Do heart attack victims really need stents put in? And do any of the meds they put these people on afterwards actually benefit them? Or do they decrease lifespan also? The biggest study ever done on stents, it comes from the theory that we have these three coronary arteries and all the blood flow to our heart goes through those three arteries, which is wrong because at least 90% of the blood flow to our heart goes through small blood vessels or collateral vessels, which they conveniently don’t tell you about or draw in their drawings. So the theory is one or more of these arteries get blocked with plaque and the plaques inhibits the blood from going to the heart and then you put a stent in, which is a tube that keeps the artery open and then the blood can go back through there and then your problem is solved.

So in the biggest study that I know of that ever looked at that, it was in the Lancet around 2017 or 2018. For the first time they did something like 50 people who had chest pain and they put a stent in and 50 people who had equivalent amount of chest pain and put no stent in. And eight weeks later they had the same amount of symptoms, same prognosis, everything was the same and so they literally proved as the New York Times front page or I don’t know if it’s front page but the headlines of their article said stents proved useless.

So there’s approximately a 20 to 50 billion dollar a year industry putting stents in people and even though the research has never shown that they prolong life, prevent heart attacks, prevent hospitalizations or even now prevent or sort of cure or treat chest pain. So I cannot see any reason for putting stents in and then all the drugs that they use are basically to dilate the blood vessel or stop the cholesterol from depositing but again the problem as I outlined many times and in the heart book, we don’t have heart attacks because of blocked arteries. That is the main myth in this whole story.

The reason we get blocked arteries is that is a compensation mechanism or it’s a strategy of the body to shore up weak blood vessels so they don’t burst. [tr:trw].
