Physicians have been preoccupied with treating Rheumatoid Arthritis by suppressing the immune system. In December, 2008, a European task force concluded that patients with RA have similar risks for cardiovascular disease as those with Diabetes. This is a major risk that has been ignored or perhaps been even increased by the therapy given. There have been reports that reducing heavy metals by chelation therapy might be useful for both RA and cardiovascular diseases. Such an approach might be more rational, considering these research findings.
