EDTA chelation is a therapy by which repeated administrations of a weak
synthetic amino acid (EDTA, ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid) related to
vinegar gradually reduce atherosclerotic plaque and other mineral deposits
throughout the cardiovascular system by literally dissolving them away. EDTA
was developed by the Germans in 1931 to reverse heavy-metal poisoning from
the ingestion of lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, and more.
The word "chelation" starts with the Greek Root of this word -chele.
Chele, in Greek, means the claw part of a crab or lobster. So,
"chele" refers to a grabbing action.
EDTA chelation has frequently been compared to a "Roto-Rooter" in the cardiovascular
system, because it removes plaque and returns the arterial system to a smooth, healthy,
pre-atherosclerotic state. This is probably not the best metaphor, since Roto-Rooter
violently scrapes deposits off the interior surfaces of your plumbing with a rapidly
rotating blade, EDTA chelation simply dissolves them away.
EDTA has a chemical and physical characteristic - not quite like a magnetic attraction
- that it is attracted to heavy particles. When there is EDTA in your blood stream, and
some heavy particle (such as a particle of lead, mercury, iron, etc.) the EDTA and the
heavy particle come together, and the EDTA coats the heavy particle. Since the EDTA is
an artificial amino acid, and since the body regards it as a foreign substance, the body
eliminates the entire particle - the heavy particle coated with EDTA. The body can't tell
that underneath the coating is some material which the body might be willing to keep even
hough it is harmful to the body. So, this coated particle (EDTA coated over some heavy
particle) gets sent to the kidney is eliminated from the body through the urine.
EDTA chelation has a rejuvenating effect on
the body, slowing down the biological clock of aging because of its powerful anti-oxidant,
free-radical scavenging ability. It also has been found to have a wide range of positive
results in many other health conditions.
Cardiovascular disease is today's No. 1 killer. EDTA chelation can be the solution to
many people's health problems, because it cleans out the cardiovascular system not only
of heavy metals, but also of the plaque and calcium that restricts and impedes the flow
of blood and oxygen to the organs and extremities. In an 18-year study, Dr. Walter Blumer
of Switzerland used EDTA chelation to reduce the incidence of heart disease and cancer in
his patients by 80 percent.
EDTA chelation offers a solution for reversing osteoporosis or bone loss. Through a
complex action of the parathyroid gland, EDTA actually stimulates bone growth. Thus,
while it's removing calcium from plaque in blood vessels, EDTA has the ability to make
bones stronger and denser. Women have reported the reversal of bone loss in as little
as two months using EDTA chelation.
Those with diabetes can benefit from EDTA chelation, as it has produced great results
in diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, cataracts and floaters. EDTA chelation
also is effective at preventing diabetic gangrene by restoring blood flow and circulation
to the body extremities and appendages.
