“After two separate By-Pass surgeries and ten coronary Stents, procedures spanning approximately 12 years I decided to try the Chelation Therapy. Prior to starting the procedures at Preventive Medicine, I was having severe and chronic chest pains all day long daily spanning months that my doctors could not identify. I had everything from angiograms (many), EKG’s, various types of stress test, CT’s, MRI’s and who knows what else. Over the past 15 years, in spite of all the maladies, I had become an avid Ultra-Marathon cyclist with national standing. But with this new pain syndrome I could not concentrate on anything in my personal life. After 5 or 6 Chelation sessions I began to notice a profound reduction with my pain issues. I felt like my general health was changing and the daily pain was dissipating. Within a month I developed an interest in my health conditioning and with my chest pains dwindling I had the capacity to be able to cycle again.
It was amazing the difference I felt now that I was taking Chelation twice a week. After a few months I’ve been able to reduce the Chelation sessions to once every two weeks. I can also tell you that I’ve since been able to train for and have already competed in long distance bicycle events this spring. I’m currently averaging 300+ miles a week in training and have already completed in a 12 hour endurance race (team relay-First place all age groups) completing 261 miles in 12 hours with an average of 22 mph. I am now pain free, even under racing stresses. I have been able to achieve a maximum heart rate (171 bpm) during these events with absolutely no repercussions. At 60 years young, I feel Chelation has given my life back to me and want to thank Dr. Rathod for the wonderful care that she and her staff gives to all her patients.“

“My cardiologist didn’t seem to have much hope for me. He said, “You’re going to need help from above.” I came to see Dr. Rathod, she said that she could help me. At this time I was diagnosed with heart failure. I gasped for air after every third word. I didn’t have the energy to sit up in bed, let alone walk. I was on temporary disability from work. Thanks to Dr. Rathod and her compassionate staff I was outside shoveling snow after Chelation treatment number 12. My chest no longer ached, I’m no longer out of breath and I’m a 50-year-old man that feels like a 20 year old. I’m focused on living not dying.”

“I feel that my circulation is better.” My hands used to be cold, now they are always warm. The same is true of my feet. The trips over here have been long, but the treatment I receive from the staff is very courteous and thoughtful.”

“I first met with Dr. Rathod in January of 2005. Prior to that time I had gone through 11 heart catheterizations, 9 of which they also did angioplasty and 8 stints. In addition I had a quadruple bypass, and could feel the effects of my arteries clogging up again, which was leading to another angioplasty. At that time I was also considered diabetic and taking two types of insulin by injection three times a day. I was on alpha and beta-blockers, high blood pressure medicine, and my cardiologist wanted to put me on another drug for my cholesterol. I had experienced problems previously with Lipitor and other cholesterol drugs. I was also popping nitroglycerin tablets when I would walk up stairs or exert myself physically.
I began Chelation treatments in February of 05, and after the first two treatments I have never used Nitro again. Within two months I was off all medication except for an aspirin a day and the insulin. During this time Dr. Rathod recommended I take the supplement Choleast (Red Rice Yeast) for my cholesterol. Within two months my readings, which had been in the 200’s dropped to 127.
By September of 05 I no longer needed the injections of insulin. I was put on oral medication three times a day. My blood sugar readings were lower than they were when I was on insulin, but they still remained high in the 270 to 290 range. January of 06 another oral medication was added which helped bring the readings into the 240 range. Then February of 06 Dr. Rathod put me on a diet: The Fat Flush Plan, and within 17 days I was off all oral medication. Since then my blood sugar reading have been between 71 and 95. The two highest readings I’ve had were 107and 107. I have lost 26 pounds with only 3 or 4 more to go to reach my goal.
On my last visits with my primary physician and cardiologist I received excellent reports. My cardiologist who was against Chelation Therapy in the beginning is still having difficulty trying to figure out why my health has turned around. My internist is becoming a believer in this kind of therapy and has asked me to keep him updated on my progress.
I’m 65 but feel like I should be the “poster child” for Dr. Rathod and Preventive Medicine. I’ll be retiring this summer and will be doing so without the expense of all the medications I was taking, and with a much higher capacity for physical activity.
I expect to live much longer thanks to Dr. Rathod and her staff at Preventive Medicine.”

“After a second heart attack four months ago with an accompanying appeal to have a triple by-pass immediately, I rejected the bypass treatment to begin chelation. Angina symptoms have gradually dissipated and energy levels have increased- along with a greater sense of well-being. I am hopeful of bypassing bypass surgery.”

“Treatments have increased blood flow to legs and feet. (It has) relieved occasional angina pains, and cramps in low extremities. Discoloration on toes of right foot has gone away.”

“I had a TIA attack. With the vitamins and chelation it has kept me from having these attacks. I think is has kept me from being old. I’m able to keep up as usual with my activities. I’m very happy with the way things are going and hope to live a lot more years and do the things I like. I don’t want to be handicapped by having a stroke.”

“My circulation is better. I can now walk without the pain that I experienced before the treatments.”

“I have been involved with contemporary medicine (preventative medicine) for almost 30 years using primarily food supplements. I felt now it was time to use chelation therapy as a preventative measure even though I had no major physical problems. After approximately 40 treatments I always feel good, rarely ill and as one physician said I have a radiance or glow.”

“There has been a dramatic improvement in brain function- memory & thinking processes have improved significantly. Eyesight has improved- prescription for glasses have not changed in five years. Blood pressure is lower. Physical stamina has been maintained at a high level. (I) power walk 4 to 5 miles several times a week.”

“The benefits I receive from chelation are too numerous to mention, but some are: I can walk without pain and also run short jogs, and I feel much better. Before chelation I couldn’t walk across the room without pain. The complete health of my body is better.”

“I recently had a check-up with my cardiologist. They compared my echocardiogram (prior to Chelation) with a new one taken after 12 Chelation. My heart capacity went from 20% to 80%. They were astounded with my results. They adjusted my medications, (took me off Lipitor) and said there was no need for a defibulator. My sugar readings have not required me to take insulin before meals. This, in my opinion, is diet and chelation results because I still have trouble walking. More on my leg improvement later.”
