A Textbook on EDTA Chelation Therapy, Second Edition
Edited by Elmer M. Cranton, M.D.
Foreword by Linus Pauling, Ph.D.
Chelation therapy using intravenous infusion of EDTA is a highly
effective treatment for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Safety and
effectiveness are well documented in clinical studies, all of which to date are
supportive of this therapy. There are no studies showing lack of
effectiveness. Strong evidence is presented to support the use of this safe, efficacious, and
inexpensive therapy before resorting to surgery and other risky, invasive
treatments.
This is an extensively revised and updated edition of is
regarded as the definitive textbook on this subject. Renowned chelation expert,
Elmer M. Cranton, M.D., presents a compendium of research by the world's leading experts in
chelation therapy. Many clinical trials are republished as chapters.
"This therapy has been proven effective over and over again in clinical
practice," says Dr. Cranton. "More than one million patients have received more
than twenty million infusions with great benefit and without serious adverse effects."
In his foreword, two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling states, "EDTA chelation
therapy makes good sense to me as a chemist and medical researcher. It has a
rational scientific basis, and the evidence for clinical benefit seems to be
quite strong."
Here in a single volume you will learn everything you need to know to
responsibly administer and advocate chelation therapy. You will find a coherent
scientific rationale, clinical trials, all of which demonstrate effectiveness, guidelines
for safety, detailed protocols for administration, laboratory testing, and techniques for pre and
post-treatment evaluation.
