For those unfamiliar with chelation therapy, it is a remarkably effective way for anyone with atherosclerosis severe enough to require bypass surgery to avoid the surgeon's knife. Over the past 50 years, more than a million patients with severe arterial blockages have been able to avoid bypass surgery safely and in relative comfort. Unlike with bypass surgery, not a single fatality has been attributed to the properly administered procedure, and patients have gone on to live their lives without the painful and limiting surgical aftermath. The treatment requires multiple infusions of an EDTA solution (Ethyline Diamine Tetraacetic Acid) over a three to four hour period. The EDTA has the capacity to grasp calcium particles and carry them out of the body via the kidneys. This can take several months, but the result is spectacularly improved circulation and a new lease on life for the recipients. Most patients report feeling decidedly better after the very first chelation with a sudden return of much of their old energy.
Opposition Has Been Fierce
This has not escaped the notice of the surgery business. Their $80,000.00 operations were being threatened. Hospitals with expensive surgical suites could find their facilities underutilized. Conventional medics, strapped into the University dogma felt severe bruises to their collective ego. How dare these upstarts dart off in unapproved directions! The inevitable opposition to change mobilized its forces. Alternative physicians offering chelation therapy have found themselves maligned, ridiculed, harassed, and shunned by their peers. Attempts have been made to have some of them indicted on criminal charges.
A continuous barrage of negative press has been heaped on them. Intense attempts have been made at discovering flaws in the treatment. Hospital records have been scoured in search of chelation related fatalities. The naysayers have consistently come up empty. Their negative arguments have grown weaker and less convincing with every failed attempt at discrediting the procedure. But then, finally, their persistence received a promise of reward.
Found! A Chink In the Armor
It has been discovered that the EDTA in the chelating solution fails to clear the severely impacted mass of calcification in the large heart arteries, and the aorta. Never mind the fact that chelation therapy with EDTA clears all the smaller arteries very effectively, and that in point of fact, the treatment establishes excellent collateral circulation around the blockages (just as surgery does). This was something for the opponents of chelation to jump on with all four feet!
Only to be Foiled Again
They haven't had very long to gloat. As quickly as they began to mount their new campaign against chelation therapy, a brand new treatment has appeared which effectively addresses the limitations of EDTA chelation.
Chelox Therapy Steps Into the Breach
The treatment, quoined Chelox Therapy by its practitioners, dates back to the 1960s, when research at Baylor University conclusively showed that intra-arterial hydrogen peroxide dissolves plaque in large arteries. This makes H202 a wonderful compliment to EDTA in the treatment of vascular disease, as EDTA has already been used to clear small vessels and create collateral circulation around the larger blockages. Here, Chelox Therapy involves the combination of treatment with EDTA and H202, each on different days, separated by at least a day. Both therapies work in different ways, and when given on the same day, cross react with each other and offer the possibility of intravenous thrombosis. Administering the two therapies in combination to a patient, each one on different days with 48 hours between them, has been found to be a very powerful treatment for atherosclerosis; more powerful in such a combination than in either therapy alone.
Taking Back Your Health
The infusion of EDTA lasts between three and four hours. EDTA is hard on the kidneys and careful monitoring of the patient's kidney function is required during the course of the treatment. Any patient with compromised kidney function cannot be a candidate for chelation therapy. Hydrogen peroxide therapy is much more benign. Hydrogen Peroxide is part of the normal body metabolism. The body produces it constantly. It is an intrinsic part of the body's infection fighting mechanism and receiving an external boost in the supply can only be beneficial. The infusion of H202 lasts 90 minutes. Patients receiving it, will notice a warm feeling during treatment. That's about it. The main effect of hydrogen peroxide treatment is that a patient will regain his health. This is an exciting new development in the treatment of vascular disease being used by many fine doctors in the U.S. and Canada and deserves the consideration of anyone imperiled by the prospect of bypass surgery.
Hydrogen peroxide treatment is not limited to Chelox Therapy. Its use is constantly being expanded as it becomes better understood. It has been shown to be effective against AIDS, Cancer, Influenzal Pneumonia and other diseases.
