Oral EDTA Chelation Is The Key to Surviving Toxic Heavy Metals!

If you have toxic heavy metals in your body, you need to get them out as soon as possible, and oral EDTA may be the solution for you!

  If you don't take care of this problem, you could end up with cardiovascular disease and other life-threatening modern-day diseases.

These modern-day illnesses have been linked to an overload of toxic heavy metals in the body:

  • Joint pain
  • Allergies
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Autism
  • ADD
  • ADHD
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Bone Pain
  • Gout
  • Arthritis
  • Anemia
  • Memory Loss
  • Depression
  • Nervous System Imbalances
  • Fatigue
  • Memory Problems
  • Cancer
  • A weakened immune system

Fortunately, you don't need a surgeon to remove toxic heavy metal ions from your body. It can be as simple as taking oral EDTA.

No matter how careful you are about eating organic foods and drinking purified water, unless you live in a glass bubble, it's impossible to avoid environmental pollutants and toxins. And as toxic heavy metals and other pollutants from the environment build up in your body's cells and tissues over time, these toxins can cause clinically significant damage, at best, and result in disability and death, at worst! However, you need not suffer these negative effects … read on to see how oral EDTA just might help.

Now, recent evidence suggests that long-term exposure to low levels of lead may also be a factor in cardiovascular disease!

Toxic heavy metal exposure also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. When lead or other heavy metals enter the endothelial cells that line the interior of blood vessels, they interfere with the ability of these cells to produce the extremely important messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO). Release of NO tells blood vessels when to relax and to expand, a primary mechanism in the control of blood pressure. Interference with this function by lead can result in hypertension (high blood pressure). It has also been linked to high cholesterol levels, atherosclerosis, diabetes, thrombus (blood clot) formation, and heart failure. Which is why it's imperative to reduce our exposure to toxic heavy metals … and remove what's already in our bodies, with oral EDTA as soon as possible!

Reducing toxic heavy metal exposure

Efforts to reduce toxic heavy metal exposure have traditionally focused on controlling emissions, and in some cases have resulted in significant reductions. For example, lead and zinc emissions have declined substantially since the 1970s.

That's the good news. The bad news is that we've still got a long way to go before the environment is as clean as it was prior to the Industrial Revolution. 1 While leaded gasoline has been banned from the US and a few other countries, cars in most countries—including most of the cars in Europe and China—still spew lead into the global atmosphere.

Toxic heavy metal pollution continues to proliferate

In some ways, toxic heavy metal pollution is actually increasing. Electronic waste from discarded computers and other hardware, is a main source of lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium found in landfills and incinerators. In fact, cathode-ray tubes from conventional monitors typically contain four to eight pounds of lead each!

In addition, toxic heavy metals in fertilizers wash into local waterways and ground water. In one survey of 29 fertilizers purchased in 12 different states, 22 toxic metals, including lead and arsenic were found. It's no wonder that the state of Iowa—an enormous user of chemical fertilizers—has one of the worlds' highest cancer rates!

It's a small world

Without a massive global effort, which is highly unlikely, excessive exposure is almost guaranteed. Toxic heavy metal contamination carried by wind and water spreads all over the globe. Storms as far away as China and Africa can spawn dust clouds capable of dumping toxic heavy metals, along with bacteria, fungi, and other pollutants, onto North America. Living on an organic farm in the middle of nowhere is no guarantee of safety. The only really safe place to hide is in a bubble. It's a small world, after all.

Does this mean we're all doomed? Not at all, but reducing the toxic heavy metal load in our bodies to "safe" levels requires a lot more than just getting the lead out of paint and gasoline. Humans have evolved physiologic defenses against many toxic substances. If all we had to worry about was background levels of toxins spewed out by volcanoes and forest fires, most bodies could handle the load. Given the reality of environmental pollution, though, minimizing the risks of toxic heavy metals means boosting the body's ability to flush the poisons out of the system. This is where oral EDTA comes in.
