Our Right to Cancer Drugs -- by Andrea Bennett -- An article everyone should read!

Chelate and live a healthy life - longer -- Speaking of our extremely wealthy heart doctors and their hidding the truth inorder to make more money. A heart bypass (first one) can cost as high as $60,000 and the solution if you live through the operation (10 to 12% don't) is to have a 2nd, etc. bypass; whereas, chelation can cure the cause for approximately $4,000. Certainly this small amount will not by the extra condos, boats, high power cars, etc for our phyicians. Please investigate chelation before you let a doctor cut off your leg due to poor ciculation, do a heart bypass or if you have had a stroke. Quality of life is very important to us seniors. -- John Fallgren hqusa@cencentric.net

Hello, - I am a 65-year old man, who has recently experienced/survived my first "Transient Ischemic Attack" that temporarily caused the loss of control of my right arm and the ability to speak coherently. The effect lasted about 15 minutes before I was back to normal. My doctor has prescribed medicine to thin my blood to prevent another T.I.A. or stroke. I would like to know if the area affected by a T.I.A., will be the most likely area that a stroke would effect, if I should have one. Anyone out there have any experience with this problem? Thanks.

Please post this: I am writing this letter on behalf of my parents who are 71. My mother is in critical condition in the hospital. She went into the hospital for a test...(she has had diabetes/heart problems for the past 8 years or so)..this test an anngeogram (not sure of spelling) was supposed to check the circulation in her leg. Well what happened was dye from the test shut her kidneys down. She lay in a lathargic state for almost 8 days before her heart gave out. It took them 25 minutes or so to revive her and because of that, she has brain damage and is on a respirator. If you are diabetic and/or have kidney problems, please note that this test can be dangerous. We were not aware of how dangerous this test was before my mother went in for it.
