Yes indeed, I have an attitude. An attitude of supporting science over
quackery, and exposing medical fraud when I see it.

No reputable doctors, that's for sure. Your claim that New Zealand
requires chelation before bypass is false, as was your claim about Ozone
treatment in Germany.

Did you even read the explanation the AHA gave? Or is your mind closed?

You have had a "personal" experience that can be explained by other
effects than chelation. You have no proof that what made you better was
the therapy. All trials that were done under controlled conditions
showed ZERO effect compared to placebo. Yet you think you know better?

Oh well...

Food and Drug Administration:

In the absence of evidence of safety and effectiveness, the use of this
treatment for atherosclerosis is investigational. To date, no physician
or sponsor has filed a plan or protocol to study its (EDTA’s) use in
such treatment.

No party has ever provided us with an organized submission attempting to
show that it is an effective therapy in atherosclerosis; instead, we
have been handed unorganized data without any attempt to describe a
formal study.

Under the circumstances, we have had no choice but to attempt to prevent
improper promotion of the drug and to point out its unproven status.

American College of Physicians:

Chelation therapy with EDTA has been used in the treatment and
prevention of atherosclerosis. Because of the risk of severe renal
(kidney) toxicity and lack of objective evidence suggesting therapeutic
benefit from EDTA therapy … such therapy should be regarded as
investigational and (should be) conducted under carefully controlled
conditions in an academic institution by experienced investigators.

National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of
Health:

There is no reason to expect benefit from chelation in the management of
arteriosclerosis. More importantly, there has been no scientific
evidence of such benefit — and there is scientific evidence of no
benefit.

American Medical Association:

The AMA believes that chelation therapy for atherosclerosis is an
experimental process without proven efficacy. They have also reaffirmed
their 1984 House of Delegates Resolution stating:

“…there is no scientific documentation that the use of chelation therapy
is effective in the treatment of cardiovascular disease,
atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer;

“…if chelation therapy is to be considered a useful medical treatment
for anything other than heavy metal poisoning, hypercalcemia, or
digitalis toxicity, it is the responsibility of its proponents to (a)
conduct properly controlled scientific studies, (b) adhere to Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines for the investigation of drugs, and
(c) disseminate results of scientific studies in the usually accepted
channels.

American College of Cardiology:

There is insufficient scientific evidence to justify the application of
chelation therapy for atherosclerosis on a clinical basis. At the
present time, therefore, chelation therapy should be applied only under
an investigational protocol.

Oh, wow....you didn't go *there*, did you?
