Chelation trial for heart disease under fire
IT'S a trial of a controversial alternative therapy for heart
disease, and it involves some physicians with criminal records and
others who have been disciplined by state medical boards. So why is
the world's leading biomedical research agency backing it?

That's the question being asked by critics of a $30 million study
funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), who want the
trial stopped.

The row involves chelation therapy, generally used to remove toxic
heavy metals from the body. Some alternative practitioners claim that
chelation can also dissolve the plaques that can form in arteries and
increase the risk of heart attacks. In the NIH trial, the chelating
drug ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) is being tested for its
ability to do this in people with heart disease.

Yes, of course I replied to it.

By the way, I'm just at 4 Miles Per Hour in my walking and I can do a
few miles at this pace. I start sweating at about .6 of a mile. It's
wonderful. I'm walking rapidly enough to work out my heart which
correct me if I am wrong is a good thing. I had the exact symptoms as
a family member ( who also has diabetes ) by the way who chose to go
with the so called main stream medical "profession". He's on a
variety of medicines. He now is below 2 miles per hour and cannot
even walk a mile at that rate and was told he needs a stent in his
left common illiac. No way to do a stress test as he can't walk
enough to do so. Has to do it all chemically. I was MUCH MUCH WORSE
than that ( go to where it says messages, click on it and go to the
very beginning of this forum where I post my complete story) when I
started with this chelation therapy and even when I told this to the
asshole who runs that quack website, was told that my improvement had
nothing to do with chelation and that the doctor administering it was
a fraud.

The fraud is he, and the doctors who told me I needed all the
surgeries that I thankfully never permitted to happen.

Thank you Doctor Coy for saving my life. Now I thank Dr Roberts who
is the doctor who is continuing my monthly maintenence with chelation
and who has become my regular MD.

To those of you who for whatever reason do not post, but have read
this forum ( Yes I know this ), please, I beg of you, please change
your life. LIFE. Stop the cigarettes. It's not hard. Excuse me, it's
hard for a week. Then it's gone. If those around you insist on
smoking around you after you've quit, then obviously they don't give
a crap about you and you should avoid them. Stop eating the garbage.
Go and see a Doctor who is commited to saving your life. Like Doctor
Coy and Doctor Roberts. Change your diet. Excercise. It's painful in
the beginning I know. Nobody knows this more than I do. I do not know
if you will make the kind of improvements I've made but what do you
have to lose?

And those of you who don't have a hundred bucks a week for 30 weeks.
Please, stop smoking, that's a sawbuck a day you can save right
there. Sell something. Do what you have to do but get the money and
get it done. You'll be so much happier if you do.

Life is such a gift.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all
