“I have had 2 coronary artery bypass operations and I started experiencing angina and shortness of breath to the point where just walking was very uncomfortable. After an angiogram I was told the only thing that would help me was another bypass but due to my age (79) and the fact that a third bypass was very, very risky, they would not recommend it. I must tell you after 5 treatments of EDTA Chelation and vitamins and minerals, I noticed an improvement in my well- being and a reduction in chest pains. Now after 40 plus treatments, my quality of life is such that I have resumed my normal lifestyle.” - D.M.

“I was resigned to the fact that I wouldn’t be around for Christmas (had three sessions of congestive heart failure in August.) Here I am ( Jan) some 26 treatments later, completely free of chest pain. My breathing has improved and leg cramps are diminishing. Every week walking 2-3 miles, 2-3 times a week.” - H. R. note – patient lived an another 6 years

“For 4 years I had stress tests that showed artery blockage and prevented me from getting life insurance. A thallium stress test confirmed the blockage. After 14 treatment, I had a stress test that showed no blockage. I have changed my life style, but I attribute the improvement to chelation therapy.” - J. T.

“Two of my three bypasses had failed and little more could be done for me as my heart was not strong enough to survive the rigors of a second bypass surgery. I have now had 34 Chelation therapy sessions. My office staff says my color has returned and I am more vital, alive, and able to do more then simply sit behind my desk all day. My podiatrist says that the pulse in my feet and toes is distinctly better. Chelation therapy and the vitamin ritual I was put on have changed my life and I am deeply and forever grateful.” - W. J.

“I have been free of angina pains and also free of breathing problems caused by asthma. I can walk up hills without being short of breath.” - G. R.

“At age 48, I noticed myself becoming short of breath. After undergoing various tests, it was determined that I had a clogged artery, which required angioplasty to open it back up. Two years later, I had noticed aching in my arms and neck and shoulders at which time in my life (50yr.), I decided to look for other therapies for help in curing heart disease. My search led me to the Barnes Wellness clinic where I had received 40-50 treatments of EDTA (Chelation therapy) which appeared to be helping. I had stopped treatments for 8 months, and noticed the symptoms coming back. This time my blood pressure had gone up to 160/100. Not good. Dr. Barnes sent me info regarding new treatments known as triple oxygen. After receiving the first treatment, my blood pressure started coming down and after the third treatment my blood pressure became normal and the other symptoms (aching arms, neck & shoulders) had left. I have also had a difficult time sleeping, but since the first treatment I have slept every night.” - P. L.

“I have macular degeneration both eyes and doctors told me there is no cure. Since I have been coming to Dr. Barnes my eye sight has improved 25%.” - C.C.

“I’m 68 years old and I’m supposed to be dead. I had an angiogram. Three major coronary vessels were 98% plugged with plaque, and one was 60% plugged! The heart surgeon wanted me to stay in the hospital and have immediate surgery. I refused the surgery. A few nights later, I began having sharp pains in what felt like my lung. It turned out to be a pulmonary embolism from the angiogram. The emergency room doctor mentioned the Dean Ornish Diet as a scientifically proven treatment for coronary artery disease. I then started the Dean Ornish Diet. I started receiving chelation therapy. I was beginning to feel better. I lost weight. My total cholesterol dropped to 117 - too low! Dr. Barnes took me off the Lipitor. I had a homocystine level done - it was 7.7. - the range is 6.1 - 17. That meant low risk for heart attack! I remain on the Ornish Diet. I feel good. I continue to receive preventive chelation infusions 3X per year. I no longer take the Norvasc. My blood pressure runs about 120/68 - 133/88. My weight is 182 lbs. I have no chest discomfort of any kind, even upon exertion. The symptoms are gone! I can do anything I want to do. During deer season this past year I walked up and down our hills with no problems! I can also see better and my aches and pains are less. My sex life has been reborn! We are so thankful that this could be done without major surgery.” - D. Y. 

“After being diagnosed with a chronic illness (chronic fatigue syndrome) my journey back to a functional level of health has lead me down many different paths. I would learn during this journey that many treatments that really help people heal would: 1. Not be accepted by the medical community unless they provided wealth to the pharmaceutical companies and 2. If they were not understood or out of the mainstream of medical thinking they would be dubbed quackery. Having a set back in my illness, I began IV therapies with Dr. Barnes. After several months, a slow upward progression took place, taking me back to a higher level of wellness. Today my energy level is back to where it was before my illness, my sleep is better than it has been in years. I would encourage you to take charge over your own health and well being.”

“I was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (generally considered incurable). There are two types, wet and dry. The wet type is rarer but far more serious, involving the bleeding of tiny blood vessels in the macular, the center of the retina of the eye. Mine was the wet type. By December I had received 3 laser treatments from my retinologist, and was loosing sight rapidly. Reading about occasional help from injections, I decided to try Chelation, with Dr. Barnes. At this writing, after several examinations by my retinologist, there has been no more loss of vision since by first Chelation treatment.” L.F.S.

“Chelation Therapy has done me great wonders. If it wasn’t for Chelation Therapy I probably would not be here today because what it did to help my heart condition.” R.A.J.

“I developed what I thought was an allergic reaction to ‘something’. I periodically coughed and experienced shortness of breath following the coughing spasms. This went on for a few weeks. I took allergy medicine and somewhat half-heartedly looked for the irritant. I went to my general practitioner who sent me to a cardiologist. Over the next four months, I saw one or the other doctor at least weekly. I had a battery of tests. I took approximately 10 different medications, wore a nitro patch, could eat almost nothing, lost over 30 pounds and developed panic attacks. I did not get better. There seemed to be no true diagnosis.. Cardio Myopathy…Mitral Valve Syndrome…Congestive Heart Failure…Cardiovascular Disease…all confusing to me and since I wasn’t getting better…unbelievably frustrating. My husband was doing basically all the housework. I tried to return to work..on two occasions but never made it past two hours. Eventually I went on disability. Walking from the couch to the table was an accomplishment. One day my husband came home with the name of a holistic physician, Dr. Robert Barnes. Holistic medicine was not something I had ever considered; however, when desperate, one agrees to almost anything. My husband called me at noon on the day following my first treatment. He could not believe his ears when I told him that I had showered, washed and dried my hair without resting several times. That had not happened in four months. One week later, the woman who could not go up and down one flight of stairs without resting 3 or 4 times, went on a tour of homes. Two months later, my physician could not believe that all my blood work came back “normal”, my pulse and blood pressure were also normal. I went for another Echo Cardiogram. The doctor couldn’t believe the results of the Echo...‘Heart Function,’ he stated, ‘normally does not return that miraculously!’ He went on to tell me that my heart function at the time of the previous Echo had been about 26%...now, it was almost fully restored.  I went back to work and have picked up my life where I left it. I go for treatments once per month now and still follow my daily vitamin/mineral regime. A Miracle? Perhaps…or another way to approach health!”  C.McC.

“I was diagnosed with macular degeneration – the dry kind in my left eye. I had regular eye examinations and I was referred to a retina specialist for the right eye. They discovered a hemorrhage and did a laser procedure to control the problem. In about 6 months, I was unable to read, write or drive. I went to another specialist for a second opinion and after extensive tests, both specialist agreed that there was nothing that could be done. I was told to go home and return in one year. I was told that I would be functional – in other words, could feed and dress myself. A friend told me about Dr. Barnes. I met with Dr. Barnes and he said he might be able to help but not to expect miracles. It took some time but my vision improved at every yearly exam. At my most recent exam, I was able to read the third line on the eye chart with my left eye and before starting with Dr. Barnes, I couldn’t see the chart. I can now do many tasks again that I couldn’t for a couple years.” C.C.

Approximately 3-4 years ago, I experienced 2 mini strokes (TIA’s). I was put on coumadin immediately, which I detested. I knew Chelation was the only way to treat my problem and in 2 weeks I no longer needed coumadin and the heart beat returned to normal. This illustrates the power of Chelation. My heartbeat is normal using the pulse test and a doctor’s stethoscope. Under extreme stress it will increase but returns to normal very soon. I urge everyone to consider Chelation for their health problems, and really many other problems. C.D

My first memory of Dr. Banes probably 6-7 years ago was initially my phone call to inquire about the nature of his healing as I had been told I had glaucoma and would go blind if I didn’t take eye drops which had severe side effects; such as pulmonary damage, drying up of mucous membranes and so many indicated that the warning circular unfolded from my hand to the floor .. I though “forget that!” Imagine my shock when the phone was answered by a gentleman with a wonderful kind, compassionate voice and he said he was Dr. Barnes. Imagine a doctor answering his own phone and actually listening and talking personally to you… never happened before or since.  After several treatments my eyes improved and my pressure has remained safe…although I am due to return to Dr. Barnes soon for maintenance (treatments). 
 My huband, Bob, worked with diesel fumes as a driver/trainer of bus drivers for 27 years. He was having difficulty breathing and stared Chelation about 2 years ago. After Dr. Barnes suggested we consult a “conventional” medical doctor, we ended up at Cleveland Clinic for heart valve replacement for a genetic defect – an aortic valve and rings for tricuspid and mitral valves. When they did pre-op tests, the doctors insisted on angiogram or they would refuse to do surgery. They said a 58 year old man – although in good health – would have clogged arteries and they would do bypass if needed while in there. Guess what? To their surprise, since they stated Chelation didn’t do any good – they found Bob’s arteries to be 100% clear! So, no bypass needed. They refused to acknowledge that Chelation had anything to do with it. Armed with holistic supplements and Chelation and Nutritional therapy 2 days before we went down (to Cleveland clinic), he came out of surgery and healed well fro 3 months. 
 After a trip to an “outstanding” cardiologist, we were told about 6 months after surgery that Bob’s heart was functioning at 25% (60% would be good) – so after freaking out and calling Dr. Barnes, who said bob would be throwing bales of hay by June. This was March 2004. the cardiologist told us if Bob did not take medicines for heart, he would be dead in 3 months. When I informed him we did Chelation and took supplements, he said “there is nothing wrong with his alimentary canal and he will get his supplements from his food ---you poor people are wasting your money on Chelation. 
 Well now He is throwing hay! & feeling great!  We will stick with Chelation, nutritionals, ozone and natural healing - conventional medicine as a last resort, i.e. valve replacement if life threatened.   C.O.
