One
of worst areas of conventional medical care is the way heart disease is
handled. It is heavy on drugs and
surgery and not much attention is paid to diet, lifestyle and natural healing
methods.
Coronary bypass surgery. This
is one of the most common heart-related operations. The operation involves opening up the chest and replacing
one or more of the coronary arteries that are partially or totally blocked.
The
damaged artery is replaced with either:
1.
An artificial artery made of a plastic material, OR
2. A
piece of a vein that is taken from another part of the
patientÕs body. This is removed
from its normal location and sewed into place in the same location where the
damaged artery was.
KNOW THE FACTS AHEAD OF TIME
When
someone arrives in the Emergency Room or a doctorÕs office with chest pain,
doctors often try to convince the patient to have bypass surgery quickly. If the patient hesitates or objects,
often a lot of pressure is put on the patient. We have seen this many times. To counter this, you must know a few facts that your doctor
may not share with you:
1. Arteries can unclog using a development program.
No surgery or drugs are required. The natural approach is much safer and much less costly, as
well.
2. Some chest pain is chest wall pain or costochondritis. It is totally benign and usually easy
to identify. It is also very easy
to confuse with angina or heart pain.
For details, read Chest Wall Pain.
3. Bypass surgery is a costly,
dangerous and usually unnecessary operation. Many holistic doctors believe that heart bypass surgery is
one of the worst and least necessary surgeries that one can have.
Statistics do not support the idea that bypass
surgery saves many lives.
4. Cardiac catheterization, a diagnostic procedure,
is also dangerous and should be avoided. It is discussed at the
end of this article.
PROBLEMS WITH HEART
BYPASS SURGERY
When
a person goes to the emergency room with angina, or pain in the heart area,
doctors often diagnose one of more clogged coronary arteries. Often, they immediately recommend heart
bypass surgery – often scheduling it for the next day.
If the patient objects, he is often frightened into
the surgery with dire warnings by the medical staff of the hospital. I
have seen this over and over. So
let us present the other side of the story that is rarely told to the
patient. Problems with this
surgery abound, and include:
1. All of the problems of surgery described in the Surgery article on this website. These include:
A.
Infection
B.
Blood clots that can cause heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary emboli and other
serious complications.
C.
Massive exposure to toxic drugs such as anesthesia, antibiotics, muscle
relaxants and others. Bypass
surgery is often a long, complex surgery so a lot of anesthesia is
required. This builds up in the
body and damages it in all cases.
D.
Nutritional depletion due to surgery, eating hospital food, and shock to the
body.
E.
Other complications of all surgery such as bleeding or hemorrhage, surgical
errors, and other mishaps.
F.
Impoverishment. Bypass surgery can
cost up to $500,000.00.
2. Mental impairment. This
is almost guaranteed with this surgery.
It is due to toxicity due to anesthesia, other drugs used in and after
surgery, and nutritional depletion as a result of the same causes.
It
is particularly important with bypass surgery because of the length of many of
these operations. This exposes the
brain and body to large amounts of toxic anesthesia drugs. Residues of these drugs remain in the
brain, usually for life.
3. Often drug dependency.
Usually, after surgery the doctor prescribes a host of drugs such as
blood thinners, anti-hypertensive medications and others that the patient must
take after surgery, often for years.
One reason for this is that the doctor has not addressed the cause of
the heart blockage, and just treats the symptoms with more toxic drugs that
further worsen oneÕs health and shorten the lifespan.
4. Far worse overall health, as a result of the
above.
5. Relapses. At times, the stents and artery replacements clog up after
several years. This occurs because
no attention has been paid to the actual cause of the buildup of plaque in the
arteries.
II. DEVELOPMENT CAN OFTEN CLEAR BLOCKED ARTERIES
We
have worked with a number of people who originally complained of angina pain,
or had been told they required bypass surgery. In all cases, provided they followed the correct diet, took
their nutritional supplements and lived a healthful lifestyle, their symptoms
improved and no surgery was ever needed.
In
addition, their overall health improved dramatically as they reduced the load
of toxic metals, toxic chemicals and infections in their bodies.
WHAT CAUSES CLOGGED
ARTERIES?
Toxic metals. Based on our research,
the causes include the presence of toxic metals in the arteries that weaken
them, make them rigid and brittle, and cause inflammation. Chief among these is cadmium,
which replaces zinc, a mineral needed for the flexibility and health of the
arteries.
Another
problem metal is copper in excess. This
damages all connective tissue, including the arteries and veins. Other toxic metals may be involved as
well.
Nutrient deficiencies. These
can also cause clogged arteries.
Deficient nutrients include trace minerals, vitamins such as vitamin A,
B, C, D and E, primarily, and nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are
deficient in almost everyone today.
Inflammation. Another cause is generalized
inflammation of the body. This is
often caused by excess accumulation of iron, manganese, aluminum and other
metals in the form of oxides.
These are extremely irritating to the body.
While
one can take anti-oxidants to offset their effects somewhat, the best solution
is to remove them. This is easy to
do with a development program.
Emotional stress or other stress can also cause heart problems in some cases, as
can infections in some cases.
All
of the biochemical causes of clogged arteries can generally be reversed with a development
program that removes the toxic metals, restores the
nutrients the body requires, and gently and delicately balances the body
chemistry. I also recommend the Pushing Down Mental Exercise, to reduce stress, help
one control the emotions, and for overall improved health.
WHAT ABOUT CHELATION
THERAPY?
Many
holistic doctors and naturopaths use chelation
therapy for arteriosclerosis, angina and other heart problems. Chelation is
the use of substances, either natural or synthetic drugs,
that strongly bind to toxic metals and remove them from the body.
While
it is better than most bypass surgery, I do not recommend it and I never have
needed it. Instead, development
will remove ALL of the toxic metals, not just a few, much more thoroughly and
more safely. For much more about chelation, please read the article entitled Chelation Therapy.
WHAT ABOUT ANGIOPLASTY
INSTEAD OF BYPASS SURGERY?
Definition: Angioplasty is a
surgical procedure in which a very small balloon or tube called a stent is
placed inside a partially clogged artery to open up the artery.
The
tube or stent is often treated with drugs to try to reduce the possibility of
reclogging of the artery, also called restenosis.
Advantages: Angioplasty is a less invasive operation than bypass surgery. It is also much faster, and may even be
done under local anesthesia. If
so, one is exposed to many fewer drugs.
Disadvantages: Arteries that are opened up with balloons and
stents can and do reclog or restenose in 6 months or
1 year after surgery.
Also,
other complications can occur. One
of the worst is called a stent thrombosis. This is basically a piece of plaque that breaks off the
inside of an artery during surgery and gets stuck in an artery, essentially
causing a heart attack, stroke, pulmonary thrombosis or possibly another
serious complication. For this
reason, when a person undergoes angioplasty, doctors require that one take
anti-clotting drugs – often for life!
All
the other complications of surgery are also possible, such as infection,
surgical errors and more.
I
would recommend a development program to unclog the arteries before even
considering angioplasty.
DO WE RECOMMEND CARDIAC
CATHETERISATION?
No. It is very dangerous, and not needed,
in my view, if one is willing to follow a development program to correct
clogged arteries.
It is
a medical diagnostic procedure in which the doctor places a very thin tube
inside an artery and then threads it up the artery into the heart area to check
for clogged arteries and other problems.
The
only time it might be needed is if a person is born with a heart defect, is
preparing to undergo surgery to correct it, and the doctors need to know more
about the problem than they can find out using other diagnostic methods. This is quite rare, however.
WHAT IS ANGIOGRAPHY?
This
means taking an x-ray photo of the heart and coronary arteries, usually, to
check their condition. Before the
photos are taken, a dye is injected into the arteries that
makes them show up easily on the x-rays.
This
diagnostic procedure is fairly safe compared to cardiac catheterization. Rarely, someone reacts badly to the
dye, but this does not occur often.
