In reply to the discussion: Chelation may help some heart patients: study [View all]Celebration
(15,812 posts)these things could be sorted out in future large scale controlled studies, testing the ingredients separately vs. together, etc.
But until proven otherwise, I truly doubt that trace amounts of glucose in an IV would affected the results. Again, it was a SALINE solution.
A better argument is that this is just one study and it hasn't been replicated, etc., etc.
And talking about how dangerous chelation is really doesn't cut in unless you can cite statistics that you may have on that, vs. statistics on the dangers of surgical procedures.
I still can't figure out why I am being attacked personally for posting this information. I never said there weren't problems with the study and I never recommended the procedure. I do disagree with you about glucose affecting the result, though. There is no evidence that there was enough glucose to affect the result. There are enough other issues that detractors don't have to grasp for that issue.
About the only thing I would like to see is more study of the issue. If that is controversial here well, so be it.
