QUESTION: Do you know of any chelating centres in Queensland? 23 May 2004, Queensland Australia

I am living overseas and working in a clinic where we perform some chelation therapy for various reasons. My question is regarding my mother who lives in Bundaberg Qld. She has a long history of atherosclerosis and various vascular by-passes, would your organisation chelate a person with this kind of medical history or do you know of any chelating centres in Queensland? I know to give a definite answer you would need a thorough medical history, I was just wondering if you chelate for ischemic heart disease.
Thank you for your time.

ANSWER: 24 May 2004

Dear Wendy,
You have contacted an information and referral service specifically related to lead poisoning so I'm going to refer your question "would your organisation chelate a person with a long medical history of atherosclerosis and various vascular by-passes to ACNEM (Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine). You can contact them on mail@acnem.org or see their website at www.acnem.org or you or your mum could phone them in Melbourne on 0395896088. They would also be able to answer the question about chelating centres in Queensland (ie closer to Bundaberg) but our database contains the following Brisbane doctors who have been trained by ACNEM to carry out chelation therapy:
1. Dr Mel Sydney-Smith, Brisbane QLD 4000, ph 0733696555
2. Dr Barry Ryan, Lutwyche QLD 4030, 0733576744
3. Dr Philip Stowell, The Grange QLD 4051, 0738562955
4. Dr Scott Powell, Cleveland QLD 4163, 0738213844
5. Dr Catherine Bartholomew, Norman Park QLD 4170, 0732642622
Yours Sincerely
Elizabeth O'Brien
