Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have a friend who has had success using Young Living's Chelex. Has anyone else tried it? It's made with essential oils that supposedly help to detoxify. Any comments are appreciated. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Almost everything you read or hear about chelation is meaningless hearsay. " I heard this " or " somebody said that. " The lone exception in my long search has been Andy Cutler, who has apparently reviewed in detail the chemistry and pharmacokinetics of the things that are supposed to be chelating agents, and has determined a simple protocol with rational, scientific thought behind it. I confess that I'm not completely comfortable just following the thinking of one person. I would love to read an opposing point of view - someone with scientific training who says " I've read Andy's books, and I disagree with him, and here's why. " But to the best of my knowledge - and believe me, I've looked - NOBODY has done that. Until they do, it seems crazy to me to ignore the warnings of the one true authority on the subject in favor of hearsay - most created by people selling products. Chelex is a mish-mosh of ingredients tossed together in no particularly rational fashion. It makes no sense according to Andy's reasoning and, in fact, is dangerous. Why be a guinea pig? Chelation is inherently risky, because you are moving heavy metals around. Why not do the simple, inexpensive, tested, safe, rational protocol that has worked with so many people, rather than take something that " somebody said " is safe? Dean [ ] Has anyone used chelex?
