What is Oral Chelation and how can it help prevent heart disease
2005 Mike Spencer
Oral Chelation
Oral chelation is the solubilization of a metal salt by
forming a chemical complex or sequestering. One way of
doing this is with ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA)
salts, which have a multidentate spiral ligand form that
can surround metallic and other ions.
The term "oral" simply refers to "mouth." When you take
something "orally," you take it into the mouth. Hence, the
word oral chelation. This word can be contrasted with
"intravenous" which is a word that means that something
enters your body through a vein rather than through your
mouth.
"Intravenous" actions (including IV Chelation) are
generally done by a doctor or a nurse who sticks a needle
in a vein, often in your wrist.
The word "chelation" starts with the Greek Root of this
word - chele. Chele, in Greek, means the claw part of a
crab or lobster. So, "chele" refers to a grabbing action.
When combined, getting "chelation" you simply have a word
that means the "grabbing action" of some substance. Oral
chelation is dispelling substances by taking the
preparation orally.
The ingredients which make oral chelation "work" are
Cysteine, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and EDTA.
EDTA is an important ingredient in oral chelation. It has a
chemical and physical characteristic that it is attracted
to heavy particles. It is not quite like a magnetic
attraction, but in any event when there is EDTA in your
blood stream, and some heavy particle (such as a particle
of lead, mercury, iron, etc.), the EDTA and the heavy
particle come together such that the heavy particle is
coated with the EDTA, and passed out by your system
EDTA is an artificial amino acid, and since the body
regards it as a foreign substance, the body eliminates the
entire particle - the heavy particle coated with EDTA.
The body can't tell that underneath the coating is some
material (iron mixed with carbon, perhaps) which the body
might be willing to keep even though it is harmful to the
body. So, this coated EDTA particle gets sent to the kidney
and you urinate it out into the toilet. You just got rid of
some heavy particles.
EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a common
sequestrant and antioxidant which is a part of oral
chelation. This oral chelation is added to foods, body
care, and household products.
The oral chelation also occurs as disodium calcium EDTA,
tetrasodium EDTA, and disodium dihydrogen EDTA. As a
sequestrant, this oral chelation binds trace minerals such
as copper, iron and nickel that may be in the product. If
not inactivated, these minerals will lead to discoloration,
rancidity and textural breakdown. When added as an
antioxidant, EDTA prevents oxygen from causing color
changes and rancidity.
