Response:
what is chelation? it is the chemical process by which a metal or mineral is bonded to another substance. it is a natural process, basic to life itself. chelation is one mechanism by which common substances as aspirin, antibotics, vitamins minerals and trace elements work in the body example hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood which carries oxegen, is a chelate of iron. clinical benefits from chelation therapy vary w/the total number of treatments received and the severity of the condition being treated. more than 90% of patients receiving 35 or more treatments have benefited. even more so when they have also corrected dietary,exercise and smoking habits. syptoms improvr, blood flow to diseased organs increases, need for medication decreases and quality of life improves.better memory, sight, hearing and increased vigor. a number of physicians treat individuals suffering from occlusive vascular conditions w/chelation therapy and consistent improvements were reported for the most patients. it is legal. it is not a new thing on the market. chelation therapy has been around since wwII. it is not covered by insurance. i am going to find out why and who i need to lobby to get it covered as a series of recommended treatments can run 3 – 4000.00. each treatment takes apprx. 3 hrs. it is done intravenously in your certified and licensed physicians office. you do have to be tested before you are eligible to do the therapy. blood and urine test.(like we havent had these done enough already). oral chelation therapy is not the same and it will not work. however physicians who do practice chelation therapy are doing research to come up w/ an oral therapy due to the cost not covered by insurance companys. from the people i have talked with who have had chelation therapy, their energy level has increased and those w/poor circulation to hands, feet, heart have seen and felt warmer, healthier and happier due to the increased oxygen due to improved circulation. is it a cure? no but it is an alternative or an addtional to conventional drug/surgical therapy. how am i doing w/it? when i can afford the 120.00 per treatment i go but because i cannot be consistent weekly/monthly with the treatments i will not experience the same benefits of those who can. again i stress if anyone is intrested in learning more on this therapy please go to this web site….http://www.drcranton.com/newhope.htm or simply type in chelation therapy and search the net as there is a wealth of information out there on chelation therapy………….love and hugs……………….colleen – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Richard Schiehl wrote: > for those who would like to more information on this procedure which the > mt. rogers clinic in va. and the mt. rainer clinic in wa. have a wealth > of for us, please go tohttp://www.drcranton.com/newhope.htm to quote > from page 12 of 16 "There is no better treatment for scleroderma" un > quote. as i go through my treatments i will keep everyone posted. it > will take me longer than most who go through it due to the degree of the > sd i have before i get any "real good" results. read it this article, > discuss w/ your friends/families and doctors and of course let me know > what yall think……….colleen
