4.0 out of 5 stars Bypassing Bypass, January 12, 2000

By	Carey Taylor (US) - See all my reviews

I have not had heart problems, thank God,though I know others that have and then did Chelation Therapy and can attest to the improvements they have experienced as a result. I read this book as a marketer of Oral Chelation products with EDTA. Dr. Cranton's description of treatments and the help that he documents patients receiving is truely astounding! I since have had others in the CardioCare industry admit to me that, as Dr. Cranton states, some 50% or more of Bypass surgery is unneccasary! It is Big business! EDTA has been used for 30+ years by the Navy to cleanse sailors of lead and Dr. cranton makes the point that it is also effective in chelating many other metals from our system. I continue to take Oral Chelation daily and at 53 continue to act like I'm 33. A wonderful and inspiring book to open ones eyes to the wonders of Alternative medicines ignored and discouraged by the established Medical/Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading!, October 8, 2001

By	William Hudspeth (Los Osos, CA United States) - See all my reviews

In today's medical marketplace, Dr. Cranton's book should be
required reading because each of will fall prey to the ravages
of longer lives - hopefully. I have spent most of my life engaged
in biomedical research and have taught both medical and graduate
students. With this history, I want to tell readers they have
every reason to doubt most of what they hear from the medical community.

Dr. Cranton provides a clearly developed case for EDTA chelation
therapy. I especially appreciate the inclusion of his own review
article, complete with requisite scientific references (all 233).

I am greatly frustrated by Dr. Cranton's attempt to satisfy, now
outdated, scientific criteria for 'treatment efficacy' by means
of 'double-blind' control studies with EDTA. I am happy to tell
him that that method is considered unethical by the World Health
Organization and directly opposes the approach of his American
(AMA)'peers'. W.H.O. has adopted the Declaration of Helsinki
which states that a treatment is effective if it does as well,
or better than, currently practiced therapies. Of course, one
hopes that the primary ethic, 'do no harm', always applies.
According to these guidlines, EDTA therapy looks very effective
and worthy of our consideration.

Finally, I am ashamed to admit that while I lay in the hospital
after my third MI, I allowed a small group of 'serious-faced'
medics convince me that I would die without a 4-vessel bypass.
I won't waste space here on the outcome because I have had many
of the problems documented in Dr. Cranton's book.

Now that I am 4 years post-op, it is clear that, despite many
lifestyle changes, I am going to need more serious efforts to
recreate my health. So, within a week I will start a series of
EDTA chelation treatments - hopefully to gain some of the
benefits outlined in Dr. Cranton's book. I'll be back with
a report.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind opening, life changing, July 27, 2002

By	Weinroth "Music seeker" (Big Prairie, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dr. Cranton's book was the first I had read about possibilities beyond what traditional medicine insists are the only alternatives: bypass, angioplasty, heart catheterization, etc. (Notice that all of these treatments hurt, are dangerous, and often don't work.) My husband had just had a mild heart attack; and we had the good fortune to be in touch with one of the contributors to Dr. Cranton's book, a cardiologist who took my husband as a patient. He describes traditional treatment as "The Widow Maker." We studied Cranton, began chelation, and are healthier, 6 years later, than we've been in 20 years. This is valid information about a non-invasive and non-painful process.
