This is an excerpt from my Book, Life Flow One, The Solution For Heart Disease.
If you have a very serious heart problem, I recommend that you get I/V Chelation Therapy even before you buy my Oral Chelation formula, Life Glow. But, if you are interested in a preventive treatment, you can read here about the IV and compare it with the Oral Chelation which is described throughout the 1,200 pages of this web site.
It is a well proven therapy and has been performed on more people than have received bypass surgery.
There are, of course, tremendous differences. The cost of bypass surgery has risen steadily until it now costs about $50,000 for a multiple bypass.
Intravenous chelation therapy costs about $120 per treatment, with 20 to 30 treatments recommended. When you add in costs for physical exams and vitamins, you are paying certainly less than $5,000.
The death rate on the operating table, from bypass surgery, varies from 1% to as high as 25% depending on what doctor holds the knife. The differences used to be greater, but publicity started by Thomas Moore’s book, Heart Failure, forced several hospitals to transfer (rather than to report to the police for murder) those surgeons whose death rates were too high. But, the average death rate, under the knife, is about 5%.
The death rate while undergoing intravenous chelation therapy? Zero!
How about the improvement in quality of life.
Bypass surgery patients are generally relieved from angina pain immediately. Of course they also suffer from massive trauma to the chest and some weeks in bed or without much activity while they recover from one of the most serious surgeries now being performed. But, they do eliminate angina pain.
Placebos have been known to do just as well at eliminating that angina pain. And when the heart surgeon sticks in hand in the chest cavity, behind the heart, and plucks out a nerve that sends chest pain messages to the person -- he has eliminated angina pain. Or, at least, that is HIS solution to the problem!
Intravenous chelation therapy also relieves angina pain, but it may take as long as four or five treatments. You normally get between two and four chelation treatments per week, over a period of weeks. Each treatment takes about three hours. You get a needle in your arm and a bottle of fluid hanging on a movable stand. You can easily get up to go to the bathroom while receiving the treatment. Some people sleep, others watch TV or read.
Dear Mr. Loren,
I experienced severe cramps in my left lower extremity, in the year 1988. I read a number of books on chelation; and decided to undergo treatment for the relief of my condition. After undergoing twenty treatments under the care of Dr. JLS of Maitland, Florida the cramps disappeared. I was advised to continue my appointments periodically, but, failed to do so.
While under treatment at the clinic of the doctor I met and talked with many patients who told me they were advised to undergo double and triple by-pass surgery which they refused. One of the patients was a chiropractor. They stated that after successive chelation treatments they were fully recovered, to the dismay of their heart surgeons.
A few years later, I started to experience painful cramps in my right lower extremity. I learned about oral chelation by the use of [VL] vitamins. I have been taking the vitamins, and have no more painful cramps. I work outdoors in our citrus grove, and am very grateful for my good health which I attribute to [VL.] I am a registered nurse and therefore try to help people. I studied the value and importance of vitamins and recommend [VL] to all for a healthy life.
I heartily endorse the reading of the Book titled Life Flow One, The Solution For Heart Disease.
That was from Jane A. of Winter Park, Florida, written after she read the First Edition of this Book. There are many chelation doctors in Florida, and also in California -- and there are more than 1,000 of them, spread all over the world!
One of the amazing things about chelation clinics is that you’ll usually find a room with a large number of chairs where the patients sit while getting treated. I have received chelation many times. What I’ve observed is that THESE patients talk to one another -- a lot! They are almost all amazed at the improvement in how they feel and they want to talk to others about it. When you sit in a chelation clinic you’ll hear a lot of conversations about the differences between "before chelation" and "after chelation."

How about quality of life over the next several months?
Bypass surgery patients have to take it easy for a while. Chelation patients are often playing golf after the first week.
Bypass surgery operations have to be repeated often -- about every five years. There is no discount for the second surgery.
Many chelation doctors recommend that, after the first series of chelation treatments, you get "boosters" every month, or several times per year. The second bypass will still cost $20,000+, while several booster treatments of chelation will cost a few hundred dollars.
Insurance? Well, you can guess. Insurance companies pay for bypass, depending on your coverage. Some doctors do get chelation covered by insurance, but usually the insurance won’t pay for this far superior, and much less expensive treatment.
How about longevity?
Here is the biggest difference of all.
Bypass surgery patients have no change in their expected life -- compared to heart patients who had the same symptoms and don’t get the surgery.
Chelation patients have a tremendous increase in their expected life, although the chelation doctors are reluctant to admit it. It turns out that intravenous chelation therapy greatly reduces the risk of cancer as well as further heart disease. The chelation treatment deals with basic sources of all illness -- the tiny particles of metal which accumulate over time and which greatly increase the production of free radicals in the body. As the interior source of free radical production is reduced, by more than one million times, the acceleration of aging stops and people generally feel much younger.
Doctors who do chelation are afraid to tell you of these benefits because they are already under attack by the drug interests, the FDA (covertly) and the AMA.
Long term studies of patients who were chelated many years ago show that they die less often of cancer and other disease than "normal" people who were not chelated.
I’m not going to write much more about this wonderful process because many other books do that job well.
I have received chelation therapy from more than a dozen different chelation doctors -- I would recommend any and all of them.
I am just as guilty as hundreds of chelation doctors in having told thousands of people that intravenous chelation therapy works because a substance (EDTA) is put into your blood stream and when it gets there it "grabs" the calcium from the walls of the arteries where it was stuck. Then, the story went, the calcium is peeled away, exposing a layer of cholesterol which "washes away," leaving another layer of calcium to be taken away by the same or a subsequent chelation treatment.
This story made sense to thousands of people who got chelation treatments and received wonderful benefits.
But, one of the problems with this story has been that biochemists and researchers knew that it couldn’t be true. Knowing that a chelating substance would take the LOOSE calcium in the bloodstream far more quickly than it would "chip away" at the rock-hard calcium on the walls of the arteries, these experts knew that the story was false.
They also knew that while a chelating substance might take loose calcium out of the bloodstream, it would be more likely to take heavier elements first, such as mercury or lead, than calcium.
These chelation doctors KNEW that their treatments were "working," but they didn’t actually know why!
When they were confronted by the experts on the first story, some of the fell back to the second story -- that the chelating substance removed the LOOSE calcium from the bloodstream and because the calcium content of the blood is critically important, the body then dissolved some of the calcium from the plaque stuck on the walls of the artery -- to put into the bloodstream.
That didn’t work with the biochemists either!
The chelation doctors got into some heavy discussions about various theories.
I’ve heard many of these theories, and read all the books I could find but the one explanation which now seems most scientific to me is the one presented by Dr. Elmer Cranton in his revised Bypassing Bypass.
I won’t repeat his material here, but his explanation is conceptually simple and I’ve already described some of it earlier.
The body gradually accumulates toxic metals and these metals do most of their damage because they cause extremely large quantities of free radicals to be produced in the body -- without themselves being "used up."
These free radicals cause the damage I’ve described, cause the arteries to get hardened, rigid and blocked. But, research reports that had not been widely read showed that there were people who died of heart attacks who had NO blockage in their arteries. Just the hardened arteries, without blockage, can be enough to cause a heart attack when there is a spasm (sudden tightening of some muscle) which causes a shortage of blood to the heart and the hardened arteries won’t open up to allow more blood to get through.
Intravenous chelation therapy, first, removes those heavy metals, usually toxic, which cause tremendous multiplication of free radicals. This cuts out billions and billions of free radicals from even being created because the toxic metals have been removed from your body.
So, immediately all that poison being produced in the body STOPS.
Oh, there are still other sources of free radicals, but these metal molecules are so tiny that they have not been observed before, but they are fantastic generators of free radicals.
Next, the elimination of excessive free radicals allows the tissue of the arteries to start recovering, and even healing itself. Individual cells pick up calcium as they get weakened by free radicals. When there are fewer free radicals bothering them (and it helps to drink more water to fill up the blood cells -- see Section Five), the cells can kick out the errant calcium particles.
The hardened arteries can actually start recovering some of their health as long as the calcium has not actually caused death of a cell in the artery.
You will start hearing of a large number of reports, over the next few years, coming from the more research-minded chelation doctors. I hope to include comments from them in any revision of this Book, or in my regular newsletters.
For here, and for now, let me conclude by simply saying that there is abundant evidence that "chelation works!" You find chelation patients eager to tell their friends about the treatment. Word of mouth is the most common explanation of how people hear about it.
It reverses the symptoms of heart disease and prevents cancer. These are the two biggest killers in society today.
What chelation handles is the damage caused by free radicals; the therapeutic benefit of the chelating substance in reducing free radical activity and even reversing damage that had been done by those free radicals is astounding.
This formula is often referred to as oral chelation -- taking its name from the earlier treatment called intravenous chelation therapy. Let me start by explaining this word, chelation:
The prefix of this word, chelation, comes from the Greek word for the claws of a lobster or crab -- and the word has come to mean the grabbing action of a lobster or crab. The suffix, tion, simply makes the word into an "activity." So, you could say that "chelation" is an activity of grabbing.
When you eat food, some of the particles in that food could well be inorganic minerals. You might even take a mineral supplement, for instance calcium. When particles of calcium, or any other inorganic mineral, get into your stomach, your body knows right away that this is not food -- this is a small rock. So, the digestive process coats that small rock with something which the body thinks is food -- a form of protein. The "coating" process is actually a "grabbing" process since the particle of calcium usually has an electrical charge such that it pulls toward it, or grabs, some of these protein materials. You wind up with the rock particle covered with something the body thinks is food.
So, the "food" particle moves along into the intestine where it is absorbed through the intestine, like food, and gets into the blood stream. You then have that little rock of calcium moving along, ready to provide calcium to the body.
Obviously the process is more complex than I’ve described, but this is the most common application of the word chelation within the body. The minerals that get into the stomach are naturally chelated by your body so that the body will absorb them.
Because this natural chelation process requires materials which are in short supply in some people, particularly older people, minerals may be swallowed but never be absorbed into the body because they are not chelated in the body.
Thus, there are minerals you can buy in a vitamin store where the minerals are already chelated -- so the stomach doesn’t have to do it. These minerals are simply coated with some protein material so that the stomach doesn’t have to chelate them. Chelated minerals, then, are minerals which have grabbed ahold of some protein to make the body think the particle is food.
Chelation is a process of "grabbing." Usually the grabbing is caused by two different items having different electrical charges -- like the north pole and the south pole of a magnet will attract each other, two different items floating in the stomach, or in the blood stream, can attract each other, and actually become bound together as if they were only one particle -- a central core of some material surrounded by a coating of the chelating material.

THAT it works has never been in doubt. I was lecturing on oral chelation as long ago as June, 1984! I gave a lecture in a small family restaurant in Sun City, California. Lloyd A. Johnson and his wife sat right up in the front row. Later they wrote to me:
Dear Karl,
I am grateful that I could attend your recent dynamic presentation at Sun City. You pointed out so clearly the health benefits to be derived by anyone, but especially by us "seasoned citizens," when we understand the working of our physical bodies. You truly bring good news to help increase the number as well as the quality of the days each of us has left.
In my case, I have had blood circulation problems for several years, with very weak pulse in both feet. After two minutes swimming in the ocean my legs ached, turned a sickly yellow color and became numb. In recent months fingers on my left hand have been yellow and cold and at times swollen.
A computerized stroke prevention examination disclosed that blood flow in my left carotid artery was diminished 30% due to narrowing from plaque buildup. I wondered how much restriction was elsewhere in my plumbing system.
My legs were beginning to turn black; I had open sores on my feet. The doctor told me I had gangrene and that if it didn’t get better I’d have to have both my legs amputated!
I started taking oral chelation. In three weeks I was thrilled to find my fingers and feet turning as pink as a baby’s and feeling warm instead of the usual cold. After three months on oral chelation I have nearly normal circulation again. There has been another plus!
Beginning ten years ago at age 67 my weight steadily dropped from 198 to 135 pounds, but in these last three months I have gained back ten pounds and experienced greatly increased energy.
Mrs. Johnson and I now square dance two to three times each week. We frequently hike the mountain trails at Idylwild and I feel wonderful. I recommend oral chelation without reservation.
Sincerely Yours,
Lloyd A. Johnson
Do you know anyone whose legs were chopped off in the hospital?
It has never been true that the vitamins will strip away the rock-like calcium which may be stuck on the walls of the arteries.
When people who first promoted the vitamin approach to chelation therapy tried to explain how the vitamins worked, they fell into the same trap that the early chelation doctors did. The vitamin people said that the vitamins removed the calcium from the plaque in the arteries. They would admit that the removal process was slower than for the intravenous technique, but point out that it was less expensive and more convenient.
Vitamin people tend to be very practical. They try something. It works! They keep using it. It keeps working. That should be enough, but our scientific mentality requires that the vitamin people have an explanation of "how" it works.
To them, and to me too, the fact that it works is more important than HOW it works, but in order to satisfy some of these requests for theory, the vitamin people, myself included, have looked for logical theories and jumped on whatever seemed reasonable.
It has not been unusual for either a doctor OR a patient to experience tremendous improvement without understanding how it happened. They are obviously grateful and don’t throw away the gain for lack of understanding. Typically such stories are recounted in anecdotal form, such as this fine letter from Fred K of Chili, Wisconsin:
Dear Mr. Loren,
I would like to tell you my story of how you helped me in problems I had with my health.
In 1988, being in poor health with bad circulation in my legs and feet, I talked to a guy in the booth next to mine in a fair in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The fair was "Klondike Days." He saw me at rest and began to relate his medical problems and how he overcame them.
He said he had very bad case of arthritis. He was bedridden and was no longer able to walk; it was difficult to sleep at night so he often listened to the radio to pass the time.
He tuned into your program [on KIEV, Glendale, CA, midnight to 6 AM, five nights per week]. I believe it was a call-in show where listeners could get help with the proper mixture of herbs, glandulars and vitamins. He was told the XX pills contained the necessary nutrients to obtain the optimum benefit to and in recovering his health.
He further states that you talked to him several times over a period of months. He had regained his health in a matter of a few months. He was able to actually work again (he was a farmer). He further stated his older brother had health problems also and was scheduled for a surgery on his arteries (blocked in four places) three months away.
He told his brother that XX pills brought back his health change and suggested he take them to improve his health in order to withstand the operation. He did.
Three months later the brother’s condition improved so much that the doctor in the pre-operation physical could not find any blockages.
He convinced me to try them.
I purchased three bottles of 300 pills and went back home. I took ten a day for the time of three months.
Boy! Was I glad I did. After having leg cramps, poor circulation in my lower body and sweaty feet, and my health was deteriorating, the turn around was 180o. It was unbelievable.
I felt like I had a new lease on life. I continued with the pills and backed down to five XX a day to date. My legs are fine now. I can ride a bike and no more cramps or feet that smelled and sweat.
I know that your formula in the pills were responsible for my new lease on life. Thank you, Karl Loren, for getting the word out and to help people to help themselves to a better life.
PS.
I’m now 67 years old and retired. You may use this letter as you see fit. I enjoyed your book, Life Flow One and am passing it around to others in my family.

The toxic metals in the body would normally be expelled by normal body processes. However, it is more tricky than that. Take a toxic substance such as mercury. Virtually all the mercury in the body is a toxic danger. Almost all of the mercury which would be in the body would be connected to some protein. If it were not, the body would get rid of it. Cysteine has the ability to reverse this protein binding for mercury and thus expose the free mercury to the natural cleansing system of the body. This is just one way by which cysteine does its wonderful work within an oral chelation formula.
Cysteine is currently a hot topic for research, including a form of Cysteine with a slightly different name. I’ve provided, in the Endnote, an "abstract" of a meeting of the Second International Cancer Chemo Prevention Conference, in April, 1993, held in Berlin, Germany.
I’m currently working on a super oral chelation formula which would have the new form of cysteine in it. The formula in the Appendix is the one which has produced all the good results over so many years. The new formula will be announced in my monthly newsletter when I have it completed.
The trick in designing a super vitamin formula is NOT in figuring out what ingredients to include. That data abounds in many places -- including many thousands of respectable scientific reports.
No, the trick to success with such a formula lies in the promotion and sale of it.
The drug companies get patents on their drugs, and then can charge you $1.00 for a pill that costs one penny.
The very clever nutritionist who spends thousands of hours designing a wonderful vitamin formula, knows that as soon as it is announced, he will have a dozen rip-off artists copying the formula.
The related problem is price. It IS easy to come up with fantastic vitamin formulas, but they tend to be very expensive. They are certainly cheaper than drugs, but far more expensive than your typical One-A-Day brand stuff in the drug store.
When you see a vitamin formula, designed by a well-known health professional, and it costs $150 for a one-month supply, do you shudder?
The drug cartels and the FDA may be terrible for our health, but excellent alternatives are held back from the market because there is no simple way for a developer or honest vitamin company to protect its investment in research, or to prevent someone from cheapening the product and lowering the price.
This is NOT a problem I’m offering to solve in this Book, but this Book IS part of a solution. If you read this Book, you should consider the importance of the data in this Book, and then figure out how you can support people, like the author, who do this. Believe me, proceeds on the sale of the Book don’t amount to much unless you have one of those subsidized deals which the drug-oriented authors get!
I have also reviewed hundreds of other research studies, mostly on the amino acid, Cysteine. This Book is not intended to be an exhaustive presentation of the scientific evidence supporting "oral chelation," but it is there for those who want to examine it.
I have received so many glowing reports from individuals who have avoided bypass surgery or heart drugs when they started this vitamin formula that I have no doubt that it works.

What Have People
Experienced?
Ivar Antonsson wrote to me from Chicago, two different letters, in 1987. His handwriting and grammar were difficult as English was not his normal language. But, the sincerity shines through:
Dear Karl,
February and March, 1987, I was getting worse and worse in blood vessels and heart. I was terrible tired all the time. I had trouble to breath -- always short of breath my feet was cold like ice -- I was working as a carpenter but it was increasingly worse for me to work. In the month of April, I passed out a couple of times, and found myself lying on the ground. Then, I decided to see my family doctor. (I was already on high blood pressure medication since 20 years back -- 1965.)
The doctor checked me up and I was told I was in bad shape -- the Doctor was right -- I agreed to 100%. In fact he told me to stay in the hospital and he was getting a bed for me right away.
Don’t leave, he said. You could fall down and die any time. We will probably have to give you an bypass. Right then I felt very tired of everything -- but I told my doctor I’m going home -- I want to die home. I have to give you medication anyway, the doctor said.
So I got all this pills with long and difficult names:
Cardizem -- 3 times a day.
NitroBid 2 times a day.
Nitroglycerin - for chest pain as needed
+ Blood pressure pills
Hydroclorothiazide
Lopressor -- twice a day.
I went home -- to live or to die!
I was one subscriber to Spotlight. There I found out about chelation -- Karl Loren and all that.
‘I had known about it for a long time -- and that was the reason I could walk out from the doctor and hospital.
Right away I ordered my first 8 bottles of XX.
I took doctors’ medication every day -- and was waiting for the package from California.
After it came -- I had a tuff time. Because I took the doctors pills and also xx -- the same time.
In the month of May, 1987, a lot of changes took place in my body and spirit. In the end of May I cut down on doctors pill to half. In the middle of June I cut out all doctors pills and also then the blood pressure medication -- in the end of June I felt so good -- so I went to my doctor for an check-up.
So the doctor checked me. and he says, "What happened to you. You don’t need the medication any more."
I said, I know .
That was the last time I was to the doctor.
After that I kept on for a full year with 10 pill a day of xx. I felt like a new man. I could breathe again -- I could work full days -- my feet was warm again, circulation in both my feet (the left foot was partly like sleeping and dead before).
I couldn’t sleep -- because my feet. I put on heavy socks -- made by my old mother in Sweden -- still could not get warm.
Wintertime inside or outside always cold feet.
After one year on XX I now have to get the feet outside the bed cover just to cool them off once in a while. That is one thing.
Another is what I call the sledgehammer effect.
When I laid in bed -- it made an awful noise, like an sledgehammer -- ever time my heart beat. When you sleep on the side -- your ear is against the pillow then the noise.
Now I can hardly hear anything -- something like a soft whisper. It is too good to be true.
Other things I did was
Cut homogenized milk (skim milk instead)
Cut out margarine -- butter instead.
Eat real eggs -- no substitute
Drink distilled water.
Cut out meats -- fish instead.
Now it’s October, 1989, 1 1/2 years since I had my close encounter.
For the last year I have taken XX every day just to keep up the good work.
If my testimony can be used I don’t know.
I’m not very good to make it short enough. But, maybe it can be worked over to be possible to use.
Sincerely,
Ivar Antonsson
Here’s a wonderful story from Alfred H. Berger for whom his exercise bike was so very important:
Dear Karl,
I am very happy to say that the results I have had with XX are excellent. I received my three bottles in March, 1985. After 2 weeks of use, I was able to increase by 3 MPH my speed on my bicycle over the previous months.
After one month I was able to move the chain to the next higher gear and increase my speed to 15 MPH up hill.
After finishing 3 bottles (90 days) I am able to pedal at 18 MPH up hill. Before the therapy my legs would get very tied. Now my legs get a little tired, but that goes away when I’m pedaling on flat ground.
I have increased my speed to 18 MPH from 10 MPH and I’m not as tired. I ride 1 mile every day in about 4 minutes.
I moved the chain to the next higher gear. I am able to pedal the 1 mile and my legs don’t tire at all.
I’m only pedaling at 15 MPH. I’m going to gradually build up to 20 MPH. The therapy has helped me greatly. I am 51 years old. I have never had any heart problems, and I don’t intend to have any thanks to oral chelation therapy.
Sincerely,
Alfred H. Berger.

Simple Mineral Supplements
People often ask me about what causes their heart to beat irregularly, or to skip a beat. I’m certainly not a doctor, nor do I attempt to give you medical advice in this Book, but consider the importance of two very common minerals in your blood stream.
You have two minerals which the body considers so important that it will steal these minerals from other parts of the body, if necessary, just to keep the supply up to requirements within the blood stream.
One of those is calcium and the other is magnesium.
When your heart beats, it closes and opens, or it contracts and relaxes. That’s the action of the heart. When it closes, or contracts, it is pumping the blood out of the heart into the arteries and through the body.
When the heart relaxes, it opens up, and new blood from the lungs enters the heart, filling it up so that it can be pumped out.
So, the heart is constantly getting tight, or contracting, and relaxing, as it beats.
The mineral calcium plays a vital role in the tightening action of the heart.
The contraction of the heart depends on there being enough calcium in the blood stream. If there is not enough calcium, the heart might not contract all the way, giving you a weak heart beat.
Generally, calcium is considered so important by the body that the body will weaken your bones, stealing calcium from the bones in order to keep enough calcium floating along in the blood stream.
So, generally, most people have the right amount of calcium in their arteries to keep the heart contracting properly.
But, magnesium -- that’s a different story.
Magnesium is the mineral in the blood stream that causes the heart to relax, or open up.
Since the heart is just one large muscle, you can conclude that calcium and magnesium might work their ways on ALL the muscles in the body, and you’d be right.
When autopsies are performed on people who’ve died of heart disease, invariably they find very low levels of magnesium in the tissues and in the blood. There is something important to be learned here.
Magnesium is what allows muscles to relax after they have tightened up -- the tightening being monitored by the calcium in the same area.
So, calcium allows muscles, including the heart, to contract, or tighten; magnesium allows muscles, including the heart, to relax or lengthen.
So, if you have an irregular heart beat, it might be just a simple deficiency in magnesium. Since we generally have plenty of calcium in the blood stream, the irregular heart beat is more likely to be caused by a lack of balance in the magnesium.
SO, in many cases all you have to do to reduce these irregular heart beats is to swallow a magnesium supplement.
In order for magnesium to be absorbed into the body, it has to be in a special form, but ask your health food store, or your nutritional advisor about "magnesium in an acidic base" and see what you can get.
Now, How About
Those Legs!
There is a much more obvious place that a magnesium shortage can affect you. Let me tell you a story.
I take my two dogs, old Chester and puppy Rajah, on a walk every morning. It’s slightly less than a mile along a road going through a park, to the top of the hill. The road is quite steep.
At my age and condition, it’s a considerable climb!
So, I had been climbing this hill every day for many weeks, and I would time myself, to see how long it took to get to the top.
It was taking me about 21 minutes, usually.
But, I’ll tell you, as many vitamins as I had been taking, for many years, I apparently had developed a magnesium shortage, and didn’t recognize the symptoms.
I was stopping, along the way, about five or six times, to rest for about a minute each time. I would get to a point where the calves of my legs were painful, from walking up the hill. I simply sat down to give my legs a rest.
I was even a bit worried that this symptom was a sign of lower blood circulation, and that would be terrible for a person who has been promoting and receiving chelation, both intravenous and oral, for many years.
So, I kept pushing, thinking also that it was just my lack of good condition that caused the sore muscles.
Then, a friend who knows about such things was talking to me, and mentioned this information about magnesium. My goodness!
I realized that my sore leg muscles were probably caused by a magnesium shortage, and immediately went out to buy a can of powdered magnesium. I took a dose that day, and the next morning, just before going up the hill, I drank another cup (magnesium mixed with water).
I couldn’t believe it!
I got to the top of the hill in 15 minutes, not 21, and I didn’t have to stop anywhere along the way.
My legs didn’t get sore and painful.
I was huffing and puffing, a bit, just like always, but I wasn’t in pain.
I simply saved the time I had spent sitting down, and didn’t walk any faster. But, I cut out about five minutes of sitting, and got to the top five minutes faster.
I take extra magnesium every day now! But, if you take too much you’ll have diarrhea.
What Depletes
Magnesium?
Drinking Coca Cola.
Water pills given to people when they have heart problems.
There are dozens of studies which show that people who have heart attacks have lower than normal amounts of magnesium in their bodies. Just taking extra magnesium should greatly reduce your risk of sudden death from heart attack.
Summary
More than any other formula of vitamins, the oral chelation combination, containing cysteine and all the other 40+ ingredients listed in the Appendix, is the way to heart health.
Sometimes vitamin companies will try to make their product less expensive, so beware those formulas which cut back on some of the expensive ingredients. Cysteine, for instance, is far, far more expensive than Vitamin C. You could get the oral chelation formula with a larger amount of Vitamin C, and a smaller amount of Cysteine, and it might look good. But, when it comes to the results you want and need, the type described in this Book, don’t fool around with cheap substitutes.

Chapter Thirteen:
Other Remedies
I don’t doubt the health value of basic changes in your life style.
The next Section describes how a change in the amount of water you drink can make a vast improvement in your heart health.
The oral chelation, or the intravenous chelation already described are well-proven. Water, as a therapy, has certainly had very little publicity.
There is a wealth of information about the value to your heart health of taking large doses of Vitamin E.
That story is well told by Dr. Wilfrid E. Shute, in his book, Vitamin E Book. See the bibliography on page *.
In this Chapter, however, I want to present a method of improving the health of your heart that is well known within that secret community of cardiologists, but never discussed with a patient.
I’ve written about how corrupt the bypass surgery procedure is. You can see that it would be difficult to test this procedure in a way that the doctor performing the operation didn’t know whether the surgery was performed or not.
Of course not!
Scientists are fond of telling you how important it is to do something called a double blind study.
A double blind study is designed so that neither the patient nor the physician administering the treatment knows which patients are getting the real treatment and which are getting the "no treatment."
The easiest example is for a drug of some sort that can be put up in special tablets. The real drug is put in certain tablets, carefully kept in a container marked "real drug." The "non drug", called a placebo, is put in the same type of tablet, but carefully kept in a different container, marked placebo.
There is one person who sets up the test and he is the only one who knows which tablet is which. Let’s call him the In Charge.
He gets a list of names of the patients who are in the test. He divides them up into two groups, trying to make each group comparable on some basis -- age, degree of sickness, or whatever.
Each of these patients, presumably, has some particular doctor who is in charge of treating that patient.
The In Charge gives each doctor bottles of tablets, marked with the name of the patient to get the tablets in that bottle. Only the In Charge knows which patient is getting the real drug and which is getting the placebo. The physician treating any particular patient would not know, nor would the patient, whether that patient is getting the real drug or the placebo.
As the test is going along, the In Charge is interested in reports on the results of various tests. He wants to see if the patients receiving the real drug respond favorably, or not, to the drug.
These double blind studies are used because experience has shown that about 25% of the people will get better when they get a pill, whether the pill contains a real drug or not. In other words, the mental effect, or the non-material cause of wellness is so common that it is impossible to test a drug by just giving it to the patient. When you do that, you can expect a large percentage (25% or so) will get better no matter what you do.
In order to take this factor into account, these tests give placebos to some and real drugs to others.
Generally even some of those who get the placebos will have an improvement in their health. So, if the group with the placebos has a 25% improvement rate and the group with the drugs also had only a 25% improvement rate, then you’d have to conclude that the drug did no good -- just as many people got better without the drug as with it.
It also turns out that you can take a group, give them a "non drug" and 25% will get better, but if you take another group and give them nothing, none of them will get better.
In other words, man’s spiritual and mental ability to heal himself is very real, hard for doctors to measure, but real enough that it has to be taken into account in any test of some drug or medical procedure.
You might also observe that 25% of the group that did NOT get the drug got better and that only 5% of the group that got the drug got better. You could probably conclude that the drug was actually harmful since you could do better with a "non drug" than with the real thing.
That’s a double blind study. It’s called double blind because:
The patient doesn’t know whether he is getting the drug or not, and therefore his mind presumably can’t influence the outcome.
The attending physician, also, doesn’t know which of his patients, if any, are getting the drug, so he can’t hint to the patient. (It has been shown, too, that even if only the doctor knows his patient is getting a drug, and doesn’t tell the patient, nonetheless the patient can get better because of the spiritual or mental powers of the doctor!)
So, double blind studies are commonly demanded of any new drug, or procedure, before logical doctors and scientists will place any credibility in the drug or procedure. It is not unusual for reputable medical journals to demand of any author that he demonstrate that his claims for the value of some drug or procedure be backed up by a double blind study.
These double blind studies have the further advantage that an objective stranger can conduct the same test and should be able to get the same results as some original researcher.
When the medical procedure is something like bypass surgery it is obvious that it would be impossible for the surgery to be performed without the surgeon knowing about it. So, it is inherently impossible for a double blind study to be done for bypass surgery.

It would be possible, however, for a single-blind study to be done for the bypass procedure. A single-blind study would mean that the surgeon knows whether or not some patient got the surgery, but the patient would not know.
This would be quite a trick, wouldn’t it! The patient would have to agree that he can go under anesthesia, that the doctor would make some serious cuts into his chest, but wouldn’t actually do the bypass part of the surgery. Then, the surgeon would take other patients, do the same surgery, but in these cases he would complete the bypass part of the surgery.
When those patients awakened after surgery, they would all have the same scar across their chest and would all have about the same amount of weakness and pain. But, some (known only to the doctor) would have had the actual bypass surgery and others would have had only the fake surgery.
That would be a single blind study of that particular medical procedure.
You’d think that with all the many billions of dollars being spent on bypass surgery, and the terrific importance placed on this treatment, that someone, somewhere, sometime, would have conducted at least a single blind study of the procedure.
The surgeons are obviously afraid of doing this single blind study because they know what the results would be.
Believe me, there is no more mentally sick person than a bypass surgeon. He knows, in his heart, but often won’t even admit to his wife or priest, that the surgery he performs is a fraud. He lives with that lie.
See Chapter Nine, about the fraud in bypass surgery.
There Has Been A Single Blind Study
There have been other surgical procedures in the past -- before bypass surgery got so popular. One of these procedures was subjected to a single blind test. The results were so devastating that the procedure was stopped everywhere and no one even wants to talk about it anymore.
It’s hard to find references to this because these surgeons are trying hard to hide their crimes.
Years ago there was a theory that the heart beat because of some electrical impulse going to the heart. This theory held that if the electrical message got screwed up, the heart might stop. This theory held that if you could only give the heart some sort of a shock, or irritation, it would start going again, and after that the message system would continue to work correctly.
According to this theory, if someone whose heart had stopped could be cut open quickly enough, and some irritation caused to his heart, that would cause the heart to beat more regularly.
Does this begin to sound far-fetched?
Well, that is what they did.
These brave surgeons would cut open someone’s chest, expose the heart and rub it with sandpaper, or sprinkle talcum powder on it.
The idea was to irritate the heart and make it start beating properly.
This was the recommended method of heart surgery prior to 1950, believe it or not.
Now, some brave researcher decided to open up a few chest cavities, expose the heart, sprinkle talcum powder on some hearts but not on others.
The doctor would know which patient got "the treatment," but the secret was to be kept from the patient. The laws about such tests are now so strict that this would not be allowed today.
Yes, it was done, and yes, as you guessed, there was no difference between the results. If the heart got irritated, or if the heart didn’t get irritated, there was no difference. It didn’t look like this surgery had any value at all.
It was very quietly dropped.
You think I jest!
Read a report, by Claude S. Beck, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, in 1958. In that report Dr. Beck described how 97 percent of the people he operated on, using asbestos to rub against the exposed heart, experienced relief of angina pains.
Another weird surgical procedure involved something invented by Dr. Arthur M. Vineberg. This fraudulent procedure was in full use, on hundreds of patients, for many years. In fact, by 1972 this procedure had been in increasing use for 27 years without any objective test of whether or not it worked.
This procedure involved carving a tunnel through the heart muscle. One of the unused mammary arteries was then pushed into the tunnel and sewn into place. This brought extra blood to the heart, they thought.
The asbestos and mammary artery procedures were just about to be tested in 1972, at the Veterans Administration hospitals when the test was canceled because a brand new procedure had surfaced and seemed to show amazing results.
The new procedure was what we now call bypass surgery.
Neither asbestos, sewn mammary arteries nor bypass surgery has even been tested scientifically and none of them show any real evidence of increasing the length of life of the patient. None!
Many other authors have revealed the fraud behind heart surgery, and the lack of objective tests of any of the many weird techniques.
Yet, there is one method of treating heart patients where a double blind study was done, and where the results showed that the group which got the special new procedure had significant improvement in health and heart condition compared with the group that didn’t get the treatment.
The ONLY
Double Blind Study
In Non-Drug Treatment
Remember that a double blind study means that neither the patient nor the attending physician knows which patient is getting the special treatment.
This test was not widely reported in the medical journals but most heart specialists will admit they know about it when you remind them with some details, but none of them think the new special treatment is valid.
In this case the In Charge of the experiment, Randolph C. Byrd, M.D., took the entire population of a coronary intensive care unit at the San Francisco General Hospital -- all the 450 patients who happened to enter into that unit, during the period from August 1982 to May 1983. Each patient in that unit was told about the treatment. Fifty seven declined to be a part of the test. That left 393 patients who signed consent forms to be included for the test.
Remember, about half of those patients would get the treatment and the other half would not. Those who agreed to be in the test did not know which group they would be in.
Some of these patients were just arriving, in some cases scheduled to receive bypass surgery. Some were recovering patients -- in some cases just having had bypass surgery. There were a wide variety of different conditions in this group of patients.
The In Charge divided the group into two parts so that each group would have, as much as was possible, a similar number of patients with the same conditions.
In fact, out of 393 patients, 109 had been admitted with severe heart attacks and these were evenly split between the group getting the special treatment and the control group which did not.
In this amazing test the physician in charge of each patient had no idea of whether or not his patient was getting the special treatment. In fact, each patient continued along whatever course of treatment had been originally scheduled for him -- with no knowledge that he was going to get, or not get, a special treatment in addition to the already scheduled treatment.
Dr. Byrd never personally met any of the patients.
You understand the simplicity of this test?
Joe was in the intensive care unit, after a heart attack. He was scheduled to get bypass surgery and he got it. At no time did he know whether or not he also received some special treatment, nor did his doctor know.
The results were startling!
The group which got the special treatment had a statistically significant improvement in their recovery rates and over all health indicators compared with the group which did not get the special treatment.
This special treatment was provided at a basic cost of zero. In other words, the only double blind study ever done on heart patients in intensive care units, showed a very good improvement from the treatment, but you have never heard about it and you will never hear about it anywhere else except in this Book.
Wouldn’t you think that a test with such results would be repeated over and over again, to make sure that the results were valid!
Wouldn’t you think that the big hospitals, and the big drug companies, and the AMA would all clamor to find out more about this treatment -- perhaps start teaching other doctors about it?
I owe this story to my good friend, Dr. Robert Mendelsohn when he was a guest on my radio talk show. He had a wonderful way of stringing out a story, just as I have above. Since then, of course, I’ve obtained the entire scientific report.
What was this treatment?
Well, the In Charge took the name and some simple symptoms for each of the patients who were to get the special treatment. He gave these names and information to several individuals located in various cities around the United States.
The job of these individuals was to pray for the patient whose name they received.
The In Charge did not tell them HOW to pray, or when, or anything else. He picked people who believed in prayer and were willing to pray for these patients who they had never met. They were supposed to pray at least every day for the patient they got. Each patient got at least three different persons saying prayers and not more than seven persons.
Dr. Byrd picked persons to pray on the basis of their being Born Again Christians with an active Christian life as manifested by daily devotional prayer and active Christian fellowship with a local church. Members of several Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church were represented among the intercessors.
Those patients for whom prayers were said did better, by quite a bit, than the patients for whom no prayers were said.
That’s all. Very simple! Unbelievable.
You’d think that this research report would have been broadcast in every newspaper, and then in every church. It was viewed as a curiosity.
There were actually critical reviews of the test -- criticisms on the basis that there was no control over the praying method and that such techniques lacked scientific basis.
Figure 24 Monks Better Than Medical Doctors?
So much for God in the halls of medicine!
These may seem like a humorous story, but consider how serious it is.
I’ve reported above about the placebo effect.
Invariably when patients are given some sugar pill, and told that it is effective in curing their problems, about 25% of them will get better. That is the power of the spirit and mind. Doctors are frightened to death of this because they can’t relate to it. Playing god, themselves, they are not usually ready to acknowledge that there might be a real God, and that real spiritual healing can actually take place.
Remember, the patients in this test did NOT know, for sure, whether they were being prayed for or not. It is possible that ALL of the patients did better than they would have otherwise because ALL of them knew that there was some chance, at least, that someone was praying for them!
Would you like someone to be praying for you when you next visit a doctor?
It would be a lot more effective than bypass surgery or Mevacor!
Bypass surgery has a rate of improvement, too, compared to patients who don’t get it. The most famous study of this type was done at thirteen different Veterans Administration hospitals. The study was reported in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine in September, 1977.
A total of 596 patients were included in the study. Ninety-four percent had angina pains and two thirds had had heart attacks. These were serious problem patients! Everyone of these patients would normally have received bypass surgery -- that’s how they were diagnosed.
As in any good study, the patients were divided into two groups, taking into account all the differences in age, medical condition, etc.
This was a very courageous test because the doctors in charge had all agreed to give bypass surgery to HALF of the patients, and NO BYPASS surgery to the other half.
Right away you can see that this is not a blind study at all. The patients, and their doctors, certainly knew which group they were in. But, with this type of test, that’s the best they could do.
You’d have to wonder at the half who agreed to forego bypass surgery. Were they more courageous, and therefore more likely to do well without surgery? That was one of the criticisms of the study when it was reported.
One group got bypass surgery. The other group was treated with drugs only -- mostly nitroglycerin tablets.
What do you suppose?
Could bypass surgery show that it had made a statistically significant improvement in the lives of the patients who got it. After all, prayer had been shown to be effective -- even meeting the fancy test called "statistically significant."
You can guess the results!
The study followed these patients over a period of many years. The basic test was whether the person died or not, and then what further heart complications they had.
Of those who received bypass surgery, 86 percent were still alive after two years.
Of those who did NOT receive bypass surgery, 87 percent were still alive after two years.
The study followed these patients for many years. Generally, even after more than ten years, it proves out that prayer is far better than bypass surgery and receiving NO surgery is just as good as receiving a bypass surgery.
Despite this devastating report, in a respected Journal, the number of bypass surgeries grew rapidly.
If you quote the above story to your cardiologist he will get very angry and spout out all sorts of errors in the study. But, his anger simply betrays his hidden guilt. He knows that the people he refers for heart surgery would do just as well without surgery. He knows that if he would simply send the patient to a church, the patient would do better.
He, that cardiologist, is a very sick man -- spiritually. He, who plays God, and speaks lies with that authority, is worse than Satin.
