The
Acoustic Cardiograph (ACG) was invented by the renowned Dr. Royal Lee,
who was also the founder of Standard Process Labs and whole food nutritional
supplements. In the 1930's-50's doctors were trained to diagnose many
disease
processes by listening to the heart tones. The rhythm, rate, and tone
of the heart all relate to the health and status of other organs. Much
like an acupuncturist diagnosing by feeling the pulse at your wrist,
naturopathic doctors diagnosed by listening to the high, low, sharp,
dull, or bounding
sounds of the heart. Dr. Lee created a listening device called the Electro
Cardiograph to put onto paper a graph of what the doctors were diagnosing
by listening. This current, more sensitive device is the acoustic cardiograph,
or ACG. Dr.Watrous and Dr. Potenza will utilize both the cardiograph
analysis as well as
listening to your heart with the stethoscope to monitor your nutritional
and digestive progress.
