Treating Cardiovascular Damage with EDTA
A well-regarded detoxifier of the cardiovascular system is sublingual EDTA. Chelation therapy is well-respected, but news here is that by taking EDTA under the tongue and holding it there for a few minutes, more of it gets absorbed into the blood than if it is taken as an oral pill or suppository. Sublingual absorption of EDTA is not as effective as an intravenous (IV) drip, but approximately 50-60 percent of this sublingual EDTA gets into the blood through the mucous membranes of the mouth.
The benefits in terms of cost and convenience of sublingual EDTA are significant. The standard protocol for certified IV chelation therapy consists of three sessions, each of which takes about three hours every week. This puts about 9 grams of EDTA into the bloodstream per week.
A typical cardiovascular repair strategy is to have three sessions a week for 2-3 months. This costs between $260 - $320 USD and takes over 9 hours in your doctor’s office each week. Even at that cost and fuss, this therapy is far safer and more affordable than most emergency heart operations.
If you are being advised to have heart surgery, be sure to get an alternate opinion on chelation therapy. For those who can’t afford the time and money of IV chelation but who do value its preventive medical benefits, consider a simple scoop of this powder held under the tongue twice a day. That 14 grams a week gets about 8 grams of EDTA into your bloodstream, at a fraction of the cost of IV chelation therapy.- Dr. Thomas S. Lee
