Why can't chelation be taken by mouth, in pill form, instead of by IV infusion?

Chelation Clinic::::::::
Chelation therapy is gaining recognition so rapidly that there is growing interest in developing an oral chelator that will produce benefits similar to intravenous EDTA chelation therapy. Many nutritional substances administered by mouth are known to have chelating properties but none have the spectrum of activity of intravenous EDTA. Many nutrients such as vitamin C and the amino acids cysteine and aspartic acid have the ability to weakly chelate metals.

Can I take Angioprim (oral chelation) while I am doing my IV Chelation program?

What Is IV Chelation Like?

Dr. Whitaker Says Oral Chelation Is Worthless!
People often ask me for more information about intravenous chelation therapy. It's fascinating that my web sites get more visitors asking about IV chelation than, probably, any of the actual chelation doctors. And, when I visit the small number of their web sites, I don't find this simple information which many people want to know. Just enter in the city or zip code where you will be and you will find the names of all the doctors near there.

How does suppository chelation compare with IV chelation?

Issue 40 July/August 2001
IV chelation has one advantage and four disadvantages over suppository chelation. The advantage of IV chelation is that a larger amount of EDTA can be administered in a shorter amount of time. If a client is in a life threatening situation, this may be necessary. A higher amount of EDTA over a shorter period is more stressful on the kidneys, through which the heavy metals must pass. The ingredient used in IV chelation is Di-Sodium EDTA. This is a very caustic substance that burns tissue.

LE: So, with a given patient, when would you do IV chelation and when would you do oral chelation?

Oral Chelation Can Replace Use Of Coumadin
Dr. Gordon: Basically, my position is this: the oral is an insurance policy to guarantee that you stay alive long enough to take the IV when and if you choose to do so. I tell everybody that the IV produces a "youthifying" effect to deal with several basic aspects of aging, including the calcification of your blood vessels. The total oral formulation is the only way I know to keep people alive who don't want to die of a heart attack, stroke, cardiac spasm, arrhythmia, or blood clot.

Q | What makes Kelatox Chelation Suppositories better than IV chelation?

Detoxamin: Chelation Therapy
A | Kelatox chelation suppositories are taken at night, right before you retire for the evening. This allows less metabolic competition for the EDTA because the body is at rest while the EDTA is working. Kelatox introduces a lower singular dosage of EDTA, administered more frequently, to lessen the burden on the body and to provide better EDTA assimilation. Almost all the blood from the rectum makes its way to the superior hemorrhoidal veins, a tributary of the portal system.

How are water-soluble minerals better than pill or capsule form?

Liquid Minerals - FAQs
We believe the criteria for proper utilization and absorption of all minerals, vitamins and other nutrients is dependent on their size and absorbability, also called bioavailability. No matter what the body takes in, it has to "liquify" it in order to be able to use it. The challenge with most traditional pill and capsule supplements is that they usually have been processed with intense pressure, heat, paraffin coatings, and fillers.

For example, even if a student has a strong background in economics, he or she cannot waive the core MPA course in microeconomics (PAUS 8141).

Why not just take the bioactive component, such as isoflavones in a pill form?

SOY - soy protein
Clinical research has shown that bioactive components, such as isoflavones, do not work by themselves to reduce cholesterol. While it may be a lot easier to take a pill, studies have shown that you need the soy protein together with its bioactive components to get the cholesterol-lowering effect. Clinical research has conclusively demonstrated soy protein with naturally occurring isoflavones, such as some of The Solae Company's isolated soy proteins, is effective in lowering cholesterol.
