Your state board of health might be blocking access to a life-saving alternative treatment

Access denied

“Access Denied.” That’s the last thing you want to see when you’re trying to get something done on the Internet.

But that’s just an annoyance. Imagine getting an Access Denied response when you’re trying to get a medical treatment.

You probably won’t be surprised that it happens every day. And at least one of those treatments — chelation — can save lives.

So who’s trying to keep you away from this therapy? And why?

Out of the loop

This is what a “back door ban” looks like…

At a 2012 medical toxicology meeting, officials urged doctors to report on other doctors who use chelation. That’s right. They want them to betray their own colleagues.

If doctors rat out other doctors, they’ll do that by calling state medical boards. And many of those boards are likely to take action to suppress this FDA-approved therapy.

Mainstream doctors win. And who loses? You don’t even have to ask. Patients lose, of course.

As I’ve mentioned before, chelation therapy has been in use for decades. It’s an intravenous combination of vitamins, minerals, and an amino acid. This purges your body of heavy metals.

If that were all chelation did, it would be a remarkable therapy. But it also clears calcium deposits from artery walls.

Dr. Spreen is a longtime champion of chelation. He believes that anyone with confirmed cardiovascular disease should give this therapy serious attention.

A full chelation regimen might cost upwards of $2,000. Of course, health insurance rarely covers out-of-mainstream therapy. And yet, insurance WILL pay for a $50,000 heart surgery bill.

And right there is the key to the chelation “problem.”

State medical boards regulate medical practices. But they also protect the mainstream status quo.

So when it comes to a decision between alternative or conventional care, you know which way that’s going to go. Heart specialists and medical boards would rather you have a bypass operation or a stent inserted in a vein.

In Kentucky, for instance, the state medical board can revoke the license of any M.D. who even talks to a patient about chelation. Many other states are similarly strict. The medical boards operate like little fiefdoms. There’s virtually no recourse. A doctor has to follow the rules, or leave the state.

If you have CVD and want to investigate chelation, Dr. Spreen recommends checking with the American College for Advancement in Medicine (acamnet.org).

Dr. Spreen: “ACAM physicians are the pioneers of chelation therapy. They’re by far the most skilled and qualified doctors to do these procedures. I’d recommend a trip to their website before going under the knife.”

Hopefully you live in a state that still allows you to make that choice.
