"Oral chelation" is a term that describes a vitamin formula which will
grab toxic metals in your body, get them to pass through the kidneys and
eliminate them through the urine.
The human body often contains, as a result of the toxic environment we
live in, microscopic pieces of heavy metal, such as mercury (from your
fillings) or lead, or even iron. These tiny pieces of metal are like time
bombs, waiting to cause trouble and they are highly toxic. While generally
overlooked by traditional medicine, these traces of heavy metals in our bodies
probably cause and aggravate most health conditions, including heart disease
and cancer. Oral chelation was first used to treat lead poisoning.
How does oral chelation benefit the arteries?
When the cells inside your arteries are damaged by free radicals they
don't always die instantly. Often they get weak. When they get weaker,
they lose some of their ability to get rid of toxins, primarily calcium
(which is toxic to arteries but obviously not toxic to bones). If the
cell inside the artery can't get rid of calcium, and calcium accumulates
inside the cell. After a while, the cell dies. At that point the cell
could be said to be "calcified." It is mostly calcium.
Calcium is strongly attracted electromagnetically by the open-ended molecular
structure of EDTA (ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid) - a weak synthetic amino
acid - that is circulating in the blood during the oral chelation treatment. This
results in the calcium ion being incorporated into the EDTA molecular structure,
forming a closed ring. When this process takes place, the metal is said to be chelated,
and EDTA is termed the chelating agent.
When calcium (or other divalent metals
such as lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, etc.) is chelated by EDTA, the original
electromagnetic attraction is lost, and the fatty debris is dissolved by circulating
blood and metabolized. The calcium-EDTA molecule, now inactive and non-toxic, is
carried by the blood until it passes through the kidneys. It then is removed from
the body via the urine.
The solid sticky plaque goes into solution and is harmlessly removed. By the unique
mechanism of oral chelation, dangerous solids are converted to a liquid, then transported
away to be eliminated. This is a natural, normal phenomenon of body chemistry. With the
calcium removed, the arteries become flexible again, and the passage is larger, allowing
more blood to flow.
The proven benefits of oral chelation
Norman E. Clarke, Sr., M.D., a cardiologist at Providence Hospital in Detroit, was
the first American to discover the many beneficial effects of oral chelation. When
he treated battery factory workers for lead poisoning, they reported relief of their
symptoms of chest pain (angina), arthritis and intermittent claudication (severe leg
pain due to plugged arteries in the legs), as well as their symptoms of lead poisoning.
