What Does Chelation Therapy Treat?
Chelation Therapy Includes a Healthy Diet
Carlos P. Lamar, M.D., of Florida, pioneered chelation therapy since 1960 and developed the basic procedures which have been so successful to date. These include the proper dosage of Endrate (ETDA) – delivered slowly intravenously, lasting from 3 to 4 hours per treatment.
As an essential part of chelation treatment, Dr Lamar and his colleagues prescribe an anti-atherogenic diet that naturally chelates. Patients eat more frequent, lighter meals (with more tropical fruits; bananas, kiwis, mangos, papayas and pineapples, rich in the enzyme bromelain that acts like cardiovascular pipe cleaners) and eliminate dairy foods and saturated fats. Emphasis is placed on fresh, organic fruits and vegetables and natural foods.
Also, 50 to 100 mg supplement of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is mandatory (controls sodium/potassium blood levels, helps produce red blood cells and haemoglobin and protects against infection), plus additional vitamin and mineral supplements for each patient when needed.
Safe Diagnosis with Non-Invasive Tests
All patients are given thorough physicals and tests before the start of chelation therapy and are carefully monitored during the chelation treatments, and given complete instruction for follow-up procedures. We were impressed with the infrared thermographic scan, which is diagnostic equipment that provides a safe, accurate method of locating and determining the degree of arterial blockage. Formerly this was done only by the dangerous angiogram test. This scan is a heat-sensitive instrument which records body temperature with direct correlation to blood circulation. This thermogram reveals the location and degree of blockage by a light spectrum with a 10-colour range. We don’t recommend taking the risk of an angiogram.

Chelation Therapy Promotes Natural Healing
Because it attacks the basic cardiovascular problem of degeneration, chelation therapy helps regenerate the body’s natural self-healing and repairing powers. Natural blood circulation restores normal metabolism and biochemical functions. The whole body comes alive. This is why chelation therapy, from the very beginning, has exceeded the wildest expectations of medical science.
When the first cases were reported in 1964 by Dr Lamar in the national medical publication Angiology (Vol. 15, No. 9, September 1964), the most surprising result was the significant decrease in the insulin requirement of diabetics in response to chelation therapy. Two of the early cases were hopeless elderly diabetics with extreme mental deterioration and severe cardiovascular complications. After treatment, there was a complete remission of symptoms, both physical and mental – plus a marked decrease in their insulin requirement. This bonus was attributed to the increased circulation in the pancreas, which promoted insulin production.
Since then, chelation therapy has been found to achieve such bonus benefits as regeneration and rehardening of bones weakened by osteoporosis, restoration of mobility to frozen osteoarthritic joints, relief from hypothyroidism, reversal of prostatic calcinosis, recovery of normal functions of the kidney, other glands and organs and improvement in deteriorated retinas. There was an improvement in all pathological conditions resulting from impaired circulation!
Chelation (EDTA) treatment has proven to be effective in treating heart disease. It also has achieved a marked improvement in patients suffering from 2 of the most baffling central nervous system diseases – multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Perhaps the most spectacular results of chelation therapy are evidenced by the restored mental acuity in advanced senility cases.
In a landmark study, Dr Carlos Lamar stated in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society (Vol. XIV, No. 3, 1966), “The physical rehabilitation and enjoyment of living experienced by these patients would be impossible to match through any other available therapeutic procedure.”
A Universal Need for Chelation Therapy
As early as 1968, Dr. Lamar predicted, “I have little doubt that eventually new ligands (chelating agents) will be created that will be effective by the oral (natural supplements) route. That will be the big step that will bring chelation therapy to the reach of any patient suffering from any form of calcific disease, plaque and cholesterol build-up.”
“The great advance in preventive medicine lies in clearing the arteries of deposits which close them BEFORE the symptoms or attack which make the disorder obvious to everybody,” Dr Evers declared. “This is where chelation therapy has its greatest future.”
There are hundreds of chelation clinics in America and around the world.

In Europe, world famous Dr Claus Martin has the vision, wisdom and education to direct his In Four Seasons Clinic in the Bavarian Alps where he provides chelation, oxygen and live cell therapy. These are remarkable life-prolonging treatments that help reverse age-related and degenerative cardiovascular diseases. Hollywood Stars, Famous Statesmen and other noteworthy people have and are reaping the benefits of his treatments. He is a long time highly respected member of ACAM. There are over 200 chelation clinics throughout Europe. Check out the ACAM website or if in Europe write or call:

Harvard cardiologist Herbert Benson conducted experiments with thirty hypertensive people who knew nothing about meditating. After he taught them how he discovered that their blood pressure did indeed go down. The blood pressure of those people who continued daily meditating and praying went down to normal. If they stopped the practice, it began to rise again.
