Chelation - An Astounding Answer to Pain and Disability

Chelation - An Astounding Answer to Pain and Disability
In my many years of searching for the answers to difficult
health problems and in treating and coaching patients to
wellness, I discovered the underlying causes of most
degenerative diseases. Cells full of toxic substances can't
function properly because they are poisoned.

Most doctors have no clue about the poisoning of our bodies
and know even less about how to diagnose chemical and heavy
metal poisoning. Almost all medical tests either measure
what's in the blood or look at anatomy (x-rays, MRI, etc.)

Your body is so smart that it quickly moves any toxin out
of the blood to protect the organs that must keep you
alive, like the heart, lungs, kidneys and others. So it
stores toxins in the tissues. Eventually the toxin level
gets so high that you feel terrible. Your doctor takes a
blood test for heavy metals, finds none and tells you that
your blood tests are normal, "there's nothing wrong with
you" or "you just have to live with it."

I never believed those statements, so I kept searching for
answers for my patients with difficult problems.

That's when I learned that they needed to "get the lead"
out quite literally. But how do you prove they are toxic
and then how do you treat them?

Turns out that a process called chelation therapy does
both. Administer a chelating agent, then collect urine and
bowel movements and send them to the lab to test for heavy
metals. We saw a lot of lead, cadmium, nickel, aluminum
and mercury leave people's bodies.

As you clean up the cells, the tissues and organs begin to
function better and pretty soon you're feeling better.

Why is it called chelation therapy?

Chelate means "claw", to grab something and hold onto it.
In chelation therapy doctors administer EDTA, an amino acid
complex into the blood stream as an IV. As EDTA circulates
through the body it grabs toxic metals like lead, cadmium,
nickel, aluminum and even mercury, holds onto them tightly
and flushes those toxins out through the kidneys.

The IV administration assures that the EDTA reaches the
tissues that need to unload their toxic accumulations. If
you swallow a pill containing EDTA, very little of it
reaches your tissues because it is not absorbed well via
the oral route.

In fact, if you pass EDTA through your digestive tract
regularly, it may deplete you of the necessary minerals
that keep your cells running efficiently since EDTA also
binds to the minerals you need and flushes them out through
the kidneys.

You've probably read all the hype about taking EDTA orally,
but beware. I do not recommend taking EDTA orally. It has
limited effectiveness and can potentially cause mineral
deficits in your body leading to fatigue and other symptoms.

Here's the good news.

You can now chelate at home with a form of EDTA
administration that's well absorbed and may even be more
effective than administering EDTA intravenously. And it's a
lot cheaper than IV chelation, which costs well over $100
per treatment for 30 or more treatments. The at-home
chelation is safer, more convenient, more effective and
more affordable.

There's so much more to share with you about chelation
therapy. Here's how to jump start your learning process:
