“Chelation therapy is extremely benefitial for all forms of artherosclerotic cardiovascular disease including angina pectoris and coronary artery disease, intermittent claudication and gangrene in artherosclerotic cardiovascular disease of the legs and feet, and strokes and transient ischemic attacks in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease of the neck and brain arteries.”

ABSTRACT: The widely accepted Free-Radical Theory of Aging has given us a coherent and unifying scientific explanation for the many diverse benefits resulting from disodium EDTA chelation therapy. The Free Radical Theory will be discussed foremost in this paper. The emerging Cell-Senescence Model of Aging, however, combined with concepts of apoptosis (programmed cell death), adding to the free radical explanation, and gives us a broader scientific rationale for EDTA chelation. A recent discovery shows compromised and ischemic cells take up toxic levels of otherwise essential and nutritional metallic elements. Reports that infective microorganisms are shielded against bodily defenses by biofilms, bound in place by metallic cations, provide another mechanism of action. Any proposed mechanism must explain why full benefit takes several months to occur and why improvement continues long after therapy is completed. Benefits can be explained, at least in part, by rebalancing of metallic cations between cells and organs, reactivating metalloenzymes dependent on ions for function, and by removal of metals reaching toxic intracellular levels, or that act as catalysts of free radical proliferation.
