How does oral chelation benefit the arteries?
When the cells inside your arteries are damaged by free radicals they don’t always die instantly. Often they get weak. When they get weaker, they lose some of their ability to get rid of toxins, primarily calcium (which is toxic to arteries but obviously not toxic to bones). If the cell inside the artery can’t get rid of calcium, and calcium accumulates inside the cell. After a while, the cell dies. At that point the cell could be said to be “calcified.” It is mostly calcium. Calcium is strongly attracted electromagnetically by the open-ended molecular structure of EDTA (ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid) – a weak synthetic amino acid – that is circulating in the blood during the oral chelation treatment. This results in the calcium ion being incorporated into the EDTA molecular structure, forming a closed ring. When this process takes place, the metal is said to be chelated, and EDTA is termed the chelating agent. When calcium (or other divalent metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium,
