chelation therapy

[tonchitoRN]

i was recently hired to work in an alternative health clinic. they just got a new doctor and are trying to promote chelation therapy. i have been trying to do some research about the how-to's re: safe administration since i am not familiar with the procedure. is there anyone out there with any info.?

one of the sites i read said the doctor should be on the premises at all times during chelation therapy. this doctor will only be coming to the clinic 2x / week and apparently will not be available on the other days. according to him the chelations are safe to administer without the doctor being on the premises. i am skeptical. any ideas?

jnette - don't leave. your insights are valuable. i have learned that most of alt. medicine is poo poo'd because there is no money for the pharmaceutical companies to make. i have seen several patients benefit from several different therapies of alt. medicine i.e. chelation therapy, iv vitamin c, iv hydrogen peroxide. like any therapy or medication it must be done correctly or it can hurt someone. there was a time when leeches were considered ancient yet i hear now they are being used in conventional medicine.

patient come from all over the state even one from canada to this alt. medicine clinic. if it did nothing for them they would not come. so i think their testimonials say something positive.

there was a time when chiropractors, accupuncturists, massage therapists, touch therapists were shunned. now they are mainstream. it is only a matter of time.
