PUSHING BACK AGE
Chelation...................................................................................
Chelation is a powerful way to quickly improve oxygenation
of blood. The most important rule to observe, though, is to take
the treatment slowly. Especially if ethylene diamine tetra
acetate (EDTA) is being used to remove heavy metals, it is im-
portant to take the treatment over a two hour time period. Mini
doses may be given in a shorter time. Generally, you are in
charge of the flow rate. Discuss it with the nurse. Weekly
chelations can correct many problems of the elderly that no other
treatment could.
Because of hostility from insurance companies who do not
wish to add another cost to their ledger and doctors indoctrinated
with misinformation, bad publicity is given to this wonderful,
life-prolonging mode of treatment. Clinical doctors who have no
time to really investigate the statistics of chelation treatments and
for whom this is purely competition may feel antagonistic to
these treatments. Your loved one should not be the one who must
suffer from medical politics. Go to see for yourself what
chelation is all about. The receptionist should be glad to show
you around. The secret is to talk to the patients themselves. They
are usually sitting around a room, eating their lunch and reading
as their IV's drip. The pulse, blood pressure and blood chemistry
is also carefully monitored. Sit down with them to find out their
stories. Get a realistic picture of benefits and costs.
Pulse..........................................................................................
The pulse reflects the heartbeat. A slow pulse can give weird
brain symptoms besides great fatigue. The cause is usually a drug
that is being taken to correct a fast pulse! Check with the nurse.

drugs responsible are usually “beta blockers”,
