The doctors all told him that if he didn't take various medications, that he would not live more than another few months. Instead, he refused the medication and after chelation therapy. We did a lot of reading about it, and contrary to what that video claims, every study I could find on Chelation therapy shows that it works wonders. In fact, it is used throughout Europe and is the major way that they treat heart disease over there. However, here in the US where health care is a major money-making industry, they want you to take medication for everything. So the drug companies have gone out of their ways to squash any natural remedies and make sure that people take medication instead. While I don't know enough to make this claim, it's possible that HGH is another case of this as well.

Discredited, in your eyes.
Chelation (pronounced key-LAY-shun) therapy is an investigational therapy using a man-made amino acid, called EDTA. It is added to the blood through a vein.
AKA, removes heavy-metals from the body, like in lead poisoning, so if heavy-metal was the problem..then it probably worked.

AHA achieves 2010 goal of reducing deaths from heart disease
Chelation Therapy
AHA Recommendation
The American Heart Association has reviewed the available literature on using chelation (ke-LA'shun) (E.D.T.A., ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) to treat arteriosclerotic (ar-te"re-o-skleh-ROT'ik) heart disease. We found no scientific evidence to demonstrate any benefit from this form of therapy.
