Chelation Therapy Has Been Approved by the Fda as a Treatment for Lead Poisoning

May 20th, 2011

chelation therapy is a natural way to detoxify the body of toxic chemical and harmful metals (heavy metal poisoning). Chelation therapy involves the injection of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). It is a mean by which an organic substance (Edta) binds to minerals and ionized metals (electrically charged) such as iron, calcium, lead, copper, etc.

The first use of Chelation is in Germany in 1930. A decade later, EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic) was used by some American workers suffering from lead poisoning. After many medical studies, in 1950, Dr. Norman Clarke, director of Providence Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, noted the treatment with EDTA can improve or restore health from many diseases. These improvements include, but are not limited to reduction in angina pain, decrease skin diseases, loss and keeping a normal weight, decrease in heart disease, improving memory faculties and urgency of the senses (sight, hearing, smell), increased energy, etc.

In USA, Chelation therapy with EDTA has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for lead poisoning only. However, since heavy metals poisoning can be responsible for major diseases, in alternative therapy, it is used to treat heart disease, cancer, gangrene, thyroid disorders, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, psoriasis, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and the improvement of memory, sight, hearing, and smell.

Chelation therapy and the Conventional Medicine

In addition to the detoxification of the body, recent scientific studies in the conventional medicine confirm the positive effects of chelation therapy in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, this discovery is yet refuted by many scientists. In 2003, National Institutes of Health (NIH) has decided to undertake a comprehensive study for five years to assess the effectiveness of chelation therapy in more than 2 500 people surviving a heart attack. Since we are in 2008, the last year of this study, very soon, we will have the result. In the meantime, many patients continue to claim the benefits of chelation therapy in their life.

Chelation therapy and cancer

According to Journal of Advancement in Medicine, “Mortality from cancer was reduced 90% during an 18-year follow-up of 59 patients treated with Calcium-EDTA. Only one of 59 treated patients (1.7%) died of cancer while 30 of 172 non treated control subjects (17.6%) died of cancer (P=0.002). Death from artherosclerosis was also reduced. Treated patients had no evidence of cancer at the time of entry into this study.” To learn more, visit our chelation therapy website.

Heart Diseases—how to Treat Heart Diseases With Chelation Therapy

March 18th, 2011

As we mentioned in the previous articles, heart diseases are caused by uncontrolled diets high in saturated and trans fats resulting in arteries being clogged up by bad cholesterol LDL and the inner lining of blood vessels being damaged impeding the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart.

People with heart diseases using this type of therapy must be carefully selected and approved by their doctors. The prime candidate is people at their 40′s and people already suffering from advanced forms of heart disease such as angina and intermittent claudication, because the people in this age group will experience some form of heart disease caused by excessive cholesterol intake and build up of calcium, scar tissues and fat within the arteries.

This form of chelation therapy includes the usage of an IV apparatus and EDTA that is a widely used abbreviation for the chemical compound ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. EDTA, the chelation agent, not only helps to clean the harmful substances such as lead, uranium, nickel and calcium deposited in the arterial wall but also improves circulation, enhances the immune system and inhibits the creation of free radical. With the slow flow of EDTA from the bottle through the IV and finally into the patient’s vein and bloodstream results in turning back the clock for many potential heart disease victims. Chelation therapy is not only helpful as an attractive alternative to bypass surgery, but also has the ability to improve the function of the brain, since this form of therapy is especially helpful in treating arterial blockage in the upper body.

Other benefits of chelation therapy include: reduction of liver-produced cholesterol, lowered cholesterol levels, reducing high blood pressure, and fewer excessive heart contractions.
With all the success in chelation therapy, it also produces some side effects for some people such as headaches, diarrhea, fainting, fatigues, fever, and cramps. Be sure you understand all these problems before taking chelation therapy.

Oral Chelation: Key to a Healthy Heart

March 8th, 2011

Reading the statistics for heart disease in Western societies is alarming. Oral chelation is an effective detoxification treatment to eliminate one of its major causes. High blood pressure is the first indication of plaque build-up inside the heart arteries that leads to nearly 30% of all the deaths in America. This condition along with lack of exercise and smoking has made cardiovascular disease more of a threat to life than cancer.

Doctors use the term “cardiovascular disease” for any condition affecting the circulatory system. One of the main factors in heart disease, atherosclerosis or “hardening of the arteries” results from excess plaque and that adheres to the wall of the blood vessel, constricting blood flow and in turn making the heart work harder. Plaque contains heavy metals, “LDL” the cholesterol and excess fatty acids. These elements contain properties that corrode the arterial wall, creating deposit areas for plaque.

Plaque is formed by calcium carbonate, a non-water soluble mineral, that contains metal, limits the absorption of oxygen, vitamins, enzymes and minerals, leads to heart disease and can cause a blood clot to form which can trigger a heart attack. To restore proper blood flow, the surgical procedure of “angioplasty” can be performed: the insertion of a “balloon” to expand the artery and the placement of a “stent” to retain the opening is used.

However, heart surgery doesn’t address the root of the problem. Elimination of plaque and its heavy metals can be achieved by oral chelation. Chelation therapy is a detoxification process that binds harmful substances in the bloodstream to be flushed from the body through the urine.

Chelation therapy was developed in the 1950’s and has been refined over time. The appropriate form of the chelating agent “EDTA” (EthyleneDiamine Tetra-acetic Acid) that could be easily absorbed by the body was discovered in 1984 by Harry W. Hersey. Instead an intravenous solution, a liquid and soft-gel formula is now available. As easy to take as other nutritional supplements, with the ability to be mass produced, makes oral chelation a viable and affordable alternative to heart surgery. This breakthrough formula was developed by Goldshield Elite and is distributed as the “Original Oral Chelation.”

As a detoxification regimen from heavy metals, oral chelation has proven its effectiveness. However chelating agents cannot be considered a “magic bullet” or an overnight remedy to plaque build-up in the arteries. For chelation therapy to be truly effective, lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and re-evaluation of dietary habits is advised.

Chelation Therapy Changes Lives and Saves Lives

February 24th, 2011

Chelation therapy is treatment specifically designed to help eliminate calcium build up in the arteries which causes a condition known as atherosclerosis. A high percentage of all heart disease and strokes are caused by this condition which not only hardens the arteries but encourages blockages as well. Chelation therapy has been compared to detoxification. Just as many people choose to detox their colon, chelation therapy is a method of detoxifying the arteries. Chelation therapy can also remove the heavy metals that are known to build up in the body over time. This build up can lead to a number of health complications including but not limited to the increased chance of birth defects, autism, heart and immune complications, and immunosuppressant disorders. Even some cases of autoimmune disorders like lupus have been connected to the build up of heavy metals in the body. While the primary of use of chelation therapy remains cardiac oriented, many chelation therapists are now promoting the overall health aspects that can be attained through a cleansing of the blood stream and arteries.

Patient reports are overwhelming as patients who have undergone the therapy notice improvements within a very short period of time. Many patients require nothing more than maintenance treatments once every thirty days after only one month of treatment. Considering the cost of a healthy heart and the amazing potential that this ultra-powerful treatment offers, the cost is relatively nominal. Many patients find that after one month of treatment they have paid less than they would for the co-pay on their pharmaceutical medication adds up to in just one short year.

Chelation therapy includes chelating agents that are usually intravenously administered which then break down and literally absorb the chemical build up in the body that is such a great risk to health. In order to safeguard health and of course get the true and enduring benefits from chelation therapy, it is highly recommended that any patient considering receiving the treatment be seen by a professional chelation therapist. At proper doses, chelation therapy is considered as safe as any other medical procedure with the same basic side effect warnings. In many cases it can be safer than the chronic use of medications designed to treat the same conditions.

Patients who have experienced failure in proven results from traditional medicines have turned to chelation therapy as a new alternative medicine. However, chelating agents have been successfully helping patients lead healthier and more productive lives for more than thirty years. With proper treatment, many patients are considered fully recovered after one round (which usually lasts about a month) of treatment. Chelation therapy has offered thousands of cardiac patients and those suffering from heavy metal effects a new lease on life.

Edta Chelation Therapy Eases the Heart and Offers Peace to Patients

January 12th, 2011

When faced with a serious heart condition having options such as EDTA chelation therapy allows patients a wider variety of choices. Those who are choosing to go with a treatment round of EDTA chelation therapy have found that their results are better than expected and much improved over the time they spend with their physician. Of course, a heart condition is serious business and no one should spend their time and energy on a treatment that offers little to no hope of improvement, which is why EDTA chelation therapy is becoming such a popular choice. Many patients want to do more than take daily medication for the rest of their lives and live in the face of open heart surgery.

Many patients found themselves without their usual symptoms within a very short period of time, often within seven to twenty days of the beginning of treatment. When the ticker is struggling, the last thing any patient wants to do is take too much time determining what the best course of action might be. With such clear cut and obvious results no patient needs to wait more than a month to determine if positive changes are occurring. With such a rapid turn around time, patients feel rather confident that their health is under their control and that they have options that offer them immediate or near immediate feedback.

The majority of patients that entered EDTA chelation therapy over the past ten years were patients that were dealing with serious health issues related to their heart or related to heavy metal toxicity that had been undergoing more traditional methods of treatment. These patients often found that traditional medicine was slow, unpredictable, and often yielded results that were mottled at best and ambiguous when it came to determining the level of effectiveness. However, recent history has shown a different picture as the popularity of EDTA chelation therapy has increased. The health care industry is letting patients down and they are falling hard. Rather than try more invasive and risky procedures at the drop of a hat, patients are now seeking new and more personally accountable methods of finding the treatment that they need. By turning to EDTA chelation therapy, a very high number of patients are reporting the single largest indicating factor in determining health-they feel better. Feeling better is such an intricate part of managing health that it is invariably the highest of importance. When patients feel good, they take better care of themselves and they work toward health. When patients feel ill, they often travel toward illness and make decisions based on illness.

The patients who have benefited from EDTA chelation therapy will tell other patients without hesitation that the research, the effort, and the thirty days to know for sure whether there has been significant progression in health is absolutely worth it when compared with other options that cardiac patients face. When the cardiovascular system is in need of some attention EDTA chelation therapy is the path that is paved with healthy outcomes.
