There is a book with the title '40 Something Forever" which is all about Chelation. Dr Whitaker's Guide to Natural Healing discusses it as does the Prescription for Natural Cures.

Chelation therapy or kelation therapy, works by bonding metals or minerals, like Selenium, cadmium, calcium, iron, aluminum, arsenic, etc.present in th body to an amino acid called EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid). The EDTA bonds with excess metals & minerals in the body and carries them out of the body through urine
trace elements and minerals which are essential for good health are closely held in the body ,and can be maintained with a proper balanced diet, and by nutritional supplements.
Butfree radicals in excess, trigger the development of atherosclerosis and many other degenerative diseases commonly associated with aging. When the free radicals are reduced, clogged arteries begin to open, and the blood flow will be restored. kelation therpy also brings amazing improvement in many other physiologic and essential metabolic functions in the body.

Kelation Therapy reduces calcium plaques on arterial walls. . On the contrary, they are widespread and can affect blood flow (oxygen delivery) to every cell, tissue, gland, organ, and system being served by the over 75,000 miles of blood vessels in your body. Kelation Therapy reaches every blood vessel in the body, from the largest artery to the tiniest capillary and arteriole, most of which are far too small or too deep within the brain or other organ to be safely reached in surgery, but Kelation Therapy can.

Proponents claim that 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.
