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 y

A MUST READ

This book is about the Chelation Therapy prcoess, but even more so, it is about how our bodies process elements from what we eat, and how we live our life and how the body processes substances, especially all the toxins that we comsume without even knowing it. There is alot of good statistical and medical information. And, why don't the vascular and cardiac specialists recommend this treatment in the cases where it could be very appropriate and life saving (as in the case of my mother which Chelation did save her from leg amputation!)? This book goes into some of the possible political reasons on the hush hush and widespread misconceptions about chelation practice. It is definiely a MUST READ.

new wave of medicine

Those who've written here to debunk chelation are a) clearly not informed medical professionals, and b) ignorant of its amazing benefits with virtually no risks (as opposed to the potential loss of life inherent in heart surgery). My husband is a doctor, and has trained in chelation. One patient was a diabetic who'd been to the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo ... all the top hospitals. They all recommended that his leg be amputated. He tried chelation, figuring the only thing he had to lose was his leg! After a lengthy series, he now has BOTH legs, and can work again and be a productive citizen. Another man we know of had such a poor prognosis with heart disease that he couldn't walk down the driveway to get his mail, and his doctor had him fill out DNR paperwork. (DNR: do not resuscitate) He tried chelation, again, as a last resort. He can now walk along the beach, be a part of his grandkids' lives. It's not just placebo; though -- as with any medical procedure -- some benefit more than others. The biggest lobby against chelation involves HEART SURGEONS! Why should they lose millions of dollars by recommending something benign and reasonably priced and non-invasive, which might just save their patients' lives??? (You can always have surgery later, if chelation doesn't help.) This book is the best source of information for those looking to know more ....

A Paradigm Shift in Understanding Heart Disease

How can this Book have not had more reviews? It changed my life and launched a career.Dr. Cranton answered the question which the doctor for my just-dead mother could not answer. I, a grieving son, asked, as you would, "Doctor, what causes heart disease?" He said "no one knows!"I had to accept that in the hospital waiting room, my mother's cold body pulling my attention away from the ignorance of modern medicine. But, I continued to look. I DID find books, many of them, by cardiologist, etc., where some doctor said "no one knows."Then, I found Dr. Cranton's Book. Actually this experience goes to his first edition. The book explained to me, a rational businessman, what was causing heart disease and how to prevent it.Within a few years I had learned tons more data about heart disease and launched an entire new career -- but Dr. Cranton's book was the beginning.

CHELATION SHOULD BE EXPLAINED TO ALL BYPASS CANDIDATES.

I READ THE BOOK BUT DELAYED STARTING THE THERAPY. AS A RESULT ,I WAS FORCED TO UNDERGO MULTIPLE BYPASS SURGERY AS MY MAIN ARTERY WAS 80% CLOGGED. THIS IS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AND I AM SORRY I DID NOT START THE CHELATION MONTHS AGO .BE ASSURED I SHALL BEGIN THERAPY AS SOON AS I HAVE RECOVERED FROM THE SURGERY!
