"Tell Doc that my heart is doing much better and I think the chelation is what did the trick. The other docs just shake their heads in wonderment. I say nothing! Thanks, Doc."

More of your questions about chelationChelation involves administering a man-made amino acid complex called ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) into the veins to clear the system of such heavy metals as lead or mercury. However, doctors noticed that chelation also seemed to decrease patients' angina pain and improve their memories.

EDTA clears the bloodstream of heavy metals by seeking them out and binding to them. The body then flushes out the EDTA, taking the metals along with it. There are two theories for why the therapy might work for other problems. One is that EDTA also binds to free radicals, highly active molecular fragments that can damage tissues and perhaps the lining of the blood vessels-the other is that it binds to calcium in the bloodstream, resulting in a series of actions that can improve cellular and vascular health.

Chelation can make blood vessels more open, pliable and flexible by reducing inflammation and plaque density. This improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, and it improves cardiovascular disease and vascular disease in the legs. It also helps treat diabetes and osteoarthritis. Chelation can help some people with memory loss and cataracts because of they way it clears the heavy metal toxins from the bloodstream.

Chelation therapy involves intravenous EDTA drips once a week, a process that takes about three hours. You can eat and drink normally during the procedure. Most patients need at least 20 treatments, and some need as many as 40. After 30 weeks, patients who are continuing with the therapy switch to one treatment per month. Most patients report that they are feeling better after 10 to 15 treatments. It is critical for anyone interested in chelation therapy to go to an experienced practitioner.

“I want to thank you. I feel I owe you and your staff my life. I have had tremendous positive results from your chelation therapy and vitamins. I now have more energy and strength than I’ve had in 20 years. My artery disease symptoms have disappeared (after a heart attack and four angioplasties). I just really feel great. My long-distance eyesight has greatly improved and the bald spot on the back of my head now has a lot more hair than it had.

Mentally I am positive, positive, positive, because during the many hours of therapy at your medical center I have talked to approximately 50 people and the majority of them have said they have had great results. No one, I repeat, no one had anything negative to say about the treatments. I am sorry that I must mention one negative thing, I don’t like getting stuck with a needle – a small price to pay for good health.

Doc, I have had major heart problems for the past 12 years and I have had many good doctors. I must tell you, Doc, you are the best by far. Keep up the great work.”

“Just a brief note to left you know the progress I have had with chelation therapy for macular degeneration. Since my first treatment on June 20,1995, the following is some of the progress I have made:

• I can now read the time on a clock on the wall and my wristwatch.
• I can now see the denominations of paper currency.
• I can now easily put a key in the keyhole of a door.
• I can now easily put a plug into an electrical outlet.
• I can now clearly see the food on my plate.
• I can now pour a cup of coffee without having it run over.
• I recently built a grapevine arbor and could see the nails well enough to hammer them in.

Several ophthalmologists and a retinal specialist who examined me said they could offer nothing to help my macular degeneration. The quality of life, as far as my vision is concerned, is greatly improved thanks to chelation therapy.”

“In March 1997, I was told I had macular degeneration and there was no treatment or cure. Fortunately my son had a friend with the same condition (who) had been treated with very good results.

My eyesight had gotten so bad that I couldn’t do many of the things I liked. I could not see to read the newspaper or magazines. For some time, I had been unable to work at my woodworking because I couldn’t see the marks on a ruler anymore.

I have had 36 chelation treatments to date and I am very pleased with my progress. I am now able to work in my woodshop again and can see to read with no problem. I can see well enough to thread a needle.”

“Just before I went to Dr. Allan Magaziner’s office I was suffering from arthritis — my shoulders, neck, fingers, back and knees. It was very difficult trying to sleep at night with the pain in my shoulders. I went to my doctor who prescribed a strong painkiller. I don’t know which was worse, the pills had such a terrible reaction on me. I knew I was getting very depressed. I had to use a cane to walk, and climbing stairs was almost impossible. My fingers would hurt so much and looked as though they were twisting out of shape.

After six chelation treatments, I was free of pain, could walk without a cane, and walk up and down the stairs. I also noticed that I don’t have any more problems with hemorrhoids, lumps under my arms, and a cold numb spot that I had on my left thigh. Overall, I feel so much better since I have been getting my treatments. I know chelation has helped me and I plan to continue my treatments. God bless you and your family. You have been so kind to me.”

“When I was 55 years old I had four bypasses. Since then, I’ve had 11 catheterizations and three angioplasties. In the fall of 1994, I was sent home from the hospital with the advice that there was nothing else that could be done. I had heard of chelation therapy and felt I would try it. I was always bothered by angina, even after the surgery.

Since I have been on chelation therapy, I have gotten progressively better. Practically all of the things that I couldn’t do before, I can now do without angina.

I have been able to stay out of the hospital for almost three years now. I certainly have a much better quality of life now and have been very satisfied with the chelation treatment.”

I was feeling very old, walking was painful, taking steps was hard to do, and getting up from bed or a seat was most difficult. I was always exhausted. My joints were stiff and painful. I didn’t start chelation therapy with those problems in mind. I wanted to avoid open-heart surgery that most of my family had. In fact, one aunt had it twice.

The day after my first chelation treatment, I was very surprised to notice most of my pain was gone and the swelling in my knees had gone. This was totally unexpected. By the end of the first week, all of the stiffness and pain was gone and has been ever since. Now I get out of bed and chairs, and up the steps normally. I feel well, full of pep, and I’m happy.
