I would take anything any poster does with a grain of salt (except people like Doe -- you should
take a truck load with him).

I understand the conjecture about chelation quite well.

Really? When did I ever say I know nothing about the use of chelating drugs in cancer? Because I do
not beleive that they work (and there is no evidence that they work in humans) does not mean I don't
know about the use of chelating drugs in cancer.
I know about the use of matches in gasoline tanks, but that does not mean that I would light a match
in a gasoline tank, either.
> He is stupid .. and doesn't REALLY give a **** that you are genuinely interested in the issue ..
Actually, I do care that you are geunuinely interested in this issue.
And the evidence is that:
1) Chelators don't work to prevent cancer or detoxify.
2) For EDTA to work, it must get into the blood stream. And for that to happen, it must be used IV
becuase it is not absorbed.
> There are MANY doctors using chelation therapy ..
And there are many doctors out there who don't know what they are doing. Or worse, they do know what
they are doing, but they are doing chelation for the money. The fact is that there is no good
evidence that chelation works.

It seems impressive until you realize that the articles are all old and have major flaws, like very
few subjects or a just a bad design. Being that this is the best you can do speaks loudly to how
poor the science is backing chelation.
