Chelation has long been under attack by its own critics, but the latter has won the long alternative treatment debate having been favored by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA sent several companies, letters notifying that the chelation substances they sell without prescription are actually unapproved drugs and devices, illegal drugs in short.
Chelation substances should be available only with prescription, and must be administered only by a trained medical professional. It cannot be done by just anyone wearing Cherokee scrubs or Grey’s Anatomy scrubs because of the risks of complications. Serious possible effects include dehydration, kidney failure, and possible death. Subsequently, FDA sent warnings to World Health Products; Hormonal Health; Evenbetternow; Maxam Nutraceutics/Maxam Laboratories; Cardio Renew; Artery Health Institute; and Dr. Rhonda Henry.
Chelation is believed by proponents to be effective in treating atherosclerosis and many other serious health problems involving exposure to high levels of metal. Chelation claims to restore blood flow and reverse arterial hardening on atherosclerosis sufferers, as well as able to correct underlying causes of arterial blockage. It is also believed to help prevent production of free radicals.
Chelation might work by removing calcium in fatty plaques that block arteries, by lowering cholesterol levels or by reducing inflammation in the arteries and improving blood vessel function. None of the ideas has been well tested in scientific studies. Meanwhile, a large study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health will determine whether such claims are correct, and results are expected to be release on 2012, washingtonpost.com reports
