Forty Something Forever: A Consumer's Guide to Chelation Therapy and Other Heart Savers

n 1974 as a senior at Kansas State College, finishing up my degree in Biology/Chemistry I chose for my senior research project "Cadmium poisoning in Blue Green Algae". In this study I learned, first hand, the value EDTA can have on living systems. Plant mitochondria and animal mitochondria operate in exactly the same way, producing energy for living systems. It happens that in the most fundamental "engine" of our bodies, the Krebs Cycle, living systems, both plant and animal, are vulnerable to heavy metal poisoning.Enzymes are the tools living systems use to extract energy from the nutrients we take in. I do not know the exact number but somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 percent (give or take 10) of these enzymes are "sulf-hydryl" enzymes. That is, they are ordinary enzymes that have sulfur and hydrogen attached.This is the problem. Heavy metals are strongly attracted to these sulfhydryl sites and after attaching they render the enzyme unusable by our systems. What are heavy metals? Lead, we all know lead can kill us, mercury and arsenic, the same. But the list also includes aluminum, cadmium and other metals that we do not normally consider toxic.So - what's the big deal? First, heavy metals in our systems are like "Hotel California" they check in ok but don't check out. They stay in our cells for a very very long time. Thus we are accumulating them throughout the course of our lives. Second, the more heavy metals we have in our system the less efficient our energy manufacturing facilities are. It is exactly analogous to pulling two spark plug wires off the engine of your car. It will not have the energy it needs to perform.It is my OPINION that many of the gradually debilitating diseases we seem to have so much in this country could be avoided if our bodies were performing at maximum efficiency.Chelation therapy - what this book is about - "gets the lead out" and the arsenic and the cadmium and the aluminum and restores your body's energy production system back to full steam. This is a good thing!Not surprisingly, when your body's energy production system is in top shape a lot of very interesting things happen. The blood supply to your brain increases, Your cardiovascular system begins to perform better and on and on and on.In my research when I had apparently killed a colony of blue-green algae completely, nothing left in the E-flask but an ugly brown clump lurking in the very bottom. I could sprinkle a little EDTA in the flask, give it a good shake, and two days later there would be a green vibrant mass of healthy algae!What do the MDs say? (this is America and I am, so far, still allowed to express my opinions) They do not like it because EDTA is not a patentable compound therefore there is not a lot of money to be made by the drug companies. AND a quadruple bypass makes a lot more money for a physician than $3,000 for a series of ten IV treatments of EDTA. What else do they say? They say that it strips out all of the calcium from your body and you will break all your bones, Also, in my opinion, horse hocky. I have been doing chelation for the last 15 years and I know dozens of folks in the same boat and so far, not one broken bone, or calcium deficiency among us. It is wise to take a mineral supplement when doing chelation so that the body can be assured of maintaining the proper levels of good metals.Note to L. Berg, another review writer. Do yourself a favor and compare the number of deaths/strokes resulting from bypass surgery to the statistics on chelation. Truth is a good thing!

I was given this book as a gift from a friend. My family has a history of heart disease so in 1998 I started seeing a cardiologist. I had been taking statin drugs for over 9 years and still had a full for coronary blockage in November of 2011 (which I never expected to happen). I started Chelation treatments in February of 2012 based upon this book and speaking with other people who have gone through these treatments. All of my "cholesterol" numbers greatly improved with only changing really one thing.....performing these Chelation treatments.My ejection fraction (how much blood your heart pumps) went from 48% to 53% in less than 5 months. In the room that I receive these treatments in, I hear nothing but success stories from real people from all walks of life and income classes. People sent home from the doctor saying there is nothing else we can do for you then going back to that doctor 100% cured. There is no bias from real people telling me stories that it REALLY helped them with the problem they were having.Chelation improves circulation in the body removing plaque buildup from arteries. I understand that many cardiologists don't believe in this treatment and that people are wasting money but that is NOT true.I will keep receiving my Chelation treatments and only except the best. Please read the book and make your own informed decision. I know that this has changed my life and want to share my humble story with all readers here.Good Luck.Steve

Very informative. My cardiology collegues seem to disagree on the accurateness of the content.I need more supportive data for an informed opinion.

If you are considering chelation, this is a great book to read. I have given it as a gift to many friends and family.

This book contains such life saving information and help concerning Chelation Therapy. If you know of anyone with heart issues, they need to read this book.

This is exactly what I wanted and the condition was better than expected...thanks guys. I'll be glad to do business with these folks any time.
