A major study may prove that chelation works

Re bypass surgery (WDDTY vol 14 no 12), in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI), lifestyle changes were determined to have most to do with an increase in survival.

The TACT study is the first large-scale study of chelation; the US National Institutes of Health is investing $30 million to test it, as empirical data show efficacy, and no study has been negative if it followed the full protocol of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (www. acam.org). – John Buckley, Arterial Disease Clinic, Manchester
