TEMECULA, Calif., & LOS GATOS, Calif. -- CVAC Systems, Inc. (www.cvacsystems.com) announced today an agreement with Los Gatos, Calif.-based TempusClinic to study the potential value of the CVAC process in managing and treating diabetes, insulin resistance Insulin Resistance Definition

Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning (CVAC) is a scientifically validated IHT process which triggers the human body's natural high-altitude adaptation response adaptation response See Adaptation, psychology. . CVAC, however, produces the beneficial effects of high-altitude adaptation via IHT while significantly reducing the required exposure time for IHT. Other techniques providing IHT require exposure ranging from 21 to 84 hours per week; CVAC exposures require less than 4.5 hours per week.

"There are more than 90 million individuals in the U.S. and some 200 million worldwide who suffer from metabolic derangement," said Allen J.

"The cost of treating diabetes alone, which is just one of the forms of metabolic derangement, is over $125 billion annually in the U.S. In addition, there are an estimated 50 million Americans with metabolic syndrome, another form of metabolic derangement, who have a fivefold increased probability of developing diabetes and a twofold increased risk in developing cardiovascular disease.
