EDTA Chelation: Helps Prevent Serious Illnesses
In alternative and mainstream
medicine, there is a therapy trusted to treat poisoning from metals
like iron, lead and mercury: EDTA chelation. It is estimated that
roughly 1 million people in the United States have treated poisoning
from lead and mercury with EDTA chelation. To remove the lead and
mercury poisoning, EDTA chelation uses a chemical substance to bind
the metals in order to expel them from the body through urine. The
word chelate is derived from the Greek root “chele”
which means “to claw.” Appropriate, considering that
is essentially what the EDTA chelation process does to metals and
minerals like mercury, lead and arsenic; it claws them together
and spits them out.
When patients are treating poisonings from metals like arsenic,
lead and mercury, EDTA chelation is performed by inserting a needle
into the patient’s vein. This needle is attached to an IV
drip filled with EDTA, ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid. Treating
mercury poisoning with EDTA chelation lasts about three hours, and
the entire process can take up to 30 sessions in a span of a few
weeks.
For treatments of excess metals like iron and mercury, EDTA chelation
is often administered along with magnesium and vitamins B and C.
Since EDTA is a man-made amino acid, some believe that it could
possibly deplete the body of essential nutrients like vitamins B,
C, and magnesium. When patients undergo treatments for lead, iron
and mercury poisoning with EDTA chelation, they can experience some
side effects, including a burning sensation where the needle was
inserted, low blood sugar, headaches and nausea. More serious side
effects include kidney failure, organ damage, seizures and even
death.
