If by quacks you mean doctors with 30+ years of experience, well, I love those doctors especially those with a passion for biology and chemistry. They are starting to awaken and write books now that they can not be cancelled for no longer blindly following dogmatism that has caused the medical industry to stagnate for decades. By this point in their career they have paid off all their debts and are no longer required to bow to the master. My most recent purchase was "Disolving Illusions" by Susanne Humphries, MD. It's a great read. Mainstream doctors refer to her as a quack but in reality they see her as a threat or they would just ignore her.
I don't want to get into an hours long debate about this and you sound quite sold on the treatment. But, there is legitimate chelation therapy for people with real heavy metal poisoning and there is a pseudoscience treatment sold as a type of cure all for imaginary problems and removing "toxins".
The methods being described in the articles are not what I have been doing. Those are for acute high dose metal poisoning and are very dangerous even when they are truly required. Even the oral versions I use warn not to use them long term for the reasons stated in the articles. If people are getting IV high dose chelation as a method of therapy then yes I would agree that is dangerous and reckless behavior of whatever doctors are doing this. That would be akin to getting TPA shots for therapeutic reduction of arterial plaque.
I used my methods on and off watching my BP over a period of time and watched for the valley floor.
It is a combo of the economics, and the need to do something, anything - they encourage quackery. ~10k fine when a doctor trained as a gp killed a kid with chellation, along with a temporarily suspended license. A GP isn't trained on administering chelation, iiuc. I encourage you to get a second and third opinion from people who administer chelation in a hospital setting
I appreciate you offering the advice but I know from experience I will just get blank stares and overly confident statements when I am doing something outside of the lines that GP's must color within. Throughout the years I have had mostly good results after I have completed enough of my own research with the occasional small mishaps that I also learned from and in some cases even led me down new rabbit holes. I have kept my margin of error small enough over the decades that I have not ended up in a medical facility. I would encourage GP's to not give up on learning new things even if they can mostly apply them in their personal lives and rarely in a professional setting.
Something must give sooner than later as the USA is spending far too much money to get piss poor results. This system will eventually implode on itself and people will be forced to take a similar path I have taken. I am not saying this to be mean to the medical industry but rather to encourage them to evolve and break the dogmas and financial conflicts that are holding them back even if it means spending some money to reform the legal system.
Chelation is bad for your body outside of the circumstances where you really need it, like if you were a miner or something.
