    Yes, very helpful to get an honest answer from someone who is not related to the sales of chelation drugs. The way all those Chelation sites make it sound, they tri to make it sound like you would be a fool not to buy. Then the prices, I saw 799.00 fors some and as low as 12.95, some were based on quanity of course but alot were just expensive . Thank you Dave

    i know of a man that went in for bypass surgery and he died on the table, turns out, he was given the wrong meds before the surgery, conclusion, do NOT have bypass surgery done. Here is evidence that is is very dangerous and unproven. There have been NO double blind studies done anywhere that shows this to be an effective treatment for heart decease. The medical community continues to promote unproven and very dangerous procedures that are very costly to the patient. I would never recommend this procedure to be done

    hey anyhting is safer than surgery, if one wants to try it...why not? There are far more dangerous things out there to try and if it works great....who cares what the science says, they dont know everything.
