It is known as a 'chelator' because it binds metals to a protein carrier so they can be excreted. The heavier the metal, the more attracted EDTA is to it... so when you introduce EDTA into the body, it will bind to the first metal ion it comes into contact with (usually calcium). If that bound EDTA is not excreted before coming across a heavier metal, it will exchange the lighter for a heavier (i.e.- magnesium for calcium, calcium for zinc, zinc for cadmium, cadmium for lead). This is how chelation therapy works to reduce the burden of toxic heavy metals on the body. It is quite effective, especially when administered through IV, but oral administration works well too...it just takes longer. As you might suspect, chelation has a drawback if not handled appropriately; it can deplete the body of critically needed minerals like copper,zinc and selenium when EDTA molecules get bound to the lighter minerals and then excreted before encountering a heavy metal. Therefore, advanced practitioners who perform chelation therapy often give supplemental minerals to offset or prevent that problem... especially with extended therapy. In this case, the EDTA being used in the anti-biofilm protocol you mentioned is targeting not heavy metals, but calcium... or at least it should be. Calcium is very likely the principal culprit in the formation of biofilms as far as minerals are concerned. It is by far the most available mineral in the tissues of unhealthy people. Keep in mind that 98% of the body's calcium is supposed to be in the teeth and bones, but such is not the case with Americans... with our stress filled lifestyles and acidifying diet. Indeed, calcification in general is one of the underlying issues that accelerates aging and many of our degenerate disease processes... from heart disease to osteoporosis to hormonal dysfunction. Now you get your question answered... "Why is he telling us all of this?" Because I believe that we are witnessing a major breakthrough when it comes to dealing with highly resistant infection secondary to biofilm production! To target biofilms, you need a way to target and remove calcium accumulations in the soft tissues and deliver highly specific enzymes that work synergistically to break down the biofilm structural components. Antimicrobials and probiotics can then be used if necessary to assist the body's natural defenses in dealing with the newly exposed pathogens. Magnesium EDTA does readily target and bind calcium, but its built in affinity for heavier metals makes it a somewhat inefficient vehicle, with the added drawback of depleting other essential minerals. So what if we had a product that is designed to target calcium in the soft tissues and not excrete it, but put it back into the bone where it belongs? What if this product didn't deplete anything, but rather it contained all of the other essential bone assimilation minerals and nutrients? What if this product was designed to correct the most common fundamental mineral imbalance (which by the way is likely one of the greatest contributors to biofilms) in most of us (cal/mag) while reducing inflammation and fueling energy production in every cell of the body? I am incredibly humbled, but also very excited to inform you that most of you are already taking it! It is called MagnifiCal. Once again, I give thanks to God for the revelations involved with the birthing of MagnifiCal, and may all whose lives are transformed by it bring honor and glory to Him. |
