Chelation therapy is a practice in which the patients are administered with certain chemicals to remove the toxins in their body. The most widely accepted chelating agent is EDTA. EDTA stands for Ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetate. Repeated administrations of EDTA reduce the plaque and other mineral deposits by gradually dissolving them away. Studies have shown that EDTA chelation has implausible effectiveness and it results in increased production of oxygen free radicals. EDTA chelation is also termed as the real Miracle Therapy for Vascular Diseases.
EDTA chelation is the most effective, cheap and safest treatment for heart diseases known so far. Yet it is being practiced by very few physicians. Even though EDTA saves more lives than conventional methods, it is still not promoted much. Not many government agencies and medical bodies support chelation. EDTA is very effective in the removal of unwanted toxins from the blood. That is why it has been approved by the FDA for treating metal poisoning for more than 5 decades. It balances the distribution of metallic elements throughout the body. EDTA is also used in stabilizing packaged food because it is so safe. Minute amounts of it are added so as to preserve the flavour and colour. It inhibits blood clots as well and improves metabolism by removing harmful catalysts that damage the cell membranes.
Chelation therapy is of two types. It is either intravenous or it is oral. Oral chelation therapy mainly makes use of tablets, but sprays, powders and suppositories are also available as alternatives. Chelation supplements include vitamin C and mineral. Sometimes it is necessary to take these supplements along with the chelation tablet. Ingredients of an oral chelation product include EDTA, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B, Folic acid, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, and Selenium.
A question about safety always arises when going for a treatment. EDTA is a safe and a nontoxic substance. Although the FDA refuses to approve it for treating vascular disease, it still has been the approved treatment for heavy metal poisoning. Recent knowledge and studies have proved that chelation is much safer than CABG surgery. Its side effects involve minor discomforts that could be resolved quickly. Extreme of anything is bad. Likewise, greater risks take place when infusion is given in too large a dose. If taken in appropriate quantities, all these risks fade away.
