Hyperlipidemia may cause stroke, myocardial infarction, acute pancreatitis and other risks. In order to reduce hyperlipidemia, some people turn to folk therapy for bloodletting. China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) uses the blood lipid filtration technique which has been adopted abroad for many years to help people with hyperlipidemia to remove their serum waste safely and effectively.

Once your serum cholesterol is more than 200 milligrams per milliliter, you must reduce cholesterol-rich food intake and enhance cholesterol metabolism, and take lipid-lowing medication where necessary. Some patients, however, have dietary irregularities, a family genetic history and a lack of tolerance to lipid-lowering drugs, causing their cholesterol or triglycerides to soar and their blood vessels to become clogged like waste-filled drains, or even at risk of complete obstruction. When the effect of lipid-lowering drugs are unsatisfied, "lipid filtration" has become a necessary choice.

Blood Lipid Filtration Technique

With special filter tubes and machines used to quickly reduce serum lipids in a sterile environment, "bad cholesterol" and "triglycerides" are removed, "good cholesterol" retained, and clean blood returned to the body. It has been used safely and reliably abroad for nearly 30 years to avoid serious complications such as vascular obstruction, stroke and myocardial infarction.
