Hello and welcome back to The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!

In today’s episode, Jimmy speaks with health writer David Jay Brown, co-author of Detox with Oral Chelation: Protecting Yourself from Lead, Mercury, & Other Environmental Toxins, as well as several other books where he has interviewed people of influence in the world of health.

As Jimmy and his wife Christine can personally attest, chelation therapy works for removing heavy metal toxins from the body. Among those who have studied it, including the late great Dr. Robert C. Atkins, this is not even a matter of contention as it is a standard medical practice. What is not as well known is that while the procedure is INCREDIBLY expensive when administered intravenously, it can be treated at home with the common, inexpensive over-the-counter supplement EDTA. Listen in for more info, including Dr. Atkin’s own take on the benefits of chelation therapy!

I am going to respectfully disagree here. I worked in a chelation clinic for many years and oral chelation can be helpful, but cannot come close to the effects of IV chelation. Oral is about 10% as effective at most.

I hear ya, David. And David Jay Brown acknowledges the IV works faster than oral, but from a cost perspective the difference is immeasurable.

Count me as a skeptic. Chelation sounds very unnatural and possibly very dangerous.

No more “dangerous” than taking vitamins.

I believe EDTA doesn’t chelate mercury very well and you can use iodine instead. Particularly, if you are iodine deficient.

“Limitations with the traditional allopathic chelation therapies include the fact that the agents used, while sometimes too specific to the metal targeted for removal, are also not protective enough when it comes to minerals that should be spared. Consequently essential trace minerals are likely to be depleted, making trace mineral replacement therapy absolutely essential. For example, EDTA is not effective for mercury, the number one toxic threat in most people. And DMPS and DMSA are dangerous to use because of their toxicity. Only highly trained physicians can safely administer them and even then we have problems like we do with all allopathic treatments. ”
