The primary function of EDTA is to remove unwanted metals (in particular Calcium, Mercury, Lead, Cadmium & Arsenic) from the body’s organs and cardiovascular system. EDTA infusion, which has the ability to remove metal ions, stops or slows metals that are significant causes of free radical production. In removing metals, local toxicity is reduced and enzyme production and function improves. We should not underestimate the role of toxic metal ions in the body, whether these are of lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, iron or aluminum. Once these have been chelated by EDTA and removed from their deposition sites, free radical activity and consequent disruption of metabolic function is largely prevented. Once this has happened normal enzyme function resumes.
