Summary: CAVEAT EMPTOR ON THE SEPT 23 REVIEW FROM VANCOUVER
Comment: The reviewer refers to us the Quackwatch website for "an objective non-biased view into the lack of efficacy on chelation".

The facts: Quackwatch is a website run by Stephen Barrett, a retired psychiatrist whose license expired seven years ago. The goal of this website is to discredit every single alternative therapy known to man through blanket ad-hominum generalizations.

Fact: The most prominent medical journal in the world, THE LANCET, published 79 peer-reviewed double-blind placebo controlled studies proving the efficacy of EDTA chelation.

Fact: In JAMA, vol. 260, p. 505, the orthodox medical establishment conceded that between 30% and 44% of all bypass surgeries are deemed unnecessary. And remember, 4% or 1 in 25 persons dies on the operating table during the procedure. So, for example, let's say:

100,000 bypass surgeries annually

30% or 30,000 deemed not necessary

4% or 1200 people die from an operation they should not have had.

For more into the ulterior motives of Quackwatch, do a key word search for Quackpot Watch.

Summary: Alas, all the worst sort of bunkum
Comment: Asked to check into chelation therapy for some ailing friends and relatives, I did, hoping very much to find something that would offer hope and help to those who were moving beyond the capacity of conventional treatment to cure.

Regretfully I found absolutely no evidence beyond the hype of chelationist ads and the desperate hopes of the ill that chelation therapy is anything other than the worst sort of snake oil.

There have in the last several years been several excellent studies done to determine the efficacy of chelation therapy. Not one demonstrates any effect beyond that caused by caring health care workers and hope. While those effects are interesting, they are not life saving.

For a sobering and very fair discussion, go to the Quackwatch site, http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chelation.html

My best wishes to all.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: I was about to have my third angioplasty and have changed my mind since my chance (miraculous?) finding of this terrific book. Normally a skeptic, I just kept reading. Then I looked up chelation in Dr. Rosenfeld's Guide to Alternative Medicine. His open-mindedness toward chelation was overwhelming. Since finishing Dr. Cranton's book, I've decided to find an MD who can get me out of the HMO quagmire and give me relief from carotid artery, leg, and cardiac vascular problems. If what you've done doesn't work, you change course!
