EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid) is a common man-made amino acid, and modern medicine has long known the benefits of the application of EDTA chelation therapy. The American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), estimates are that at least 500 000 patients have received over 10 000 000 EDTA chelation treatments without a single fatality attributed to it. The same cannot be said for surgical procedures or taking pharmaceutical drugs.

In the words of Prof. Linus Pauling, a two time Nobel Prize winner, who strongly defended and advocated the use of chelation therapy:

"EDTA chelation therapy makes good sense to me as a chemist and medical researcher. It has a rational scientific basis, and the evidence for clinical benefit seems to be quite strong... Published research and extensive clinical experience show that EDTA helps to reduce and prevent atherosclerotic plaques, thus improving blood flow to the heart and other organs. The scientific evidence indicates that a course of EDTA chelation therapy might eliminate the need for bypass surgery. Chelation has an equally valid rationale for use as a preventive treatment."

It is hard to imagine why today, despite its long history, the fact that it has caused no fatalities and its incredible success rate that so little is known about chelation therapy. One of the greatest benefits of EDTA chelation therapy is that it is very safe. There are very few medical procedures or pharmaceutical drugs that are able to report the record of safety that oral chelation can.

French-Swiss chemist, Alfred Werner developed the theory of the coordination of chelates. He received a Nobel Prize in 1913 and went on to create a process by which metals bind to organic molecules, which forms the basis for chelation chemistry. It was first used to treat heavy metal poisoning, when it became obvious that not only did EDTA eliminate the poisoning, it also relieved patients of arteriosclerosis, chest pains, arthritis, memory loss, inability to concentrate, etc.

Chelation is frequently used in the successful treatment of osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and organic poisoning. It is also used a treatment to reduce the presence of heavy metals in the body.

After becoming aware of the benefits of this treatment, heart specialists at Wayne State University used EDTA on a group of patients that were believed to have incurable conditions - even the most seriously ill of the group were restored to near normalcy.

Despite the incredible success of EDTA chelation, the FDA tried to limit promoting the success of chelation therapy. However, in 1978, Dr. Ray Evers won a precedent case regarding a physician's right to use legal drugs approved by the FDA for a specific condition, for the treatment of conditions other than what the drug has been approved for.

One has to ask why these limitations were ever imposed. One only has to be aware of the enormous amounts of money being made from angioplasty, bypass surgeries, other high tech procedures and pharmaceutical drugs to begin to understand why a more effective, safer and cheaper therapy for circulatory problems is denied legitimacy in the medical establishment. The whole industry that has been built up around cardiovascular conditions generates enormous profits for everyone involved, except of course for the patients.

Thereby lays the answer to my question. My decades of research into health and longevity answers all these puzzling questions of “why?” with the same answer, “look for the money”. To whom is this financially beneficial? Who benefits most in hiding these truths?

The American Medical Association, while not yet endorsing EDTA chelation therapy for arteriosclerosis, does now approve its use in the treatment of lead and other heavy metal poisoning. EDTA, however, also works to clear the sludge from arteries, thus improving the entire cardiopulmonary vascular system.

Please note on the following

Please be aware that chelation has the ability to thin your blood thus increasing blood flow. If you are on blood thinners or heart medication, please seek advice from a medical professional, preferably an integrative doctor that is also a fully qualified medical doctor, knowledgeable in both conventional and alternative medication. It is advisable to stop taking blood thinning medication such as Warfarin, Pradaxa, or aspirin during chelation therapy.

Please note that you should always consult with a medical doctor before stopping any medication.

EDTA is a nonspecific chelator, and everyone who uses EDTA will have less lead in their blood and, presumably, in their body. It is important to note that zinc gets expelled very fast in the urine when taking EDTA, which can easily lead to a zinc deficiency. This deficiency can, however, be easily counteracted by taking the Youthing Boddy Drops in your drinking water. You may also choose to take a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement that contains more zinc.

Boddy Chelation can be used if you have heart complaints, calcium deficiency, osteoporosis, rheumatism or any neurological disease.

Product directions:

One 70 gram container of Boddy-Chelation and Boddy Ascorbic is approximately a 70-day regimen (serving size: quarter teaspoon/1 gram) for anybody weighing up to 70 kilograms increase the dosage according to your weight. You can then start another course after a two week break. This can be repeated as often as required, especially in the case of high cholesterol, heart complaints, calcium deficiency osteoporosis, rheumatism or any neurological disease. Check your pH levels regularly, boosting with the Boddy-Alkaline booster to restore lost minerals. You should take these two hours after your last meal (to prevent nutrition depletion). and it is best not to lie down for another 30 minutes.

Side effects: Although non-toxic, Boddy-Chelation can produce minor side effects in some people: stomach upset, diarrhoea, and frequent urination may occur. If any of these side-effects occur, lower the dosage or discontinue use for one week, and then continue with treatment.

Kidney and liver function: In the case of inactive kidney or liver functions, please seek medical advice.
