Roger Reidel, MD Cardiologist This Cardiologist did not have my discharge records from the hospital which said I was OK. Sevierville Tennessee
In February of 2004, I went through the cardiac protocol in Sevierville, TN. Due to insurance, I had to see a cardiologist, Dr. Reidel. He had not seen my discharge report, which said I did NOT have a heart attack. He insisted that I needed an emergency bypass operation. I said no. He stormed out the door. I was still holding my hospital discharge papers,all of them.
I went for a second opinion. In another State. There was nothing wrong with my heart, they advised against any invasive procedures, and saie to exercise, lose weight, and take some supplements. I also received some IV chelation.
Two subsequent heart scans (non-invasive) showed that I had reduced my calcium score by over 200 points, 1 artery was clearing out, another was 70% cleared, and the "bad" one was over 30% better.
I learned that bypass operations did not really extend life. I learned that if I simply ate right with no animal products whatsoever, I would be better than if I had the operation.
I also learned that most bypass patients, about 6 months afterwards, often have a personality change due to the heart lung machine which actually clogs the brain arteries with fine amounts of debris.
I also learned that I would have had at least 4 or 5 drugs for the rest of my life which I cannot afford anyway.
It was best I did not have the operation which was almost forced on me by a money greedy doctor who lied to me.
He may have helped others, but for me he was simply like a used car salesman.
