It never ceases to amaze me that when there is a revolutionary new "cure" (such as chelation) that hits the market, most medical practitioners speak out against it and claim it to be nothing more than new age voo-doo. We all like to think that the medical community is out for our best interest, but we can't just step around the truth that medicine in the United States is also a business. The business of medicine doesn't like the idea of chelation.
Chelation is treatment for atherosclerosis (a condition of the arteries which creates obstruction through hardening and leads to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious heart conditions) which has actually been around for several decades. Only recently has it come to the public's eye as a potential cure for atherosclerosis. The greatest asset of chelation therapy is that it is capable of removing calcium build up within the arteries, creating a clear and unobstructed path for blood to flow. Of course, just like all treatments that don't fall under the realm of insurance company approved procedures, many physicians look at chelation as "dangerous."

Modern medicine has yet to make us healthier. What it has succeeded in doing is making us more chemically dependent upon pharmaceuticals, which is good business for the medical business. With heart disease being the number one killer and heart related treatments being one of the highest paid specialties in the industry, it is no wonder that the medical profession is not on board with chelation.
There are thousands of patients who have received chelation therapy over the past thirty years that have shown significant improvement and have even been able to abandon their daily regimen of medications. However the American medical community still chooses to ignore the results of such evidence. In fact, while data was given directly to the American Heart Association outlining the results of studies and patient reports, the AHA didn't like the formatting and dismissed it without reading it.
Just like there are risks with any medical procedure or treatment, the medical community loves to play up the risks associated with chelation. The risks of side effects or ill effects are about the same of those present when taking daily medication for atherosclerosis. Medication is not entirely "safe" and short term and long term side effects have left many patients without significant help. Chelation provides an alternative therapy option for those who do not feel as though traditional drug therapy is working. Just like all choices when it comes to your health, there are bound to be different results. However, a large percentage of patients have tried chelation and have benefited greatly from the therapy. Just as some medications will work on some patients and not on others, chelation is not a guarantee but a treatment option for those considering a new and improved treatment method.
