May/June 2002 Alternative Health
Heart Matters

An interview with Dr. Pavel Nyvlt by Colleen J. Watkins

"Excellent…perfect," muttered Dr. Pavel Nyvlt as he read the oscillations on my 'heart graph,' and beamed his approval with "There's not much wrong with you!" I could have hugged him. And I did, at the end of my visit--hugs are not uncommon in holistic/alternative health care. I was curious about the heart graph, the DigitalCardioSignatures (DCS), and delighted to learn that Dr. Nyvlt is willing to discuss and demonstrate this and other non-invasive diagnostics he uses to identify his patients' states of physical, emotional and spiritual health, as well as the recommended dietary, exercise or thought processes necessary to ensure optimum well-being. "It's a co-operative activity," he explained. I work with my clients to help them reach and maintain systemic health."

Later, I learned a lot about Dr. Nyvlt and the path which brought him to Portland, when he consented to an interview about his history in the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia) where he was Medical Officer in charge of military health services for 1,800 soldiers a doctor in the privileged upper echelon of the Czech military -- and how that changed.

Dr. Nyvlt: Morale was terrible in the camp. The military base commander was not held accountable for cruel acts against enlisted men. He abused his power. I became afraid for the men, and myself, and was prepared with a cocked gun -- to defend against these cruelties. Eventually I was able to face my fears, and challenge them. They can't be avoided. Fear is the sand in the machinery of life. Meantime, a guide showed up -- a soldier in the military hospital who was an intuitive healer. We spent hours discussing spiritual laws, how to meditate, and various esoteric practices, one of which allows me to identify emotional blocks to fertility when a couple is unable to conceive a child.

Colleen: What a remarkable example of divine intervention that was. But even more astonishing is that, with your military and medical background, you were open to these alternative practices.

Dr. Nyvlt: Well, I love medicine and I love people. The guide helped me to discover other ways of seeing and doing things. So I decided that life was more important than the army with its money, power and influence and I quit. Then, with time for reflection and meditation I began to become aware of small dots of light on human skin -- my own and others' which I was told were acupuncture points. So I studied Chinese medicine, functional energy medicine, in Prague. I also studied Paracelsus' practices, and worked in a Valtice hospital as an Ob-Gyn.

Colleen: The political climate in your country was quite traumatic at that time, and had been since 1987. How were you able to get out, to come to the United States?

Dr. Nyvlt: There was a visa lottery to choose people who could emigrate. Without my knowledge a friend entered my name. I got a lucky surprise, and left with my wife, Blanka, and my books, in 1993. We came to Portland and I got my degree in Naturopathy from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1997, then set up my multi-disciplinary clinic, also in 1997. I continued researching and studying the methods of such scientists as the American, Royal Rife, who used polarized light to color and change frequencies of live blood specimens under a specialized microscope, and was able to describe cancer viruses, then cultivate and quickly destroy them, using the same frequencies. Unfortunately all his records and equipment have been lost. But I have similar, specialized equipment for studying live blood cells, and show stages of virus development. With this information I can provide non-invasive treatments to boost the body's defense mechanisms -- the lymphatic and immune systems -- and control the auto-immune diseases such as cancer, diabetes, lupus, etc.

Colleen: That's exciting news. And now that more people are seeking alternative health care, and Western medicine is incorporating some of the different modalities into its practices, do you think we'll soon see more alternative treatments included?

Dr. Nyvlt: Well, that will take time and a lot of money for research by the FDA. Western medicine has many virtues, of course. It is brilliant with crisis intervention, emergencies, for example. Eastern medicine takes into consideration long time consequences, which is far better for treating chronic degenerative diseases such as cancers, arthritis, diabetes, and cardiac problems. Both allopathic and alternative approaches to health have their strengths and weaknesses and by working together we can effectively ensure the best all-round health care. It is my dream to see this happen in hospitals and clinics.

Colleen: Amen to that! And, getting back to cardiac considerations, and the DCS/heart graph, can you tell me about its development and use?

Dr. Nyvlt: Yes. The original was created by Dr. Royal Lee in the 1950s, and called an Endocardiograph. It has been modified over time, and the is now a valuable tool to catch the action of the heart concentrated in those [heart] sounds which are printed out as an objective record of the heart functioning -- showing how the valves open and close, and the patterns of the heart's activity. I built the microphone that is held at your chest area with a strap.

The microphone attaches to a computer which prints out the graph -- in less than two minutes. From the graph I can tell what is lacking in the body, or if there is a dysrythmia, etc., because each indication has a significant wave pattern. When an abnormal pattern is identified, the patient is given some whole-food supplements or other treatments such as herbs, homeopathics, chiropractic adjustment, or acupuncture, and within a short time -- often just a few minutes -- there is an improvement in the heart's activity, as is indicated on a follow-up printout graph

Colleen: It sounds so simple, so integrated, and all without drugs or side effects.

Dr. Nyvlt: Yes, that's the beauty of the many approaches to alternative health -- simple, inexpensive and non-invasive, with each treatment specific to the individual's systemic needs whether physical, nutritional or emotional. That's the reason it's called 'holistic' health care

Colleen: Well, that makes my heart feel good! Thank you, Dr. Nyvlt.
