Hello rights-ga,
I have divided your question about Oral & EDTA Chelation into
following heads. I hope you find the information useful..
*** Chemical Composition
A crystalline acid, C10H16N2O8, that acts as a strong chelating agent.
The sodium salt of EDTA is used as an antidote for metal poisoning, an
anticoagulant, and an ingredient in a variety of industrial reagents.
*** Information.
1. How Does Chelation Work?
Chelation comes from the Greek word "claw," meaning "to grab," and
that's exactly what chelating agents do. Chelating agents like EDTA
travel through the bloodstream "grabbing" on to minerals and metals,
such as calcium, lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, aluminum and iron,
binding them, removing them from the bloodstream, and delivering them
to the kidneys, which excrete them in the urine. Once bound by a
chelating agent, the minerals are unable to react in undesirable ways.
The primary use of chelation therapy today is in the prevention and
treatment of occlusive vascular disease, including atherosclerosis,
coronary heart disease, and
stroke…..[http://www.life-enhancement.com/article_template.asp?CustomerID=167411&ACBSessionID=45ebZ99Lru8ldfo8fQGw&SID=1&ID=218]

extensive research EDTA, titled “Oral Chelation - Hoax or Heart
Protector?” answers many questions about the usage of Chelation.

4. WORD OF CAUTION: According to some doctors prolonged usage of Oral
Chamelion can cause some complications. Dr. Elmer M. Cranton, M.D.
says in his article. Says Dr. Elmer”… Intravenous EDTA chelation
therapy has been proven safe, effective and inexpensive as a treatment
for coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis and other age-related
diseases. Dozens of scientific studies spanning 50 years prove that
intravenous EDTA safely increases blood flow and alleviates symptoms
of cardiovascular disease. There are no scientific studies of any kind
showing similar benefit using EDTA by mouth. And there’s good reason
to believe that prolonged use of high-dose oral EDTA is harmful….”

the Chelation therapy.
“There are some CERTIFICATION OF ACAM PHYSICIANS ADMINISTERING EDTA
CHELATION THERAPY Most ACAM physicians administer EDTA chelation
therapy, a medical procedure involving intravenous infusion of a
man-made amino acid (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), to treat
atherosclerosis and other chronic degenerative diseases. The American
Board of Chelation Therapy in Chicago, Illinois provides two levels of
certification for physicians who have met the criteria listed below:
DIPLOMATE (DIPL) a. is a graduate of an approved school of medicine
(D.O. or M.D., or foreign equivalent);
b. is currently licensed to practice in the state or territory where
he/she conducts practice;
c. has been recommended (by letter) by two Diplomates in Chelation
Therapy;
d. has successfully completed the written examination of the American
Board of Chelation Therapy;
e. shows evidence of being responsible for the administration of 1000
chelation treatments;
f. has satisfied the requirements for preceptor training as outlined
in the protocol of preceptorship;
g. has successfully completed the oral examination of the American
Board of Chelation Therapy;
h. submits 10 acceptable questions and answers with references for use
in future written exams.
DIPLOMATE CANDIDATE (D/C) a. is a graduate of an approved school of
medicine (D.O. or M.D. or foreign equivalent);
b. is currently licensed to practice in the state or territory where
he/she conducts practice;
c. has been recommended (by letter) by two Diplomates in Chelation
Therapy;
d. has successfully completed the written examination of the American
Board of Chelation Therapy;
and is in the process of completing the remaining requirements for
ABCT Diplomate status.
ACAM FELLOW (FACAM) The designation of FACAM after the physician's
name indicates that he is a Fellow of the American College for
Advancement in Medicine and signifies special contributions both to
preventive medicine and to ACAM. Fellows must have attended ACAM's
chelation therapy workshop and passed the ABCT written exam, met
specified medical/scientific writing requirements, provided service to
ACAM, attended at least four ACAM conference programs, and been an
ACAM member in good standing for a minimum of two years….”
