Question:
Inspite of the witch hunts and dirty tactics of *organized medicine*

Facts are, people are using it will success. They know all about the efforts tostop it, they are aware of the group of debunkers who eagerly claim, it doesn'twork, rather than it remains unproven. They are only concerned with RESULTS. Itis a real pity that this dirty tactic group could care less if it saves fromsawing open the chest and having bypasses. They are the group who want nofurther studies.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and theNational Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), components of the NationalInstitutes of Health (NIH), have launched the first large-scale clinical trialto determine the safety and efficacy of EDTA chelation therapy in individualswith coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death for both men and womenin the United States.

Answer: My prediction is that chelation will continue to fail to produce results incontrolled research trials, but alas, Jan, you are right. It IS "here tostay" for the same reason that homeopathy and laetrile are still around. Aslong as there are rubes willing to buy it and quacks willing to sell it, itwill be here to stay.
