But it certainly isn't going to start dissolving calcification on the artery walls. That is a snake oil story. Your stent is likely the best treatment for that, and it has been proven to work since it opens up the artery, or is suppose to, even though the calcification is still there. The only way to remove calcification of the artery is to surgically remove it, and that is high risk so only in certain conditions or situations will something like that be undertaken. Otherwise, a stent or bypass operation is less risky and typically very successful.

But again, the lifestyle and nutrition part of Dean's program is good.
