Chelation Therapy
Peter Wells Scott - PVNN
 In 1993, Harvard educated Dr. Elmer Cranton wrote a book called "Bypassing Bypass." In it he alluded to the fact that, at that time, heart bypass surgery was a radical operation that cost 350,000 Americans ten billion dollars every year. The numbers have exploded since that time.
 Chelation therapy may very well be an alternative to the bypass operation. The verb chelate comes from the Greek noun "Chele," which is the claw of a crab or lobster. Chelation is a natural process, the pincer-like binding of chelating substances to metallic elements.
 The removing of toxic metals such as copper and iron is accomplished by administering a synthetic amino acid, ethylene diamine tetra acetic, or EDTA, by the intravenous infusion, usually in the arm or hand, using a tiny 25 gauge needle. To those that have received the treatment, the results are just short of miraculous.
 Chelation therapy has been proven to increase blood flow throughout the body, to improve liver function, improve blood cholesterol ratios, lower blood fats, reduce blood pressure, reduce leg cramps, improve vision, reduce angina pains, reduce symptoms of senility, heal ulcers caused by poor circulation, relieve symptoms of arthritis, improve memory and reduce the incidence of cancer.
 The process first came to my attention while living in Ajijic, Jalisco. A friend of mine had been working in Alaska, mostly underground, and had a leg amputated. The doctor had recommended that the other leg receive like treatment. As an alternative, he embarked on a rigid Chelation regiment, 30 treatments at a time over a two year period.
 The leg was restored in color and use. The year was 1995. My own experience had included a bout with alcoholism, migraines, and eventual brain seizures. None of it is any fun. I embarked on a vigorous treatment of elation, which has continued to this day.
 I presently have the treatment on a bi-weekly basis through Dr. Gonzalez, who operates both out of his home and from a clinic on Berlin Street. He combines ETDA with DSMO and a mixture of vitamins and minerals. The cost is a fraction of the $3000 suggested in Dr. Cranton's book. Dr. Gonzalez can arrange a program in his home to fit the needs of folks coming in from out of town. For more information, give him a call at [322] 224-0541. |
