ABSTRACT
In this research paper, it will identify whether the Heart Vein Opening Drink, a
solution to cardiovascular diseases that is widely spreaded among the community, have the
cardioprotective properties as the community said. Cardiovascular diseases is now one of the
most threatening diseases to mankind, thus if there is a prevention or cure to it, research
should be done to identify it and to find the reason behind this. However, the results in this
research are conflicting and demands for further development of research.
1. INTRODUCTION
If you search the title above online you will be able to find a lot of website
introducing this drink and also the ingredients for making the drink. This is how it is
prepared:
a) Ingredients: 1 cup of Lemon juice,1 cup of Ginger juice,1 cup of Garlic juice and 1
cup of Apple cider vinegar
b) Mix all above and simmer in low heat for about 60 minutes or till solution reduces to
3 cups.
c) Remove solution to cool, then mix 3 cups of natural honey and store it in a jar.
According to the article “For Your Heart Vein Opening”, by drinking one tablespoon
of this drink daily before breakfast, vein’s blockage will open in most cases. The article also
gives an extract from Mufti Mohammed Kantharv’s post as evidence. Here’s the text of the
extract:

“Please Wait……………………..
Before you undergo Angiography or Bypass treatment, you must try with confidence
this remedy. Insha Allah, you will be cured.
On the 18th April last year, I had to go to Sahiwaal(Pakistan) from the UK to attend
the annual Khatme-e-Nabuwat conference. The day before I suffered acute pain at the place
of my heart and thereafter, experienced uncomforting which continued for quite some time. I
then met in Pakistan Hazrat Moulana Bashir Ahmed Usmani Sahib and disclosed to him, that
when the doctors performed Angiography on me, they advised Bypass as they discovered 3 of
my arteries were blocked and given a date to operate after a month.
During this period, a Hakim prescribed the remedy below which I consumed exactly
for a month. A day before my bypass operation, I arrived at the Cardiology Hospital in
Lahore (Pakistan) and deposited Pak Rs. 225,000.00 towards expenses for my Bypass
surgery. After taking a close look at these results and my previous results, the Doctors then
asked me if I took any medication after the previous tests were carried out.
I told them of Hakim Sahebs prescribed remedy. The panel of Doctors, surprised by
the results, then informed me that according to the latest reports all 3 arteries were open and
functioning normally and that surgery was not required. I was refunded my deposit and told
to go home.
Hazrat Moulana Bashir Ahmed Usmani Saheb himself, prepared this medicine for me
and also told me of it’s ingredients and how it is prepared which is as follows:
1 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Cup Fresh Ginger Juice
1 Cup Fresh Garlic Juice
1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Cups Honey
Mix all the juices & vinegar and boil very slowly for about half an hour until about 1
cup of contents evaporate and 3 cups remain. After it cools down, mix properly with the 3
cups of honey. Fill contents in a clean Jar and take 3 teaspoons on an empty stomach every
morning. Insha Allah you will be cured.”(From Mufti Mohammed Kantharvi. London UK)
However, the effects of the drink to health are not yet been proven by scientist. The
question is: Do this drink really helps out in opening vein’s blockage?

1.1.Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular disease (also called heart disease) is a class of diseases that involve
the heart, the blood vessels (arteries, capillaries, and veins) or both.
Cardiovascular disease refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system,
principally cardiac disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial
disease. The causes of cardiovascular disease are diverse but atherosclerosis and/or
hypertension are the most common. Additionally, with aging come a number of physiological
and morphological changes that alter cardiovascular function and lead to subsequently
increased risk of cardiovascular disease, even in healthy asymptomatic individuals.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, though since the
1970s, cardiovascular mortality rates have declined in many high-income countries. At the
same time, cardiovascular deaths and disease have increased at a fast rate in low and middle
income countries. Although cardiovascular disease usually affects older adults, the
antecedents of cardiovascular disease, notably atherosclerosis, begin in early life, making
primary prevention efforts necessary from childhood. There is therefore increased emphasis
on preventing atherosclerosis by modifying risk factors, such as healthy eating, exercise, and
avoidance of smoking tobacco.
Currently practiced measures to prevent cardiovascular disease include:
- A low-fat, high-fiber diet including whole grains and plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables (at least five portions a day)
- Tobacco cessation and avoidance of second-hand smoke;
- Limit alcohol consumption to the recommended daily limits; consumption of 1-2
standard alcoholic drinks per day may reduce risk by 30% However excessive alcohol
intake increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Lower blood pressures, if elevated;
- Decrease body fat (BMI) if overweight or obese;
- Increase daily activity to 30 minutes of vigorous exercise per day at least five times
per week;
- Reduce sugar consumptions;
- Decrease psychosocial stress. Stress however plays a relatively minor role in
hypertension. Specific relaxation therapies are not supported by the evidence.
For adults without a known diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or
cardiovascular disease, routine counseling to advise them to improve their diet and increase

their physical activity has not been found to significantly alter behavior, and thus is not
recommended.

3. EXPERIMENTS
Experiments are planned and conducted in order to determine the effects of the Heart
Vein Opening Drink in cardiovascular diseases. Due to the restriction of my capabilities to
prepare and perform more accurate, precise and detailed experiment, the results may not be
confirmed and requires further development. Few simple experiments were planned, with
those listed below which are carried out successfully.

3.2.Human test
Aim: Determining the effects of the Heart Vein Opening Drinks to the prevention of
plaque in blood vessels
Problem Statement: Does the Heart Vein Opening Drinks help to maintain the values
of lipids and cardiovascular risks at desirable range?
Hypothesis: Heart Vein Opening Drinks can maintain the values of lipids and
cardiovascular risks at desirable range
Procedure
Step 1: A subject is selected to participate in the experiment.
Step 2: The health test of the subject is carried out before experiment and the
results for section “lipids and cardiovascular risks” are recorded.
Step 3: Then, the participants’ lifestyle is remained similarly as usual, only
except that they start to have one tablespoon of the Heart Vein Opening Drink
daily before breakfast.
Step 4: After 4 months, the health test of the subject is carried out again and the
results for section “lipids and cardiovascular risks” is recorded.

Comparison
Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, Heart Vein Opening Drinks failed to
maintain the values of lipids and cardiovascular risks at desirable range. Heart Vein
Opening Drinks shows no effects on preventing cardiovascular diseases. Hypothesis
is not accepted
4. CONCLUSION
The results of the two experiments conducted show conflicting results on the
cardioprotective properties of the Heart Vein Opening Drinks. More experiments that are
more accurate, more precise, more detailed and more controlled have to be carried out in the
future to make the results confirmative. As a conclution, the research requires further
development but by research done so far now, the Heart Vein Opening Drinks is not
practically proven its with prevention and cure of cardiovascular diseases.
