No: I feel that chelation is medically useless and a great way to lighten your wallet! blocked arteries are caused by atherosclerotic plaque. The cause of the plaque should be treated. See www.Vascularweb.Org or www.Padcoalition.Org for more information.

No: Chelation therapy and blocked arteries is complete sham. Not a single study shows benefit. May be dangerous and definitely costly with no known benefit.

No : This is a complete waste of time your money. See a board certified vascular surgeon and ask if anything even needs to be done. Sometimes an occluded artery does not need to be treated if there is enough collateral circulation.
