The effect of intravenous disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plus supportive multivitamin/trace mineral supplementation upon fasting serum calcium.

A literature search disclosed only very limited published material suggesting that EDTA therapy when given slowly does not seem to derange serum calcium metabolism. This report summarizes the observations of eighty private practice patients treated with EDTA and supportive multivitamin/trace mineral supplementation and its effects upon serum calcium. The evidence indicates that, in general, this form of chelation therapy does not alter serum calcium concentration. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, the evidence here suggests the so-called high normals declined slightly, the low normals rise slightly, and those in the intermediate range remain unchanged.

The influence of EDTA salts plus multivitamin-trace mineral therapy upon total serum cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

For a number of years, the principal attention was accorded total serum cholesterol as a possible predictor of cardiovascular pathosis. More recently, emphasis has been shifted to the high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Now consideration is turning to the ratio of total serum cholesterol to high-density lipoproteins. In fact, it is now stated that a ratio of 4.5 is the ideal combination in terms of cardiovascular health. This report adds credence to this "ideal" ratio for chronic degenerative disorders.

The relationship of subtle differences in fasting blood glucose with subtle differences in the electrocardiogram: a study of the PR interval.

There are now well-established relationships between the trinity of classical diabetes mellitus, defined cardiovascular syndromes, diverse overt electrocardiographic patterns. What has not been considered is the possible relationship of the subtle forms of prediabetes (meaning nonspecific patterns of carbohydrate metabolism) and subtle expressions of electrocardiographic aberration. The evidence presented herein suggests a real and significant parallelism between the PR interval and small differences in fasting blood glucose not previously reported. Additionally, the data suggest that while it may be normal (average) for the PR interval to increase with advancing age, it is not normal (physiologic) for the PR interval to enlarge in the autumnal years.

Serum cholesterol and the aging process.

With advancing age, the average serum cholesterol level rises. Thus, older persons generally have higher cholesterol scores than do younger individuals. Quite apart, it is a generally agreed fact that older persons die more readily than younger people. Finally, there is general agreement that older persons with higher cholesterol levels die more readily, though not necessarily of cardiovascular disease, than older people without hypercholesterolemia. It then follows that, all other factors being equal, lowering hypercholesterolemia is, in fact, an expression of "making people younger". Two hundred and twenty-one routine private practice patients were studied before and after approximately two months of routine therapy including EDTA treatment and general supportive care including multivitamin-trace mineral supplementation. The evidence indicates, within the limits of this kind of study conducted in a private practice environment, that favorable changes occurred in serum cholesterol levels suggesting a possible reversal of the aging process.
