Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Thanks Gaylen, I just read some of the precautions on the use of EDTA and that was enough to discourage the use of this type of Chealtion. I will paste the precautions below. Precautions EDTA infusions must be given slowly and treatments are scheduled at least 24 hours apart. The most common side effect reported is a burning sensation at the site of the intravenous injection. In addition, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to EDTA. Other serious side effects that have been reported include low blood sugar, diminished calcium levels, headache, nausea, dangerously low blood pressure, kidney failure, organ damage, irregular heartbeat, seizures, or even death. A qualified healthcare provider will monitor blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, organ function, and other vital statistics during treatment with EDTA. EDTA may diminish desirable nutrients such as calcium and zinc. For this reason, your health care provider will keep a close eye on these as well.

At that time, a large part of her practice was chelation. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Gaylen-- Dr. Pharo is a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) in the Heights area. My kids have seen her for their medical vaccine exemptions. She never mentioned that she does chelation. When did you use her? There is a Dr. Borochoff who is an experienced doctor in adult chelation, but as of 3 years ago, he wasn't taking children any more.
