Hi Duncan, I see Bob mentioned cleaning ones pipes of plaque by using IV chelation. Do you have any info on oral chelation doing the same thing. I have been toying with getting IV chelation because I have high blood pressure and assume it's from hardening of the arteries. If oral will do it, I would rather go that way but don't want to waste money if it won't work as well or not at all. Metal removal is not what I'm after.
