The following is an excerpt from popular book The Chelation Way. Although given in layman’s terms, the descriptions are to the point. Twenty years have passed since the book was first published and further research has fine-tuned our knowledge, however nothing essential has been added to what is described here. Furthermore, today as back then, only chelation offers a complete way to neutralize the clogging. Any other means offer only partial and temporary relief. Otherwise, why would people need two, or three successive bypass surgeries, if the first one had removed the cause? Obviously, they need them because bypass surgeries do NOT remove the cause, only the symptoms that manifest in the different diseases of the arterial walls.As our readers educated in medicine would know and as Dr. Walker writes, “Diseases of the arterial walls are classified into four distinct types: atherosclerosis, Moenckenberg’s medial arteriosclerosis, hypertensive arteriosclerosis, and arteriolar sclerosis.
Atherosclerosis affects the internal wall of an artery. The central channel of the artery through which blood flows (the lumen) gets narrower until there is final and complete occlusion.
Moenckenberg’s medial arteriosclerosis involves the arteries in the outer reaches of the body (the peripheral arteries), especially in the legs of middle-aged and older people. They form “pipestream arteries” from the deposition of calcium in their middle (medial) lining, but no disease encroachment occurs on the central tunnel through which blood flows.
Hypertensive arteriosclerosis is a progressive increase in muscle and elastic tissue of the arterial walls, resulting from chronic high-blood pressure. In long-standing hypertension, elastic tissue forms numerous concentric layers on the inner arterial wall (the intima) and there is replacement of muscle tissue by connective tissue fibers. Degenerative thickening takes place. Such changes can develop with increasing age in the absence of hypertension and may then be referred to as senile arteriosclerosis. This is one of they underlying pathologies of senility.
Arteriolar sclerosis is a narrowing or closing of the tiniest of arteries that enter into the capillary network of the vascular tree.”
As we all know and as Dr. Walker points out in his book of these four types of pathologies, “Atherosclerosis is the artery and heart disease that is the most common and takes the largest number of lives. Every second person, who dies in the United States (according to 1970s and 80s statistical data) each year has atherosclerosis as his or her cause of death. The disease slowly deteriorates the blood vessels throughout the entire arterial tree. Often its climax is a sudden and unexpected stroke or heart attack, but symptoms and signs will have appeared in other organs or regions of the body, which indicate that arteries in those locations are affected.”
When looking for a solution to deal with these diseases it is helpful to be clear about their specific way of manifesting in the body, especially if we were to contemplate a solution that can simultaneously address them all – even in their beginning stages, even before they have become a full-fledged pathology. In terms of life-style adjustments, there are many ways (diet, exercise, stress reduction and so forth), and they are all necessary and effective. In terms of western allopathic medical treatments, however, there is only one way that works: Chelation.
Bypass surgery does not address the problem at the causal level.
In any of the many thousands of coronary artery bypass operations that are performed worldwide every day, the surgeon does not do much to overcome the patient’s atherosclerosis. The only thing the surgeon does is bypassing approximately three inches of coronary artery clogged by atherosclerotic plaque. A few years later, that same bypass can be clogged up altogether, or another coronary artery can become blocked.
Whereas chelation does address the root cause. It actually treats the disease, not the symptoms. In his book, Dr. Walker comes to the same conclusion although he states it in a different way.
