Treatment may eliminate need for surgery for atherosclerosis patients

Chelation therapy is a non-surgical, safe, effective and relatively inexpensive treatment that restores blood flow for patients of atherosclerosis by administering an intravenous infusion of a prescription medicine called EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid). Chelation therapy is a treatment used to reserve symptoms associated with atherosclerosis or arterio sclerosis (hardening of the arteries) as it promotes health by correcting the major underlying cause of arterial blockage. Also because the use of EDTA, the need for drugs is often reduced or eliminated after a course of chelation therapy.

Bypass surgery is the mechanical repai of only a small protion of the arterial function. Total costs for "bypass surgery" on average is about $45,000 and has reached in excess of $60,000. Chelation therapy is an out-patient treatment (usually performed in an office setting) which improves blood flow throughout the entire vascular system at a small fraction of the cost.
