In a front-page article in the Los Angeles Times published two years ago, featured a comparative study of surgery vs. non-surgery for heart patients. The results of the study were shocking. Stating that the use of invasive surgery not only did NOT help patients, but increased the in-hospital death rate by 71%!
To determine the accuracy of the study, Dr. William Boden of the Veterans Affairs Upstate Health Care System in New York organized a 2 ½ year study of 920 patients who suffered a heart attack. Of the 920, 458 were treated with “conservative strategies.” The rest were treated with surgery. The results were astonishing, Twenty-one of the surgery patients died within 9 days. By the end of 2 ½ years, 80 of the surgery patients died compared to only 56 in the conservative group, an overall increased death rate of 36%!
The results were conclusive, surgery did nothing but increase the death rate – and conservative methods are better and less risky.
You need to know. . . The Vicious Truth About Bypass Surgery!
It’s a risky and painful experience you want to avoid at all cost!
Look at these shocking statistics:
• 250,000 people undergo bypass surgery every year at a cost of $25,000 to $40,000.
• No more than 21% of all bypass operations are considered effective. (That means about 197,000 people every year risk their lives for nothing.)
• Statistics show that 50% of bypassed arteries clog up again within 5 years. (By year seven, 80% are blocked again!)
• Women are 77% more likely to die from the surgery than men.
• 5% of patients who have bypass surgery died during the operation. (That’s 1 in 20 who don’t survive.)
• 5-10% of by-pass surgical cases suffer a heart attack following surgery. (Another 2% suffer from stroke.)
• Up to one third of by-pass patients suffer some from brain damage from surgery. (Up to 20% of patients suffer from depression for a year or longer after surgery.)
