The following is a textbook case from the early days of chelation, regarding a patient who at the age of 79 showed some typical symptoms of senile arteriosclerosis such us infantile withdrawal, disorientation and extreme inability to cope. The symptoms were so advanced that the patient was no longer aware where she was, or who she was. With her memory of the past she had also lost all interest in any present day outside events. She basically stayed in bed or in her room all day oblivious to the world. Upon the insistence of a relative who had researched treatment alternatives to the then usual letting her vegetate until dead, the patient underwent a series of 30 EDTA chelation injection treatments plus additional oral chelators – with astonishing results. To quote from the book The Chelation Way describing the case: “The old woman again recognized loved ones and friends. She became aware of her surroundings. Immediately… became continent during the day and also stopped voiding in bed, since at night she was able from her bedroom to the bathroom. Instead of lingering in night clothes, she rose in the morning and got dressed for the day…”
Then something even more remarkable happened when her stepson by a previous marriage died in an automobile accident, which was that: “…she did fly across the country – alone! She also returned home without mishap, something quite remarkable for a person who just ten weeks before had almost been given up as the hopeless victim of senile dementia resulting from hardening of the arteries in the brain.”
After the treatment series in 1974 (when she had been 79 years old) she was able to live a productive, enjoyable life for more than another ten years and finally died when in her nineties.
After 1974 she was treated with occasional intravenous drips and took daily doses of oral chelating agents, with minimal additional medication. Her mind was clear enough to understand the dosage and ingredients in each pill and the purpose for which she took them. She exercised moderately, took long walks and changed her diet from “meat and potato” to mostly vegetables, fruits and whole grains, with a few animal proteins thrown in occasionally.
In her and in many other cases chelation evidently reversed most signs of senile arteriosclerosis. And together with a change in lifestyle this reversal was made to last.
This is no accident as the active ingredients in intravenous and oral chelators counteract the neuropathology that evidently contributes to Alzheimer’s and other forms of senile dementia, namely plaque formation, amyloid deposition, granulovascular degeneration, as well as reducing the influence of environmental factors such as chronic exposure to aluminum (as well as other heavy metals) and/or silicon, neurotoxins and free radical damage.
