There are alternative treatments for coronary artery disease that you should be made aware of. Read on.My dad had his first heart attack in 1979 at age 41.
He got more severe chest pain and had his first bypass in 1990. It went well.
Only 5 years later in 1995 he got severe chest pain again and needed another bypass. This time it was a three-day-long living nightmare. He kept bleeding internally and they had to open him up and close him two more times on successive days to try to somehow fix things. He used a total of 75 units of blood products, we thought the Red Cross would cut him off and let him die at some point, but they did not. It was an absolute miracle that he somehow survived.
Only 5 years later in 2000, he again got severe chest pain and needed another bypass, but the doctors refused to do it, telling him it was a death sentence.
A coworker of mine, bless her heart, told me the story of her husband, and my dad called him and talked to him. He had had coronary artery blockages too, but instead of a bypass he did
chelation therapy. It's a long-accepted worldwide standard treatment for heavy metal poisoning, but it's been known since the mid-1940s that it also seems to improve heart disease and somehow remove or improve plaque blockages in the cardiac arteries.
My dad had nothing to lose, and he tried it. It's a simple IV infusion containing EDTA that can be done in a doctor's office with little risk of problems. He did it frequently at first, and the chest pain disappeared. He then switched to maintenance infusions much less often. Later he also took infusions of
Plaque-X, another IV infusion therapy out of Switzerland by a company called BaxaMed, if I recall the name right. His chest pain stayed gone.
From 2000, when he faced assured imminent death according to the mainstream medical view, he lived a happy and fully-functional life (could do almost anything, no cane or walker, no hospital stays, nothing at all), including going the full allowable test time in multiple cardiac stress tests with no trouble and being told by an astonished doctor that a test indicated that he had a cardiac ejection fraction "of an 18-year-old", until he died suddenly in 2014 at age 77, likely due to the "jury rigging" the surgeons had to resort to in 1995, and not because of actual blockages.
The simple, low-cost periodic chelation and Plaque-X IV drips unquestionably reversed his cardiac blockages and greatly improved the function of his heart, which was "held together with bubble gum and duct tape" after the horrible 1995 surgeries (the docs had to improvise heavily on-the-fly), and this was confirmed by multiple objective tests.
There are thousands of other stories like his, including a lawyer who couldn't even walk on a golf course and was told he needed bypass or he'd be dead in months. Chelation gave him 20+ more years of full function and all the (walking, no cart!) golf he wanted.... and he never had that bypass surgery. Many many more such outcomes, countless numbers of them.
Chelation therapy for heart blockages started in the mid-1940s when older guys unfit for military service were put to use re-painting US Navy ships... with lead paint (they didn't really know lead was bad back then). They got heavy metal poisoning, so the docs gave them chelation therapy, which fixed it, however it ALSO fixed their angina (heart) pain too.
From then right till today, mainstream medicine has essentially done a mix of ignoring and, when that's not possible, waging a war on chelation therapy when used for treating cardiac blockages, saying it's nonsense despite all the mountains of evidence.
My dad had an open-minded doctor who arranged it, and he was invited to speak at a doctor conference on a topic of his choice. He told the group he chose to present the case study of my dad and his miraculous reversal in heart symptoms and full restoration of his capabilities and quality of life, complete with test results to show as hard evidence... test results that were "medically impossible" under mainstream medical thinking... and as he later told my dad, while looking at the floor and tearing up,
"As soon as I told them the topic, they uninvited me as a speaker, despite the hard evidence I had to support it."I dated a girl whose father was a cardiologist, and I told him all this, and he scoffed and said it's B.S. He died of a massive heart attack while mowing his lawn shortly after, while my dad went right on living for many years after that.
Anyone reading this who is facing bypass surgery, do some Googling, and take the mainstream sites proclamation of "it's crap!" with a big boulder, not a grain, of salt. Dig deeper, read deeper, and see what you can find out.
What my coworker's husband did for my dad, I hereby do for you, by telling you this is an option and giving you some details of some outcomes, including my dad's.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR so do your own research, find a doctor near you that does these "off-label" chelation treatments for cardiac purposes (thank god they do exist), talk to him and others, do your homework, and make your own decisions. I'm just telling you that this exists, because 98%+ of mainstream doctors won't tell you. You do the rest.
Hope this helps, and best wishes and best of luck!
