Transcript

Coronary heart disease: how it develops, what standard care does, and what the chelation trials found.
Can chelation open blocked heart arteries without a stent or bypass? First, what happens in those arteries.
Plaque builds up inside the heart's arteries, reducing blood flow and making clots more likely. Often the first sign is chest pain or a heart attack.
Standard care combines lifestyle, medicines such as statins and aspirin, and procedures like stents or bypass when blockages are serious.
The clinic's documents say stents, bypass and heart medicines cannot treat heart disease, and propose chelation with EDTA instead.
Two NIH trials tested this. A small benefit in the first was not repeated in the second, where heart events were 35.6 percent with EDTA and 35.7 percent with placebo.
The clinic also proposes lumbrokinase, ozone and chlorine dioxide. Lumbrokinase has no official evaluation, and regulators warn against ozone and chlorine dioxide.
If you are considering chelation, talk to your cardiologist first, keep taking your heart medicines, and avoid home chelation products.
Chest pain or pressure lasting more than a few minutes, or sudden breathlessness, is an emergency. Call 911.
Your next steps: know your numbers, keep taking prescribed heart medicines, and bring every supplement and therapy to your next visit.
