Was the published 10-year study of the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy accurate in predicting an 18% benefit? Or was the trial interfered with to underestimate potential benefits?

Unfortunately, the latter is the case. We have cautioned you before in other settings to be careful about accepting the results of even well-controlled clinical trials, especially when the problem being studied is one affecting a large percentage of the population, and heart disease certainly is in that category. This is the kind of arena where the interlopers work at blocking human advances in knowledge and technology to devise better treatments. They will confound interpretation of clinical studies through numerous strategies influencing the investigators to accept a faulty design that will undercut the validity, come publication time. They will manipulate actual patients under study to worsen their health situation in the treatment arm to offset any benefit of the therapeutic treatment compared to a placebo control group. They will bias the selection of patients to make it a faulty comparison of apples and oranges. There are many ways this can be done using their ability to influencing things from a distance and unfortunately, there is no way to be sure of any particular investigation and whether it is sound. That is the sad reality of human existence and the state of affairs in many fields of endeavor depending on rigorous scientific research. This is the most compelling reason to believe what we are saying about oral chelation therapy. It can be just as effective as IV therapy and is actually safer in the bargain, and will be significantly more effective than the clinical data show on an individual basis, because the interlopers will not typically take the time and trouble to interfere with an individual with a health problem unless it is high value target and it has come to their attention a person is counting on a particular intervention to save them. That is unlikely to happen with your client you are asking about. So at the moment, the coast is clear to make a recommendation to her, and that is why you sought this information and are taking a serious interest.
