A Textbook on EDTA Chelation Therapy: Second Edition / Edition 2

by Elmer M. Cranton

Overview

EDTA chelation therapy removes from the human body, with relative safety and without surgery, metallic ions that play an important role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Dr. Elmer Cranton's compilation of the most current and pertinent information on EDTA chelation therapy is now back in print, with even more information about chelation's effects, protocols, and status based on the latest research. Find out why more than a thousand physicians in the United States already offer EDTA chelation therapy as a safer and far less expensive alternative to surgical treatments for atherosclerosis.
