  • Title: Chelation treatment of atherosclerosis.
    Author: Magee R.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1985 Apr 29; 142(9):514-5. PubMed ID: 3921813.
    Abstract:
    Edetate disodium (EDTA) is a chelating agent which has no place in the treatment of atherosclerosis and its complications. Also, its toxic effects can cause other problems which may lead to a fatal outcome. Proper investigation and treatment may sometimes be delayed by a patient's faith in such therapy. The dangers of chelation therapy, and the opinion of the Commonwealth Department of Health and other writers on this subject, are stated.
