ABSTRACT: Mortality from cancer was reduced 90% during an 18-year follow-up of 59 patients treated with EDTA chelation therapy. Only one of 59 treated patients (1.7%) died of cancer while 30 of 172 nontreated control subjects (17.6%) died of cancer (P = 0.002). Death from atherosclerosis was also reduced. Treated patients had no evidence of cancer at the time of entry into this study. Observations relate only to long term prevention of death from malignant disease, if chelation therapy is begun before clinical evidence of cancer occurs. Controls and treated patients lived in the same neighborhood, adjacent to a heavily traveled highway in a small Swiss city. Both groups were exposed to the same amount of lead from automobile exhaust, industrial pollution and other carcinogens. Exposure to carcinogens was no greater for the studied population than exists in most other metropolitan areas throughout the world. Statistical analysis showed EDTA chelation therapy to be the only significant difference between controls and treated patients to explain the marked reduction in cancer mortality. Faculty of the University of Zurich Medical School reviewed this data

[NOTE: The above study shows benefit only as a preventative, before any evidence of cancer was detected. Chelation was administered in relatively young patients who had no evidence of cancer at the time of treatment. They were subsequently followed for another 18 years. The results therefore cannot be applied to patients with an established diagnosis of cancer.]
