Question:
Is Chelation a good option for failed bypass?
I have known people who have had Chelation and they said it really cleaned out the arteries. Does this work? Also, when will My Guy stop being such an *** hole? I know that this is scary. but HELP!!!!!

hi there
i dont think chelation will ever work on a clogged coronary artery. If you have seen how hard an actual coronary plaque is, you will never ever think of chelation. This the consistency of a plaque that blocks the coronaroy artery is almost like rubber stuck to the arterial wall. I can talk of this because am a heart surgeon.
In fact , that is the reason why we have to bypass the portion of the blocked artery, because we cannot remove the plaque even by mechanicall means, how much more a drug that will circulate in the whole body. Unless probably you inject hydrochloric acid to the blood and let it circulate to your body and to your heart- of course, that would be suicide.
I have patients who turned down the option for bypass and opted for chelation. As expected, they came in less than a year after, in shock because of myocardial infarction. And again, as expected, they were financially drained because of their expense for chelation. who says chelation is cheap?
I suggest you go back to your cardiologist and let them explain to you the other options. I bet, the chelation idea did not come from a cardiologist, but doctors of other specialty..would you entrust the car mechanic to fix your electrical wirings in the house , rather than your engineer or electricians? The same case with our heart. Better let the experts handle the heart problems.
