Steve,
You are a wise consumer. It is not unethical for a patient to make a choice to assist the scientific process. I just think it is unethical for a physician to withhold a needed therapy.
Also, it is probably a good idea for you to optimize your blood's buffering capacity.

I take the equivalent of 1100 mg/day and intend to continue indefinitely - my
ejection fraction is normal by-the-way.

I don't think it is troubling to work with clinics that are involved in the NIH
study. The place I used in Utah is the only clinic in Utah that offers
chelation and I was asked if I wanted to be in the study. My reply was "Not a
chance!", I want to get the real deal. EDTA comes with a burning pain - I think
it's related to how acidic your blood is - and I can certainly tell nowadays if
I was getting the real deal or a placebo but I didn't want to play that game.
I've had 40+ session of EDTA to date (and 25 of PlaqueX) and try for a monthly
maintenance IV session of EDTA. Because my kidney function was very good, I got
a higher dosage of EDTA than average.
