The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link to Heart Disease & Cancer [Hardcover]

Douglas Mulhall (Author), Katja Hansen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2004

If you have heart disease, arthritis or cancer, you have probably got calcification - one of the most widespread harmful conditions in existence, and found with diseases like osteoporosis and Alzheimers. Doctors have long known that something in our body misuses calcium to make us sick; they just haven't known why, or how to treat it. Until now. If you have never heard of calcification or don't know what it does, you will find crucial answers in this book, including medical science's recent discovery of a particle - a nanobacterium so small it challenges the very definition of life - that makes otherwise good calcium go bad, and which has also been discovered in other incurable diseases. Until recently, scientists didn't know that it existed or what it did. But, now they are beginning to understand what it is ...and how to treat it. If you are young and healthy, your own Calcium Bomb may already be ticking. The Good News: Many patients are improving with new treatment aimed at heart disease calcification. Will it work for arthritis, injuries, and some cancers where the time bomb also lurks? In easy-to-understand terms, this book explores the hotly contested evidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Defusing the Bomb, March 19, 2005

By 

Patrick F. Walsh (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link to Heart Disease & Cancer (Hardcover)

I am living with `the calcium bomb' in my body. My family did not live with it. My father died at 51, my mother at 47, and my kid brother 54.
When I got tightness in my chest while exercising in 1999, because of my family history, I knew where I was headed. While waiting for my angiogram, I started 10 sessions of intravenous chelation therapy treatment. After a successful implant of 2 stents I continued with 30 treatments of chelation therapy followed by a once monthly maintenance program.
My cardiologist was enraged that I was doing chelation therapy. He called me, "a damn fool," who was "throwing his money away" on an "unproven, untested method of treatment," a "snake oil operation." Following implant of my stents, my cardiologist said, "You're cured." I took exception: "My blocked arteries are open, but what can we do to prevent the systemic calcification that is causing the blockage?"
The answer to that question is in "The Calcium Bomb."
My `alternative' doctor introduced me to the NanobacTX protocol, as described in the book, which reflects our own experience.
This book presents an assessment of the `calcification' problem by two highly qualified independent journalists. They construct an overview of the struggle to establish the validity of Chelation therapy. They scrupulously present a full discussion of the development of this therapy with its clashes between "standard" and "alternative" medicine.
I am deactivating the `calcium bomb' in my body. After some two years of NanobacTX therapy, three CT scans have revealed a 40% reduction of calcification in my heart. At age 68 I am biking 10 miles a day and leading a full life in retirement. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. For me it is "a matter of life and death."

5.0 out of 5 stars Calcification In Heart Disease & Much More, January 2, 2005

By 

G. Reid (Roseland, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link to Heart Disease & Cancer (Hardcover)

This book is a must read if you wish to stay healthy around these issues. Learn about the impact of nanobacteria on our bodies and lives. This is an amazing story of medical investigation and scientific discovery. The discovery of nanobacteria and their impact on our health may lead to reduced amounts of heart disease in millions of people.

This excellent book provides new insights into how our bodies function. It has a long overdue focus more on prevention and less on crisis management. The bull-in-the-china-shop problem with healthcare has long been not enough focus on prevention. This is because the big money is made by drug companies and other medical providers by providing crisis intervention which is most often less effective than prevention and much more expensive.

"The Calcium Bomb" provides hope that in the future their can be less invasive surgery for heart disease. Finally, there is hope of solving the huge medical problem of abnormal calcium deposits in the body.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sharply profiled and highly necessary wake-up call, December 6, 2004

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link to Heart Disease & Cancer (Hardcover)

The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link To Heart Disease & Cancer is a breakthrough work by journalist Douglas Mulhall and biological engineer Katja Hansen. The two experts and collaborators have tirelessly labored to present their up-to-date findings that the root cause of heart disease and "hardening of the arteries" may not be excess fat, but rather a microbiological infection that can be treated and cured without the necessity of surgical intervention. convincingly researched for the medical community and accessibly written for the non-specialist general reader, The Calcium Bomb is a sharply profiled and highly necessary wake-up call advocating a re-evaluation of contemporary medical practices concerning this deadly and wide-spread cardiac condition.
