The Cure Doctors Don't Want You to Know!
by Jack Lee
Chelation therapy, ever hear of it? It's based on a substance called EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and it is supposed to remove the plaque in your arteries. Check out these claims from an ad on a popular internet site. This sounds like the greatest discovery since the polio vaccine.
The 23-Cent LIFE-SAVER Heart Surgeons NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT! The astonishing health miracle, 1.5 million grateful patients swear by... So safe, it's FDA-APPROVED for use in baby food: Proven THREE TIMES SAFER than aspirin—used worldwide for 56 years without any significant side-effects ever reported!
So effective, you can actually SEE it working: medical studies prove it works and U.S. doctors prescribe it every day! So cheap, it's JUST PENNIES A DAY: Just 23 cents per capsule — one-tenth the cost of a gallon of gas!
Ok, now wait just a sec, the product doctors don't want you to know , why? Really... why, because you will get well? Right off you should be suspicious because that statement is about as idiotic as they come. All doctors want to keep you sick? The next clue you are about to be frauded is this one, "grateful patients swear by it! " That's no evidence. This is testimonial evidence which is really next to worthless.
An independent research report said, "Between 1963 and 1985, independent physicians published at least fifteen separate reports documenting the case histories of more than seventy patients who had received chelation treatments. They found no evidence of change in the atherosclerotic disease process, no decrease in the size of atherosclerotic plaques, and no evidence that narrowed arteries opened wider."
In other medical trials..."EDTA did not result in any change in the patients' blood flow, red cell viscosity, red-cell aggregation, or triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Diehm also concluded that the improvements in walking measurements in both groups were directly related to his success in convincing them of his strong interest in their well being and his ability to motivate them to make an effort to perform greater activity."
The ad says, the brain cells that control learning, reasoning, coordination, and memory are being rejuvenated and sparking to life again... Nerve endings, once deadened, are being revived and electrified. Creaky, inflamed, and painful joints are being soothed, renewed, and rendered pain-free... Entire organs — from his eyes and ears... to his heart, lungs and liver... to his stomach, pancreas, and intestines — and even to his sexual organs — are being revitalized and are returning to their normal functions... Extremities — arms and hands, legs and feet — once cold, tingling and numb are now being warmed and sensitized by abundant supplies of life-giving blood! "
Chelation therapy has been conclusively shown to be up to 82 PERCENT EFFECTIVE at dissolving the plaque that blocks arteries!
Then this independant medical study says, "tests indicated no improvement in blood flow through the patients' coronary arteries and a slight progression of their atherosclerosis. Hopf concluded that chelation had no effect on diseased coronary arteries."
Do you think we need a truth in advertising law?
