Chelation as The Premier Treatment of Heavy Metal Toxicity

There are over 60,000 manmade chemicals in our food, air and water. There are over 130 in our food supply alone. These include cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, zinc, chromium, copper, nickel and aluminum; they are present in amounts that can lodge in the tissues and interrupt the enzyme activity of that tissue and its basic metabolic function. They are found in the ground and get into our foods; anything treating the water could contain them (fluoride for example); we also find them in the polluted air. Chelation removes these; it is a free radical scavenger, and in effect, the body is then able to rejuvenate itself. It is the only accepted clinical use of EDTA that is recognized by the FDA, oddly enough.

Dr. Serafina Corsello treated a dentist who had chronic exposure to heavy metals who had a thallium stress test, which showed blocked coronary arteries. His doctor encouraged him to have an angioplasty. He had chelation therapy instead and reported a significant increase in his energy level…and after one year his stress test was normal.31

Dr. Steven Alsazar adds some insight to this. "We now know that there are a number of different causes for vascular disease. Included in those are immune dysfunction, intestinal dysbiosis and yeast, allergies and sensitivities, [as well as] toxicities secondary to chemicals and heavy metals… so the whole field of clinical ecology needs to be evaluated."32 In fact, he won’t take care of patients who want chelation but continue to insult themselves with cigarettes, meat, alcohol, etc. He does note, though that once the lifestyle is changed and chelation is completed, recurrence of cardiovascular disease doesn’t occur.33 Food for thought.

Dr. Edward McDonaugh also treated patients with Agent Orange from Vietnam with good results. He feels "we could probably cut the amount of money spent on medical care by 50-70% via the use of chelation Therapy (versus surgeries, specialists, medications and doctor bills)."
