Symptom Free and Drug Free Without Bypass Surgery

Today, Leonard is a happy, healthy man. However, just three months ago he was decidedly unhappy and very ill. He had diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, and was taking six prescription medications. After a single episode of mild chest pain, he underwent an angiogram and was strongly recommended to have bypass surgery. He was told that without it he would surely die.

This was the last straw. Leonard came to the Whitaker Wellness Institute for a second opinion—preferably one that didn't require cutting open his chest. That's exactly what he got, and guess what? It worked just fine.

Using improved nutrition, exercise, targeted nutritional supplements, and noninvasive therapies such as EECP and chelation therapy, Leonard now has normal blood pressure and blood sugar levels, his chest pain is gone, he is exercising almost daily on a treadmill, and he is off every one of his drugs. He is so thrilled with his progress that he tells his story to complete strangers in the checkout line of the grocery store.

Leonard's results are not a fluke. We see similar outcomes all the time. This is because we provide our patients with a health-promoting program that addresses the underlying causes of their problems, rather than just masking symptoms. Therefore, they get better and better as time goes on. Lock yourself into the conventional approach and you can expect to gradually get worse. Leonard would surely have had bypass surgery had he not broken free. Today, without the "urgent" treatment his doctors recommended, Leonard is symptom free and drug free.
