But surely it should be classed as dangerous? If there is a calcium cap over a high pressure area of soft plaque in the wall, then this helps matters. It's when the calcium fractures and the soft goo escapes that the clots start. Imagine someone with a long 100% occlusion in the LAD, with a hard cap at either end. Don't you agree it would be silly to dissolve the calcium and let all that fat run free that's sitting in between?
I can relate this to the blockage that I had. The Cardiologist went through the left main stem and had to chip away at the plaque slowly, sucking out any debris. 4mm in depth was removed and then there was half an inch of soft plaque in there before the bottom calcium cap. If it was approached from the bottom, the soft plaque would have gone everywhere. It scares me to even think about it.

I gree with you on Chelation therapy, but the people that are pushing it actually base their comparison not on the soft plaque but on the Calcium Phosphate. Calcium is an alkaline metal, but they also don't say, people with soft plaque only should not apply. That would tell me immediately that it is a sham.

I know it's easy to let fear push you to look for alternatives, but to be honest, chelation therapy has no supporting evidence behind it. It was originally developed to remove high levels of toxic metals from the blood, NOT for heart disease. Perhaps the chelation clinics, who claim SO much, could explain exactly what heavy metal is inside fat? none as far as I'm aware. So even the logic fails. The surface of the fat blockages does calcify after a long time, but again, calcium is not a toxic metal and our bodies need it. Chelation won't touch the calcium, and it's a good job because it would expose the soft fat laying underneath it. If exposed, it COULD erupt and travel in the blood until it finds a tiny vessel, blocking it totally. This would likely be in the Brain. Angioplasty is hardly invasive at all, compared to bypass. I've had so many angio procedures now that I've lost count, I just know it's more than 9, and I've also had a triple bypass. I'm not boasting, I just want to show that I'm still here and able to write this. There are no medications which will remove blockages and if there is, we would all have taken it years ago. They should make stricter laws about such claims, and unless supported by proper scientific evidence and trials, they should not be allowed to advertise such claims.
