Product Description

Every year more than $10 billion is spent on coronary bypass surgeries that in more than half the cases are unnecessary and even dangerous.

* The cardiopulmonary pump used during bypass surgery may cause decreased oxygen flow leading to brain damage and memory loss.

* Bypass and balloon angioplasty surgeries (with a few important exceptions) are irrelevant to the natural course of heart disease.

* In bypass patients, the incidence of subsequent heart attack or myocardial infarction is higher than for those treated with medication.

Questions from the Heart: Answers to 100 Questions About Chelation Therapy, a Safe Alternative to Bypass Surgery
by Terry Chappell, Julian Whitaker

My husband recently had a heart attact. I believe all patients should be well informed and not just let their doctors make all the decisions. This book answered a lot of questions I had about Chelation Theraby, where you receive 3 to 4 hour treatments for about 30 plus treatments, afterwards maintenance treatments are needed. Chelation removes the HEAVY METALS from arteries and cells, thus making the arteries more flexible and less likely to need the dangerous and ofter useless angioplasty and bypass surgury. I personally asked out Cardiologist about it. The reply was "it hasn't been proven". The book explaines this ruthless and uncaring attitude by the Cardiac Doctors, who prefer to kill their patients with dangerous and often unnecessary surgery when Chelation (unproved by a large double blind study and blocked by large pharmacutical companies die to their lack of profit in it) could be given a try at saving the life of a loved one. It explains that people need to assist Chelation Theraps and be willing to help themselves and make lifstyle changes. It also recommends against use of against oral chelation pills you can buy in the Health Food Store as anything but a maintenance assistant. After reading the answers to these questions, I have purschased a larger book on Chelation Therapy to read so I can assist my husband to live a longer and better live as the book made a lot of sense to me. It also warned me about the dangers of taking too much calcimum by itself, as it is a good artery hardener, so levels of suppliments are necessary to know and monitor. I do not think my insurance company pays for Chelation Therapy, so I am investigating to find a company who believes in helping the sick patient and just not in supporting the Cardiac Surgury Industry and the Pharmecticutical Companies to get riches. I want my husband to get better, not sicker by unnecessary surgury and then just having to have it done again in a few years. Recommend buying this book as it will open your eyen to a bit of what actually goes on and is available that your trusted Cardiac Doctor just doesn'd care to tell you about or is more afraid of being laughed at by other Cardiac Doctors and the Backward AMA than he is at saving your life. Recommend you immediately read this book, spead to your Cardiac Doctor about Chelation, and if he and your Insurance laughs at you or poo poos the idea, recomend you highly consider changing both Cardiac Specialists and Insurance Companies. I have written to Dr. Whittakers publishing company, Phillips - see his website, and received a list of doctors who preform Chelation in the Detroit Area. Not I am looking into what Insurance Companies will cover or partially Cover this process and how to find a recommending doctor, since I have lost my trust and faith in the current doctors after my husbands angioplasty when he just agreed and it was done before I was even notified! You have to educate yourself on everything concerning you own specific health proplem or doctors will actually kill you with the wrong medication and unnecessary surgury. Read the Statistics on how many people die each year from taking their prescription medications exactly as they are supposed to. Read how people die of unnecessary surgury because surgeons are trained to operate and are taught it is the way to go. Small books like 100 Questions about Chelation Therapy answer basic questions and can lead you to buying larger more instructive books and then may lead you to doing investigative work in changing Cardiac doctors and Insurance Companies, like it started me doing, because I see a more non-invasive, and much better way to go than surgury and your doctor is just not going to let you know about this option, and if you bring it up, he is just going to say it has not been proven. However remember, it is your live and heart and arteries we are talking about here and not his. It is just better to be informed and then you are better able to make your own decisions and write your Insurance companies and let then know you want this type of thing covered for the benefit of heart patients of the future. Book is well written with a nice introduction and preface. The questions are simple and the answers are easy to understand by the layman. Recommend reading it or at least request your local library if they could not buy a copy for their shelves.

3.0 out of 5 stars I agree on not having bypass surgery but is Chelation therapy the answer?, November 3, 2006

By	W. H. McDonald Jr. "The American Author Assoc... (Elk Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I still had my doubts about the safety and use of Chelation therapy as an alternative to curing heart problems related to blockages. I was not convinced and the book did little to educate me a tyo why i could trust the procedures.

I have heard of great results by people who have gone this route - and I do not doubt that people have gotten better - but I am not sure that is was because of the use of this therapy.

I think bypass surgery is brutal and hurts rathers than cures or heals. I am just not yet inn agreement with this book - but I could be wrong and it may be wonderful - I just have my doubts.
