Alllopaths are terrified of alternative treatments. As usual they play the quackery card and do everything possible to torpedo any research that threatens their rice bowl.

Proponents of chelation therapy for heart disease initially speculated that EDTA could also cleanse the blood of calcium ions, a component of the atherosclerotic plaques that block blood vessels. But evidence against that hypothesis led them to suggest alternative mechanisms, for example that the molecule captures other metals, preventing heart-damaging inflammation.

Sorry, but this helps to illustrate why I get so frustrated with MDs conducting medical research. Any biochemist could tell you that the main use of EDTA in the lab is to stop the activity of enzymes that rely on cations. *If* EDTA chelation therapy is really having an effect on heart health, it could be from inhibiting overactive enzymes that are damaging the cardiovascular system.

The Nature article shows how difficult human studies can be and trying to do one by folks that do crystal therapy puts the whole thing in the nut case category.

Follow the money. Lot more money to be made in stints and by pass operations than routine chelation treatments. And they no way cost upwards of a $1000 a treatment. I stopped reading right there. I do one a month for about $80.

Probably no way to prove the efficacy as regards to heart disease because every human is different. My personal observation is that I’ve seen it keep some people alive. Most people I see do it do so as a last resort. They’ve been told by their cardiologists, there’s nothing else to do. Most all have already had a bypass or two.

I’ve been chelating for 10 years and am now almost 70. Never has any heart disease although all my family has and i have the usual so called symptoms, Type II, high cholesterol, and elevated BP. All treatable by drugs pushed by traditional medicine. I take none of these drugs. I don’t know if EDTA works for sure but at least I get rid of the lead, calcium, mercury and a few others. Its my $80 to spend the way I want. Besides I know I’m on the Obumacare chopping block.

Chelation Therapy has been around for over 50 years.

My ex father in-law 25 years ago was a big man and got sick and was down to skin and bones and had been to dozens of doctors and close to death, was asked to see a doctor who did Chelation Therapy.

At the time I thought he would live a few more days. He started Chelation Therapy and it was like a miracle. He totally recovered.

Though the years I have read alot about Chelation Therapy.

Fact is if everyone would use Chelation Therapy the average life would be prolonged 10 to 20 years.

Why is it not use more widely? POLITICS!!! Socail Security would really have a problem if we all live longer.
