- Heart disease is a leading global health crisis, responsible for nearly half of U.S. deaths. Despite its prevalence, conventional medicine focuses on temporary fixes (e.g., drugs, surgeries) rather than root causes, often with harmful side effects.
- In the book «Alternative Medicine Guide to Heart Disease,» Burton Goldberg and his co-authors advocate for natural and alternative therapies such as dietary changes, exercise, chelation and hyperbaric oxygen to prevent and reverse heart disease by addressing nutrient deficiencies, toxicity and lifestyle factors.
- Chelation therapy (using EDTA to clear arterial plaque) and hyperbaric oxygen (repairing stroke damage) are proven alternatives to invasive surgeries but face resistance due to pharmaceutical and medical industry profit motives.
- Innovative diagnostics like darkfield blood microscopy can identify early heart disease risks. Case studies, like a patient avoiding bypass surgery through chelation, demonstrate the power of alternative approaches.
- The book urges readers to explore alternative treatments, advocate for research and take proactive steps to reclaim heart health, proving heart disease is preventable and reversible.
Heart disease has become one of the most pressing health crises of our time, affecting millions worldwide and claiming nearly half of all deaths in the United States. Yet, despite its devastating toll, conventional medicine has made limited progress in truly addressing the root causes of this epidemic.
The book «Alternative Medicine Guide to Heart Disease,» co-written by Burton Goldberg and the editors of Alternative Medicine magazine, challenge this status quo. It presents a compelling case for prevention and reversal through natural and alternative therapies.
Atherosclerosis, the hardening and clogging of arteries, was virtually unheard of in 1900 but is now a leading cause of death. Conventional treatments such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, angioplasty and bypass surgery often provide only temporary relief while carrying serious risks, including strokes, brain damage and recurrence of symptoms.
Worse, these invasive procedures are frequently overprescribed. This leaves patients trapped in a cycle of dependency on medications and surgeries that fail to address the underlying causes of their condition.
The book dismantles the myth that heart disease is an inevitable consequence of aging. Instead, it argues that it is largely preventable and, in many cases, reversible. The key lies in a comprehensive approach that targets multiple contributing factors including nutrient deficiencies, toxicity and poor lifestyle habits.
Alternative medicine offers practical solutions through dietary changes, exercise, supplementation and innovative therapies like chelation and hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Conventional medicine has overlooked these methods due to political and economic barriers.
Chelation therapy, for instance, has proven highly effective in clearing arterial plaque and reversing atherosclerosis. It offers a non-invasive alternative to bypass surgery using EDTA, a substance that binds to heavy metals and removes them from the bloodstream. Similarly, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has successfully restored brain function in stroke patients by delivering oxygen to damaged tissues, even years after the event.
Despite their effectiveness, these treatments remain underutilized. This is because they threaten the profits of pharmaceutical companies and the medical-industrial complex, which prioritizes costly procedures over affordable, patient-centered care.
The statistics are sobering: Cardiovascular disease kills an American every 33 seconds, with women and African Americans disproportionately affected. Yet, the book highlights groundbreaking diagnostic tools like darkfield live blood microscopy. This method can detect early warning signs of heart disease by analyzing live blood cells for abnormalities such as platelet clustering – a precursor to clots and silent heart attacks.
One of the most inspiring stories in the book is that of Carlon, a patient who defied 14 doctors’ recommendations for triple-bypass surgery and instead turned to alternative medicine. Through chelation therapy and targeted supplementation, Carlon not only eliminated his chest pains but regained the ability to ride his bicycle 25 miles a day – proof that invasive surgery is not the only option.
The overarching message is clear: Heart disease is not an unavoidable fate. By embracing alternative medicine – whether through diet, exercise, chelation or oxygen therapy – individuals can reclaim control of their health and avoid unnecessary suffering.
The book urges readers to educate themselves, seek out effective therapies beyond conventional medicine and advocate for more research into these life-saving treatments. With the right knowledge and proactive measures, a future free from heart disease is not just possible – it’s within reach.
