Meridian Welcomes Dr. Barry Sears to its Client List
Meridian Co., Ltd. ("Meridian") (OTC BB: MRDAF) is pleased to announce that Dr. Barry Sears has joined Meridian’s growing client list and has purchased 5 units of the Digital Pulse Analyzer specifically to use the Heart Rate Variability (“HRV”) software. Dr. Barry Sears, a renowned research scientist and famed creator of the Zone Diet, will use the HRV software to non-invasively test for the presence of silent inflammation. The relationship of silent inflammation (i.e. inflammation below the threshold of perceived pain) is clearly articulated in Dr. Sears’ latest book, “The Anti-Inflammation Zone” (available in January 2005). His latest work may be considered the most important book ever written by Dr. Sears as silent inflammation is a growing epidemic in America, and appears to be the underlying cause of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Equally important is that silent inflammation can be reversed by the Zone Diet as recently indicated by research from Harvard Medical School. Published research has strongly suggested that decreased HRV may indicate the presence of silent inflammation.
More About: Heart Rate Variability (“HRV”)
HRV measures the variation in the length of the intervals, measured in milliseconds between heart beats. Studies have shown that low HRV is a valuable indicator or predictor of illness and mortality, especially sudden cardiac death. Other chronic conditions associated with low HRV can include: depression, anxiety, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes. It has been shown that all of these chronic conditions also have a strong linkage to silent inflammation.
HRV shows how well a person adapts to changes in the environment. In a healthy individual there is a coordination or balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that allow us to deal with internal and external stress. The impact of emotional and physical stress can be monitored by measuring HRV. More About: The Anti-Inflammation Zone
While there is no drug that can safely treat silent inflammation on a long-term basis, Dr. Sears’ own research as well as that of others demonstrate that it can be reversed through the combination of the Zone Diet and high-dose fish oil. Dr. Sears also outlines, in The Anti-Inflammation Zone, there will be severe adverse consequences for the American health-care system if the current epidemic of silent inflammation is not reversed. The published research documented in The Anti-Inflammation Zone strongly suggests that reduction of silent inflammation will:
