EDTA has been used safely on many health issues over the last 60 years. Due to its primary effectiveness in chelating unwanted toxic metals and minerals from the body, EDTA has been shown to provide many secondary benefits as well.

Below are some conditions that Chelation has also been used for:


Alzheimer's disease: A progressive and fatal brain disease. Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It is the most common form of dementia. Vascular dementia, another common type of dementia, is caused by reduced blood flow to parts of the brain. In mixed dementia, Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia occur together. Increasing circulation with liquid chelation therapy brings blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, increasing energy and alertness.

Angina: A squeezing pain or pressure feeling in the chest. It is most often caused by blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy, can assure a healthy blood flow with oxygen to the heart.

Arteriosclerosis: The thickening and hardening of the artery walls. It is usually preceded by Atherosclerosis (a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries). The most risky places for degeneration are the heart vessels and the arteries of the brain. Arteriosclerosis results in the loss of elasticity of the blood vessels and a narrowing of the arteries, which interferes with circulation. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy can help the body function closer to normal.

Autoimmune Disease: A type of illness that occurs when the body tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Some examples include: Diabetes Mellitus, Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Trans fats, mercury and other heavy metals, lack of sleep, lack of exercise and stress can all affect the balance of the immune system. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation, can assure a healthy blood flow throughout the entire body.

Bursitis: The painful inflammation or irritation of the bursa. The bursa is a soft, fluid-filled sac that covers and cushions the movement between bones, tendons and muscles near the joints. It usually occurs in the shoulders, elbows, hips, heels and knees. Increasing blood flow by removing mineral deposits and heavy metals from the body; liquid EDTA chelation treatment can assist in reducing blockage in the arteries and veins.

Cardiac Arrhythmia: A change in the rhythm of the heartbeat. Arrhythmia can mean the heart beats irregularly (skips a beat or has an extra beat), tachycardia (too fast) or bradycardia (too slow). The most common cause of arrhythmia is heart disease, particularly Coronary Artery Disease, where there is blockage to the flow of blood to the heart; and heart failure, where the heart can’t pump enough blood through the body. Increasing circulation with liquid chelation therapy brings blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, increasing energy and alertness.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD): A broad term used to describe a range of diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins). They include: Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Attack, Heart Failure, High Blood Pressure and Stroke. CVD is most often caused by atherosclerosis (fatty build up in the arteries), which can lead to arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This causes a reduction in blood flow to the organs and tissues of the body. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy, can assure a healthy blood flow with oxygen to the heart.

Coronary Artery Disease: The blood flow through the coronary arteries becomes obstructed by the gradual build up of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis). Eventually, diminished blood flow may cause angina or shortness of breath. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy can help the body function closer to normal.

Diabetes Mellitus: A metabolic disorder in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin (Insulin Resistance). This causes sugars to build up too high in the blood (hyperglycemia). Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar and starches into energy for the body. Insulin resistance is associated with atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation, can assure a healthy blood flow throughout the entire body.

Diabetic Neuropathy: A common complication of diabetes, resulting in temporary or permanent damage to nerve tissue. Nerve injuries are caused by decreased circulation and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels). Increasing blood flow by removing mineral deposits and heavy metals from the body; liquid EDTA chelation treatment can assist in reducing blockage in the arteries and veins.

Diabetic Retinopathy: The most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in American adults. It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina, and usually affects both eyes. In some people with diabetic retinopathy, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. In other people, blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. Increasing circulation with liquid chelation therapy brings blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) / Impotence: The process of achieving an erection is complex and problems may occur. These can be psychological, physical or a combination of the two. Physical causes are related to a breakdown in the sequence of events that lead to an erection. This sequence involves nerve impulses, and a subsequent response in the muscles, tissues, veins and arteries. The breakdown is most commonly the result of a disease such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and atherosclerosis. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy can help the body function closer to normal.

Fatigue: The state of feeling very tired, weary or sleepy from insufficient sleep, prolonged mental and physical work, or extended periods of stress or anxiety. Fatigue can be described as either acute or chronic. It can be caused by a wide array of illnesses or diseases such as: Diabetes, Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease and High Blood Pressure. This is due to poor circulation of the blood throughout the body. A good diet (including vitamins), exercise and plenty of sleep can help increase circulation in the body along with a safe, effective chelation program. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation, can assure a healthy blood flow throughout the entire body, increasing energy and alertness.

Fibromyalgia: A condition that causes pain in the muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons (Tender Points). Common tender points are the front of the knees, the elbows, the hip joints and around the neck. Fibromyalgia may occur alone or in conjunction with rheumatic disorders such as arthritis and osteoarthritis. Symptoms include widespread pain, fatigue, problems concentrating, headaches, vision problems and numbness or tingling. Increasing blood flow by removing mineral deposits and heavy metals from the body; liquid EDTA chelation treatment can assist in reducing blockage in the arteries and veins.

Gangrene: A term used to describe conditions in which tissue becomes necrotic and decays. Gangrene occurs when blood cannot reach a part of the body, so that tissue is no longer getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs. Most often it occurs in the extremities of the body such as the feet or hands. It may occur from a blood clot or insufficient circulation. Diabetics are particularly susceptible to gangrene due to impaired circulation. Increasing circulation with liquid chelation therapy brings blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.

Glaucoma: A group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eye rises, and is believed to be caused by poor blood flow to the optic nerve. Without proper nourishment from the blood, the fibers of the optic nerve can die. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy can help the body function closer to normal.

Headaches: There are four types of headache: vascular, muscle contraction (tension), traction and inflammatory. The most common type of vascular headache is migraine. Other kinds of vascular headaches include “cluster” headaches and headaches resulting from high blood pressure. Traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders, such as stroke and cardiac ischemia. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation, can assure a healthy blood flow throughout the entire body, increasing energy and alertness.

Heart Failure: A chronic, progressive disease in which the heart muscle weakens and can not pump blood efficiently to the other organs and tissues of the body. This causes fluid retention and symptoms of shortness of breath and tiredness. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy, can assure a healthy blood flow with oxygen to the heart.

There are 4 stages of heart failure:

Class 1 - If you have Class 1 heart failure you will have no limitation of activities. You won’t experience symptoms from ordinary activities.

Class 2 - If you have Class 2 heart failure you will have mild limitation of activity. You are comfortable with rest or mild exertion.

Class 3 - If you have Class 3 heart failure you will have marked limitation of activity and be comfortable only at rest.

Class 4 - You should be at complete rest, confined to bed or chair; any physical activity brings on discomfort and symptoms occur at rest.

*Chelation Therapy along with a healthy diet, good exercise and regular check-ups with your doctor can help avoid heart failure.

Heavy Metal Poisoning: Heavy metals that become poisonous to the body when they are not metabolized or excreted, and accumulate in organs and tissues. They enter the body through water, air, food or absorption through the skin.

● Aluminum – The most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. Toxicity can result in aching muscles, speech problems, anemia, digestive problems, lowered liver function, colic and impaired kidney function. Aluminium can come from everyday items such as: food additives, antacids, buffered aspirin, cooking utensils, tobacco smoke, etc. It is particularly poisonous to the nervous system with a range of symptoms that can include disturbed sleep, nervousness, emotional instability, memory loss, headaches, and impaired intellect. After years of accumulated exposure and storage of it in body tissues, this poison can have results ranging from brain degeneration to skeletal deformities.

● Arsenic – The most common cause of acute heavy metal poisoning. Arsenic may be found in water supplies. Other sources are paints, rat poisoning and fungicides. Target organs are the blood, kidneys & central nervous, digestive & skin systems.

● Lead – Lead accounts for most of the cases of pediatric heavy metal poisoning. Most lead produced is used in batteries. Other sources are paints, PVC plastics and pesticides. Target organs that are affected are the bones, blood, brain, kidneys and thyroid gland.

● Iron (Hemachromatosis) – Iron may accumulate in the body when a person is given repeated blood transfusions, has chronic alcoholism or takes an overdose of Iron supplement. Target organs that are affected are the liver, thyroid, pituitary, hypothalamus, heart, pancreas and joints.

*EDTA Chelation Therapy can remove heavy metals and excessive mineral deposits from the body, reducing the risk for overload or toxicity.

Hypertension / High Blood Pressure: A condition that occurs when the pressure inside of your large arteries is too high. It is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder to pump blood to the body and it contributes to hardening of the arteries or arteriosclerosis and the development of heart failure. The exact cause of hypertension is unknown, but there are many conditions that could contribute to its symptoms. These include: obesity, lack of exercise, stress, dehydration, heavy salt intake, aging, excessive drinking, abnormalities in the nervous system and circulatory & kidney problems. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation, can assure a healthy blood flow throughout the entire body.

Multiple Sclerosis: A chronic, potentially debilitating disease that affects your central nervous system, which is made up of your brain and spinal cord. Multiple sclerosis is widely believed to be an autoimmune disease, a condition in which your immune system attacks components of your body as if they're foreign. The body mistakenly directs antibodies and white blood cells against proteins in the myelin sheath, a fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers in your brain and spinal cord. This results in inflammation and injury to the sheath and ultimately to the nerves that it surrounds. The result may be multiple areas of scarring (sclerosis). This damage can slow or block nerve signals throughout the body. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy can help the body function closer to normal.

Osteoarthritis: A chronic condition in which tissue known as cartilage breaks down. When this tissue deteriorates, it leaves the bones to rub against each other, causing pain and stiffness. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints. Osteoarthritis commonly affects the hands, feet, spine and large weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees. It is mostly associated with aging; the water content of the cartilage increases and the protein makeup of cartilage degenerates. Repetitive use of the joints over the years irritates and inflames the cartilage, causing joint pain and swelling. Eventually, cartilage begins to degenerate by flaking or forming tiny crevasses. Because EDTA acts as a good anti-inflammatory, oral chelation therapy can help relieve pains and conditions caused by arthritis and increase circulation.

Parkinson's disease: A disease that causes a progressive loss of nerve cell function in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. Progressive means that this disease's effects get worse over time. Not all cases are alike. People who have Parkinson's disease experience tremors or shaking as a result of the damage to their nerve cells. The disease develops as cells are destroyed in certain parts of the brain stem. Parkinson’s also impairs nerve endings in the heart. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation, can assure a healthy blood flow throughout the entire body, increasing energy and alertness.

Raynaud's Disease: A condition that affects the blood supply to the fingers, toes and occasionally the ears and nose. During a Raynaud’s attack, or episode, the blood vessels constrict (narrow) and the blood supply to these areas is reduced. This results in several skin color changes which are often accompanied by a throbbing or burning sensation, cold, and numbness. Increasing circulation with liquid chelation therapy brings blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and limitation in the motion and function of multiple joints. The hands, wrists, feet and knees are usually the first joints affected. Over time, it may also affect other joints, such as your jaw, shoulders or hips. Though joints are the principal body parts affected by RA, inflammation can develop in other organs as well. RA is classified as an autoimmune disease, which develops because certain cells of the immune system malfunction and attack healthy joints. Because EDTA acts as a good anti-inflammatory, oral chelation therapy can help relieve pains and conditions caused by arthritis and increase circulation.

Scleroderma: A rheumatic disease of the connective tissues. It is a chronic, degenerative disorder accompanied by widespread vascular deterioration and tissue loss. It is not only a rheumatic disease, but also has a blood vessel component. Inflammation in the body’s blood vessels leads to their narrowing. Further damage from the inflammation and impact of the increased blood pressure can lead to destruction of smaller arteries. As a result, fibrosis takes place. This process can have devastating implications and the heart and lungs can suffer a significant loss in efficiency. Reducing blockage and increasing circulation through EDTA chelation therapy can help the body function closer to normal.

Stroke prevention: A "brain attack" that occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery (a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the body) or a blood vessel (a tube through which the blood moves through the body) breaks, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. When either of these things happens, brain cells begin to die and brain damage occurs. When brain cells die during a stroke, abilities controlled by that area of the brain are lost. These abilities include speech, movement and memory. How a stroke patient is affected depends on where the stroke occurs in the brain and how much the brain is damaged. The two most common factors that increase the risk of having a stroke are: High Blood Pressure, which weakens the walls of the arteries; and Atherosclerosis, which narrows arteries. Increasing circulation with liquid chelation therapy brings blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.
