High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

The ND from whom I'm getting chelation was one of the investigators in the TACT study. It was better than equivocal, but their target was a bit different that this. NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS. If we're trying to decalcify our coronaries in the absence of significant atheroma load, then we're a different cohort than those in the TACT study. And even if we could achieve some degree of decalcification of our coronaries, how does that translate into survival? NO ONE KNOWS. In my case, I just feel driven to do something instead of nothing (to decalcify). When I drop dead, if I have a moment to reflect, I want to know that I gave it my best shot (given no real data - only reasoning from basic principles). Life - whaddya gonna do??

Thank you, Tim and Bluesdoc. Very difficult choice. I do feel the way Bluesdoc does. Bluesdoc, you are part way through your course of chelation. When you complete it, do you plan to go for another CAC score? If so, would you be willing to share the results with me? I would await your findings. I realize it would be an n of 1, but it would be helpful to me to know how you fared with chelation.
