About Dr. Chauncy Crandall, M.D.
Dr. Chauncey Crandall, M.D. is not your typical heart doctor. He’s been on both sides of the examination table — as a heart doctor and as a heart patient. With no family history of heart disease, and without warning, at age 48 Dr. Crandall had a massive heart attack. To save his life, doctors performed emergency surgery and placed two stents in his heart.
And that’s when his life changed. He realized from this episode that if he wanted to continue to make a significant contribution to this world, he had to take better care of his own health, and particularly his heart.
At that moment, Dr. Crandall began his own fight with heart disease — a fight he won.
In your FREE special reports, Dr. Crandall will show you there is a growing body of scientific research that demonstrates prayer can have a positive effect on health.
One of the most common theories for the power of prayer is that the act of praying relieves stress, which is a key factor in the development of heart disease. When you are under stress, your body releases hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, to deal with it. These hormones increase your heart rate and blood pressure.
Over time, they can result in an increase in abdominal fat as well. These factors set the stage for coronary artery disease. Studies have found over and over again that the act of praying induces a calm state, which can make these hormones dissipate.
But it’s not only direct prayer that works: Studies are also indicating that prayer can be beneficial even when it’s indirect. This is known as intercessory prayer, which refers to the act of being prayed for by someone else.
