CSLC CAP – APPROACH SUMMARY & INFOSHEET
Home • About Us

Why CSLC CAP
Motivation behind the development of CSLC CAP is the understanding that drugs and surgical interventions of modern medicine or any other medical systems currently available are inadequate for current lifestyle associated disease management and to provide a sustainable solution to address modern health challenges. The understanding that the root cause of all diseases, especially lifestyle diseases and even reproductive problems lies in nutritional imbalances, sedentary life, lack of rest and sleep, and toxic overload.

What is CSLC CAP ?
CSLC CAP – Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction with Cell Activation Protocol is a scientific methodology for Health Optimization through Lifestyle Optimization developed by Dr Jolly Thomson and a dedicated team. CSLC CAP is developed with the goal of teaching and training the practical aspects of healthy living in this modern sedentary life for day to day practice for optimizing health, preventing, treating and reversing lifestyle related diseases and minimizing the use of medication and surgical procedures for lifestyle diseases.

Why Medications or Surgeries Can’t Cure Lifestyle Diseases ?
No matter how long one has been on medication, if the lifestyle remains unchanged, the condition often worsens. The number of medicines typically increases, and surgeries may eventually become necessary. Studies confirm that lifestyle diseases cannot be cured by medicines or surgeries because their root cause is not a deficiency of either but rather errors in lifestyle. That’s why once a patient starts medications for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, or heart disease, they often have to continue them lifelong. Even after undergoing surgeries like angioplasty, bypass, or pacemaker implants, patients remain on long-term medication. Nearly 90% of medicines used worldwide and 90% of surgeries performed today are for lifestyle diseases. This means that improper lifestyle is the root cause of most illnesses. If we can identify and correct these flaws, it is possible to recover from 90% of these diseases without medication or surgery.

What Are Lifestyle Diseases ?
Today, 90% of patients seeking treatment in hospitals suffer from lifestyle diseases. But most don’t know what diseases exactly fall under this lifestyle disease category. Lifestyle diseases include diabetes, hypertension, vascular blockages, heart disease, stroke, various types of cancers, allergies, asthma, rheumatic diseases and arthritis, kidney and liver diseases, digestive disorders, skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema; autoimmune diseases like SLE, Thyroiditis, Rheumatism; vasculopathy affecting blood vessels, neuropathy affecting nerves, hormonal disorders, mental health challenges, obesity, underweight, infertility etc comes under lifestyle diseases. The list is really exhaustive. In short, the root cause of most diseases treated with medicines or surgeries lies in one’s lifestyle. This reality must be understood by patients and their families for effective treatment and recovery. Even complications during pregnancy, premature births, birth defects in children, and mental health issues like autism are linked to the lifestyle of parents, according to modern research.

Immune System & CSLC CAP
To prevent disease or recover from any illness, optimal functioning of the immune system is crucial. Therefore knowing the relationship between immunity, disease, and healing is important. The real “doctor” inside us is our immune system – the body’s healing power. The immune system maintains our health, heals wounds, and restores well-being. It has two arms: inflammation regulated by omega-6 fats and healing or anti-inflammation regulated by omega-3 fats. When toxins enter the body, the immune system triggers an inflammatory response. These toxins can include anything non-nutritive: excessive medications, unsuitable foods, viruses, bacteria, alcohol, excessive fats or sugars, pesticides, artificial flavorings, colors, preservatives, and other chemicals. Studies show that a diet rich in omega-6 inflammatory fats and deficient in omega-3 healing fats, along with a lack of essential nutrients, triggers lifestyle diseases.

Goal Of CSLC CAP ?
The goal of CSLC CAP is to use the innate healing power of the body – the immune system for preventing disease progress and repairing the damaged cells and organs, thereby helping to regain health in a natural way. This is achieved by ensuring optimal nutrition, optimal activity, optimal rest and sleep and minimising toxic load to the body in a practical way which can be easily learned and practiced for reversing lifestyle diseases, optimising and maintaining health in the current busy and sedentary life. This is developed from the understanding that medicines and surgeries of modern medicine are inadequate to best treat lifestyle associated diseases. The focus is to try and provide nutrition in right proportion and quantity, reduce toxins in the body by avoiding preservatives, artificial flavours and colours, additives of no nutritional value in foods, drinks, salts and oils, along with an activity pattern that can be done with relative ease in a lying down or sitting position to enhance blood circulation and improve the removal of toxic wastes in the body.

Decision Making To Start CSLC CAP
Dr Jolly Thomson’s CSLC CAP based treatment is available only at Life Care Centre Thevara, Kochi, Kerala, India. Even though the details about this treatment approach have been available in the digital media for a long time, unfortunately most medical practitioners do not know enough about the benefits of this treatment approach. In modern medicine curriculum teachings mainly focus on pharmaceutical and surgical solutions. Thereby modern medical institutions and practitioners give priority to medications, surgery and invasive procedures. Generally nutrition is considered the responsibility of dieticians and physical activity of physiotherapists. Most modern medicine doctors don’t understand the benefits to patients from clinically supported lifestyle correction. Many even think it just doesn’t work and don’t have the interest to find the details.

World over for lifestyle diseases it is now well accepted that the first step as well as the sustainable and safest solution is lifestyle correction. It is a strange contradiction as well as the biggest challenge that medical professionals who know very well that medicines and surgeries do not cure lifestyle diseases find it very difficult to accept clinically supported lifestyle correction. When someone is opposing lifestyle correction with clinical support and evidence based tapering off medications and avoiding the need of surgeries for lifestyle related diseases, the patient and the well wishers should think for themselves if this attitude is because of ignorance or some other reason. 

Generally it is difficult to expect doctors who prescribe medications continuously or recommend surgical interventions for lifestyle diseases to approve clinically supported lifestyle correction to avoid surgery or reduce and stop medications. For this reason it is not useful to take the opinion from medical practitioners who have not clearly understood the scientific background and benefits of this treatment approach. In this situation it is very important for you to understand the scientific basis of this approach while making a decision. We believe an informed patient and the caregivers are the key to recovery from illnesses. Therefore try to understand more about CSLC CAP by visiting the concerned web pages especially the treatment pages related to your health issues.

Hospital Stay
Hospital admission is not needed for treatment with CSLC CAP. But those staying far off places like outside India or distant states inside India may have to stay near the Life Care Centre during the initial days of treatment, for the first 3- 12 weeks depending on the disease condition. Those who are staying at far off places should take a telemedicine consultation to decide whether the CSLC CAP is suitable for the patient and also to plan the number of days stay required at Kochi. Our medical value tourism integrator – Integrated Global Services will help and make arrangements for those who need travel, accommodation, translation services etc.

Hospital Visits & Follow Up
The Cell Activation Protocol principles are taught as three phases Phase 1- Day 1, Phase 2 – Day 8 and Phase 3 – Day 15 with seven day intervals each. On these 3 days of practical training patients have to spend around 8 hrs at the Centre. After the initial training follow up visits are scheduled on Day- 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 270 and 365 and then every 3 to 6 months or yearly follow up & health check up according to the nature of the disease. After the initial 3-6 direct follow up visits those staying at long distances and finding it difficult to come directly can use telemedicine for followup.

Investigations
The treatment begins after detailed investigations to determine the body’s specific conditions, current body status and the extent of damage the disease conditions have caused to different organs. Depending on the patient’s health and disease conditions tests are necessary for evaluating body composition, fat levels, hormone levels, immunity, inflammation levels, status of the kidney, liver, pancreas, heart etc. nutritional deficiency, cancer markers, toxin levels, tests to identify items that may be creating stress to the immune system, ultrasound scans, MRI, PET scans etc. The abnormal test reports identified at initial evaluation may have to be repeated at periodic intervals to monitor improvements.

Unique Advantage Of CSLC CAP
Most lifestyle diseases coexist and patients will have more than one disease or many diseases and discomforts. In conventional medical treatment protocol, lifestyle diseases are seen and treated separately by concerned specialists with specific medications or surgical interventions focussing on symptomatic relief. But in CSLC CAP the first step is on identifying the root cause in current lifestyle. Then focusing on  eliminating the causative factors and helping to provide an enabling environment for repair of the body at cellular level by ensuring optimal nutrition, activity and minimizing toxin. Therefore CSLC CAP practice addresses all the lifestyle associated health issues simultaneously and gets relief for all health issues through a single protocol. Most of the patients are able to come out of most of the medications for lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, arthritis, allergy, liver kidney diseases etc within a month. The effectiveness depends on the body’s ability to repair and the willingness and active involvement of the patient and family.

Outpatient Services

A hospital stay is not needed. Diagnostic tests, health evaluation, treatment, and follow-up can be done as outpatients. Minimum 3-6 outpatient visits are needed. Detailed physical examination, urine tests, and ultrasound scans are needed for the evaluation of health status and progress assessment. We try to avoid diagnostic procedures which require x-ray and dye or radioactive isotope injections as much as possible to avoid possible toxic exposure to the body, but PET Scan is essential for staging and progress assessment in cancer patients.

Residential Services

Life Care Centre does not provide residential care. But those who are coming from far-off places need to stay near Life Care Centre 3-12 weeks depending on the disease condition. Integrated Global Services – Medical Value Tourism Integrator will support you for travel, accomodation, translation services etc.

Telemedicine Services

Direct consultation, health evaluation, and investigations are mandatory before starting treatment. Our focus is to minimize hospital visits, medications, admissions, and surgical interventions in modern medical care. This will help you save time, money, avoid the inconveniences of repeated hospital visits, admissions, and hospital-acquired infections. This is achieved by incorporating telemedicine services in this clinically supported lifestyle optimization approach. Progress assessment and follow-up are done through telemedicine to a great extent. Those who come from distant places can have a preliminary consultation through telemedicine. 

Patients have to spend around 6-8 hrs at the hospital on Day 1(Starting day), Day 8, and Day 15. 

One responsible family member like husband / wife, father / mother, or adult son / daughter staying with the patient should come with the patient on the starting day. The person should have basic health to do physical activity in a lying/sitting position and be able to take at least a liquid diet. Patients should be willing to follow the instructions on food intake, body care use, and activity patterns. Basically, CSLC CAP is a lifestyle optimization protocol closely linked with food, body care, and physical activity. Support of family members especially spouses, siblings, and parents who are staying with the patient is crucial for success. The health benefit of CSLC CAP is from correcting the body composition at the cellular level through lifestyle modulation. Self-care to maintain body composition is important for the continuation of health benefits. 

Children: In the case of children (below the age of 18 years) ideally both or at least one of the parents/guardians should also join CSLC CAP. Experiencing the practical aspects of CSLC CAP simultaneously by the parents is important to guide and support the child. The parents can morally and practically motivate the child to follow the lifestyle changes associated with food and activity only if they are also willing to follow the same. The causative factors and the corrections needed in lifestyle will often be there in the family and not in the child alone. 

Patients who need personal support: Those who need personal support for activities like joint fixity, memory loss, psychiatric disorders, etc will need another family member staying with the patient also to join for CSLC CAP.

Appointment: Confirm appointment with time and date for each phase of CSLC CAP by paying advance as specified.

Dress: Make sure you are wearing a comfortable dress for practising body movements like raising legs. Wear a full-length bottom and top. Avoid saree and skirt for ladies and shorts and mundu for men. 

Make sure you can avoid phone calls and other disturbances during training (around 4 hours). A bystander is not allowed during the training time.

Expenses for Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction will include 1. CAP Clinical Support Charges, 2. Cost of Support Nutrients, 3. Cost of Investigations. The CAP Clinical Support charges will be INR 1,20, 000/- for Indian citizens and US $4500/- for foreign citizens, which include clinical evaluation, lifestyle optimization training, clinical monitoring, progress assessment, and telemedicine support for the initial 90 days. The Cost of Investigations for initial evaluation and periodic progress assessment and support nutrient cost will be additional which will vary depending on the disease aspects.

PAYMENT MODE

UPI based digital transactions like BHIM, Gpay, PayTM, etc are the preferred mode of payment as they are free of any bank charges and confirmation is fast and easy. If you are using IMPS or NEFT please make the payments on the previous day itself as it needs more time to get the transfer details and confirmation. Please avoid Credit cards which cost 1.5% extra and debit cards which cost  0.9% extra as bank charges.

PLEASE NOTE: The patient has a very important role in the success of this treatment approach and maintaining the benefits. Please go through the CSLC CAP Info Sheet, Brochure, and relevant pages of the Website, YouTube & Facebook videos to understand the approach and how it works in your disease conditions before making the decision of starting treatment.
