Chelation Therapy

by JoAnn Guest

 

Chelation therapy helps remove heavy metals such as lead, calcium,

and aluminum from the body. If started early, chelation therapy has

shown very encouraging results. The benefit of chelation is that it

provides an alternative means of treating blocked arteries in a

preventive way, prior to emergency situations for which bypass

surgery may be the only solution.

 

Chelation has restored victims of severe angina to health, with

complete freedom from pain and vastly improved tolerance for

exercise. Many reported an improvement in intellectual function as

chelation therapy improved the circulation to their brains.

 

Chelation therapy is aimed at stripping lead, aluminum, mercury,

cadmium, and unwanted calcium deposits from the arteries and other

parts of the body in a way that allows these materials to be excreted

through the kidneys.

 

 

To accomplish this, physicians administer an amino acid solution

called EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) Through an intravenous

drip into the bloodstream for about three hours, 2 to 3 days a week.

 

 

The number of treatments would be suggested by the physician, but

usually 20 to 30 treatments are administered.

 

The word " chelate " comes from the Greek " chele " which refers to the

claw or lobster, implying a firm, pincer-like hold. EDTA floats past

a hardened area in a blood vessel, and its strong attraction for

lead causes it literally " to pick up " the offending mineral and pull

it out of the area!

 

The treatment is given by member physicians of the American Academy

of Medical Preventics (AAMP) in medical centers across the nation.

Approximately six million infusions have been administered in the

U.S. solely for the purpose of reversing degenerative diseases

associated with hardening of the arteries.

 

In the past twelve years of record keeping, not one death has

occurred due specifically to chelation therapy when it has been

administered by physicians who followed the standard protocol

established by the American College of Advancement in Medicine.

 

To find a physician who is trained and competent in chelation

therapy, contact the `American College of Advancement in Medicine

(ACAM), 23121 Verdugo Drive, Suite 204, Laguna Hills, CA.

Or phone (714) 583-7666 or (800) 532-3688. ACAM lists more than

2,000 doctors across the nation who administer chelating therapy.

 

" Chelation Therapy " : One of Medicine's Best Kept Secrets!

 

In this article by Gary Null, it was reported that chelating has also

been shown to help multiple sclerosis, arthritis, macular

degeneration (a disease that causes blindness) hypertension,

diabetes, and adverse reactions to environmental pollutants!

 

Chelating has restored victims of angina to health, with complete

freedom from pain and vastly improved tolerance for exercise.

 

The American Medical Association and pharmaceutical and health

insurance industries stand in opposition to the therapy.

 

 

Yet, the Food and Drug administration has approved EDTA!

 

Chelation therapy is a procedure that costs about one-tenth what

bypass surgery does, has minimal risk factors associated with it, and

causes very little, if any pain.

 

 

It has a growing reputation as a " treatment of preference " for

blocked arteries.

 

The benefit of chelation is that it provides an alternative means of

treating blocked arteries, prior to an emergency situation for which

bypass surgery may be the only solution.

 

 

The medical literature contains some 10,000 articles about chelation,

of which 1,800 were clinical studies. All describe favorable results.

H. Richard Casdorph, M.D. Ph. D. Diplomat of the American Board of

Internal Medicine, has been at the forefront of chelating therapy and

uses it daily in his practice in Long Beach, CA. I discussed

chelation with him and he told me that clinical studies on chelation

have documented directly the effectiveness of this therapy in

treating sclerotic heart valves, stroke, senility, and even

Alzheimer's disease.

 

Studies have shown that the basis of most of these problems is poor

circulation caused by hardening of the arteries.

 

Originated for Lead Poisoning

 

The therapy originated in Detroit, Michigan, in 1948 as a means of

treating victims of lead poisoning. Physicians found that after the

treatments, their patients showed marked improvement in their

arteriosclerosis.

 

Further experimentation resulted in the treatment we know today.

 

More information is available in several good books: " The Chelation

Way " by Dr. Morton Walker, Toxic Metal Syndrome, by Dr. Morton Walker

and Richard Casdorph, M.D., " Bypassing Bypass, New Techniques of

Chelation Therapy " by Elmer M.Cranton, M.D.

 

Please note: If there is no doctor that provides this service in your

area, oral chelation kits are readily purchased in most health food

stores for a rather nominal price! These usually consist of a variety

of supplements taken with Aloe Vera Juice and work just as well!
