    Frankly, I don't think chelation therapy works at all, much less "so well", and I think this is why most doctors won't buy into it. Smoke and mirrors.

    I've have patients who have actually attempted Chelation therapy with great success in Landrum, South Carolina. I have seen their pre and post carotid studies to see vast improvements in the blood flow.

    The reason why this is not mainstream treatment is that this is a cheaper alternative and it can put all these cardiologists who perform heart catheterizations out of business (multi-million business).
