Has anyone with PAD or other arterial diseas tried Chelation therapy? Have you tried any of the following:?Have you or someone you know with arterial disease (PAD, Int. Claudication, hardening of the arteries, etc.) tried any of these or other chelation therapy products, and have you/they had any success? My sister-in law is supposed to have surgery for stents and is looking for non-surgical alternatives. Anyone had experience with any of these?
Cardio Restore
Angioprim
Strauss Heart Drops
Cardioflex
Cardiorenew
(I have also, separately, asked about surgery, so if you have had surgery, please answer that question also). Many, many thanks.
If you haven't, don't just state "NO" please indicate why. If you are just gaming for points, go annoy someone else.

NO

No I have never heard of those procedures. I have had two stent procedures--both successful--six years ago. All is well. Now they have new and improved stents and easier recovery

Answer by Amy P
As a cardiologist, I can assure you that chelation therapy has never been proven in any rigorously controlled, well designed, scientifically valid study. It's probably a waste of money at best and can be harmful at worst, particularly if one stops working with a traditional physician in order to pursue this avenue.
