How Detoxamin Works

EDTA and chelation therapy has been the most recommended treatment by the Center for Disease Control for lead poisoning and other related toxic metal syndromes for decades now. Lead poisoning and lead poisoning symptoms along with mercury poisoning and mercury poisoning symptoms are helped greatly with proper detoxification. Chelation with Detoxamin and EDTA is your answer to Heavy Metal Overload.

Heavy Metal Overload in the walls of coronary arteries seems to decrease levels of nitric oxide, a compound known as "Endothelial Relaxing Factor,"- without this substance normal blood flow is impeded therefore increasing the risk of vascular blockages. Heavy Metal Overload in the adrenal glands reduce the production of hormones, which cause early aging, stress, decreased sex drive and aggravation of menopausal symptoms.

Heavy Metal Overload can lead to unresponsiveness of diabetics to their medications. Heavy Metal Overload can lead to neurological diseases such as depression and loss of thinking power. It can also aggravate conditions such as osteoporosis and hypothyroidism. For obvious reasons, removing metals from the body safely has been a concern of physicians for many years.

The body has need for approximately 70 friendly trace element heavy metals, but there are another 12 poisonous heavy metals, such as Lead, Mercury, Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Nickel, etc., that act as poisonous interference to the enzyme systems and metabolism of the body.

No matter how many good health supplements or procedures one takes, heavy metal overload will be a detriment to the natural healing functions of the body. Therefore, chelation with Detoxamin and EDTA should be considered as the "first step" to any intelligent medical intervention. Whether it is lead poisoning, mercury poisoning from mercury in fish or general mercury toxicity or most other toxic metals, chelation with Detoxamin and EDTA is your answer.

Detoxamin removes most harmful toxins from the body, safely and effectively. Detoxamin is taken at night prior to bedtime, each Detoxamin suppository contains 750mg of Calcium-disodium EDTA, and is made in a cocoa-butter base (melts on body contact), which is very therapeutic for the rectal mucosa and the colon wall.

According to Dr. Bruce Halstead MD, Scientific Advisor to WHP, "The Ca-sodium form is able to bond (chelate) effectively because it does not lower the blood pH to a level that would prohibit the bonding action. The Ca added to the salt is important in this MOA (mode of administration) as it buffers the acidic quality of the active ingredient keeping the suppository from being abrasive to the mucous membrane of the rectum area. Ca-disodium EDTA has both a scientific justification for therapeutic effectiveness as well as a clinical history of effectiveness."

I had seen ads for Detoxamin many times in professional journals and although interesting, I was never moved to place an order.

I had seen ads for Detoxamin many times in professional journals and although interesting, I was never moved to place an order. It was a personally devastating event that finally got me off the fence and caused me to order.

Several months back, my best friend's dad was scheduled for "routine" bypass surgery. I had known this man for over thirty years and felt almost as if he was a father to me. He did not fare well with the surgery. The bypass procedure loosened arterial plaque causing multiple mini-strokes with dire consequences. It took more than three weeks for the man to regain partial consciousness and another three weeks before he could utter a few words. Six months has elapsed. He is now bedridden, confined to a nursing home, a paraplegic for all intents and purposes and there is little hope that he will ever come home. MRI of the brain shows several cerebral infarcts.

It was this sad and unfortunate experience that finally caused me to try Detoxamin. When one sees such a tragedy, one cannot help but ask the question, what would I do in such a situation? Of course, the answer is to never allow a similar situation to arise in the first place.

Time being of the essence, I decided to try chelation therapy with Detoxamin as a preventative and alternative to future bypass surgery, even though I have no symptoms of coronary artery disease at this time. It was just after one week of using Detoxamin that I began to notice a definite but somewhat unspecific benefit from the product. I just felt better, my mind seemed sharper and I felt a lift in spirits. After two weeks I noticed specific results in the form of marked improvement of chronic bronchitis. Both my lungs and nasal passages were dramatically clearer. After four weeks chronic muscle pain (fibromyalgia) was reduced by about eighty percent. In about eight weeks I noticed that my feet, which were always ice cold, began to feel warmer. To the point that I now walk around my home bare-footed, something I've not been able to do for years.

With such astonishingly beneficial results, I decided to put those nearest and dearest to me on Detoxamin. My wife, my brother and his wife, my sister and her husband, my nephew and his wife and several good friends are now experiencing the benefits or Detoxamin. I am also recommending Detoxamin to my patients.

I do not want to suggest that Detoxamin is a panacea for every imaginable chronic health problem but, interestingly, it appears that each individual not only experiences a common benefit but also an individual benefit. Perhaps this could be explained by the fact that different people may have been exposed to different types of heavy metals settling in different organs of the body, creating different and various symptoms. Removal of heavy metals from these organs, then, could reduce a myriad of manifestations.

To me, there is no doubt that there are very few who would not benefit from the removal of heavy metals from their bodies with Detoxamin. The Detoxamin product is truly effective, modestly priced and very safe to use and as such, stands alone in the alternative health care arena. Thank you for putting this wonderful product within the grasp of many people who otherwise would never have had chelation therapy available to them as an option.

I would be less than appreciative if I neglected to tell you that you are a lifesaver to me.

I would be less than appreciative if I neglected to tell you that you are a lifesaver to me. About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the way they phrased it the aggressive kind. It was present in fourteen separate biopsy samples. They vacillated about whether chemotherapy would be apropos, but I made it easy for them to decide. I refused chemo. By the time more tests were run and conferences were held it metastasized to the right hip joint and I needed crutches to walk. I could not get up out of a chair without help.

Then, to further complicate matters I developed cancer in another location, totally unrelated, but glaringly obvious. This new location was the peritoneum; again the diagnostics and conferences began and finally they gave up and told me they could find nothing, and could do nothing more for me. I suggested exploratory but they didn't want to do that.

This brings us to April 2002, when I was visiting with a stockholder in your company, whom I have known for many yeas past and have a high regard for him. But when he told me he could pull me out of this quagmire in six to eight weeks, I was understandably skeptical. Being considered terminal isn't all that alarming, but the turn around has been wonderful.

I began the Detoxamin treatment on a Tuesday, April 16, last, and by Saturday I could notice a slight betterment. I went off all my pain medication immediately, because I want to know the truth. Within a ten-day period the pain had subsided and has not recurred. The peritoneal distention is markedly receding and I am looking forward to my standard waist size of 34 instead of the high point I reached in mid April of 48 inches. (and they couldn't find the problem!!)

I have already recommended this treatment to several of my friends and will be more than happy to answer any inquiries from anyone interested. Incidentally, I am not squeamish at the thought of addressing a group of people either; whatever I can do to promote this outstanding treatment, I stand ready to do it.

Detoxamin Testimonals II

I've seen elevated levels of potentially toxic heavy metals in the vast majority of my patients who have had random blood samples screened for the presence of these metals. The most reliable, effective and economical method of detoxification is, without question, Detoxamin chelation suppositories.
I treated over 500 of my patients with Detoxamin with excellent success over the past five years. Considering its ease of use with self-administration, convenience, and safety, I truly believe Detoxamin is one of the most significant means to improve patients' overall health that I've experienced in my 30 years of practice.
Dr. Rita Ellithorpe, MDTustin, CA

I have been suffering from heavy metal poisoning for a long time. I tried DMSA chelation for 18 months with no results. I started using Detoxamin Chelation Suppositories about three months ago and have had amazing results so far. I was nearly confined to a wheelchair due to the pain in my legs, but the pain is much, much better now. I had been experiencing severe pain in my entire body, but that has now been reduced. In addition, I had numbness and tingling that had been driving me crazy for a long time; it is also much, much better now. Detoxamin is working great. Katherine ChilcoteWest Chester, PA

Last month I finished a two-month regimen of Detoxamin and my Mercury level lowered drastically. Linda DeleskiewiczEast Berne, NY

Detoxamin chelation suppositories detoxify in a low-cost, convenient manner; it's an effective way to effuse EDTA through the bowel walls and into the blood stream to clean toxic metals from cells in all areas of the body.
Dr. Morton Walker, DPM

Three years ago, I went to my doctor and did a chest scan. He told me I definetly had some problems and that I would need to come back every year for a new scan. I began taking Detoxamin, and after six months, went back to my doctor for another scan. He told me I was doing much better and that I no longer needed the yearly scan. Ron RomerSt. Peters, MO

Detoxamin has pretty much saved my life. I have used 90 suppositories over the past year and it has cleaned out my femoral arteries (which had been 60-70 percent blocked) and my carotid arteries that were blocked as well. My blood pressure has gone from 140 to about 110 and I no longer need to take my blood-pressure medication. My cholesterol numbers have dropped as well! Jack YatesVashon, WA

My husband and I are in the printing business and I have had trouble sleeping for years. After the first suppository I slept better than I have in 15 years. Jennifer FigueroaTucson, AZ
I have had skin rashes for more than 15 years and have tried many things, but Detoxamin chelation suppositories seem to be what has really helped. I also have fewer headaches, my eyesight seems clearer and I am waking up with more energy in the morning.
Michelle Clifton Garrison, NY

I am 76-years-old and have been taking IV EDTA since 1998 for macular degeneration. I have been using Detoxamin chelation suppositories for about one month now. I know that it is working because I have so much energy… it is coming out of my ears. I am planning on dropping IV EDTA and going with Detoxamin alone because it works so well.
You have a customer for life.
Alberto Garcia Eagle Pass, TX

I have two children (patients) with Aspergers syndrome. They have high lead content. I did a challenge to determine lead content then gave 30 suppositories, one every other day, and then performed another challenge. The lead content dropped dramatically in both children.
Luc Maes, DC, ND Santa Barbara, CA

I'm getting great results with Detoxamin chelation suppositories. Patients have more energy, some are losing weight and they are sharper mentally. We use Darkfield to measure endocrine function and all patients on Detoxamin have improved endocrine function.
Laz Bannock, ND Santa Fe, NM

I love Detoxamin chelation suppositories. When I use them I can feel an immediate improvement in my respiration. I am a senior citizen and when I go hiking outdoors, it feels as if I get stronger the longer I go. I really need this stuff.
Joseph Schechter Tucson, AZ

I have been using Detoxamin for about two weeks and have had the most amazing results. I feel a "pulling feeling" from every major area of my body. I also am able to walk without a limp for the first time in 9 months due to extreme stiffness in my joints.
I know I have a mercury problem but Detoxamin is definitely taking care of it.
Brenda Finn Williamsburg, PA

Before I started Detoxamin I had blue veins in my legs and feet and the ones on the tops of my feet were very painful. So painful that I was not able to wear certain kinds of shoes. After 60 Detoxamin suppositories the blue veins are gone, they are now clear and the pain is all gone. I can wear any shoes I like.
Carla Adams Fort Worth, TX

From using only one container of Detoxamin chelation suppositories I noticed a clear headedness I hadn't had before and a sense of calmness. I consider it a very positive experience. Cass Szalkowski Travers City, MI

I have been using Detoxamin for four months…I am very satisfied with the results. My lead levels are down 75%...Tin levels are down about 47%, nickel is down 30%, mercury is down 60%. Cadmium is down 57% and antimony is down 37%
I have recommended your product to others. I have enclosed my hair analysis from ten months ago and my most recent one for comparison purposes. Thanks again. Your product really works. R. Pavsner North Carolina

About 6 weeks ago I had an eye exam at the VA and was told my eyesight was 20/75. The other day they did the test again and said I was 20/20. The only thing I did different in that time was use Detoxamin. They have also cancelled my prescription for night time glasses, they said I don't need them anymore.
Efraim Xirinachs Davey, FL

Detoxamin is the only chelation suppository product on the market that has all of the following attributes: legal, safe, comfortable to use and has documented proof of its consistent effectiveness in its ability to chelate.
Dr. Bruce W. Halstead, MD Medical Advisor, World Health Products Author of "The Scientific Basis of EDTA Chelation Therapy"

Detoxamin has changed the field of chelation therapy. Rectal suppository EDTA broadens the field of EDTA chelation patients in every way. Now patients who were unable to come to the office regularly, patients with more advanced renal disease, and patients unable or unwilling to tolerate intravenous application of EDTA, are able to obtain chelation with as good or better results than the present IV method.
Safer, cheaper, more cost-effective, less invasive, and still more effective. What more is there to say. This changes the field of chelation therapy. Dr. Halstead again has to be acknowledged as a genius in the field.
Dr. Erik Von Kiel Total Health Herbal and Natural Medicine Breinigsville, PA

My husband and I have been using Detoxamin for about 4 months and we are very pleased with the results so far. My heart rate has gone from the 70s to as low as 52. It has not been below 70 for many years. Our daytime vision has improved greatly as well as our night vision.
Vernon and Jane Synovec Modesto, CA

It is now one month later and I have finished my first 30 days of Detoxamin. The pain in my feet is down to about 10% of what it was and my feet have gone from dry and flaky to soft and smooth. I have never seen anything like it and I have encouraged several friends to try it.
Reuel Jones

I am a healthy person but the main benefit I have seen from using only 15 Detoxamin suppositories is an increase in my overall energy level.
Dr. George Courtright Valley Vision Center West Point, GA

I have been using Detoxamin for six months and my energy level has gone up. I have had sinus problems and my sinuses are cleared up. Also I had some spots on my body that several doctors had been unable to diagnose, and those have cleared up. Detoxamin has worked very well for me.
Jeanette Jordan Long Point Medical Center Houston, TX

I have had pain in my feet and lower legs for years, mainly when I've awakened in the morning or after sitting for long periods. I thought it might be the start of arthritis. After two months on Detoxamin chelation suppositories, I have almost no pain at all. Also my gastrointestinal tract has dramatically improved.
Carolyn Yakaboski Farmersville, LA

Within one month of using Detoxamin chelation suppositories, my blood pressure has gone from 145/96 to 120/80. I am a smoker and my lungs are clearing up. I would wheeze when I laid down for bed, and I no longer wheeze. I know it is the Detoxamin chelation suppositories because it is the only thing I am doing differently.
Dr. Bob Philadelphia, PA

I have been using oral EDTA for some time now without much or any success. After using my second Detoxamin chelation suppository, the pain from my angina has noticeably lessened. I expected good results, but not this fast.
Mike Bottomley Clearwater, FL

I have been on Detoxamin chelation suppositories for only one week, and all of the pain in my legs from fibromyalgia is gone. I can walk again without any pain.
Dianna Ricker Phoenix, AZ

My hair had been cotton-white for a number of years. After only five Detoxamin chelation suppositories, it has turned black and silver. I have fibromyalgia and have had constant pain for years, but I wake up in the mornings now, and am pain free. I still have a little pain throughout the day, but it is far less than what it had been. I had pain in my legs when I try to walk, and now I can walk two miles without pain. I feel better now than I ever have. I can't say enough good things about this product.
Francis Trotter Martinsville, VA

I have been using Detoxamin chelation suppositories for three months now and my blood pressure has gone from 200/86 to 136/60.
I am 81-years-old and I think Detoxamin is amazing. I used to have problems with my skin (rashes and itching) and I would have to use a lot of creams and lotions. Now I don't, because I no longer have problems with my skin.
Polly Merle Dallesport, WA

I have had forty IV chelation therapy treatments, but Detoxamin chelation suppositories, have been more effective. After about fifteen of the chelation suppositories, I have much more energy and my blood pressure is steadily improving. With the IV chelation, I would feel better for a day or two. But with Detoxamin I feel good all of the time.
Jerry Meeks Eden, NC

Letter from a patient to their doctor: I wanted to let your know how very grateful I am for your thoughtful diagnosis and loving support and understanding; and also to report how much using the Detoxamin Chelation Suppositories, in the treatment of my condition due to heavy metals, has meant to me… I am generally more related and ready to re-enter the human race. To say the treatment has helped to change my life would be no overstatement.

Detoxamin Testimonals I

My hat goes off to [the manufacturers of Detoxamin] for researching and making chelation available, affordable, non-prescription, and practical for a greater number of people... for as you have learned, heavy metal toxicity is at the root of many incurable conditions, and it is not going to go away. Detoxamin will revolutionize medicine.

Dr. Sherry Rogers, MD
I have referred several patients to use Detoxamin and several have had great results — but this one is amazing. An adult male, 84 years old, had a heart attack; he was told he had 1 completely blocked artery and 3 others that were about 75% blocked. The doctors sent him home basically to die, telling him that they could not help him. I put him on an enzyme and Detoxamin, and the results have been miraculous. Within a few weeks he was alert and moving around again. Within 1 month his automatic pacemaker no longer went off and was not needed. His blood pressure normalized, and after a few more months his facial droop began to go away. He is now active and alert and doing amazingly well. Jed Adamson, NDTwin Falls, ID

I have 10 patients on Detoxamin and it is working great. Personally, I have been taking 40 milligrams of blood pressure medication to try and control my high blood pressure but it has not been working. My blood pressure has been in the range of 165/100, but after using Detoxamin for only 2 months, my blood pressure has dropped significantly to about 130/75. Ray Pearson, DCHarrison, AR

I have had numbing and tingling in my toes for the past 3-4 years and after using one container of Detoxamin I am seeing great improvement. I expect the numbing and tingling to completely go away with the use of Detoxamin. Also I don't know if it is related but my PSA in the same time frame has gone from a 3.8 to 1.3.
Dr. David Hendrickson Ogden, UT

I have completed a three month treatment of Detoxamin chelation suppositories and I know they are working. I started using Detoxamin to see if it really works before I recommend it to my patients. I have more energy, my thought processes are clearer and I no longer have panic attacks.
Dr. Tom Eyrich Indianapolis, IN

Results from Detoxamin chelation suppositories have been great. Patients are experiencing greater energy from using Detoxamin. Also several men have had their prostate problems cleared up after using Detoxamin.
Dr. Robert Moody Utah

I had a 12-year-old girl that went from a straight-A student to a D student in 2 years. We tested her and she was found to have very high mercury content. She was also diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, a mild form of Autism. After using one container of Detoxamin chelation suppositories, her mercury content decreased and her grades went back up to straight A's.
Dr. Robert Schwartz The Dalles, OR

My clients have been thrilled with the results of the Detoxamin chelation suppositories. Many of my clients have been interested in chelation therapy but found the cost and the time to be prohibitive. Detoxamin has made these concerns non-issues.
Most of my clients have a noticeable increase in energy. Many no longer have the afternoon slump or no longer need naps. Of particular significance have been the positive effects experienced by my older male clients with prostate issues.
One 62-year-old man was literally getting up every hour at night to urinate. It was so bad that he was considering surgery. After just one dose of Detoxamin, he would awaken at 4AM to urinate and go back to sleep until his normal waking time.
I feel that the benefits Detoxamin has to offer improves my clients' health at a deep cellular level, and that they will continue to benefit from it for the rest of their lives. No other product can do that for them.
Judyth Shamosh Doctor of Natural Health Medical Herbalist

I have been diagnosed with the early stages of prostate cancer and have been experiencing difficulties urinating, and waking up repeatedly during the night. After the 6th suppository, I noticed that it was getting easier to urinate and I was sleeping thru the night. Now after 15 suppositories, it no longer hurts to urinate and I produce a full stream instead of a trickle.
John Wagner La Mesa, CA

I have been using Detoxamin chelation suppositories for about two weeks now and feel that it is working great. The lethargy that I normally have has gone away, I am sleeping more soundly than ever before, and a persistent fungus on my toes has been subdued.
Herman Christian Chicago, IL

It has been quite some time since I have been in contact so I wanted to give you an update.
I previously related to you the improvement I had experienced in my pressure readings related to my glaucoma and just wanted to let you know that I have now been off the Xalatan eye drops for nine months. As of my appointment last week, my readings were actually better than they were six months ago. My ophthalmologist does not want to see me again for one year. As I told you before he doesn't know if this is strictly related to chelation because he has never had a patient with glaucoma who has also had chelation...but...it seems to me this might be something that would be worth your research. As you know I am now on Detoxamin maintenance. Since I had been on prescription eye drops for the glaucoma beginning in the early 80s, this seems to be almost a miracle!!
Virginia M. "Monte" Akin Texas

The results that I have experienced from using one container of Detoxamin chelation suppositories are great. I am a construction worker and have had ongoing respiratory problems. But since I started taking the suppositories, my sensitivity to things like paint have decreased a lot. I am now able to breathe easier.
Jim Todaro Point Pleasant, NJ

I have taken IV EDTA for three years and the results from just my first two containers of Detoxamin are the same as from the long term IV treatment.
Gary Ramshur Bastrop, LA

I have a patient who has been on Detoxamin for about 6 months and wants to stay on it longer because, in that time he has dropped down 4 holes on his belt and wants to keep the weight off.
Dr. Cretti Santa Barbara, CA

I'll have to admit that when I was approached to conduct a clinical trial on Detoxamin chelation suppositories I was both curious and skeptical. I forewarned the patients about all of the possible side effects and complications in their consent form, but did not mention the benefits. Surprisingly, a few weeks into the study, I started getting unsolicited phone calls and e-mails from study participants commenting on improvements in vitality, mental clarity, strength, hair texture, skin elasticity, coordination to name a few.
One of my patients, a Catholic priest, had had problems with abnormal platelets, which no practitioner, including our Living Longer clinic, had been able to correct. Approximately one month after starting the Detoxamin he called me with great delight stating that for the first time in over a decade his platelets had normalized and continue to be normal after several months!
I'm not sure that I understand the mechanism but I surely am pleased with the results. I feel that Detoxamin can definitely be a useful tool in the removal of heavy metals.
Maureen Pelletier, M.D., C.C.N.

Has prostate cancer and has been on chemotherapy for a few years and his veins are getting calcified. After one month on Detoxamin his veins are now pliable and nurses have no trouble finding veins for injections. His intermittant claudication is improving dramatically.
Michael Baum New York, NY

A 71-year-old patient after one month on Detoxamin no longer has to take nitroglycerin for angina.
Dr. Robert Meliodon Huntington Valley, PA

I had had 80% blockage of my carotid arteries before using Detoxamin. After using just 60 suppositories, my blockage is down to 40% in each artery according to my doctor-administered ultrasound.
John Scheuerman Boxford, MA

After using 15 Detoxamin chelation suppositories, the mercury in my hair sample before and after tests went from “off the charts” to almost zero. I am very pleased with the benefits of Detoxamin.
Charles Scott, DC Odessa, TX

I just wanted to thank you for your product. I am finishing up my second month and I feel great. I have struggled with chronic fatigue for several years and have tried everything and I mean everything. Detoxamin is the first thing that has worked. I have much more energy and have been able to work out again, which is of course improving my health even more. I started to see results within the first week. Thank you so much for making a worthwhile therapy affordable!!
BJ

After two weeks on Detoxamin chelation suppositories, my blood pressure decreased to the point where I could stop taking my blood pressure medication. Also before and after hair tests, my mercury, lead and nickel all dropped down significantly to well below the preference range.
Charles Peterson Escondido, CA

I have 87-year-old patient who has 85% blockage in two coronary arteries. Doctors would not operate due to the high risk of his medical condition. He couldn't walk out to mailbox without suffering symptoms of angina. After a few months on Detoxamin chelation suppositories, he can now mow the lawn without any symptoms of angina or numbness in his arms.
Another patient has high mercury and lead content in his body. After one month on Detoxamin chelation suppositories, his levels were reduced by 50%. This was confirmed by independent lab tests.
Dr. James Bentz Anacortes, WA

Prior to starting chelation, I had critical stenosis [narrowing] approaching 99% in the right common carotid artery extending into the internal carotid artery. Following Detoxamin chelation suppository therapy, there is no stenosis of the right internal carotid artery. In addition my ophthalmologist has taken me off my Xalatan drops, which I had been using for glaucoma for several years.
V. Akin Texas

I have just finished my first month of Detoxamin chelation suppositories and my angina is down by about 90%. The tension headaches that I had from high blood pressure are gone. My once poor circulation had caused the soles of my feet to become bruised (black and blue), and the soles are now pink. Plus, my angina symptoms have disappeared. Detoxamin really seems to be helping.
Barry Honeycutt Texas

I have a patient who's blood pressure dropped 18 points after using Detoxamin for only one week.
Dr. James Toole Seattle, WA

I was scheduled for surgery for intermittent claudication in both of my legs but I told the doctor I wanted to try Detoxamin chelation suppositories first. Boy am I glad I did! There is no more pain in my legs; Detoxamin is working great!

EDTA Chelation & Vascular Disease

What traditional medicine often fails to see is that disease is a process. The manifesting of the symptom is the end stage of the disease, whereas traditional medicine sees it as the beginning. The advertising by pharmaceutical companies says everything can "go away" with medication. The mainstream medical establishment is effectively supporting and communicating to patients, "don't learn about the cause of your illness, get a prescription for a drug to knock the symptom out… and only go to the doctor when you're sick."

Clinical experience with EDTA chelation therapy has convinced substantial numbers of licensed physicians in North America that it is a safe and effective treatment for atherosclerotic vascular disease, as it consistently improves blood flow and relieves symptoms associated with the disease in greater than 80% of the patients treated. As members of the medical profession are generally aware, the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease is extraordinarily complex. The scientific principles underlying the efficacy of EDTA chelation therapy in impeding each step of the disease process are beyond the scope of this discussion, but they are elaborated upon in the many published clinical studies and research papers available.

In its simplest terms, the rationale for its efficacy is that EDTA, in binding ionic metal catalysts and removing them from the body, reduces subsequent abnormal production of oxygen free radical reactive molecules and molecular fragments which react destructively with other molecules.

There is now widespread agreement that EDTA removes metallic catalysts which cause excessive oxygen free radical proliferation, thereby reducing pathological lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, DNA, enzyme systems and lipoproteins and allowing the body's natural healing mechanisms to halt and often reverse the disease process.

Steinberg, et al., state in the April 6, 1989, New England Journal of Medicine, 1989; 320(14): 915-924, concerning Modifications of Low-density Lipoprotein That Increase Its Atherogenicity through free radical peroxidation, "oxidative modification is absolutely dependent on low concentrations of copper or iron in the medium and is therefore completely inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)."

Chelation therapy is considered by the physicians who utilize it to be an effective first step alternative to surgical treatment for atherosclerotic vascular disease in most cases.
Vascular disease is a leading killer globally and it results in loss of circulation to affected parts of the body with at times severe debilitation or death.

The signs of vascular disease appear:

• On the legs as loss of hair, thinning and atrophy of the skin, non-healing sores, or even blackened toes from gangrene, and pain on exercise.
• In the heart, the signs are pain or pressure in the chest, shortness of breath or unusual fatigue.
• In the brain, causing loss of memory and confusion, momentary lapses of consciousness (sometimes called a TIA, or transient ischemic attack), or eventually strokes.

Developmental Damage & Toxic Metals

Effects of Toxic Metals on Learning Ability and Behavior

EDTA Detoxamin Therapy for Children
order here:

The human brain forms and develops over a long period of time compared to other organs, with neuron proliferation and migration continuing in the postnatal period. The blood-brain barrier is not fully developed until the middle of the first year of life. Similarly there is postnatal activity in the development of neuronal receptors and transmitter systems, as well as in the production of myelin. The fetus has been found to get significant exposure to toxic substances through maternal blood and across the placenta, with fetal levels of toxic metals often being higher than that of maternal blood.19,30-32,41-43

Likewise infants have been found to get significant exposure to toxics, such as mercury and organochlorine compounds that their mother is exposed to, through breast-feeding.26,30-32,43,101,107

The incidence of neurotoxic or immune reactive conditions such as autism, scizophrenia, ADD, dyslexia, learning disabilities, etc. have been increasing rapidly in recent years.2,80-82,143,14

A recent report by the National Research Council found that 50% of all pregnancies in the U.S. are now resulting in prenatal or postnatal mortality, significant birth defects, developmental neurological problems, or otherwise chronically unhealthy babies.82 There has been a similar sharp increase in developmental conditions in Canadian children132, including increases in learning disabilities and behavioral problems, asthma and allergies, and childhood cancer.

Exposure to toxic chemicals or environmental factors appear to be a factor in as much as 28 percent of the 4 million U.S. children born each year6-23, with at least 1 in 6 having one of the neurological conditions previously listed according to the U.S. Census Bureau.82 U.S. EPA estimates that over 3 million of these are related to lead or mercury toxicity.2,41,81,108 Evidence indicates that over 60,000 children are born each year with neurodevelopmental impairment due to methylmercury107, with even higher levels of exposure and impairment from two other sources, vaccines and mother's amalgam dental fillings.43,81

The level of exposure in most infants to mercury thimerosal has been found to be many times higher than the federal limits for mercury exposure.81,122 The largest increase in neurological problems has been in infants2,80-82, with an increase in autism cases to over 500,0002,80-82,43b, an over 500% increase to a level of almost 1 per 300 infants in the last decade80, making it the 3rd most common chronic childhood condition, along with similar increases in ADD2,41,43b, 83,88,143. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics between 4 to 12 % of all school age children are affected by ADHD144 and a similar number have some degree of dyslexia41. However large surveys of elementary level student records finds much higher levels- with over 20% of elementary school boys in some areas being treated for ADD.

143 Studies have found that long term use of stimulant drugs commonly causes significant adverse neurological and health effects145, and options are available to deal with such conditions without such adverse effects including dealing with the underlying causes.

Children's Exposure To Tobacco Smoke: Still A Health Threat
May Lower Vitamin C Levels, Increase Ear Infections
As every parent knows, kids are like sponges. They take in everything around them. Unfortunately, that often includes second-hand tobacco smoke.
More than 40% of children grow up in a household with at least one smoker. And two new studies suggest that environmental exposure to smoke could have detrimental health consequences for these children very early in life.

Richard S. Strauss, M.D., from the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - Robert Wood Johnson School Of Medicine, recently evaluated data from a sample of nearly 3000 children between the ages of 4 and 18. He found that as the amount of a nicotine metabolite, called cotinine, increased in the children's blood, their circulating levels of Vitamin C decreased.

"This report is the first large study to document direct metabolic consequences of environmental tobacco smoke in children," Dr. Strauss pointed out. Dr. Strauss noted that tobacco smoke is loaded with free radicals. Thus, ongoing exposure to second-hand smoke is likely to put greater stress on the children's antioxidant reserves, using up more of the available supply of Vitamin C. Such a relationship has already been shown in adults who smoke. The potential health effects could be serious, Dr. Strauss observes, because free radical stress can damage DNA in the cell. It can also create a more reactive, destructive form of cholesterol that promotes heart disease.

And there may be an even more immediate impact. Another recent study found that children exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke had a 38% higher rate of new ear infections (otitis media) than other children. The analysis was based on both personal smoking history of the family and the levels of cotinine measured in the children's urine.

"Passive smoking increases the risk of otitis media in children, and cotinine urinalysis is a reliable method to determine the effect of passive smoking," they concluded.
These study results contradict the assertion by the tobacco industry that second-hand smoke is not harmful, the researchers stated. They called for improved ways to protect children from the potential health threat posed by environmental tobacco smoke.146,147

Ninety Percent Reduction in Cancer Mortality after Chelation Therapy With EDTA

Walter Blumer, M.D. and Elmer Cranton, M.D.

ABSTRACT:
Mortality from cancer was reduced 90% during an 18-year follow-up of 59 patients treated with Calcium-EDTA. Only one of 59 treated patients (1.7%) died of cancer while 30 of 172 non treated control subjects (17.6%) died of cancer (P=0.002). Death from artherosclerosis was also reduced.

Treated patients had no evidence of cancer at the time of entry into this study. Observations relate only to long-term prevention of death from malignant disease, if chelation therapy is begun before clinical evidence of cancer occurs. Control and treated patients lived in the same neighborhood, adjacent to a heavyily traveled highway in a small Swiss city.

Both groups were exposed to the same amount of lead from automobile exhaust, industrial pollution and other carcinogens. Exposure to carcinogens was no greater for the studied population than exists in most other metropolitan areas throughout the world. Statistical analysis showed EDTA chelation therapy to be the only significant difference between controls and treated patients to explain the marked reduction in cancer mortality.

Edta is well recognized as a therapy for lead toxicity. EDTA also removes other toxic heavy metals and nutritional elements such as iron which promote cancer by catalyzing free radical pathology.

Lead from automobile exhausts, petrochemicals form wear of automobile tires, cadmium, and other carcinogens are present in higher concentrations adjacent to heavily traveled automobile highways. These substances cause cancer and potentate other carcinogens.

It was reported in an earlier paper that cancer mortality among 231 adults living along a heavily traveled highway was higher than among persons living in a traffic-free section of the same city1 Nervous disorders, headaches, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, depression, and substance abuse was also observed with higher frequency.2 It was postulated that lead exposure from automobile exhausts might be one cause of this difference.

Beginning in 1961, a group of 59 patients with such symptoms was treated with parenteral doses of Calcium EDTA. Symptoms improved and urinary delta-amino levulinic acid diminished.3

Subsequent to the EDTA chelation therapy, a decrease in cancer mortality was observed. When compared with a control group of untreated patients who did not receive EDTA, many fewer cancer deaths were recorded,4,5. The control group was similar to the treated group in all ways except to the EDTA chelation therapy.

The purpose of this present study is to determine more precisely and to statistically analyze the long-term change in cancer mortality after treatment with EDTA

Statistical Data A group of 231 adults was studied beginning in late 1958. All resided along the main highway in a small Swiss city with a total population of approximately 3,000. Of these 231 people (105 men and 126 women), 31 persons, (17 men and 14 women) died of malignant tumors during the 18-year observation period (1959-1976).

Causes of death included 4 cases of bronchogenic carcinoma, 5 of colon carcinoma, 5 of gastric carcinoma, 2 of beast cancer, 3 of ovarian carcinoma, 1 of pancreatic carcinoma, 2 of pleural endothelioma, and 9 cases of other types of cancer. In all but one case, histopathological diagnosis was confirmed by a hospital pathologist. Twenty-eight of the deceased individuals had lived for 10 or more years directly adjacent to the highway and most were normally present in their homes for 24 hours of every day.

Fifty-nine adult study patient received ten or more injections of 1.9 gm calcium EDTA plus vitamins C and B1 From 1959 through 1976, only one (1.7%) of patients treated with EDTA died from cancer. In comparison, of 172 untreated control subjects who had not received calcium EDTA, 30 (17.4%) died from cancer. This represents a ten-fold greater incidence of cancer mortality in untreated persons (P=0.002).

The two groups were similar in all other respects.
The treated group consisted of 35 women and 24 men. It was initially thought that this higher percentage of women may have included fewer smokers which might partially explain the reduced mortality. Analysis showed that none of the 35 treated women died of cancer. Of 91 untreated women, 14 died of cancer, an incidence of 15%, and all female cancer deaths occurred in nonsmokers.

The treated group did not include a greater proportion of persons who were less exposed to carcinogens in their occupations or who spent more time away from the heavily congested highway during the day. Analysis of occupational data and location during the day showed no differences between the two groups. Housewives, the majority of whom remained at home each day, were represented equally in both groups.

No significant differences existed in age distribution between treated patients and controls. There were no significant socio-economic differences between the treated and the untreated persons. Cancer mortality was independent of monetary income.

Laboratory Analysis Increased urinary lead excretion after injection
of EDTA is a recognized test for lead accumulation in the body.6 Urinary lead excretion was measured before and after EDTA infusion in 5 patients with atomic absorption spectroscopy,7 using the method of Roosels.8 In every case, a substantial increase in lead excretion was measured. Simultaneously, urinary delta-amino levulinic acid (DALA) decreased. DALA was measured in the Central Laboratories of the University Hospital of Zurich, according to the methods of Doss and Schmidt.9

It is emphasized that the population studied and reported on in this paper was not exposed to any more lead or other environmental carcinogens than residents of most metropolitan areas throughout the world.

Traffic flow past residences of the study subjects was 4000 vehicles per day in 1956, increasing to 8000 vehicles per day in 1968. Of those, 7000 were passenger cars and 400 were diesel trucks.

Environmental measurements of pollutants and carcinogens were made in the immediate and surrounding area of this study. Tests were done at the Woods Hole Laboratories, Massachusetts, USA, using ultraviolet spectrophotography, mass-spectrography and chromatography.

10 Soil tests adjacent to the highway where the study population lived showed the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are known carcinogens.

In more remote sections of the same city, levels of these pollutants were found to be approximately three times lower, inversely correlated with the distance from automobile traffic. Further analyses showed the majority of measured carcinogens to be from automobile pollution. Pollution immediately adjacent to the highway where the study population resided was at or only slightly above permissible levels allowed under public health and environmental regulations in the USA.

Discussion Following preliminary communication of these data, the committee responsible for the surveillance of air quality in Switzerland scrutinized the results using a different statistical method.

11 They found a higher incidence of death from cancer in the untreated group than in the population of Switzerland as a whole.

The fact that an identical group treated with EDTA experienced a 90% reduction in cancer mortality, as well as a reduction in death from all causes was also confirmed. The fact that the general mortality as well as cancer mortality was lower in treated than untreated individuals was also confirmed by Knutti and Schlatter.

11 Their proposed explanation was that treated patients might possibly have been more health conscious or under better medical care, but this does not seem an adequate explanation of the recorded facts. Residents of less polluted areas experience a lower cancer mortality, despite the same level of medical care.
Evidence presented in this paper indicated that (1) EDTA removes cancer causing or promoting substances, from the body, and (2) those substances are correlated with environmental pollution from vehicular traffic.

The overall reduction of death from all causes and increased longevity I the EDTA treated group shows that chelation therapy also reduces other common causes of mortality such as artherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Except for cancer mortality, exact data are not available for statistical analysis.

As early as 1961, it was reported from animal experiments that intravenous injections of EDTA could slow the growth of experimental carcinoma 12. A cancer-inhibiting effect has also been demonstrated for other chelating agents, including BAL, cystine, penicillamine and citric acid 13-16. Many tumor inhibiting medications, including 5-flouracil, possess metal-binding properties. 17
Lead potentiates the carcinogenicity of aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene by five fold. 18 areas adjacent to heavily traveled highways are polluted with many other carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrosamines, epoxides, cadmium and asbestos, in addition to inorganic and tetraethyl lead.

Since the data from this study were last reported,5 new research has linked cancer to free radical pathology. 19-21. EDTA removes transition elements, such as iron, which accelerate free radical pathology, including cancer. Iron is an essential nutritional element but it is also know to accumulate with age. Catalysis of lipid peroxidation by iron potentiates the cancer promoting substances. EDTA increases the urinary excretion of unbound and freely catalytic iron 10 times more then it does lead. There are many reasons why EDTA chelation therapy could act to prevent cancer.

A recent publication by McDonagh, et al, 22 confirms improvement in a wide variety of symptoms, as first reported in this study population.2 Neurasthenic and nonspecific multi-organ symptoms improve significantly following EDTA chelation therapy, resulting in a marked improvement in the overall quality of life.

Body stores of iron correlate with the risk of cancer.23-25 and artherosclerosis. 26 EDTA removes unbound and potentially toxic iron from the body much more effectively than lead, 21 which may account for the findings in this study.

Large scale, double blind, controlled studies should be undertaken to fully document the many benefits observed in clinical practice following treatment with EDTA. EDTA is an inexpensive and relatively safe substance to administer but he patent has expired and pharmaceutical companies have no incentive to fund such research.
