Chelation

[Witek]

Does oral chelation work to clean arteries in the legs - peripheral artery disease?

I have heard pros and cons on this, I believe if it is a reputable brand it can help. I have also heard that chelation done via an IV is very good and a lot more effective.

You hear of people having coronary artery disease. What they may not know is that arteriosclerosis is not limited to the heart - it is throughout the body. Chelation removes the calcium from all blood vessels, not just the heart. It is a systemic treatment. It should be carried out by IV by a physician skilled in the technique. The components of the IV may vary depending on the needs of the patient. My husband had two abortive heart attacks 15 years ago. He underwent IV chelation, his blood pressure became normal, and he remained free of symptoms. I should have had him go for repeat chelation five years ago. He recently had a very minor heart attack. He is now undergoing chelation once again. His blood pressure is dropping, as is his blood sugar (he is a type 2 diabetic). I don't need approval of the AMA or the FDA for this treatment. I have my husband as proof.
