I'm always on the lookout for nutrients, foods and lifestyle information that will make
our bodies and minds healthier and our lives happier, but this little gem has
escaped my radar so far, and I suspect that mainstream awareness needs to be
raised, starting now! This is about a simple and inexpensive synthetic amino acid
related to common household vinegar called EDTA (EthyleneDiamineTetraAcetic
Acid).
EDTA was developed by the Germans in 1931 to reverse heavy-metal poisoning
from the ingestion of lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, and more, especially
rampant from the battlefields from World War 1. Chelation therapy is not some new
and trendy miracle cure, but for various reasons, it's one of the best guarded
secrets out there flying beneath the mainstream health conscious radar, known for
health improvement. If you realize even one or two gains from a huge list of alleged
benefits, EDTA deserves to be classified as an astounding miracle compound.
EDTA works on the principle of chelation therapy, and without being too technical,
see "chelation" at Wikipedia, works by removing excessive levels of 13 minerals
from your body -- lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium, and aluminum -- all toxic heavy
metals. It also removes calcium from arteriosclerotic plaque. That's the stuff that
hardens the arteries and constricts blood flow to and from the heart. Studies have
shown that by reducing harmful plaque, EDTA reduces blood pressure in about
60% of high blood pressure patients. Not only that, EDTA can reduce or reverse
the effect of a stroke, particularly after the stroke, but even as late as two years
following a stroke and it can reduce the need for bypass surgical procedures.
EDTA can greatly reduce the need for lower extremity amputations.
Now comes a whole laundry list of benefits, as if the above wasn't enough. EDTA
dissolves kidney stones and protects against iron poisoning and toxic iron buildup
in the liver. Regular use has also been shown to improve memory as well as of
cholesterol buildup in the liver, thereby reducing blood cholesterol levels
throughout the body. By cleaning out our arteries and vessels, EDTA chelation
reduces or relaxes excessive heart contractions, helping to normalize 50% or
better, of irregular heart rhythms. The risk of heart attacks or strokes is greatly
reduced, especially as we age.
EDTA chelation helps to prevent and reduce osteoarthritis. It reduces and
alleviates the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Chelation helps to smooth skin
wrinkles and aids in restoring softer and more youthful skin in general. In addition, it
helps to lower insulin requirements for diabetics. It even dissolves large and small
blood clots. Studies and clinical trials have also shown that EDTA chelation can
reverse diabetic gangrene as well as restore impaired vision, particularly in the
diabetic whose suffering from macular degeneration. Diabetics should undoubtedly
talk to their nutritionists about EDTA.
EDTA chelation treatment can help patients with very advanced chronic diseases
and in the majority of cases bring the patient back to normal functioning. The
treatment can clean up the blood vessels and organs of even the most severely ill
patients, and many times the patient can then be successfully treated with the usual
conventional treatments. However, medical science in the U.S. seems to be geared
more to curing the disease after it's onset, rather than overall prevention. I just
have to wonder why more press and education isn't made readily available,
stressing simple and effective remedies, such as the subject of this article.
If I were a conspiracy theory advocate, I would almost suggest, as many people
have, that the amount of money involved in treating crisis conditions would preclude
the revenue generated from illness prevention, or wellness advocacy. It may end up
shaking the current status quo from it's complacency, possibly revolutionizing
health care, as currently practiced in America. How much better would it be if we
could spend more resources and attention on keeping people well, rather than
concentrating on trying to make people better after they are sick. We should
concentrate on health improvement and maintenance, possibly embracing non
conventional methodology presently outside the current confines of empirical
medicine.
Chelation therapy is great stuff but it's not a cure. There is no free lunch, so to
speak. It can help in reversing some diseases very well, open blocked blood
vessels, and restore circulation, but it is not a cure. If you don't pay attention to
diet, if you don't stop smoking, if you don't take the proper nutritional supplements,
if you don't exercise regularly, if you won't make the lifestyle changes necessary for
good health, then eventually you'll be back to square one or worse. EDTA is very
inexpensive, can be purchased over the counter, and is definitely worth a longer
look. Thanks for reading.
I specialize in general interest short article content, especially for my own content
sites. I love to write and I look forward to contributing many many more submissions,
hoping people will find some useful or entertaining info.
