| From Engineer to Author and now

The author of “Matters of the Heart” Raymond Hunt was born and
has lived in Worsbrough all his life. His father and grandmother
suffered from coronary heart disease before reaching their fiftieth
birthdays, and both had lost their lives after attaining fifty-six
years.
 His love of Worsbrough and the people of Barnsley are never far
away in the story he portrays and as wife Irene explains, “He
much preferred going to the pit than staying at home, until his
health deteriorated”
Starting at Barrow colliery, he went on to be the colliery engineer
at five pits, also working in the Selby coalfield during its
construction and finally completing his career at Allerton Bywater
He quickly discovered that the problems that befell his Dad were
also dominating his own life and his health began a downward
spiral, a quadruple heart by-pass operation in 1990 gave him
six good years of health until the new blood passages around
his heart finally blocked and disappeared. He was told after
a near fatal heart attack and another heart scan that nothing
further could be done. After this news he learned his only brother
would also need a triple by-pass.
With the determined help of his son-in-law James he discovered
via the internet that patients in China and the USA were receiving
EECP. treatment, and after compiling many testimonials asked
a consultant cardiologist to examine their findings. It was his
great fortune to find the man who realised its potential but also
had the courage to make it become a reality for the heart patients
of South Yorkshire. Dr. W.E. Rhoden launched his appeal and within
three years had bought the equipment, trained his staff, and now
treats his grateful patients on Barnsley’s Enhanced External Counter
Pulsation machine.
Raymond Hunt acquired his own P.C. equipment to further his quest
for funds for an updated EECP machine by writing his autobiography,
and during his many sorties on the net found that stem cell treatment
might be the panacea cure to many diseases including neurology
malfunctions, cancer treatment, Parkinson’s disease and many
more ailments.
He was further encouraged by the efforts of Ian Rosenberg a patient
from North London who went to Germany and was given his own cultured
stem cells and wrote an article in the Daily Mail’s excellent health
section. The patient then initiated his own charity appeal through
St. Bartholomew’s hospital with the hope many others would similarly
benefit.
 Due to the excellent cardiac rehabilitation following EECP treatment
Ray is now playing golf and crown green bowling 4 days per week.
“I was so grateful for all the help and backup I had received,
I would now try and help others in despair”, he reported. “My
training as an Engineer had taught me to always find the cause
to make a cure”
“In truth we have created a system that seeks to treat the patient,
but not to effectively cure him”. Hippocrates the “Father of
medicine” famously said “Let food be your medicine and medicine
be your food”
Ray knows the fight goes on, but is now certain the question
is when and not if. The new treatment will open medicinal cures
beyond man’s wildest dreams. Men of power must allow it to happen
Incidentally only a handful of copies of Matters of the Heart
remain unsold, from Chris Sharpe on Barnsley market’s OLD BARNSLEY
outlet stall, they sell for £4 each. |
