Hello ,There is no scientific data that chelation the rayna helps ,
Rather all the scientific bodies in the world including India , USA and Europe has warned against the use of chelation the rayna as it can cause gross side effects that can adversely affect the Kidney and can lead to kidney shutdown .
So if as an cardiologist I have to suggest it to the my patient , chelation therapy Is a strict NO.
Regards Dr. Mody
