Chelation Story

Hello again. I have recently written an article about “Natural Artery Cleaners on the main web site. This is an update to alert those people who are reading the blog. This seems to be necessary due to the way Google searches and catalogs pages.

Here is the link. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oral chelation with EDTA is known and approved by the FDA for removing both the minerals lead and cadmium both toxic to the body. The EDTA removes the minerals from your body through your urinary tract. Even a slightly increased lead level raises your chance of death by 46 percent? In a study article an analysis which lasted 16 years and had 4,292 people in ages from 30 to 74 years. It was found that 15% of the subjects had a slightly elevated blood lead level. This is statistical the same as 15% of the total US population. Among these people with slightly elevated blood lead levels there was a 46 percent increased death rate (all-cause mortality) compared to those with completely “normal” blood lead levels.

Any detectable lead level is a risk to your health! In other words there is no safe lead levels.Another study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported a consistent and direct correlation with blood lead levels in children and their worsening IQ levels in the age category of three years to five years old. The study researchers concluded with saying, “These findings suggest that more U.S. children may be adversely affected by environmental lead than previously estimated.”

Oral Chelation Results In Just One Day Of EDTA The University of Michigan recently had a large conference on the subject of toxic heavy metals. Along with the overwhelming evidence of the benefits of chelation for a wide range of conditions, a study on oral chelation was presented showing the heavy metal urine analyses on 14 patients ages 29 to 73, before and after only one dose of an oral chelation EDTA product. Results showed a significant excretion of all six of the toxic heavy metals most commonly encountered. Here are the average percentages of heavy metal excretion increases in the 14 patients after just one day of oral EDTA: Aluminum: 229 percent; Arsenic: 661 percent; Cadmium: 276 percent; Lead: 350 percent; Mercury: 773 percent; and Nickel: 9,439 percent! So please don’t be scared into thinking that oral chelation is a “health hazard” because you may lose some trace elements along with the toxic ones.

It is true that EDTA can also cause you to lose the important trace minerals zinc and calcium if you don’t get enough in your diet. That is why the simple recommendation to supplement with zinc and calcium or a good multi mineral and multi vitamin when you are doing oral chelation has proven to more than make up for this trace mineral excretion. Essentially, the potential of trace mineral depletion of any consequence to your health is minimal according to the research by Dow Chemical and also a report published in Food Chemical Toxicology. This is one of the most asked questions by customers of oral chelation.

Oral EDTA Actually Increases Some Minerals Bio-availablity Also EDTA appears not to deplete the trace minerals cobalt, chromium, and copper. Fortunately, EDTA causes a slight retention of the beneficial trace mineral magnesium. Other research shows that trace minerals become even more bio-available with oral EDTA. The National Institutes of Health and Office of Dietary Supplements Bioavailability Conference, the ENVIRON International Corporation’s report regarding mineral absorption revealed that EDTA is a dietary factor that enhances the absorption of zinc with protein, cysteine, citrate, and methionine.

Many people (“doctors”) make the statement, “EDTA is not recommended for oral use” because of the claim it takes out dangerous amounts of trace minerals is to say the least, seemingly not correct. This is the same thing as saying do not eat fruits and vegetables because you might consume pesticides. It is just like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

There are over 120 recent papers and studies showing that EDTA is beneficial to cardio vascular health. This is something I have been trying to show you my readers for many years now. EDTA is safe and it is effective. It is inexpensive and it sure beats surgery and drug side effects. It cured my vascular disease and with a change in the food I consume it has not returned. Main stream medicine is going to fight this for years because of all the money involved but eventually the Alternative Medicine doctors like Rowan and Cutler will win the day and more and more people will be introduced to oral chelation therapy.

Until recently there has been three options for clearing clogged arteries.

• By Pass Surgery
• Angioplasty
• Chelation Therapy

The first two are dangerous, painful and expensive. The third chelation therapy has been the standard for clearing clogged arteries of both heavy metals and plaque. But now there are other methods which have been used for a long while but now scientific eviedence has shown that certain foods are a very powerful chelators.

In recent studies pomegranate juice has been shown to clear existing plaque by as much as 35%. As you know sometimes it only takes reducing plaque by a small percentage to reduce symptoms to a tolerable level. So reducing plaque by 35% is a giant step forward for those people who have vascular disease.

In the study research doctors gave one half the patients a shot glass ( 1.7 oz.) per day of pomegranate juice and one half the people pomegranate flavored water. This study was a well designed placebo controlled study just the kind the scientists like. Niether group changed any other habits or made any life style changes. The only change and addition was drinking the juice. Throughout the study the doctors measured the patients arteries using the most modern ultra sound equipment.

The people drinking the flavored water had a slight increase in plaque the people drinking pomegranate juice had a decrease. It was not just a slight decrease either it was a whopping 13% in three months and after a year it reached 35%. Folks this is not only significant it is astounding. Imagine that you have either peripheral vascular disease or clogged arteries in your heart and by simply changing your diet slightly you can get rid of 35% of your plaque in a year. That is one third of the plaque. Your symptoms would go away and many 1000′s of people would be considered to be medically clear. Remember if your arteries are less than 50% clogged you are considered medically to be OK!

I have been doing health research now since 1980 and the research shows more clearly everyday that good food is the answer to good health. You cannot find optimal health in 90% of fast food restaurants nor can you find it in a box or a can. Processed foods are killing everyone and good food is bringing them back. We are still all going to die however, you cab live longer and stronger with a wide variety of good healthy food.

As you will see in the photo the wound has been completely healed. It took about 15 days to get this far. As I previously said that may not seem like much to some readers but it is a miracle to me. The lower photo is from a little different angle. As you see in this photo there is a toe missing and you can also see the large scar of a open wound on the right side of my foot. This foot ulcer was open for over two years and during that time I also lost the little toe as you can see. Diet change and chelation therapy both IV and oral has made the miracle you see in the healed wound possible. That foot ulcer started just like the small wound you see in the photo. When your circulation is very bad the wounds do not heal and readily become infected and grow. Today there is much better wound healing procedures but the best is EDTA chelation therapy and good diet. You can do any of the other procedures but EDTA still does the job of reducing symptoms and diet actually gives the body the nutrients and the body does the healing. No matter what procedures you use without diet change it all will return and you might have to start all over.

Question: Dear Dan–Thanks again for taking the time to write me! My husband started out with one week of 2 capsules of EDTA twice aday–just to see how he did with it–now he is taking 4 capsules 2 times a day. So, would you recommend 1-2 more weeks of this, then rest for 2 weeks or so, then start with maintenance? A what is the maintenance dose and for how long? Plus, when you were doing th IV chelation–how long did you wait after to start to begin your maintenance dose again? Guess there is no worry of overdosing on the stuff? or get EDTA poisoning? Ralph does seem to be feeling better–no chest pain for about a week or more–he was having twinges daily–and his energy level is better. We are both hopeful! Thank you Dan! Good luck with the nutritional supplement product you are developing! Nancy

Answer: Please do not let him stop taking the Edta. Take one bottle at 8 caps per day. When done with bottle one stop taking for one week. Then take another bottle and repeat until all 4 bottles are gone. That is the problem with most people they stop taking it way to soon.

Your husband had chest pain when he started and it has let up. This is just a slight gain but he is on the track.

How is his diet. How many servings of raw fruit and vegetables does he get a day?

Dan

Dear Readers The question and answer above is typical of many I get. If you have clogged vessels in the legs, arms or around the heart EDTA is not a fast fix. It takes a great deal of time and energy to heal something that has progressed that far. It took me years to completely heal my vascular disease but I did it. EDTA will help get the plaque and heavy metals out of your body. It will do it in quantities that will improve your condition like the one above. However, you are improved not anywhere near good health. This is why I stress diet so much. Without the proper nutrients your body will never heal itself.
