How to Take Oral EDTA

Oral EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) was introduced by the Germans in 1931 as a therapy for cardiovascular disease. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid said to reverse heavy-metal poisoning from ingestion. Some of the benefits of EDTA include removing the effects of a cardiac arrest, reducing chest pains and shortness of breath, reducing blood pressure, reducing the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and eliminating poor circulation, among other benefits. Knowing how to correctly take oral EDTA is key to its success. Although oral EDTA is available by prescription, you can purchase it over the counter.
