Chelation
Chelation is a treatment by which a small amino acid ethylene diamine tetraacetic
acid (commonly abbreviated EDTA) is slowly administered to a patient intravenously
over several hours, prescribed by and under the supervision of a licensed physician.
The EDTA infusion bonds with heavy metals calcium deposits, fibrin and free radicals
that line the arterial wall and quickly carries them away through the kidney. Abnormally
situated nutritional metals, such as iron, along with toxic elements such as lead,
mercury and aluminum are also removed by EDTA chelation therapy. Normally present
minerals and trace elements which are essential for health are more tightly bound
within the body and can be maintained with a properly balanced nutritional supplement
taken during therapy.
Physicians with extensive experience in the use of chelation therapy observe dramatic improvement in the vast majority of their patients. They see angina routinely relieved; patients who suffered searing chest and leg pain when walking only a short distance are frequently able to return to normal, productive living after undergoing chelation therapy. More dramatic, is seeing diabetic ulcers and gangrenous feet clear up in a matter of weeks. Many individuals who have been told that their limbs would ned to be amputated because of gangrene are thrilled to watch their feet heal with chelation therapy. Nocturnal leg cramps and erectile dysfunction has been greatly improved. There is a wealth of evidence from clinical experience that symptoms of reduced blood flow improve in up to 85 percent of patients treated. More than a million patients have thus far received chelation therapy, almost as many as have undergone bypass surgery.
Chelation
Chelation therapy usually consists of anywhere from 20-50 separate infusions, depending
on each patient’s individual health status. Over a period of time, these injections
halt the progress of free radical disease. Reduction of damaging free radicals allows
diseased arteries to heal, restoring blood flow. With time chelation therapy brings
profound improvement to many essential metabolic and physiologic functions in the
body. The body’ s regulation of calcium and cholesterol is restored by normalizing
the internal chemistry of cells. Chelation has many favorable actions on the body.
EDTA Chelation Therapy, administered by a properly trained physician in conjunction
with a healthy lifestyle, diet, and nutritional supplements, is an important option.
It should be seriously considered by persons suffering from coronary artery disease,
cerebral vascular disease, generalized atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease,
heavy metal toxicity and related ailments which can lead to Alzheimer’s, stroke,
peripheral neuropothy, heart attack, gangrene, and accelerated physical decline.
On average, 85 percent of chelation patients improve significantly. More than 90
percent of patients receiving 35 or more chelation infusions have benefited enough
to be significantly improved with a strong sense of well being; even more so when
they follow a healthy lifestyle. Symptoms improve, blood flow to diseased organs
increases and need for prescription medication decreases. Most importantly,
the quality of life becomes more productive and enjoyable.
