Chelation therapy is a means of
getting dangerous toxic metals out of the body. It has been found
to have surprising and far-reaching benefits in cases of
cardiovascular disease. Recoveries are often dramatic and signal a
real reversal in age damage to the tissues. Controversy rages
because nobody knows exactly how it works, except that it quenches
destructive free-radicals. Available mainly as intravenous EDTA
therapy, a number of chelation doctors, led by Garry Gordon of
Tempe, Arizona, have now pioneered safe and effective oral
chelation. Dr Gordon’s outstanding product “Beyond Chelation™”
is so good that, to date, there have been no reports of anyone
dying or having a stroke while taking it and heart attacks are
reduced to almost zero.
Warren Levin, MD, of New York City, once
administered chelation therapy to a psychoanalyst on the staff of
a major New York medical center. "He was in his fifties and looked
remarkably healthy, except that he was in a wheelchair. He had
awakened that morning to discover his lower leg was cold, numb,
mottled and blue, with two black-looking toes. He rushed to his
hospital and consulted the chief of vascular surgery, who
recommended an immediate amputation above the knee. He asked this
world-renowned surgeon about the possibility of using chelation in
this situation, and was told, ‘Don’t bother me with that voodoo.’
“The ailing psychoanalyst decided to get a
second opinion. This physician also urged him to have an immediate
amputation. When asked about chelation, therapy, the second
doctor’s response was, ‘You can try it if you want, but it’s a
waste of time.’
Through his own tenacity, the psychoanalyst
showed up in my office. We started emergency chelation and after
approximately nine treatments – one taken every other day – he was
pain free and picking up. After approximately seventeen chelation
treatments, he was walking on the leg again. He never had an
amputation, and he lived the rest of his life without any further
complications."
I myself had a special case in my Harley
Street (London) office. An actor in his sixties had a paralyzed
arm from a stroke of 30 years duration. Yet by his third
chelation, he was beginning to move the fingers of that hand and
made steady progress from there. This defies all medical science
(don’t tell the patient that!).
Of course anecdotes like these are frowned
upon in medical science. However it becomes hard to ignore the
implications of tens of thousands of anecdotal stories of
potentially imminent death, blindness, amputation, paralysis, and
other problems among people, who are now vibrant, productive,
youthful looking, vigorous, full of zest, and enthusiastically
endorse chelation therapy as the cause of their prolonged good
health. Morton Walker, DPM, a medical researcher took the trouble
to investigate hundreds of such recovery cases and reports: "I
have turned up not a single untruth."
Oral Chelation
There are a variety of substances that act as
oral chelating agents, according to Garry F. Gordon, MD. "Oral
chelation is a well-documented, firmly established medical
practice," he says. He points out that penicillamine, a drug used
to treat heavy metal poisoning, rheumatoid arthritis and Wilson’s
disease (a rare metabolic disorder resulting in an excess
accumulation of copper in the liver, red blood cells and the
brain), works in a fashion very similar to EDTA. "Some of the
benefits derived from penicillamine in the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis are undoubtedly related to the control and removal of
excess free radicals. And EDTA itself, when taken orally, provides
most of its chelating activities in the body even though only
about five percent of it is actually absorbed. The chelating
effects are less dramatic and slower than when received
intravenously, but the oral approach has several major advantages,
including convenience, potential long-term continuous health
maintenance and low cost."
Dr. Gordon also uses many nutritionally based
substances as oral chelators, such as garlic, Vitamin C,
carrageenan, zinc, and certain amino acids like cysteine and
methionine. "Cysteine, for instance, is very effective in the
treatment of nickel toxicity," he says, "and it seems to also
increase glutathione in the body, which in turn helps to control
free radicals."
In patients who use his oral Beyond
Chelation formula, Dr. Gordon has consistently observed a
reduction of serum cholesterol by an average of twenty percent or
more, which he feels significantly decreases the likelihood of
atherosclerosis. "The thousands of patients who visit my clinic
each year and follow our recommended oral chelation program have
all successfully avoided strokes, and heart attack rates were also
greatly diminished," he says. "We’ve never had more than two heart
attacks per year among all of our patients, even among those with
a history of severe heart disease. I firmly believe that an oral
chelation program can do more for your overall longevity than you
can do even with the most prudent lifestyle possible because of
the continuous nutritional protection chelation offers against a
stressful and polluted world."
Dr. Gordon does not recommend oral chelation
as a substitute for intravenous chelation therapy, however. "The
intravenous approach is clearly the proper choice for patients who
have only a few months to get well before facing surgery or
worse." But for patients whose conditions are not as drastic as
well as for those who want to optimally safeguard themselves
against free radicals and plaque buildup, Dr. Gordon views oral
chelation as an effective, noninvasive, inexpensive choice.
Each canister of
Beyond Chelation contains 30 packets of over 60 nutritive
supplements designed for continued long term physical, mental, and
cardiovascular support. Two packets per day is the suggested
dosage for preventive maintenance, and two packets daily supported
by extra Garlic Plus (3+ at noon) are recommended for therapeutic
usage. Individual packets contain 9 pills: 3 Beyond Longevity
multiple vitamin tablets, 3 Beyond Garlic capsules, 1 Phosphatidyl
Ginkgo Boost capsule, and 2 Primrose Gold/Omega-3 soft gels.
With this formula, all the major causes of
acute cardiovascular mortality are dealt with as effectively as
Dr. Gordon believes is possible today within a nutritionally based
program. NOTE: he points out that certain other nutrients are
clearly useful but due to expense cannot be included in a basic
program. Such nutrients would include, Co-enzyme Q, Carnitine, &
those producing the anti-inflammatory activity of the uniquely
formulated product Wobenzym
Safety and Side Effects
All of the ingredients within the Beyond
Chelation products can be safely and continuously consumed by
patients for 30, 40, or even 50 years, providing effective
life-long protection at the molecular level against virtually all
of the major recognized factors now believed to bring on
cardiovascular related deaths. Now, with a new updated formula,
Beyond Chelation Improved™ has more of the vital ingredients that
help fight cancer, heart disease, and aging. Beyond Chelation
Improved™ now has
Vitamin K-2, Resveratrol,
and the purest available Omega 3 oils,
EDTA, Tocotrienols and
more. No other oral chelation product has the combined detoxifying
and life extending power of Beyond Chelation Improved™!
The cost? An incredibly low $47.95 though

Listen to a tape
The tape that explains much of this is called
"Detoxification with new EDTA program. Steps to maximize your
health". This is a 1-hour interview that was seen on public access
TV in the Phoenix area by a chelation physician, Dr Bruce Shelton,
who interviewed Dr Garry Gordon. The videotape is available at
Longevity Plus (1-800-580-PLUS) for $10.00.
