  1. There's a very simple reason why EDTA chelation therapy is not more
    widely accepted for treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

    Multiple randomized clinical trials have failed to show a benefit
    greater than placebo in either symptoms or arterial occlusion as
    measured by angiography.

    It's that simple.

    Really? Do tell. What evidence from randomized double-blind trials is
    there that chelation therapy improves symptoms of atherosclerotic
    cornary artery or peripheral artery disease or that it decreases plaque
    as measured by angiography?
