“Bypassing Bypass: The New Technique of Chelation Therapy” is a book written by Dr. Elmer Cranton, a physician who was a proponent of alternative medicine and holistic approaches to health. Published in 1981, the book explores the potential benefits of chelation therapy as an alternative treatment for cardiovascular disease.
Chelation therapy involves the use of chelating agents, substances that bind to heavy metals and minerals in the bloodstream, to remove them from the body. While chelation therapy is commonly used to treat heavy metal poisoning, proponents like Dr. Cranton suggest that it may also be effective in treating other conditions, including atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and cardiovascular disease.
In “Bypassing Bypass,” Dr. Cranton presents the theory that atherosclerosis is caused by the buildup of heavy metals and minerals in the arteries, which can be removed through chelation therapy. He argues that chelation therapy can improve circulation, reduce plaque buildup, and potentially prevent the need for invasive procedures such as bypass surgery.
The book discusses the history of chelation therapy, its mechanisms of action, and the results of clinical studies supporting its use. Dr. Cranton also shares case studies and testimonials from patients who have undergone chelation therapy with positive outcomes.
“Bypassing Bypass” sparked considerable debate within the medical community, with some practitioners questioning the scientific validity and safety of chelation therapy for cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the book remains influential among proponents of alternative medicine and those interested in exploring non-traditional approaches to health and wellness.
