I am a 70 year old woman who has been
extremely healthy all my life. I do not smoke. I eat well. I exercise regularly.
I am not overweight; nor do I have high blood pressure. My cholesterol is
somewhat elevated. Two years ago I experienced chest discomfort (not quite
pains) that lasted 2 to 8 hours. I went to my MD who sent me to a heart
specialist. The specialist gave me a sress test which I flunked in the
"cooling off" stage (the most important, I understand). He immediately
ordered a heart cath where they would put in stent or do what they felt they had
to while I was undergoing it. When I got home and told my husband, he said,
"No way. You are going to get chelation." I went through 20 chelation
treatments in a period of 10 weeks. When I went back to my family doctor and
told him, he nearly kicked me out of his office. I went to another heart
specialist and had another stress test, which I passed. Two years later, and I
have had no chest pains.
