The use of chelation therapy first began during World War I in the treatment of poison gas victims. The most popular, Dimercaprol, was also known as the "British Anti-Lewisite" because of its effectiveness in binding â€Lewisite,†the arsenic-laced poison gas so the kidneys could safely flush the poison from the body through the urine. Following World War II several Navy personnel contracted lead poisoning from the paint used in the finishing of Navy ship hulls. This was the first use of the â€EDTA†(EthyleneDiamine Tetra-acetic Acid) chelating agent to remove the toxic heavy metals from their bloodstream. This synthetic amino acid was preferred over Dimercaprol because it did not produce the same serious side effects. To eliminate lead, mercury and iron from the body, chelation therapy acts as a detoxification agent. It attracts these heavy metals, inhibits their properties and make it possible for the body to eliminate them as a waste product. Chelation therapy in the 1960’s rapidly became the US standard method of treatment for heavy metals in the blood from exposure to lead, arsenic and mercury because it enabled the body to eliminate these toxins. Administered intravenously by a physician or taken in an oral formula, both provide detoxification to the body. However oral chelation formulas such as OC-Max produced by the Goldshield Elite Company deliver these elements in a convenient form that can be assimilated easily. Many alternative medicine health practitioners believe that oral chelation therapy presents the most effective way to prevent and treat heart disease. The safety of oral chelation therapy in the treatment of hardening of the arteries was the subject of a five-year research study performed in 2002. During this study, it was found that cholesterol levels in the body could be reduced through the use of the oral chelation agent EDTA, vitamin B12, royal jelly, vitamin C and several other nutrients. Taken in liquid or soft-gel capsule form, it provides the circulatory system with the additional support of chelating agents. It is because oral chelation is convenient, inexpensive and easy to self-administer without visiting a doctor's office or the use of needles that has made it the preferred method of this therapy. The OC-Max formula which combines Serrazymes, Sodium HexaMetaPhosphate ("SHMP") and EDTA, has been used successfully to eliminate mercury and iron from the bloodstream as well as in the reduction of calcified plaque from the arteries. Using the oral chelation method of chelation therapy assists the body to eliminate dangerous plaque which can lead to heart disease, making it one of the most effective methods of natural detoxification available.
