Chelation Therapy is termed controversial and is used to treat atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. A synthetic amino acid is used as part of a "cocktail" of anticoagulant drugs and nutrients to dissolve the calcium content of plaque from the artery walls. The main alternative to coronary bypass surgery, the treatment is long-term injection and can only be carried out by a conventional M.D. The safety of this procedure is still under investigation.

As an additional note: Dr. Whitman, N.D., M.D., D.C. of the Certified National health Practioners (U.S. and Canada) has indicated in studies that the use of Mega-Chel from Nature's Sunshine Products (NSP), which are available in Karinya, is the best for chelation therapy.
