Does EDTA chelation therapy reverse atherosclerosis?
In some cases it may help but this depends on many factors. The efficacy and mechanism of action is still being studied. We have noticed that it is most effective when elevated levels of heavy metals are present. Several theories have been proposed for the mechanism of action. One theory suggests that EDTA chelation might work by directly removing calcium found in fatty plaques that block the arteries, causing the plaques to break up. Another is that the process of chelation may stimulate the release of a hormone that in turn causes calcium to be removed from the plaques or causes a lowering of cholesterol levels. A third theory is that EDTA chelation therapy may work by reducing the damaging effects of oxygen ions (oxidative stress) on the walls of the blood vessels. Reducing oxidative stress could reduce inflammation in the arteries and improve blood vessel function. Since EDTA is also an anticoagulant it may work by preventing the collection of platelets which can lead to formation
