Familiarizing Yourself with Oral Chelation

Copyright 2005 Octocat Ltd

Oral Chelation (pronounced “key lay shun”) is simply the

process by which metals, minerals and toxins are removed

from the body through the use of certain agents (chelating

agents) that bond with those elements – literally forming a

circle around them – and flushing them out through the

body’s natural waste material. One of the toxins which the

chelating agents identify for removal is arterial plaque.

By removing this, you can avoid build-up of plaque within

the arteries and promote greater heart health.

EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) is one of the

most effective chelating agents in use today. The synthetic

amino acids which make up EDTA provide the foundation on

which protein is built and was first utilized in the U.S.

in 1948. Designed as a treatment for those who were working

in a battery factory as a treatment for lead poisoning –

which was approved by the FDA – the Navy soon followed in

its use of this chelating agent for sailors who absorbed

lead while applying paint to ships and other government

property.

In 1952, oral chelation was being used by doctors for those

patients who were suffering from hardening of the arteries

as a result of arterial plaque build-up. Those for whom

oral chelation was prescribed exhibited a reduction in both

of the areas.

Had it not been for using EDTA to treat lead poisoning at

that time, physicians wouldn’t have had the opportunity to

note this effect on their patients, and the impact that it

had on these illnesses might never have been discovered.

While most people may think that the exposure to lead

contaminants has been all but eliminated today, it has

actually increased over the years and continues to be an

ever-present threat in items such as tap water, residues in

processed foods, cosmetics, mouthwash, toothpaste, shampoo,

soap and a wide variety of hair care products.

In addition to marketable products, certain professions

also provide exposure to lead contaminants. Among these are

potters, battery makers, lab workers, welders, engravers,

medical professionals and hairdressers, to name a few.

With so much emphasis being placed on good heart health

today, oral chelation has become a real necessity for

regular health maintenance. Even if you’re not among those

who are in one of the high-risk professions, you’re still

exposed to harmful contaminants on a regular basis and

should consider this as an agent for reducing arterial

plaque.

Since lead and other toxic threats can be the catalyst for

physical and mental illnesses, EDTA should be integrated

into your health program in order to rid the body of those

agents which are already present, as well as to avoid any

build-up in the future.

EDTA can be purchased online and in a variety of health

stores or alternative medicine sections of some

supermarkets and specialty shops. Those with a history of

heart ailments, diabetes and other significant illnesses in

their history should consult with their physician before

attempting to use EDTA. Though everyone can benefit from

the removal of toxins from their body, your physician will

be able to tell you whether or not it will interrupt the

effectiveness of any medications that you may currently be

taking.
