Re: Chelation Therapy and Gleevec

[Guest guest]

Hi Margot,

Thank you very much for this information. It's very

important for me. I think also that the chelation therapy with the

wrong dosage can really damage the kidney.

However, Dr Wittel said to me that he had treated

patients with chelation ( very very cautiously) who had creatinins up

to 350. that one came back to below 200 and did not have to go for

dialysis. He also treated a man aged 75 who was on Gleevec and

tolerated very well the chelation therapy. Dr Wittel tell me the good

experience but I am sure that he had bad experience too.

I want to know the persons who had bad experience with the

chelation therapy (ex; damage to the kidney or interaction with

Gleevec). I a sure that there are too some people who had good

experience.

I will check this out with cardiologist, hematologist and

nephrologist. Before 2003, I have a good health. Since I took VIOXX,

I discovered hypertension and high creatinine rate. Few month later,

I had a atrial fibrillation and after CML.

I appreciated very much your intervention.

Gilles: I cannot speak to the above subject from personal

experience. I always thought chelation was a lifesaver. However, a

friend of ours who was put on chelation for heart problems and has

been on it for several years, suddenly finds himself on 3 times a

week dialysis. I could not find out the reason, other than that some

of the medications he had to take probably caused it. Nevertheless,

after hearing this, I would strongly advise you to check this out in

much detail with all the doctors you work with, as it has

really caused me to get concerned.
