Efficacy of the Mexican Naturopathy, Feeding, Exercise and Fasting (Ca Ye Cualli Aztec Health Model) in Management of Hypertriglyceridemia: A Case Report

Israel Ugalde, Teresa Ochoa-Rivera

Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with a high risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease. In Mexico, the most common type of dyslipidemia is hypertriglyceridemia with a prevalence of 19.5%. Nevertheless, this percentage may increase because of those populations that have not been diagnosed and do not go to health services. Ca Ye Cualli is an individualized health model based on Aztec wisdom which includes naturopathy, adequate feeding, exercise, and fasting. In 2011, a 48-year-old female obese was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia. After 9 years in dealing with different doctors and not being satisfied with the results, she chose to try the Mexican Ca Ye Cualli treatment in July 2020. The patient had generalized tiredness, hair loss, increased body weight, constipation, a family history of cancer, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. The results of this study, after 32 weeks of treatment, showed a reduction in weight, BMI, %fat, blood pressure, total cholesterol, no-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, total lipids, blood glucose and TSH. The patient showed an increase of energy and wellness. As a result, this case suggests that Ca Ye Cualli Aztec Health Model is feasible and safe in the management of hypertriglyceridemia. Further studies are required to warranty these results.
