There Needs To Be Duplicate Pathways For This Procedure To Be Successful

When the current procedure was originally developed, it was initially believed that cutting this nerve didn't harm the rest of the sympathetic nervous system because there was overlap in the functioning of the sympathetic chain of nerves. ie it was believed all those other signals had an alternative path to get to where they needed to be.

However, evidence has shown this to be incorrect. Actual results from surgeries performed over the last 40 years show that overlap occurs in only a small percentage of the population. This means that ETS is only safe to be performed on a small number of people. That's why there are people out there who have had successful results with this surgery, but it must be noted that they are the minority.

So for the remaining 80-90% of patients who undergo ETS surgery, once that sympathetic nerve is cut, there is no secondary or alternate pathway for all those other signals which means that critical information required for the correct functioning of other organs throughout the body is no longer able to get through. This is the very reason why such a large percentage of ETS patients end up with impairments to autonomous body functions and have ongoing medical conditions and declining health moving forward from the day of their surgery.

Surgeons who carry out this procedure came up with a clever name for these impairments and new medical ailments to help downplay the damage they cause, so they can continue operating on unsuspecting victims.

Can you guess what it is... ?
