They are going to limit our health choices people. No doubt about it.

Doctors profitting from a study?
This is scary stuff and undermines the legitimacy of ALL studies,
good or bad. I hope the guinea pigs profit from fat lawsuits down the
road for being used in this manner.

This article doesn't state that chelation therapy is often used on
patients who are being sent to hospice, and instead of dying they
recover, apparently due the remarkable power of "the placebo effect".
Chelation therapy is used on race horses who seem to then run faster;
apparently the race horses also experience a "placebo effect". Most
of the physicians who administer this therapy actually use it on
themselves (a time consuming procedure which also reduces their
profits). Certain conventional cardiologists even send themselves,
their family members, and favorite friends and patients to chelation
clinics, apparently knowing that heart bypass, carotid endarectomies,
and angioplasty/stents don't "fix" anything long term (a study last
month reported stents provided no benefit other than relief of chest
pain for at most 3 years; those not getting the stents fared just as
well after 3 years). In fact, many of the patients at a chelation
clinic have had bypasses and stents already, so they have already
tried treating a atherosclerosis, a disease which affects the entire
body, with one little patch at a time, kind of like putting hundreds
of patches on a worn out old tire.
The Bush administration is throwing alternative medicine under the
bus in its waning hours while the attention is on the attempt to
steal $700B from the taxpayers in the aftermath of a failed "economic
recovery from 9/11" that involved giving everyone who could fog a
mirror a mortgage. It is important to remember as recently as Sept.
10, 2001, Congress was holding hearings on vitamins which were then
categorized as "worthless"; since that time high doses of Vitamin C
and a few others have been accepted into the medical mainstream and
are now being routinely given in hospitals and nursing homes. Yet ten
years ago, high doses of Vitamin C were considered in the same
category as chelation therapy, and Donna Shalala was dispatched by
Bill Clinton to work with Big Pharma in Germany to try to outlaw the
non-prescription sale of high dose Vitamin C using the UN World
Health Organization as a vehicle.

I have personally had more than 75 chelation sessions after a failed
bypass surgery at charlotte regional medical center in punta gorda in
2005. They also wanted to slice and dice me for a blocked femoral
artery, blocked common illiac and also a blocked right carotid.
After 30 chelation treatments, I returned for testing and was told I
no longer needed surgery on the carotids. Far as the blocked femoral
and illiac. Previously the pain from these blockages stopped me from
being able to walk only 1/10 of a mile. I simply could nhot do it.
After 15 chelation sessions I walked a mile. That was in 2005. I now
speed walk nearly 4MPH at a level 3 incline on the treadmill for 2-3
miles. Much further if I walk slower and I have since done 8 miles,
nonstop. I had to pee which made me return home. I became like forest
gump in the neighborhood.
Chelation Therapy has worked miracles for me.
For more information I even started a yahoo group on the subject.
