Among the reasons for being skeptical about the findings are the fact that many of the participants did not complete the full round of chelation infusions; by the study’s end, 600 had failed to finish. In addition, the benefit only seemed to appear after two years, an odd trend since the idea of removing metals that might trigger heart problems would suggest immediate benefits on heart health. Another unexplained pattern: almost all the differences in results between treatment and placebo groups occurred in diabetic patients, suggesting there was something unique about these patients’ response to chelation that researchers cannot explain.
