Elmer M. Cranton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2001

EDTA chelation therapy removes from the human body, with relative safety and without surgery, metallic ions that play an important role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Dr. Elmer Cranton's compilation of the most current and pertinent information on EDTA chelation therapy is now back in print, with even more information about chelation's effects, protocols, and status based on the latest research. Find out why more than a thousand physicians in the United States already offer EDTA chelation therapy as a safer and far less expensive alternative to surgical treatments for atherosclerosis.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Chelation therapy, based on the intravenous infusion of EDTA, is a highly effective treatment for atherosclerotic cardiovasular disease. Saftey and effectivenss are well documented in clinical studies, all of which to date are supportive of this therapy, and there are no studies showing lack of effectiveness. A strong case is made for the use of this safe, efficacious, and inexpensive therapy before resorting to surgery and other risky and invasive treatments.

In this newly revised and extensively updated edition of what has come to be regarded as the definitive textbook on the subject, renowned chelation expert Elmer M. Cranton, M.D., presents the work of the world's leading experts in chelation therapy.

"This therapy has been proven effective over and over again in clinical practice," says Dr. Cranton. "More than one million patients have recieved more than twenty million infusions with no serious or lasting adverse effects."

In his foreword, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling states, "EDTA chelation therapy makes good sense to me as a chemist and medical researcher. It has a rational scientific basis, and the evidence for clinical benefit seems to be quite strong."

Here in a single volume you will learn everything you need to know to responsibly administer and advocate chelation therapy. You will find a coherent scientific rationale, clinical trials demonstating effectiveness, guidelines for saftey, detailed protocols for administration, and techniques for pre- and post-treatment laboratory evalutaion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chelation Therapy--Everything you need to know., June 21, 2001

This review is from: A Textbook on EDTA Chelation Therapy: Second Edition (Hardcover)

Dr. Cranton is the leading expert in chelation therapy, and this book is clearly the most up-to-date review of how this therapy is done, the historical background, and the scientific data that show its value in the treatment of heart disease and other vascular disease.

If you want to know the details of this therapy, don't ask your doctor--this is the book to read. In spite of opposition to chelation therapy by the mainstream medical community, this textbook tells the real truth about it. It is hard to find valid, scientifically backed information about chelation, and if you ask your doctor, you will likely be led away from this valuable therapy that is better documented than bypass surgery and angioplasty.

While you may need some scientific background to understand all of the material, most readers will be able to understand enough to get a clear picture.

The book is well organized. For doctors interested in more information about chelation, this is a great place to start. With the protocol for treatment, you will have a good guide to this therapy.

Other books strictly for the layperson do not go into such detail and show you how the treatment is done, although they may be less technical for the less serious reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chelaton Reading Resource of the Best, March 15, 2006

This review is from: A Textbook on EDTA Chelation Therapy: Second Edition (Hardcover)

Of the several books and articles I have read about chelation therapy, this one is the best. It is perhaps not for the 101 lesson, as it is a bit more technical, so much so that medical doctors can read it with interest. It has many references to studies and background facts. Its a Bible on Chelation.
I have personally known Dr.Evers who is mentioned quite often in the book. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us.

This is the ACAM textbook for EDTA Chelation Therapy. I am currently undergoing chelation therapy 4 times a week for detox purposes. I am feeling better even after just 3 weeks...and I've been sick for the past 3 years. Make your own judgement as to whether chelation is for real...just realize that the establishment-owned drug companies would be making far fewer dollars if more people knew about this...
