Bypass the Need for By-pass Surgery
| |
|
|
We're not advocating bypass surgery! According to scientific evidence, this "deadly sin" of conventional medicine needs to be revised. Too many people die or end up in a nursing home due to complications from this procedure. In fact, far fewer people benefit from it than originally thought.
It takes a great leap of faith to let a surgeon - in the case of coronary bypass - crack open your chest, cutting through the breastbone, and put you on a heart-lung machine while attempting to correct blockages in coronary arteries which limit the flow of blood to the heart muscle.
The coronary artery bypass graft operation, also known as "bypass surgery," involves taking veins, and sometimes arteries, from other parts of the body (from the leg, chest or wrist) and grafting them from the aorta to the coronary artery to "bypass" or detour the blocked vessel.

The Achilles’ Heel
| |
|
| |
Although it's quite an amazing piece of surgery, in the vast majority of cases, bypass is a classic example of traditional medicine being:
- too much
- too late and
- not treating the cause of the problem.
The surgeon only repairs about two inches of the diseased blood vessels, usually recommending drugs to lower cholesterol and, eventually, sending you to a dietician, who is equally clueless.
|
Over 300,000 heart disease patients undergo coronary artery bypass surgery every year in the United States. Treatment for blocked heart arteries is the number two reason for U.S. hospital admissions. In 1996, congestive heart failure accounted for almost 1 million admissions, while heart attacks resulted in almost 800,000 hospital admissions.

|
A Partial Fix
| |
|
| |
Without doubt, bypass surgery does not alter the natural history of atherosclerosis which, in many instances, is progressive.
|
If a vein bypass has remained open in its first 4-12 months, it will likely remain open for the next 5-7 years. After that, this vein bypass may start to deteriorate.
A decade later, as many as 50-60 percent of vein bypasses will have closed, while half the vein grafts will evidence severe atherosclerotic narrowing.
|
For this reason, doctors tend to treat bypass patients with higher doses of cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as lovastatin and cholestyramine, in order to slower the progression of atherosclerosis in their bypass grafts. They advise these patients to lower their LDL-cholesterol levels to... 100mg/dL or even below! (The New England Journal of Medicine, January 16, 1997).
Unfortunately, the view that 'the lower the cholesterol, the better' is not always true!
At level under 150, you can be at a risk of... too low cholesterol. This condition may cause suboptimal function of such steroid hormones as
- pregnenolone,
- DHEA,
- testosterone,
- progesterone and estrogen -
and result in ... depression and other health problems.

A Decline In Mental Function
| |
|
| |
Bypass surgery may also cause both a temporary and a long-term decline in mental function. Five years after surgery, over 40 per cent of bypass patients experience reduced intellectual abilities (The New England Journal of Medicine 2001; 344).
Signs of this decline include:
- trouble with following directions,
- mood swings,
- short tempers, etc.

Bypass A Second Round of Surgery
| |
|
| |
If, however, you've had a successful bypass, then nutritional arterial cleansing, accompanied by regular screens for homocysteine and ferritin (iron storage), could be the finest route to prevent a second round of surgery - and the safest way to avoid going back into the hospital and coming out only partially fixed again...
In this way you can prevent the risks of another "revascularization" procedure.
|
"I had a 4x heart bypass 9 years ago, and urgently needed another about two years ago. However, I was told that I only had about a 65% chance of success with the 2nd one, and about 6 months - 1 year without it.
[...] About that time I found out about [Arterial Cleansing Formula] from someone who had marvelous results with [it] and had been in worse condition than I was. He put me in contact with several other people who had good results. What better recommendation could I have, so I decided to at least try it. It was easy , inexpensive, not invasive , and without risk, so why not.
I never needed to use nitro again, and the pain in my legs was gone in about 10 days. Needless to mention, I was elated, and have continued to improve. Convincing proof for me.
I have had a check up by my cardiologist every 6 months since then, and now [2000], TWO YEARS LATER, no longer need another bypass."
- R. Fulton, Glenrock, WY, United States

Reduce Buildup of Arterial Plaque
| |
|
| |
The following interior photos are of a coronary artery, of a 68-year-old male, before and after the nutritional cleansing. (The white patches and the central dark spot inside the arteries are reflections of the light used by the camera to illuminate its target).
|
|
Before:
An interior photo of a coronary artery, prior to the nutritional cleansing - blockage up to approximately 72 per cent.
|
|
|
After:
Another interior photo of the same coronary artery, after
five (5) months on the nutritional cleansing - blockage down to about 24 per cent.
|
|
With two (2) more months remaining of the nutritional cleansing, the blockage was reduced from 72 per cent down to 24 per cent! |

Arterial Cleansing Formula©
| |
|
| |
Arterial Cleansing Formula helps boost the body chemistry by helping the cells to
- receive more vital nutrients - nourishment needed for their optimal function (and survival), and
- undergo the ongoing process of detoxification - an essential factor in preventing and fighting all health problems.
All naturall substances (nutrients) in the Formula - not drugs whose substances are foreign to the body - are able to boost the body chemistry by:
- correcting possible deficiencies and/or imbalances, and
- providing optimum conditions for the proper functioning of the body's own intrinsic ability to heal itself.
This is especially important for those, who have a family history of diabetes, heart disease or stroke due to atherosclerosis.

Eating Plan For Arterial Health
| |
|
| |
As atherosclerosis, to a great extent, is intimately related to what you eat, your diet has a strong impact on your cardiovascular health. Therefore, your food choices should be given serious consideration.
Making serious efforts to trade your eating habits for healthy arteries and a healthy old age, can give your heart and cardiovascular system a longer, healthier life.
|
|
 |
Gentle Exercise For Arterial Health
| |
|
| |
There is strong evidence that exercise and stress reduction - if done regularly - are both protective of the cardiovascular system and supportive of the immune processes. For adults, atherosclerosis is almost always a sign of not enough exercise.
