 | | Stephen Barrett, M.D. Robert S. Baratz, M.D., D.D.S., Ph.D. Chelation therapy is a series of intravenous infusions containing EDTA and various other substances. |
 | | The protocol calls for intravenous infusion of 500 to 1,000 ml of a solution containing 50 mg of disodium EDTA per kilogram of body weight, plus heparin, magnesium chloride, a local anesthetic (to prevent pain at the infusion site), several B-vitamins, and 4 to 20 grams of vitamin C. |
 | | If it was cardiovascular and there is no reason to believe that the patient has lead poisoning, ask the state attorney general and the FBI to investigate. |
