Does anyone have any thoughts about chelation therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My Thoughts Below: There are two drugs approved by the fda that have similar names are easily confused. To add to the confusion, both drugs are commonly referred to only as the abbreviation, "edta." edetate calcium disodium is fda approved to lower blood lead levels among patients with lead poisoning. Edetate disodium is fda approved to medically lower calcium levels and to treat digitalis toxicity.
