Our Philosophy
Our Goal Achieved: Zero strokes or heart attacks in 10 years 1000+ patients!
The CureCenter uses evidence-based strategies to reverse Chronic Cardiometabolic Disease for durable remission. Our goal is to Cure, not just manage. The BaleDoneen Method to reverse arterial disease is one of those strategies.
Dr. Bradley Bale (a family physician) and Dr. Amy Doneen (a doctor of nursing) wrote the books Beat the Heart Attack Gene and Healthy Heart Healthy Brain. The goal of these books is to eradicate heart attack and stroke as leading causes of death and disability. They educate medical and dental professionals to treat patients with a goal of prevention and reversal, not reaction to late stage events.
The CureCenter for Chronic Disease is succeeding in this vision for those caught up in the Catastrophic Unseen Reversible Epidemic (CURE) of cardiometabolic disease.
Six Principles of the BaleDoneen Method
Understand the catastrophic impact & causes of heart attack and stroke.
Education
Identify and measure disease rather than just estimating risk.
Disease
Find and treat unseen chronic and acute inflammation. Reduce inflammation at its sources, including gum disease, lifestyle, and insulin resistance.
Fire
Understand that high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes are not the only root causes of atherosclerosis that should be addressed to achieve your goal.
Root Causes
Don’t settle for standard care (the equivalent of a “C” in class). Shoot for the “A+” with individualized assessment and a Personalized CurePlan.
Optimal
Increasingly available and more affordable genetic testing can make the difference between guessing vs. knowing what treatment fits you best.
Genetics
By following these six principles, we can achieve measurable improvement in arterial inflammation/age for a an optimal longer life.
