| Alternative Names: Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid.. Despite what you might have heard about chelation therapy, when administered by a properly-trained physician and given in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary changes incorporating specialized nutritional supplements, the procedure is an option to be seriously considered by any person suffering from coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular disease, brain disorders resulting from circulatory disturbances, generalized atherosclerosis and related ailments which lead to senility and accelerated physical decline. In many patients, the smallest blood vessels are the most severely diseased. Function Chelation (key-lay-shun) is a chemical process by which a metal or mineral (such as lead, mercury, copper, arsenic, aluminum, calcium) is bonded to another substance and subsequently voided from the body. The EDTA in solution bonds with metals in the body and carries them away in the urine. Being "chelated" is quite a different experience from other medical treatments. There is no pain and, in most cases, very little discomfort. After several months these injections bring profound improvement to many metabolic and physiologic processes in the body. By comparison, the overall death rate as a direct result of bypass surgery is approximately 3 out of every 100 patients, varying with the hospital and the operating team. The incidence of other serious complications following surgery is much higher, including heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, permanent brain damage with personality changes and prolonged pain. Some temporarily experience mild nausea, dizziness, or headache as an immediate aftermath of treatment, but in the vast majority of cases these minor symptoms are easily relieved. Reports of serious and even rare fatal complications have stemmed from excessive doses of EDTA, improperly administered. A physician who has successfully completed the ACAM courses is knowledgeable in the safe and effective use of EDTA chelation therapy. |
