Aging & Chelation
The Silent Threat: Subclinical Toxic Metal ExposureFAQ
An Interview With The Inventor of Medicardium
Medicardium is the first OTC product that allows anyone to enjoy the benefits of chelation therapy in the privacy of their own home -- without the needles. EDTA chelation has been shown to decrease the risk of heart attack by 86% (1); the risk of dying by cancer 90% (2); and is well-known for its ability to remove toxic heavy metals in the body that correspond to accelerated aging.

he benefits of of intravenous EDTA chelation therapy have been well established. (Read Position Paper: American College for Advancement in Medicine). 
Even in the U.S., one of the most repressive nations in the world with respect to freedom of medical choice, the FDA has allowed EDTA chelation for the last 50 years - although its use has been restricted to the removal of toxic metals (i.e. lead, cadmium, uranium, etc.) Given the role of EDTA as a standard treatment for the removal of unwanted toxic metals from the body, any argument that "EDTA doesn't work" is reduced to hogwash.The expanded role of EDTA as a tool to remove arterial plaque, prevent bypass surgery, or perform functions that affect conventional medicine "in the breadbasket," is where controversy arises. (If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times on this site: if you want to know why something is or isn't approved by orthodoxy, just follow the money trail.)Our decision to carry Medicardium on this site and recommend it is based on our own experience and research:
- Problems with Oral Chelation. EDTA taken orally (oral chelation) can interfere with digestion, absorption, and metabolic function. The primary purpose of the small intestines is to aid the body in assimilating nutrients. To add a powerful mineral sequestering agent to foodstuffs is self-defeating. No wonder most users report it is largely ineffective. (Incidentally, food-grade EDTA is used as a preservative by food manufacturers to bind copper, iron and other ions so that foods take better longer. Food processors don't use near the level of EDTA that people in the supplement market do.)
- Time Commitment for Intravenous. Although there is no question that intravenous chelation really works, who has time to sit in a doctor's chair for 3 hours (the standard protocol for the "full bag," 3 gram dosage)? Now multiple this by the recommended 20 to 30 treatments and you're talking a major career change. This is onerous even for people who are retired, and considering the cost, what they need to do is add a complimentary sleeping bag and a Coleman stove --- since your doctor's office will be your new temporary residence.
- Accessibility. Only certain doctors in certain doctors perform intravenous chelation therapy. This makes accessibility a real issue. Some people have to travel considerable distances, and that's a hassle.
- Then There's the Needles & the Discomfort. It may seem a trivial personal preference, but some people don't enjoy getting stuck with a needle so many times, they look like a heroin addict. This author is here to tell you from personal experience that those of you who get the Vitamin C adjunct are in for a special treat. If there's a better way, why not take it?
- Ease of Use. Medicardium is easy to use and comes with easy to follow directions and warning (contraindications).
- Easier to Handle Dosage. A 3 hour chelation session supplies 3 grams (3,000 mg.) of EDTA; a 90 minute "short bag" session supplies 1.5 grams. Even on the short program, this author was so dizzy he had to be driven home. With Medicardium, each suppository is only 365 mg. of Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA, so it is not nearly as disruptive to the physiology. Tests conducted by the product's maker, showed a 92% absorption rate, and you can take the suppositories at your own pace. (It is recommended to take one every three days, or as recommended by your health care provider.)
