BEAT HEART DISEASE WITHOUT SURGERY: CASE HISTORIES AND COMMENT- THE THIRD HISTORY
Case History: ET (male — 74)-I had my first heart attack at 45, a minor affair. But I viewed it as a warning and transferred my job from the Inland Revenue to Customs in Portsmouth. I’d only been there six months when I had another heart attack, a sharpish one. They wanted me to retire then – at 46!
After that there were serious constraints on what I did. I was cossetted, could drive the car a bit, couldn’t do a lot more. I had learned pottery earlier so I took that up again, exhibited a bit. I think you could say I was fairly active in some ways, in others not. Then I had another scare while on holiday in France and after that I had an angiogram. It was discovered then that I couldn’t have a bypass, the damage to my coronary arteries was too messy.
I began to sink then, lost hope. I was 67 and didn’t expect to see 70.1 was sleeping a lot, no energy -1 knew I was dying. My wife said I was getting fuzzy and forgetful. I went to my doctor immediately who said, ‘Why not? We can’t do any more for you.’
After two or three chelations, I saw a sharpening of my mind and then after 16 or 17 I noticed an enormous difference and so did my friends. My wife said it was like a miracle. Before that I could only walk 200-300 yards and now I could walk two or three miles.
Since then I’ve done a lot more pottery, and I also teach it once a week. I love that. I sporadically have top up treatments but it’s difficult as I live on the Isle of Wight. I’m coming up to 74 this summer and am getting a bit more angina than I did soon after the treatment. My carotids are not responding as well as we would like them to, but my doctor advised against carotid angioplasty, the medical alternative, as it might cause more problems than it would cure if a bit of plaque broke off and went somewhere else. My cholesterol level is now very good, 4.6.
I know I’m getting a bit older now and not so fit as before but I’ve had some more very good years when I was able to be useful. At the time it saved my life.
