Re: Yet in this article, cal EDTA removed calcium deposits

When out to chelate arteriosclerosis deposits, inevitably, ones body contains some mercury. Pendergrass et al (Univ. of Ky) showed in 1993 that the mercury-EDTA complex inhibits beta tubulin in the brain to prevent GTP from binding and to displace GTP that is bound, leading to structures similar to what are observed in Alzheimers - in other words, mercury-EDTA may be worse than mercury alone, and by adding EDTA to the body, mercury present that becomes complexed may end up in the brain, causing more harm than prior to the EDTA introduction. By eating EDTA, either free, Na salt, Mg or other complexes, some Hg-EDTA complex will form, unelss one is 100% mercury-free. This is one reason why EDTA is not a material of choice for mercury removal.

If asked, I would advise against the use of EDTA in the body, period. The suppositories are probably worthless medically. Consider that oral EDTA is known to be abosrbed only to the extent of about 5%. This means the rest of it ends up in the colon eventually. If it were absorbed by the colon, then the total absorbtion by the oral route would be greater than 5%, overall, since absorbtion by the oral route necessarily includes the amounts absorbed in the digestive tract. For this reason, no drug is known to be better absorbed rectally than by mouth. Suppositories are for people who othewise regurgitate the medicament, and unmanageable children-patients.

Unfortunately, EDTA is a common food additive. Given the increasing ubiquity of mercury in the environment, Pendergrass' work may have increasing relevance.

Arterial plaque is best removed by alteration of the blood's zeta potential, using natural materials. The cause of these deposits is in nearly all cases due to low blood zeta potential over years to begin with. Raise it, and the deposits will go away naturally. Far too many "experts" overlook the simple fact that blood is a colloid, and are therefore ignorant of its behaviour from a physical chemistry standpoint. It must be considered as such when working on it. Dr. T. C. McDaniel in Cincinnati is expert on this topic, although 86 years old0, he is still practicing robustly. You may find consulting with him worthwhile.
