Does Chelation lower the levels of calcium in bones and teeth?
No, in fact it can increase bone calcium. The reason is this – when the chelating substance removes calcium from the blood stream, the body will automatically start pulling calcium from other parts of the body to make up for the loss in the blood. (Serum calcium needs to stay at a constant level for heart function). The most available calcium is the calcium that is deposited in the arterial walls known as calcium apatite. Other areas of the body also surrender their calcium; these are calcium deposits that are in arthritic joints, tendons, kidneys stones, underneath skin and calcified bursae that can often lead to bursitis. At the same time, the EDTA also stimulates the parathyroid to release a hormone called parathormone. Parathormone activates 2 types of bone cells, the osteoclasts and the osteoblasts. The osteoclasts break down bones and release calcium and the osteoblasts will then build new bone, making the bones stronger. This bone building process continues for months after chel
