Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy is an investigational therapy using a man-made amino acid, called EDTA. It is added to the blood through a vein. A US national research study is now testing whether chelation therapy is safe and effective for treating heart disease.

Many people are considering using chelation therapy because of the belief that it may treat heart disease. However this has not been scientifically proven. Past studies did not show benefit, but may have been too small to be conclusive. That is why the National Institutes of Health is conducting this large study to find out whether chelation therapy is safe and effective in treating heart disease.
