I don't jump on every alternative medicine bandwagon, but I do regard our American "health care" system with a bit of a jaundiced eye. To me, a for-profit system has built-in conflicts of interest. Drs. Walker and Shah make a cogent and powerful case that this may be so regarding chelation therapy. And indeed, after reading the book I called a local MD who is a chelation therapist, and learned that 1) the therapy wasn't covered under my (quite comprehensive) healthcare plan, and yet 2) there was a 5-week waiting period to get in to see him. In other words, many many people are apparently choosing this form of therapy even though they must pay for it themselves. This, taken together with the fact that chelation is used extensively in virtually every Western country other than the US, with 2,000 studies supporting its use, makes a pretty strong argument that it quite possibly IS a very effective alternative remedy that is being blocked by our healthcare system. One can only speculate as to why.

At age 73, I can do virtually anything I could do at age 30 - and longevity and good health does NOT run in the family. Chelation therapy not only lowers your blood pressure by acting as a "liquid roto-rooter" to our arteries, but it actually begins by cleaning out the very end capillaries that are feeding all our organs. This is too often overlooked; we tend to think only of the arteries that surround the heart. We must also consider that our organs are the first to benefit because chelation takes an almost instant effect at their end terminals and thus the organs begin quickly receiving more oxygen and food. Sadly, I have recommended this to old friends and relatives who instead relied on our legalized drug pushers who are trained by the drug companies to treat symptoms instead of the root causes. They only address the effected organ instead of its blood supply that would cure it naturally.

Consider this: if one of your lawn sprinklers goes out, would you prefer carrying out buckets of water to the dying grass and plants, or clean out the underground pipes? That's is what chelation is all about.

For those interested in FACTS and TRUTH about heart health/disease and Unnecessary (and dangerous!) bypass surgery (this is written by an M.D.!). Because heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States, this book (this fantastic and wonderful, easy to understand and exceptionally written book)should be a MUST READ for every single person. The persons who's life you might save is your own, not to mention your loved one.

Chelation can save your life. Well written book that tells you what you need to know. Using this information saved me from a heart valve change. A little dry, at times, but the best I've ever encountered on the subject.

This is an excellent book about this subject - as far as it goes. But what is presented as a marvelous "new" method of healing one's body has some inherent problems not noted in this book: chelation will eliminate not only those minerals that are causing trouble but also all the others as well! You are then faced with replacing the lost minerals in some way without causing even further difficulties. That may sound fairly simple, but in fact it is not. That is the primary reason for going slowly rather than hitting your body with all the stops out.

I do thoroughly recommend using chelation in those cases where it is clearly necessary, but again, go slowly and remember that replacement is absolutely required. Be very certain that your doctor is well grounded in the subject and has had adequate experience to handle your case successfully.
