decided to go for a procedure called chelation therapy instead of the bypass Yes, I've read about this therapy, its also used for lead poisoning. I've also read about some herbal remedies that will do something very similar over a longer period of time. You have to work hard to try to get the doctors to treat you with a therapy or procedure instead of the usual twins, surgery and drugs. vasomedical.com This company (VASO) has a therapy which helps to create collateral arteries in the heart. It works by using cuffs on your arms and legs that are similar to blood pressure cuffs. The cuffs inflate and put pressure on the veins when the heart is pumping out (which is when the heart takes blood for itself) and then deflate while the heart is pumping in. It has the same effect that intensive exercise has on the heart, because it puts pressure on the heart, the heart takes capillaries and converts them to arteries. Unfortunately its only prescribed when stents, angioplasty and bypass has failed and the patient is in too bad a shape to exercise, in other words after you are clearly a train wreck. It takes a hour a day for seven weeks and is completely painless and non-invasive. These two therapies could be used as preventative measures for heart disease but, of course, because most insurance won't cover a lot of preventative measures most doctors would never prescribe them. People have to take control over their health. In order to do that they have look at more than what their insurance will pay for or what their doctor will prescribe. So far my health insurance hasn't paid for one pair of my running shoes, my bike or my free weights. My doctor is more likely to tell me about the dangers of running and biking, while he sits there looking like he's ready for the cath lab himself.
