Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, one of the big stories today is, of course
the vain affliction that Donald Trump suffered from me had
to be treated by doctors. They're saying it's going to
be around for a long time. And luckily we have
one of the preeminent voices in the world, one of
the preeminent doctors in the world when it comes to
(00:20):
vain afflictions, doctor Jan katz Nelson, founder and CEO of
USA Vein Clinics. By the way, they have over one
hundred and sixty locations, forty in New York City alone.
They've been around for twenty years, and of course doctor
katz Nelson is considered one of the experts on this
in the world. Uh, doctor, thanks so much for spending
(00:42):
some time with us today on this.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Thank you for calling me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Absolutely. Let's let's start out with what he has and
maybe you can explain it to me.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So, President Trump has a very common condition called superficial
venus in sufficiency. But thirty percent of adults and this
age suffer from this condition and it's basically prom congestion
that caused by broken valve and preventing return of venus
used blood towards the heart and the personal Trump works
(01:20):
very hard, he stands a lot, he travels a lot
on a plane, and it's all is not very thin,
and it's all exacerbate the problem with the legs. It's
very common, easy to diagnose, and I'm glad it's just
a venus in sufficiency, not heart problem, not kidney problem.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And the reason it's good because it's easily treatable.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
The treatments for venus insufficiency, it's the ablations, was chlorotherapies
and take ten to fifteen minutes. They're actually all covered
by insurance, and the sciences very well established and after
the treatment is swelling, pain, night cramps, all disappears. What's
(02:10):
important to know is if left untreated, it can be
a very serious conditioned even deadly. Even asymptomatic Venus in
sufficiency could increase risk of DVT more than five times,
and more than about ten thousand people in US die
(02:34):
from DVT every year in the United States.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Are you at an airport right now? I hope you
don't miss your flight. Are we holding you up for something?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I'm in an airport, I'm aft I.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Heard announcements in the background. Well, that's a little bit
frightening that if it's not treated. So how does someone
know if they might have it.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, just sounds.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
First of all, it's because it's very common. You can
almost self diagnose if someone has a bulging veins, big
roppie barkas veins, swollen legs, discoloration, brownish red discoloration, think skin,
nine crabs, ninety nine percent, it will be veins. Because
it's very very common, and the perfect diagnosis is just
(03:23):
ultra sound. It's an inexpensive, easy ultrasound basketb ulture sound
that important thing. It needs to be done in standing
position because we need to check how valves work against
the gravity. If ultra sound is done in a lying position.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You'll not see it. It needs to be in standing and.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Not every laboratory knows how to do ultra sound standing position.
Usually just in the places specialized for vane treatments, this
stud is done. So it's very important to find clinics,
dain treatment clinic that will help with this, and then
we can identify exactly what which veins are have a
(04:04):
broken valve and we can do the treatment basically close
those segments and redirect the blood flow into the right
veins instead of the wrong veins.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's and it's done, and.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
They will just sound guidance under we exactly see what
we're doing, and then the result and outcome and improvement
is extraordinary and immediate.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Great, will you keep saying it's treatable? Is it curable?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yes, yes, it's curable. So these veins, it's mechanical problem.
We fix this mechanical problem. Think like a flood in
the basement. You have a main pump and some pump,
and if valves between those pumps pipes are broken, whatever
goes up falls down. So we fix the problem with
(04:50):
the broken valve, and some pump just takes the water
up and and flood stops. Exactly the same thing happens
with the veins when we remove these segments that take
blood in the wrong opposite direction, and everything goes in
the right direction. Everything stops.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
No more swelling, no more pain.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Because veins, you know, bad circulation creates two types of problem.
It's congestion and poor nutrition. Poor nutrition leads to pain
conjunction to swelling, and because of stagnation. Think like a
pond against instead of river, you have this DVT, you know,
dip vein trombosis because blood flow is sluggish and trump
(05:39):
can happen. That's the problem and the biggest problem with
the condition.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And I would imagine your recommendation would be if anyone
thinks that they may have this, have any of the
symptoms that you talked about a moment ago, they get
right in to see a doctor right and go to
one of the US vein clinics.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We tried to see most of the patients within two
three days because we have so many locations, who have
almost on hundred seventy locations such is three states, more
than fourteen New York alogue. We work seven days a week,
long hours, just try to make sure that people have
access to care and then if left untreated, in many situations,
(06:23):
disease progress towards day outsour's wounds. Between one to two
percent of Medicare patients have open wood from being disease,
which is terrible, completely preventable and completely treatable. So I think, hopefully,
I'm sure President Trump will be fine and he will
(06:43):
get appropriate treatment, and hopefully many many thousands of listeners
will pay attention and help themselves by simply calling and
second treatment that will be very successful.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Not doubt right, there's always some good that comes out
of this and people get to learn a lot and
I think a lot of people that didn't know what
you just told them. No, Now, thank you so much
for being with his doctor John.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Go ahead, and I can only comment that President Trump
and Tayland that extraordinary thing, providing transparency and shading light
to health issues that no other president's ever done before.
So that's that's a very good trend.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, very well said, Yeah, that's that's exactly right. Most
hied them, and he didn't. He came right out and
said this, and he might save a lot of people.
