EDTA is a man-made synthetic amino acid, which works at removing toxins from your blood by binding salts to molecules once it’s been administered to your body. After EDTA attaches to the heavy metals in your blood, they both move together to the kidneys, where they are eliminated from the body via your urine or fecal matter.
Types of Chelation Therapy
There are several types of chelation therapy to choose from, depending on the type of heavy metal poisoning you are suffering from. These include:
- Chelation with Calcium-Disodium EDTA
- Chelation with Magnesium EDTA (administered via intravenous injections)
- EDTA suppositories
Sometimes a different substance known as DMPS (2,3 –Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid) is used as an alternative to EDTA. Both chelating agents work similarly.
Chelation Therapy and Cancer
Chelation therapy can prove to be beneficial to you if you are a cancer patient or if you are at risk for developing certain types of cancer. Immuno-suppressant heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, and uranium are known human carcinogens. Chelation therapy therefore can prove effective at preventing cancer from developing by removing the toxins from your system.
EDTA chelation can also be used to remove excessive free radicals , highly unstable chemicals that attack, penetrate, and damage healthy cells and causes them to mutate into cancerous cells – from the body. Since one of the underlying causes of cancer is excessive free radical damage within cells, chelation therapy can be a literal lifesaver for you. It works by getting rid of excess free radicals and enabling your body to restore its natural vitamin and mineral levels, allowing your cells to repair themselves before cancer takes hold.
Chelation therapy may also be beneficial for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. To successfully defeat cancer, it’s important you keep stress at bay. Additionally, the therapy restores your energy levels and can be a significant benefit to you. Chelation therapy naturally supports your immune system and strengthens it, making it a vital key in overcoming cancer.
