1. 1
Comparison of EDTA Chelation,
Angioplasty and Bypass Surgery

2. 2
Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons invariably recommend either
angioplasty or bypass surgery to patients suffering from
coronary artery disease. Almost all diabetologists do not attempt
to save the gangrenous leg. They give heinous advise of leg
amputation.
As said earlier the objective of most of the so called experts
trained in modern medicine is to push up the profit of hospitals
and pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of medical
instruments through rampant recommendations of surgical
procedures. As EDTA chelation therapy does not achieve any of
these objectives they do not recommend it even if it is the best
treatment to reverse the disease.
The truth behind this becomes apparent from the comparison of
death and adverse events in these treatments presented in the
forthcoming slides. The conclusions of the recently concluded
TACT, a 10 year long research project, is that chelation therapy is

3. 3
Chelation therapy is a boon to diabetic patients suffering from
coronary artery disease. Of course, organizations like American
Medical Association and American Heart Association endeavor
best efforts to ensure that such information does not reach
public.
These organization made herculean efforts in hiding the results
of TACT by opposing their publication in JAMA, AHJ etc.
The information about angioplasty and bypass surgery given in
the comparison presented in the forthcoming slides, is taken
from following two books published by Wiley in the year 2003.
"So, You Are Having Heart Cath and Angioplasty" by Magnus
Ohman - a cardiologist and
“So, You Are Having Heart Bypass Surgery” by Bret Sheldon a
cardiac surgeon.
Information about chelation therapy has been taken from many
different sources.

The comparison presented in this slide proves EDTA chelation
therapy to be superior to other two modalities.
It is superior to angioplasty on 15 out of 18 criteria. Only on three
criteria angioplasty is equally good as EDTA chelation therapy.
It is superior to bypass surgery on 16 out of 18 criteria. On one
criteria both are equally good.
Only on criteria, viz."Recurrence of angina in one year" bypass
surgery is found to be superior to chelation therapy and far
superior to angioplasty.
The reason for this fact can be explained as under.
When signals of angina are generated in the heart they are felt
only when they get transmitted through nerves up to the brain.
All such nerves pass through pericardium. In bypass surgery
pericardium has to be heavily cut in order to reach heart.
Naturally, nerves also get cut and pain vanishes.

6. 6
Even though pericardium is stitched back at the end of
surgery, the nerves remain in discontinuity and pain remains
vanished.
This means bypass surgery creates pseudo effect. Actually it is
not very effective to the extent it is believed to be.

7. 7
The table in the previous slide compares the three modalities on
some more criteria.
On these criteria also EDTA chelation therapy proves superior.
With the towering high costs of medical treatments, particularly
surgeries, one has to think of yearly cost for the treatment
alternative chosen. On this criteria EDTA chelation therapy
proves far superior because its cost is only about one third than
the other two alternatives.
Other two important criteria of comparison are, Does the
therapy treat the cause of coronary artery disease? and Does it
reverses other degenerative diseases present in the body?
Bypass surgery or angioplasty do neither of these two things but
chelation therapy effectively does both these things.
I recommend chelation therapy to all the patients because it
works curatively and preventatively.

In the year 2005, R. Blaha, T. Born and T. Chappell made a 3 year
follow up of the health condition of 220 patients who underwent
chelation therapy during year 1992 to 2001. Later they compared
the data with the condition of about equal number of patients
who had similar diagnosis before the treatment but had chosen
either to remain only on medicines or underwent bypass surgery
or underwent angioplasty.
The data obtained is presented in the following table.

The data indicates,
1 Likelihood of heart attack greatly increases after angioplasty
as well as bypass surgery in comparison to remaining only on
medicines.
2 The only apparent blemish to EDTA chelation therapy is that
turning to bypass surgery after it is little higher than that in case
of bypass surgery. This happens because a surgeon usually does
not recommend second bypass surgery within three years.
However, a cardiologist is too eager to recommend bypass
surgery or angioplasty after EDTA chelation therapy.
3 Even though much importance is not given to death caused
by heart disease the success rates of chelation therapy is
extensively high as compared to the other treatment modalities.
Thus from all the angles of comparison EDTA chelation therapy
is far superior to either remaining on conventional medicines or
undergoing angioplasty or undergoing bypass surgery.
