.

IV Plaquex Therapy supplies the body with an abundance of PC that it can use for cellular membrane repairs, improvements to circulation, and as a system-wide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Why Consider Plaquex Therapy?

As we get older, our body’s repair systems don’t work as well because possibly because we can’t produce enough of phosphatidylcholine. This makes our cell membranes less flexible, causing enzymes, electrolyte channels, and receptors to malfunction. As a result, our blood vessels can get damaged, leading to scar tissue, plaque buildup, and even blood clots.

1. Lowers harmful (LDL) cholesterol levels and VLDL
2. Increases beneficial levels of HDL (healthy cholesterol)
3. Lowers Triglycerides
4. Reduces Lipid Peroxidation
5. Reduces Platelet Aggregation
6. Improves RBC deformability
7. Reduces Endocytosis
8. Reduces plaque deposition in the artery wall
9. Supports heart post-myocardial infarction and post-stroke
10. Improves Colitis, Crohn’s disease, and gut lining
11. Improves liver & kidney health
12. Improves skin health
13. Helpful for Autoimmune diseases
14. Beneficial for Diabetes, particularly its complications
15. General health and anti-aging
16. Useful for Emphysema and COPD
17. Increases Enzyme activity such as LCAT
18. Anti-Inflammatory
19. Increases antioxidants (Glutathione)
20. Activates Immune Cells
21. Reduces Mast Cell Formation
22. Cell Membrane Repair

How is Plaquex Therapy Administered?

Plaquex Therapy is administered intravenously over 90 minutes. A minimum of 20-40 Plaquex therapy infusions is suggested. In severe cases of heart disease (Bypass and Angioplasty candidates), up to 45 or more treatments with Plaquex therapy may be required. Plaquex Therapy can be alternated with classical Chelation treatments.

Preparing for Plaquex Therapy

Before the first Plaquex therapy treatment, a check-up is usually done by the treating physician, who will discuss your current use of medications such as Beta-Blockers, Nitroglycerin and supplements, diet, and exercise with you. Blood samples will be taken to determine important serum parameters of organ function, which will be monitored during your Plaquex treatments.

The Importance of Plaquex Maintenance Therapy

Plaquex therapy doesn’t address the root cause of plaque deposits. To prevent recurrence, work with our health practitioners to identify and manage the underlying issue. Regular follow-ups with our doctors are essential to monitor your stability and lab markers. In some cases, a yearly maintenance program of 10–12 treatments may be recommended, along with Plaquex Oral soft gels to sustain results. Your lifestyle and health conditions will also impact the need for future maintenance.

Other Plaquex Therapy Applications

Take a deep dive and learn more about the benefits of Plaquex for other conditions.

Plaquex Therapy for Liver Damage

Plaquex can help restore cell membranes in the liver using phosphatidylcholine (PC), which reduces damage from toxins like carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, and certain medications. PC has also been shown to reduce liver fat deposits and delay cirrhosis. Clinical trials confirm that Plaquex improves liver function and speeds recovery in cases of toxic liver damage, fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis, leading to faster symptom relief compared to untreated patients.

Plaquex Therapy for Kidney Health or Damage

Plaquex helps improve kidney function by restoring cell membrane health, aiding in the filtration of waste and fluids. Studies show it benefits various kidney diseases, including glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome, by reducing swelling and increasing albumin levels. It also improves kidney function and cholesterol levels in patients with renal insufficiency. Plaquex may enhance waste removal during home dialysis (CAPD) and reduce symptoms in pregnant women with preeclampsia. Overall, Plaquex offers a promising treatment for improving kidney health.

Plaquex Therapy for Gut Health

Plaquex, rich in phosphatidylcholine, forms a protective layer on the stomach lining, helping prevent damage from stomach acid and NSAIDs, which can irritate and erode the lining. It repairs the protective layer and boosts natural protective substances, reducing the risk of NSAID-induced damage. Human and animal studies confirm Plaquex’s effectiveness in minimizing stomach lining damage and ulcer formation caused by these medications.

Plaquex Therapy for Psoriasis and Neurodermitis

Phosphatidylcholine (PC), a key component of Plaquex, has been shown to improve symptoms of psoriasis, neurodermatitis, and seborrheic eczema. Since 1983, studies have combined PC with treatments like PUVA radiation, sea-salt baths, and sunlight, enhancing results. These studies found that adding PC supplements to traditional therapies led to quicker symptom relief, fewer treatment sessions, and a lower recurrence rate. Some patients experienced complete skin issue resolution within 2-4 months.

The History of Plaquex Therapy

Plaquex® has been used for over 70 years in many countries, originally developed to dissolve fatty embolisms during trauma surgery. In the 1990s, its use expanded to treat plaque buildup, often alongside EDTA chelation therapy. It became widely adopted, with hundreds of doctors using Plaquex to treat conditions like liver and kidney disease.

Dr. Sam Baxas discovered its effectiveness after treating his wife’s chest pains, which resolved with Plaquex and regular maintenance. This led to widespread use for cardiovascular health and anti-aging. Today, his daughters, Anita and Jacky Baxas, continue to promote its benefits globally.
