Best 3 Chelators
During the 1940s, EDTA chelation was routinely used to treat workers in battery factories or those working with lead-based paints. While the use of EDTA chelation for treating occlusive vascular disease continues to be highly controversial in this country (See Dr. Ward Dean Comments on Oral Chelation - Apr. 1997 and Exclusive Interview with Garry Gordon, M.D., D.O.: Oral Chelation for Improved Heart Function - Apr. 1997), intravenous (IV) EDTA remains the recommended treatment of choice for individuals whose blood levels of lead, mercury, or other toxic heavy metals are dangerously high. Used properly, IV EDTA chelation has been shown to be extremely safe and effective for removing high levels of heavy metals from the body.
It may be, in at least some instances, that heavy metal poisoning and vascular disease are connected. A case was reported in the medical literature in which a 51-year-old man, who had been hypertensive since he was a teenager, was treated with IV EDTA chelation. His physician noticed that a large amount of lead (a five-fold increase) was appearing in the man's urine after each treatment, suggesting he had very high levels of lead in his system. This finding was of particular interest, because previously published reports had linked high lead levels to hypertension. Thus, it was gratifying that, once the lead was removed from his system, his blood pressure returned to normal and, for the first time since he was 18, he did not require antihypertensive medication
