ABSTRACT: A study of 117 lower extremities in 77 elderly patients with documented occlusive peripheral vascular stenosis, diagnosed by the Doppler systolic ankle/brachial (ankle/arm) blood pressure ratio is reported. This study showed that intravenous ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelation therapy with supportive multivitamin/trace mineral supplementation improved arterial blood flow to the legs significantly after approximately 60 days and 26 infusions (P<0.001).
[Note: Blood pressure is normally higher in the ankles than in the arms. An A/B ratio of less than approximately 1.0 is considered abnormal and is an indication of blockage to the flow of blood to the legs]

Our experience since 1994 with chelation therapy for ischemic heart disease, cerebral ischemia and peripheral artery disease has been excellent.. My and my wife's training in MBBS and MD caused our first reaction about Chelation Therapy in 1992-1993 to be a biased negative. One of the reasons that ''forced'' me to practice Chelation therapy was when someone close to me had a coronary artery stent failure within just a couple of months. He wanted me to explore other options as he could not afford bypass surgery.
ReplyDeleteI took training and did his chelation therapy not expecting any benefit - but he made a marvelous recovery. One patient led to another. It took us three years to finally come top terms with our mental bloc\k and finally accept Chelation Therapy as an effective, safe and economical treatment. With the experience of Chelation we ventured into other non-invasive, non-surgical treatment and today when anyone wants to explore non-surgical options for any ailment they contact us.. Anyone wanting information is welcome to contact us. We do wish that there is more research on this and other non-surgical treatments and invite like minded medical and non medical persons to support our efforts.- Dr Sibia
