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.
