IV EDTA Chelation
 
IV EDTA Chelation: Used for the treatment of heavy metal toxicity, cardiovascular disease, and hypercalcification. This is the classic and standard form of chelation therapy that has been used to treat heavy metal toxicity since the 1930’s and cardiovascular disease since the 1950’s. The following protocol used for chelation is one that has been developed by the American College for Advancement of Medicine. In addition, the American Board of Chelation Therapy oversees the certification process and has given full certification to Dr. Pittman to perform chelation therapy. The components of the protocol include: EDTA, magnesium sulfate, sodium bicarbonate, lidocaine, heparin, vitamin C, B-complex, B-6, B-12, and potassium chloride. These components are combined in 500cc sterile water and infused over 3-4 hours. Patients undergoing EDTA chelation will be given a Mega Mineral infusion after every fifth chelation to ensure replacement of beneficial minerals that could have been removed from the chelating process.
