The word chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is derived from the Greek word chele, meaning claw, and was first employed in medicine in 1941.

Chelation therapy is a well recognized treatment for lead poisoning, and has been used to remove this poison metal from the bodies of children and other patients for over 45 years. The treatment has also been applied for reversal of hardening of the arteries with great success. Chelation therapy is extensively documented in medical literature, with many hundreds of clinical and laboratory journals published in the English language.
It was introduced into the United States in 1948. Presently, about 6000 physicians in ibis country offer the intravenous treatment. Several millions of injections have been administered by them, to tens of thousands of patients.

The goal of the physician who gives chelation therapy is to help restore adequate blood flow through his patients' occluded arteries, and to relieve symptoms of arterial insufficiency anywhere in the body. This mode of therapy often relieves the symptoms caused by atherosclerotic plaque, which hardens and obstructs blood vessel walls.
Dr. A. T. Still, founder of the Osteopathic School of Medicine, (a complete, modern school of medicine which emphasizes disease prevention, as well as curing disease), said over 100 years ago to his students: "Boys, remember, the law of the artery is supreme!" Thus, improved arterial flow of blood cannot but help improve any disease process which either directly or indirectly is the result of poor blood flow. Such diseases as diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, high blood pressure, kidney disorders of many types, including some types of kidney stones, senility, multiple sclerosis, heavy metal poisoning, and a variety of malfunctions and disabilities where the basic issue is an interference with the flow of blood to a cell, tissue, organ or body part.
The substance used in chelation therapy is an amino acid called ethylene-diaminetetra-acetic acid, or EDTA, which tends to grasp or bind with ionic calcium that is found in pathological calcium deposits in the arteries. When given according to the protocol established through much research under the auspices of the American Academy for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM), a national scientific organization which consists of noted PhD's M.D.'s and D.O.'s, with careful testing of kidney function, there have been no adverse effects reported. It is a safe procedure, and may well be an alternative to dangerous procedures of surgery on these occluded blood vessels.

I have given chelation therapy over the past 23 years in my office and have personally received 24 treatments. I'm in my mid-70's and in all those years i have seen no ill effects. I believe it is a viable, safe treatment.
