Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 Chelation therapy reduces the plaque and other obstructions to increase blood flow and circulation; also, some studies have found excessive iron in the systems of diabetic patients, and that is the more commonly known use of chelation (heavy metal removal). according to Gary F. Gordon, M.D. of Tempe, AZ, and founder of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM): " Over 20 yrs. of clinical experience has shown me that people with diabetes that receive intravenous chelation therapy with EDTA have less amputations, less blindness, less renal dialysis, and other complications of diabetes, than those on conventional treatments. " (source: Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide) In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Please, I need some advice. I received a call late last night from a sister-in-law concerning a neice. My neice has diabetes and has had since she was a child. She just recently lost two toes due to lack of circulation in her feet. My sister-in-law is asking the family to help finance a chelation program for this neice which will cost several thousands of dollars. I have a feeling that the 'Doctor' involved is a quack. What I really need to know is: is chelation a viable treatment for diabetes? how should this chelation work? are there reasonable herbal methods to perform this chelation therapy? am I being unreasonable in not helping out financially in this time of need? Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Michael G. Wolfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 I've heard that a course for preventing by-pass surgery runs around $3-5,000'; don't know about diabetes. Steve ----------------------------- Intuition says that something is fishy here. Chelation has been largely rejected by the Medical Establishment, and they have a history of rejecting a lot of good things. But i have not heard of it being used for diabetes in this manner. And i'm wondering what they are doing that jacks the price up to thousands of dollars, because chelation in itself should not be all that expensive. There may be some other therapy included, and that should be checked out thoroughly. Who is this doctor? Is he new in town, or does he have an established practice with a good record of cures? Definitely we need to know more. At 08:41 AM 9/14/01 -0500, you wrote: >Please, I need some advice. I received a call late last night from a >sister-in-law concerning a neice.
