Dear All,

This is a new theory that has come to my knowledge very recently, and I thought that I should also share it with all of you.

A few days ago, my friend's father-in-law was admitted to a nursing home due to severe chest pain. He had a heart attack in 1997 and was undergoing normal treatment. Due to sudden pain just 15 days ago, we once again admitted him to a private nursing home in Kandiwali, Mumbai.

The doctors later suggested angiography, which we conducted at Hinduja Hospital. The reports revealed multiple blockages, and the doctor informed us that he cannot undergo angioplasty due to several blockages but recommended "Bypass Surgery." We brought him home that same evening as the doctor mentioned his weak heart condition, and the bypass could only be performed after 15-20 days.

In the meantime, while discussing this issue with our relatives and friends, we received new information from one of our family friends. There is a new therapy in the market known as Chelation Therapy or Calation Therapy. According to this therapy, any patient who needs a bypass may not necessarily have to undergo the procedure. The patient is given approximately 18 bottles of blood with some medications injected along with it. The blood cleanses the system and removes all the blockages from the heart. The number of bottles required may increase based on the patient's age and health.

The cost of each blood bottle is approximately Rs. 2,500, and the treatment duration is around 1 month. There are only four doctors in India offering this treatment, one of them being Dr. Dhananjay Shah at Malad (Mumbai) and another in Karnataka. Dr. Shah has successfully treated patients who were advised bypass surgeries at renowned hospitals like Lilavati, Hinduja, and others, and they are now leading normal lives.

I am providing Dr. Dhananjay Shah's contact details for your information:

Dear All,

This is a new theory that has come to my knowledge very recently, and I thought that I should also share it with all of you.

A few days back, my friend's father-in-law was admitted to a nursing home due to severe chest pain. He had an attack in 1997 and was undergoing normal treatment. Due to sudden pain just 15 days back, we once again got him admitted to a private nursing home in Kandivali, Mumbai.

The doctors later suggested an Angiography. We conducted the Angiography at Hinduja Hospital and learned from the reports that he has multiple blockages. The doctor mentioned that he cannot undergo Angioplasty due to several blockages but suggested "By-Pass Surgery."

The same day evening, we brought him home since the doctor suggested that his heart is very weak and we can perform the bypass only after 15 - 20 days. In the meantime, while discussing this issue with our relatives and friends, we received new information from one of our family friends.

There is a new therapy in the market known as Chelation Therapy or Calation Therapy. According to this therapy, any patient who has to undergo bypass surgery need not undergo the same. The patient is given approximately 18 bottles of blood wherein some medicines are injected along with it.

The blood cleans the system and removes all the blockages from the heart. The number of bottles may increase depending upon the age factor and the health of the patient.

The cost of the blood per bottle would be approximately Rs. 2,500/-. The treatment takes about one month. There are only four doctors in India, and one of them is Dr. Shah at Malad (Mumbai) and another in Karnataka. He has a list of patients who had to undergo bypass from Lilavati, Hinduja, and other major hospitals, but after undergoing the above treatment, they are absolutely fine and leading a normal life.

I provide below the doctor's details for your information:

Chelation Therapy has been used widely across the globe. However, the support is not unanimous; a section of the medical fraternity disputes the claims. Attached is a compilation of information from websites. This is for sharing knowledge.

I am Dr. Sibia and have been practicing Chelation Therapy in Ludhiana since 1994 with good results. I was trained in the therapy at the Arterial Disease Clinic in the UK and was impressed by their results. There are over 2000 doctors practicing the therapy in the USA and many more in several other countries. I will say that Chelation therapy is a patient-proven treatment, but there are yet not adequate controlled trials for it to find a place in textbooks. It should be given a trial after properly informing the patients and with proper follow-up. - Dr. Sibia

It is indeed shocking that somebody can practice such quackery in modern Mumbai despite this therapy being disapproved by many countries.

Transfusing 18 bottles of blood can lead to disastrous consequences as it behaves like organ transplantation. It can also lead to renal failure and lung problems. The folly is that non-licensed practitioners practice allopathic medicine, which is legally non-pardonable. Can somebody who is not an MBBS at least infuse medicines using allopathic technology?

I believe the government should take necessary steps to prevent the abuse of unscientific medicine, take proper legal action, and crack down on such practitioners who fool themselves and others.

I ask the proponents of this therapy, do they have proof of people undergoing repeat angiograms to show the changes in their coronary arteries? If so, let them show the world the comparative angiograms. Drugs like statins can play a role in reversing the mechanical blocks, but for God's sake, have faith in your cardiologist and surgeon. They mean well for you, although there can always be exceptions. Remember, you can sell sour mangoes only once unless you want to make a chutney of your life.

Modern medicine has so many interventions that it sometimes frightens people, added to the cost of it. It makes people try alternative medicine. Alternative medicine can be accepted if it has scientific backing and proper clinical documentary proof endorsed by neutral parties. If there is proof, modern medicine will be more than willing to incorporate it. On the other hand, there should be concerted efforts to stop the commercialization of medicine, like selling soaps and shampoos.

I hope we can shed some light on the numerous superstitions that bind India. By stopping quackery, the commercialization of healthcare, pseudoscience, and false propaganda, we can build a better India, if not the whole world.

Our experience since 1994 with chelation therapy for ischemic heart disease, cerebral ischemia, and peripheral artery disease has been excellent. My wife's and my training in MBBS and MD caused our first reaction about Chelation Therapy in 1992-1993 to be a biased negative. One of the reasons that 'forced' me to practice Chelation therapy was when someone close to me had a coronary artery stent failure within just a couple of months. He wanted me to explore other options as he could not afford bypass surgery.

I took training and did his chelation therapy not expecting any benefit - but he made a marvelous recovery. One patient led to another. It took us three years to finally come to terms with our mental block and finally accept Chelation Therapy as an effective, safe, and economical treatment. With the experience of Chelation, we ventured into other non-invasive, non-surgical treatments, and today when anyone wants to explore non-surgical options for any ailment, they contact us. Anyone wanting information is welcome to contact us. We do wish that there is more research on this and other non-surgical treatments and invite like-minded medical and non-medical persons to support our efforts. - Dr. Sibia

Dear All,

I live in Los Angeles, CA. I am 76 years old and pretty healthy, with no heart, diabetes, or blood pressure issues.

First of all, for Chelation Therapy, no blood transfusion of any kind is required. It seems like someone has improvised the process in India. I have undergone several IV (Intravenous) EDTA Chelations to observe its effects. Subsequently, I published a small book on Kindle explaining the process, benefits, and more. If you search for "EDTA" on Amazon.com, you will find my publication. I have nothing to sell.

Additionally, there is an organization in the USA that trains and certifies doctors worldwide as Chelation Therapists. This organization, known as ACAM, publishes a list of certified doctors globally who adhere to the proper protocol.

If any of you are serious about this, please send me an email at pjan86@gmail.com, and I will provide all the information for FREE. There are a few ACAM-certified doctors in India, including some in Mumbai.

God Bless.

🇨🇭MUST CIRCULATE🇨🇭

Recently, one person was admitted to a nursing home at Dharwad, due to severe chest pain. He had an earlier attack in 2012 and was under treatment. The doctors now suggested Angiography.

Upon undergoing Angiography at multi speciality Hospital Doctors diagnosed multiple blockages for which Angioplasty was ruled out and instead, suggested 'Bypass Surgery'.

That evening, he was brought home as doctor suggested his heart being very weak, bypass could be performed only after 10 - 15 days.

Meanwhile, after discussing the matter with relatives and close friends, fresh information came from a family friend.

A new treatment known as-"Chelation Therapy" has been introduced into the Indian medical theatre.

With this therapy, a patient who has to undergo by-pass need not do so.

Instead, the patient is given about 30 bottles of IV fluids in which certain medicament are injected. The medicine cleans the system and removes all blockages from the heart and the arteries. The number of bottles given may increase depending upon the age-factor and health of the patient.
Cost per bottle may be around Rs.1,500/- .

Currently, only a few doctors in India specialise in this field

One of them is DR. C Shashikant (Dharwad)

He has a list of patients who had to undergo by-pass from major hospitals; but, instead after undergoing the new treatment, they are absolutely fine and are leading a normal life.
Doctor's details for your info are:

TACT TRIAL
MIAMI — The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT), a 10-year, $31-million study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is now published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and while the results have been reported extensively by heart wire and other media outlets, the decision to publish the trial was based on a comprehensive editorial assessment by the JAMA editors .
"Because articles published in journals like JAMA can influence the practice of medicine, this level of scrutiny of TACT reflects our commitment to fulfilling the responsibility to try to ensure that every article published in JAMA is valid and is reported accurately," write editor-in-chief Dr Howard Bauchner, executive editor Dr Phil Fontanarosa, and deputy editor Dr Robert Golub in a March 26, 2013 letter accompanying the published trial.

TACT, a positive, if perplexing, study, suggested that chelation therapy may modestly improve clinical outcomes in patients after an acute MI. Over a four-year follow-up, those who followed an arduous regimen involving up to 40 separate three-hour infusions of a standard chelation-therapy solution of multiple ingredients, compared with a placebo, showed an 18% drop in the trial's primary end point. Adverse effects were mostly minimal.

Against the odds, however, the trial was completed and presented at the American Heart Association 2012 Scientific Sessions in Los Angeles, CA. The hazard ratio for the primary composite end point for chelation therapy vs placebo, by intention to treat, was 0.82 (95% CI 0.69–0.99; p=0.035). There were no significant differences in the individual components of the primary end point, but all trended in favor of chelation therapy.
"But what is notable about this trial is the consistent directionality of the end points," said Topol in a video blog available on theheart.org. "There was an overall 18% reduction in a composite end point, which included death, heart attack, stroke, coronary revascularization, and hospitalization for angina, but each of these was reduced." Subgroup analyses also revealed that patients with diabetes and those with an anterior MI also appeared to benefit significantly from chelation therapy, said Topol.

I hope this will help some of you.

Also Dr. Mirchandani, some where in Punjab, India is one of the key pioneer of this Therapy in India.
I happen to have his book 300+ pages. The book is out of print, I think.
I will be glad to email anyone interested in ready this at no cost.
My eamil is : pjan86@gmail.com

Thanks.
Prem.

The point of posting this medical news item on an HR forum is not clear. Most of the members are HR qualified and cannot obviously comment on this article. Whether this therapy is good, safe, or to be avoided can be best decided by a medical professional. As far as ordinary people are concerned, the best way to avoid a heart attack is to stop smoking and eating red meat, do regular exercise, and have a healthy, fat-free diet. Have regular check-ups of BP. Learn to laugh away your stress and enjoy a stress-free and happy life. Half knowledge of medical topics is actually more dangerous than not knowing anything about medical topics.
