Hank's Heart Problems
Age 62

About 12 months ago I, the health nut, fresh fruit, veggies and fish only guy was exercising on my Nordic track and my left arm began to tingle. Minutes later my left chest began to feel funny too. I tried to work through it, but finally had to sit down for  5 min. In total denial, I got back on and finished my workout.

For the next ten days I found that something really was going on, and my former endurance had disappeared virtually overnight. I finally gave in (you understand I am supposed to be really healthy) and saw a doctor who threw me right on the couch did a resting EGT and a treadmill stress test. My predicted maximum heart rate was 158 and at the point of exhaustion on the treadmill my old heart reached 157. (I was hurting).

It turned out that I had a left bundle block (part of my heart's control system was not functioning) and after a second (nuclear) test, the doctors determined that I had a constricted artery. The chief surgeon told me that it was a simple procedure to run a camera up there and if they found what they suspected then they would install a metal stint. (By the way, "Heart Scans", "Virtual Colonoscopy" and "Whole Body Scans" are appearing everywhere. Know you that one whole body scan may be equivalent to the radiation received during 900 chest X-rays. Radiation damages cellular DNA, thereby increasing the risk of cancer and premature aging.)

Now this surgeon was really knowledgeable, obviously competent, and even my brother (the doctor) who was with me at the time was impressed with his salesmanship and the amount of time he spent with us..(1.5 hours). He wanted to start cutting ASAP, and hinted at all sorts of dire consequences if I waited.

Well long story short, I told him that I wanted to think out my options and asked if he had any opinion on Chelation therapy. Well of course he did, and "besides the fact that Chelation Therapy doesn't work it makes its practitioners rich". I later found out that his fee for the 40 minute procedure he recommended was $4,000+, not a bad hourly rate either.

Before I left I was given a stern lecture on how to conduct my life from now on, and that I must take 1 aspirin every day. Evidently hospitals don't understand the side-effects of aspirin, or they feel the risk (to the patent) is worth it. (I didn't follow that advice)

I soon discovered that all of my male relatives on my mother's side had died of heart attacks, so it was as they say "genetic" in my family. I long ago came to the conclusion that many "genetic" conditions occur in families because of the food they eat generation after generation. Well my present menu is not what I was raised on, you can bet on that.

Despite the anxious pleadings of my brother the doctor, I  investigated every option I could find. Two months later, Chelation therapy seemed the best option, but further research led me to the website of NanobacLabs in Tampa, Florida. Their worldwide research (soon to be released in a large way) has shown that all pathological calcification in mammals and humans is secondary to an infection by a novel bacteria called Nanobacterium sanguineum. These Nanobacteria secrete a calcium biofilm around themselves that hardens, allowing these nano-sized bacteria to go into a semi-dormant state inside a calcium "shell". Our bodies "see" these calcified nanobacteria as nothing more than plain old calcium that we need in every cell of our bodies. Therefore, the nanobacteria are free to grow upon themselves in the calcified state. These calcified "clusters" of nanobacteria become the calcification in coronary arteries (and other arteries & veins), the calcification in the lenses of our eyes (cataracts), the calcification in our joints (arthritis), the calcification in our kidneys (kidney stones and PKD)and as sites for chronic inflammation.

NanobacLabs currently has the only treatment for these nanobacteria..... NanobacTX. NanobacTX is currently being PRESCRIBED (yes, it is a prescription only) by over 300 family practice physicians and cardiologists. It has been shown to eradicate the nanobacteria and their calcification. When looking at Coronary artery disease, NanobacTX has been shown to decrease coronary artery calcification by 58.5% after 3 months treatment with NanobacTX. Visit the website as soon as possible: www.nanobaclabs.com  

 Most of the Chelation therapy practitioners do not really know what their therapy does on a microbiological level. This is not just a program that gets EDTA into you non-intravenously, It also kills the nanobacteria that the EDTA loosens before it can attach somewhere else. This is why even the best Chelation therapies work for only a percentage of the people who try it. They don't do it often enough or consistently enough so the little guys grow back.

3 months later I seemed to be as good as new. I could maintain my maximum heart rate for 20 minutes with no pain or ill effects and I had no angina, no ill effects. 

One year later I did another stress test (the medical technician was aghast that I would question and then go against established medical opinion), and at the conclusion of the test, with great reluctance, my doctor said "Well it looks like your heart is OK now"

I just ran for an hour today, Average Heart rate between140 and 155, no problems. On Sunday I walked / ran 8 miles in under 2 hours. (Would have done better, but my soft feet need toughening first.)  I look good and feel great. (I do wear a Polar Heart Monitor and a cell phone when I exercise.)

UPDATE: 2/20/02

Lately I have been couch-potatoing it, sitting in front of my computer, doing paperwork and making phone calls. So I figured I should pay closer attention to my heart, and decided to get a top-of-the-line POLAR S-710 heart monitor in preparation for a cycling trip this summer: (Ride Wisconsin). In testing the S-710, I climbed to the 10,000' gondola station @ Snowbird UT on snowshoes,  up the black diamond slopes and the last half hour averaged 155 bpm with 160 bpm as my top.

Click here to see a typical chart from the S-710 on a portion of a bicycle trip I took.

Two weeks later I climbed to MID-VAIL Ski Area Lodge, again up the black diamond slopes and on the first pitch topped out at 170 bpm. (Part of that may have been fear, it was damn steep) and I didn't want to slide headfirst all the way back down the mountain in front of all those skiers waiting for the lift..  Again, no pain, no angina.
My sleeping heart rate (last night) was 61.

UPDATE 05/05/02

OASIS just came out with a clinically supervised, double-blind study on their new weight loss / energy program that averaged 8.1 pounds in 90 days. Naturally I enrolled and coincidentally started endurance bicycle training with my wife. On the second day we tackled Lee Hill which seems to go on forever, getting steeper as you near the top. My heart rate climbed slowly and steadily until I was in granny-gear making about a mile an hour (I did pass an overweight lady who was walking her bike).
When my heart rate hit 171 it seemed to top out there, and I maintained over 169 for the next ten or what only seemed like 20 minutes with no pain, angina, dizziness, etc. By the way I have lost 6.5 pounds in 2 weeks so far. It's a whole lot easier to get into my pants now! (New total weight loss is 18 pounds... pants are falling off me.)

Needless to say I am not recommending that you or anyone else stress themselves this hard. Thanks to my nutritional supplements and the anti-aging program that I am on, my measured biological age is now below 30 years old, so as an engineer I am testing it. If you are a doctor reading this and want to run a stress test on me (at your cost) I am willing.

I relate my experience to illustrate that even the best doctors don't know everything, and are blinded by what they were taught in school, and by today's medical propaganda put out by the drug companies.. Invasive surgery should be the very last resort, and drugs are only slightly better. Unless you need trauma care, take the time to investigate your options. Don't be rushed into anything. Talk to your pastor or minister, they see sick people for a living, ask if they have any experience in people with your problem. Seek out the horror stories, get on the internet and search out anything you can. This is your body. Don't let anyone "practice" on you if there is anything you can do for yourself first. If you really want to believe everything your doctor tells you, (and he probably believes almost everything he tells you), read a little about doctoring.

And lest you think I am totally against doctors, and they against me, I get E-Mail from enlightened doctors encouraging me to keep up the good work  They have their place, (trauma and disease) and you have yours (health care). You do your job and you won't be on a first name basis with any doctor.

End Note on doctors:
Some doctors are coming around, and admitting that nutrition and exercise play a part in overall health. Unfortunately they are the exception, and if their patients actually pay attention to them, the doctors will be out of work. Sadly, there is little chance that the medical profession will lack patients...except perhaps those like you, who read and heed these pages!
