Do read newspapers skeptically. Be skeptical about results reported in percentages. Don t jump to conclusions. Never stop taking medications or medical treatment without checking with your physician first. Keep in mind, just because a treatment has not been convincingly proven does not mean that it is worthless.
T here is still an ongoing controversy over chelation therapy.
There are biologically plausible reasons for, and ample reports of clinical benefits of this procedure, which are based on case reports. However, the negative results of randomized trials with limited statistical power do not exclude a small or moderate benefit of EDTA chelation therapy. A clinical trial with clearly measurable endpoints and stringent statistical power must be performed to determine whether chelation therapy is effective therapy for the treatment of coronary artery disease.
