Since EDTA is used to remove heavy metals in the body, it removes calcium from the plaque in the arteries, aiding in the reversal of the effects of blockage. Many of the forms of EDTA can be prohibitively expensive or take a long time to become effective. IV drip EDTA requires that patients attend 30 to 50 sessions over six months. Each of these sessions is at least three hours long and quite expensive. EDTA in suppository form is only available through a doctor’s office and is administered only once a day. The suppository therapy takes four to six months to complete. Quick and Inexpensive EDTA Liquid EDTA, though, is taken orally and costs a fraction of other treatments. The liquid is mixed with the patient’s drinking water and can be taken several times a day.

Treatment With Chelators

EDTA, or ethylene diamine tetra-acetate acid, is the chelator that is used to help heart patients. EDTA comes in many forms such as suppository, pill or IV drip. Chelation therapy involves repeated treatments of EDTA to patients who have heart disease. Over a period of time, the therapy will aid in the reversal of plaque problems.

Liquid EDTA, though is the most inexpensive and effective form of EDTA available. It is taken orally and can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription. The liquid is mixed in with the patient’s drinking water and is easily absorbed by the patient’s body. Unlike EDTA therapies involving IV drip or suppository, which can last around six months, liquid EDTA therapy takes only six weeks to take effect.

Oral Treatments

Luckily, EDTA is now available in easy to use oral form. EDTA can come in pill or liquid form and these forms are considerably cheaper than the aforementioned options. EDTA pills do have a drawback though, as the body will most likely pass some of the pills completely through its system without absorbing the EDTA. Only five percent of these pills are absorbed by the body, which can result in ineffective treatment and further expense on more pills.

With liquid oral chelation, though, the EDTA solution is mixed into the patient’s drinking water and can be taken several times a day. Liquid EDTA is much less expensive than suppository or IV treatments and is absorbed easier than EDTA in pill form.
