Is it possible that chelation can remove too much calcium?
Dr. Gordon: This is not likely with IV treatment if you go to an ACAM-trained physician who follows our protocol, and it is impossible with oral EDTA. The body can’t have the ionic blood calcium level get too low or your heart would stop beating. However, when you lower it with EDTA, which ties up all the available calcium, the body immediately turns up the production of parathormone from the parathyroid gland, which then allows you to steal any calcium back into the blood to keep your heart beating. Amazingly enough, parathormone, activates two types of bone cells, osteoclasts that break down bone and release the calcium, and then bone-building cells called osteoblasts, that cause the bone to get stronger. So the more chelation we give people, the less osteoporosis they have and the less age-related calcium accumulation there is in their blood vessels. In other words, the average 80-year-old man, if you take the aorta out of his dead body, shows 140 times more calcium than he had at a
