Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 i am taking keolation now and in simple terms i am told it cleans out the arteries. takes away plaque etc. metals in the system. i was told they used this method to clean pipes of crude. the use it on the body in much smaller does of course. they hook u up to a intervenes bottle and it takes about two and half hours per treatment. before u do all this the doctor goes over your case and tells u if u need it and how many treatments. u could go for two times a week or once a week for the number of treatments he thinks necessary. i was told i needed thirty treatments, then most go once a month, and later once ever second month. it is expensive and not covered by medical plans in canada to date. the vice president of the u s a is getting these treatments no. it is good for heart patients, cancer, diabetes. i have heard of tumors shrinking, circulation improve, eye sight improve. but i have had ten treatments now with no improvement in sight but blood sugars are improvbed. karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I bought a treadmill in May, and I walk on it for exercise. I prefer walking outdoors, but I now live in a neighborhood where this is impractical, since folks around here would run me over with their vehicles. Cars and trucks have the right of way, whereas a neighborhood I lived in previously in Florida the pedestrian had the right of way, and I liked walking there all the time in the street. It was also a low traffic neighborhood. The biggest advantage of the treadmill is I can walk on it in any kind of weather, rain or shine, sleet or snow without any problems.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Chelation therapy What is chelation therapy? Chelation therapy is a chemical process in which an amino acid is injected into the body to remove heavy metals and/or minerals from the body. Chelation means " to grab " or " to bind. " When the amino acid EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is injected into a person's veins, it " grabs " minerals such as lead, mercury, copper, iron, arsenic, aluminum, and calcium and removes them from the body. Outside of treatment for lead poisoning, chelation therapy is controversial and unproven. Chelation therapy is performed on an outpatient basis; hospitalization usually is not required. An IV (intravenous line) is placed, usually by a nurse or other qualified health professional, while the person reclines in a chair, and the EDTA is injected into the IV by a doctor. Treatment usually involves 20 to 30 sessions of EDTA injections. The sessions take place 1 to 3 times per week, and each session lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours. The average cost of 20 to 30 sessions of chelation therapy is around $3,000.1 What is chelation therapy used for? Chelation is a very effective way to treat heavy-metal poisoning. Chelation therapy is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of lead poisoning. Injected EDTA searches until it finds the harmful metal and binds with it, and both are then eliminated from the body through the kidneys.2 Chelation therapy has also been used by some health professionals to treat atherosclerosis and/or coronary artery disease, although there is no current scientific evidence that proves this treatment is effective. Some believe that EDTA binds with calcium deposits (the part of plaque that obstructs the flow of blood to the heart) in the arteries and then the calcium deposits are " cleaned out " of the arteries by the EDTA, reducing the risk of heart problems. This treatment is controversial, and research results have been inconsistent. Some health professionals also suspect that EDTA may act as an antioxidant by removing metals that combine with LDL cholesterol, which can damage arteries. The theory is that when metals that flow freely through arteries (such as copper or calcium) are removed, diseases such as atherosclerosis may be slowed down.2 Research has not proven this theory. Some experts are concerned that EDTA will remove calcium from healthy bones, muscles, and other tissues, as well as from diseased arteries. Many people have also reported less pain associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma after being treated with chelation therapy. The idea is that EDTA acts as an antioxidant, which protects the body from inflammation and protects blood vessels. Again, this idea has not yet been proven by scientific research. Is chelation therapy safe? Chelation therapy at any dose is not recommended for children, pregnant women, and people who have heart or renal failure. For others, chelation therapy in low doses appears to be safe.1 Many years ago, chelation therapy was given in high doses and may have been linked to kidney damage, irregular heartbeats, and other serious consequences. Even when this treatment is given in low doses, some negative effects may occur, including high blood pressure, headache, rash, low blood sugar, and/or thrombophlebitis. EDTA can remove vital minerals from the body along with the toxic metals. Vitamins and minerals are therefore added to the EDTA solution to help keep them at an appropriate level in the body to maintain health.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Jeff, Good information, some things here that I didn't know. One thing I forgot to mention, if you are sick with heavy metal poisoning and start taking chelation, you will not feel better the next day after you start. It may take 6 treatments or 10 or whatever before you start to notice a change, then after that you will get better faster and faster. Remember, EDTA for clogged arteries, IV, 3 to 4 hours per treatment, $100 to $125 average price each, 20 to 30 needed. You can sometimes use this to avoid bypass surgery. DMSA is used for heavy metal detox (lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminum), is a capsule taken orally at home, like a vitamin. No office visit or charge each time you take one, and no IV needle stick. DMPS - Obsolete, side effects. Say NO.
