Bypassing Bypass Surgery

Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger:

Have you been diagnosed with blocked arteries? Don't even think about submitting to coronary bypass surgery until you read this book. Bypassing Bypass Surgery by Dr. Elmer M. Cranton reveals the scientific facts behind chelation therapy and how it can reverse arteriosclerosis, restore circulation and eliminate the need for bypass surgery.

I love this book. It was one of the first books that revealed the whole story behind chelation therapy, and it has since been updated with the latest scientific facts and studies showing how chelation therapy eliminates the need for surgery and saves lives.

Not surprisingly, since chelation therapy eliminates the need for bypass surgery, it has been viciously attacked by the conventional medical community, including pill-pushing doctors and heart surgeons. They would much rather see patients remain sick and in need of their bypass surgery services than watch them overcome arteriosclerosis and return home, never to need surgery. So EDTA chelation therapy remains under constant attack by the conventional medical profession for the simple reason that it denies them profits.

The truth is that most bypass surgeries are medically unnecessary, and even when patients survive bypass surgery, many are left with oxygen-deprived brains that quickly deteriorate, causing rapid loss of cognitive function over the next few years. But chelation therapy eliminates the blocks in the arteries, restoring blood flow to the brain, maintaining normal, healthy brain function for a lifetime!

Considering bypass surgery for yourself or a loved one? Don't decide until you get all the facts about chelation therapy. Understand that you have non-surgical options that work better than surgery, without all the risks of surgery!

Here are some of the reader testimonials about this book from Amazon:

Very thoughtful and thorough presentation

Dr. Cranton's much updated book presents the frequently reported benefits of chelation therapy within the framework of free radical pathology. This theoretical construct of biochemistry, as a common basis for degenerative disease, is growing rapidly in acceptance.

I first read Dr. Cranton's book in a much earlier edition and I found the theory interesting, but not completely persuasive. However, since its introduction, anecdotal evidence supporting chelation has been strong and support by caring physicians quite wide spread. To assume that all of these experienced practitioners are quacks would be naive. This well footnoted edition updates the original with current references and seems much more intellectually satisfying.

In evaluating any therapeutic procedure we need a sound theoretical basis along with reported success in its application to feel logically complete. In this edition, I feel the book succeeds.

Dr. Cranton tells us that chelation therapy suffered in acceptance due to the initial theory that it worked as sort of a roto -rooter... dissolving calcified plaques in the circulatory system. Indeed, it is this theory that is attacked by most dissenting scientist/practitioners and deservedly so.

Many object that chelation has not been subjected to rigorous double blind placebo controlled testing but it is useful to note that neither have the competing procedures of bypass surgery and balloon angioplasty. Fortunately, EDTA chelation therapy and its application to cardio vascular disease is being tested now in an NIH funded study begun in 2005 that is currently in phase III.

"The randomized, double-blind study will enroll 2,372 patients aged 50 or older who have had a heart attack. The $30 million study, led by Gervasio A. Lamas, M.D., director of cardiovascular research and academic affairs at Mount Sinai Medical Center-Miami Heart Institute in Miami Beach, Florida, will test whether EDTA chelation therapy and/or high-dose vitamin therapy is effective for the treatment of CAD. Vitamin and mineral supplements, consistent with the regimen used by practitioners who deliver EDTA chelation therapy, will be used in the study." -- from the NIH web site.

Perhaps this study will put to rest the notion that the protocol has no effect for CAD sufferers whether the theoretical basis is sound or not.

Whether you believe or doubt the efficacy of chelation you will find support for your position. But, I would caution that much of the supporting material, even from sources considered authoritative, is quite dated to the point of being misleading.

As Dr. Cranton himself points out, the worst that can be said for chelation therapy in the treatment of coronary artery disease is - "There is a disagreement among experts."

A Traditional Medicine Survivor

I cannot do this book and others like it justice, they saved my life literally! I was at the M.D.'s office when they noticed an unusual heartbeat and sent me to a Cardiologist who tried to kill me on the treadmill (later found out from UCLA scan my arteries were 70 to 90% blocked not a treadmill candidate!) then tried to rush me into surgery, never asked me mind you, he had the audacity to tell me this is what I was going to do! Luckily, my primary care MD was open minded and gave me this book to read, well after this book I went to UCLA received the scan to determine the extent of the damage as stated above. I had a series of Chelations (30) at a fraction of what my deductible would have been for the "miracle of bypass surgery". Went back to be scanned and guess what? NO MORE BLOCKAGE ! I am grateful for this book, my open minded MD and my new lease on life. Take it from one who has been there!

Learning the truth

In 1974 as a senior at Kansas State College, finishing up my degree in Biology/Chemistry I chose for my senior research project "Cadmium poisoning in Blue Green Algae". In this study I learned, first hand, the value EDTA can have on living systems. Plant mitochondria and animal mitochondria operate in exactly the same way, producing energy for living systems. It happens that in the most fundamental "engine" of our bodies, the Krebs Cycle , living systems, both plant and animal, are vulnerable to heavy metal poisoning.

Enzymes are the tools living systems use to extract energy from the nutrients we take in. I do not know the exact number but somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 percent (give or take 10) of these enzymes are " sulf-hydryl " enzymes. That is, they are ordinary enzymes that have a sulfur and hydrogen attached.

This is the problem. Heavy metals are strongly attracted to these sulf-hydryl sites and after attaching they render the enzyme unusable by our systems. What are heavy metals? Lead, we all know lead can kill us, mercury and arsenic, the same. But the list also includes aluminum, cadmium and other metals that we do not normally consider toxic.

So - what's the big deal? First, heavy metals in our systems are like "Hotel California" they check in ok but don't check out. They stay in our cells for a very very long time. Thus we are accumulating them throughout the course of our lives. Second the more heavy metals we have in our system the less efficient our energy manufacturing facilities are. It is exactly analogous to pulling two spark plug wires off the engine of your car. It will not have the energy it needs to perform.

It is my OPINION that many of the gradually debilitating diseases we seem to have so much in this country could be avoided if our bodies were performing at maximum efficiency.

Chelation therapy - what this book is about - "gets the lead out" and the arsenic and the cadmium and the aluminum and restores your body's energy production system back to full steam. This is a good thing!

Not surprisingly, when your body's energy production system is in top shape a lot of very interesting things happen. The blood supply to your brain increases, Your cardiovascular system begins to perform better and on and on and on.

In my research when I had apparently killed a colony of blue green algae completely, nothing left in the E-flask but an ugly brown clump. I could sprinkle a little EDTA in the flask, give it a good shake, and two days later there would be a green vibrant mass of healthy algae!

What do the MDs say? ( this is America and I am, so far, still allowed to express my opinions) They do not like it because EDTA is not a patentable compound therefore there is not a lot of money to be made by the drug companies. AND a quadruple bypass makes a lot more money for a physician that $3,000 for a series of ten IV treatments of EDTA. What else do they say? They say that it strips out all of the calcium from your body and you will break all your bones, Also, in my opinion, horse hocky . I have been doing chelation for the last 15 years and I know dozens of folks in the same boat and so far, not one broken bone, or calcium deficiency among us. It is wise to take a mineral supplement when doing chelation so that the body can be assured of maintaining the proper levels of good metals.

Chelation Therapy Saved Both of My Parents' Lives!

My dad is an MD and was skeptical when my mom (herself an RN) insisted on having Chelation Therapy over 10 years ago. My mom was not far from the exit from this life from many different ailments (including arteries which were 90% clogged). After several treatments, mom's health perked up so much that my dad became a believer and went in for Chelation Therapy himself (his arteries were also mostly clogged). Mom and Dad are still alive and in pretty good health.

My uncle had serious heart disease caused by clogged arteries, and was already in line to get open heart surgery when mom told him about what Chelation Therapy did for her. So my uncle dropped his open-heart surgery for the Chelation Therapy and never looked back.

My copy of the book is the 1990 printing of the book that my mom gave me after she became a "convert." I have been spreading the word to anybody I know who has heart problems.

Thank you Dr. Elmer Cranton for your dedication to Chelation Therapy and for saving so many lives.
