Can EDTA And Nattokinase Cure Recurred Minor Angina?
Question: I am a 93 yr. old male and Ten years ago I had 2 stents put into my left coronary as a result of Angina. Minor Angina has reoccurred and an Angiogram has been planned. Can any present occlusion be cleared by the use of supplements , such as EDTA, Nattokinase, and CoQ10? Should I precede with another Angiogram?
Brief Answer:
Go for angio
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Angiogram and intervention (stent) is the only approach scientifically proved/ time tested / corroborated… That is the gold standard against which other procedures are compared.
You have had the procedure before / people have undergone major surgeries at this age / there is no fear or reason to reconsider...
None of the others can supplement or supplant the angioplasty / they are all empirical and scientifically tested for validity
It may be risky and waste of precious time in opting for unproved approaches…
Take care
God bless

I would like to know if the supplements I mentioned have worked when used by alternative Medicine MD's. Do you know if that can be true? Do you have personal knowledge of this? Can conventional Medicine not be up-to-date on some procedures that are successful?
Brief Answer:
I am not convinced
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have had a handful of patients, who had opted for EDTA / had no benefit / and returned to have angioplasty
They may be harmless, but useless in my judgment. I will not undergo / I do not recommend such treatments.
The latest edition of the standard text book (Hurst) on Heart has its last chapter on Complementary and Alternative Medicine / and does not recommend them. They are small samples, not confirmed by other colleagues / no double blind studies and so on… if so, should it not have replaced the invasive procedures? None of my friends or family members have had it – despite being hard core enthusiasts (one of my in-laws had a doctorate and working there, is being treated by me!)
Conventional medicine is peer reviewed and is the best under present circumstances... The choice is yours
