A friend of mine in High School's grandfather head a treatment in the '60s for clogged arteries. It took him two months of IV's (Every day for the first week then once a week after that) to clear it up. The treatment has not been approved for mainstream use in the US yet for the same reason. I know of A doctor here in town offering it, and I know of several guys who where "terminal" that now are clear and free (One of which had to go back every week for a year. . . . but hey he says he feels better than he has in the last 30 years)
Insurance companies won't way for it. And Doctors say it doesn't work. I know of ALOT of people it worked on.
Why wouldn't they approve it you ask? The treatment (That coincedently was created in WWII to treat lead poisoning in ship painters) was developed by the government. The Doctors who DO perform it consider it to be overpriced because of limited usage. . . . it costs $100 a treatment. . . . lets see for a terminal case for someone like my friend? 2 weeks of every day ($1400) then once a week for a year afterwards ($5200) = $6700. . . . . And heart surgery or angiooplasty costs what? $130k + ?? Yeah I bet it ain't proven yet. . . .

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
