Comparison of EDTA Chelation,Angioplasty and Bypass Surgery

2

Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons invariably recommend either angioplasty or bypass surgery to patients suffering from coronary artery disease. Almost all diabetologists do not attempt to save the gangrenous leg. They give heinous advise of leg amputation.

As said earlier the objective of most of the so called experts trained in modern medicine is to push up the profit of hospitals and pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of medical instruments through rampant recommendations of surgical procedures. As EDTA chelation therapy does not achieve any of these objectives they do not recommend it even if it is the best treatment to reverse the disease.

The truth behind this becomes apparent from the comparison of death and adverse events in these treatments presented in the forthcoming slides. The conclusions of the recently concluded TACT, a 10 year long research project, is that chelation therapy is very safe and unbelievably effective.

Chelation therapy is a boon to diabetic patients suffering from coronary artery disease. Of course, organizations like American Medical Association and American Heart Association endeavor best efforts to ensure that such information does not reach public.

These organization made herculean efforts in hiding the results of TACT by opposing their publication in JAMA, AHJ etc.

The information about angioplasty and bypass surgery given in the comparison presented in the forthcoming slides, is taken from following two books published by Wiley in the year 2003.

"So, You Are Having Heart Cath and Angioplasty" by Magnus Ohman - a cardiologist and

“So, You Are Having Heart Bypass Surgery” by Bret Sheldon a cardiac surgeon.

Information about chelation therapy has been taken from many different sources.

The comparison presented in this slide proves EDTA chelation therapy to be superior to other two modalities.

It is superior to angioplasty on 15 out of 18 criteria. Only on three criteria angioplasty is equally good as EDTA chelation therapy.

It is superior to bypass surgery on 16 out of 18 criteria. On one criteria both are equally good.

Only on criteria, viz."Recurrence of angina in one year" bypass surgery is found to be superior to chelation therapy and far superior to angioplasty.

The reason for this fact can be explained as under.

When signals of angina are generated in the heart they are felt only when they get transmitted through nerves up to the brain. All such nerves pass through pericardium. In bypass surgery pericardium has to be heavily cut in order to reach heart. Naturally, nerves also get cut and pain vanishes.

Even though pericardium is stitched back at the end of surgery, the nerves remain in discontinuity and pain remains vanished.

This means bypass surgery creates pseudo effect. Actually it is not very effective to the extent it is believed to be.Likelihood of following occurrences Bypass

The table in the previous slide compares the three modalities on some more criteria.

On these criteria also EDTA chelation therapy proves superior.

With the towering high costs of medical treatments, particularly surgeries, one has to think of yearly cost for the treatment alternative chosen. On this criteria EDTA chelation therapy proves far superior because its cost is only about one third than the other two alternatives.

Other two important criteria of comparison are, Does the therapy treat the cause of coronary artery disease? and Does it reverses other degenerative diseases present in the body?

Bypass surgery or angioplasty do neither of these two things but chelation therapy effectively does both these things.

I recommend chelation therapy to all the patients because it works curatively and preventatively.

In the year 2005, R. Blaha, T. Born and T. Chappell made a 3 year follow up of the health condition of 220 patients who underwent chelation therapy during year 1992 to 2001. Later they compared the data with the condition of about equal number of patients who had similar diagnosis before the treatment but had chosen either to remain only on medicines or underwent bypass surgery or underwent angioplasty.

The data obtained is presented in the following table.

The data indicates,

1 Likelihood of heart attack greatly increases after angioplasty as well as bypass surgery in comparison to remaining only on medicines.

2 The only apparent blemish to EDTA chelation therapy is that turning to bypass surgery after it is little higher than that in case of bypass surgery. This happens because a surgeon usually does not recommend second bypass surgery within three years. However, a cardiologist is too eager to recommend bypass surgery or angioplasty after EDTA chelation therapy.

3 Even though much importance is not given to death caused by heart disease the success rates of chelation therapy is extensively high as compared to the other treatment modalities.

Thus from all the angles of comparison EDTA chelation therapy is far superior to either remaining on conventional medicines or undergoing angioplasty or undergoing bypass surgery.
