Q: With the findings from the National Institute of Health's lasted double blind study showing Chelation Therapy had no greater effect than placebo, do you still stand by your claim that Chelation therapy is an appropriate treatment for heart disease?

A: Chelation therapy is a great way to bind the toxic metals out of the endothelium and vascular wall. This will lead to an increase in nitrous oxide (N0) production. NO is the body's most potent vasodilator, and optimizing its secretion is a key factor in maintaining good blood pressure and healthy blood flow. Too much is being focused on the use of chelation as a "rooter-router" which on careful examination is but one of the many benefits that is very hard to demonstrate due to the many many variables associated with it. The key in our understanding of chelation therapy should be focused on endothelial health and the damaging oxidative properties of heavy metal on it. Aside from cardiovascular effect, a long term study of those who had long term chelation has shown almost 90% reductions in cancer. The benefits of chelation far exceed those of cardiovascular health, and most people don't know that. If we live in a virgin environment, chelation is not needed, but with polluted environment and toxic food consumed, chelation to me is a cheap insurance, especially oral form for those in good health. No amount of "science" can convince a skeptical mind, and I feel that the downside is almost nonexistence compare to the benefit. This type of risk reward ratio is well worth the "risk" which again, is almost zero. As a clinician, I can tell you that chelation is a wonderful modality for anti-aging.
