Dr. Weeks’ Comment: EDTA chelation, the standard of care for lead toxicity has been offered off-label by chelating doctors for over 60 years to benefit patients suffering from heart disease and cerebral or peripheral vascular disease. Being a safe and effective and inexpensive (i.e. “centsible”) treatment alternative to expensive and dangerous and invasive by-pass surgery, it has been vilified and dismissed by cardiologists whose treatments would become unnecessary if EDTA chelation were widely accepted. Enter the TACT study, a million dollar multi-year study which astonished and angered cardiologists when it proved that EDTA chelation therapy was indeed beneficial in all measured parameters:
-
Overall improvement in heart health 18%
-
Death reduced 7%
-
Heart Attacks reduced 23%
-
Hospitalizations reduced 28%
-
Diabetic heart complications reduced 39%
-
Heart Surgeries reduced 19%
-
Strokes reduced 23%
Impressed? Surprised that your doctor and cardiologist never told you to consider chelation?
