chelation therapy?

Question

Is chelation therapy success

Answer 1

As a cardiologist, I advise people to avoid chelation therapy, as it has never been proven to reverse vascular disease. It can be dangerous, particularly if it causes a patient to avoid proven therapies. And at best, it is a waste of money. There may be some more information on chelation on the NIH.gov website or on the AHA.org website.

Chelation Therapy:
Unproven Claims and Unsound Theories
Saul Green, Ph.D.
Chelation therapy, as discussed in this article, is a series of intravenous infusions containing disodium EDTA and various other substances. It is sometimes done by swallowing EDTA or other agents in pill form. Proponents claim that EDTA chelation therapy is effective against atherosclerosis and many other serious health problems. Its use is widespread because patients have been led to believe that it is a valid alternative to established medical interventions such as coronary bypass surgery. However, there is no scientific evidence that this is so. It is also used to treat nonexistent "lead poisoning," "mercury poisoning," and other alleged toxic states that practitioners diagnose with tests on blood, urine, and/or hair.
