DOUBLE BLIND STUDY PROVES
EDTA CHELATION THERAPY EFFECTIVE

A Pilot Double Blind Study of Sodium-Magnesium EDTA
in Peripheral Vascular Disease

by Efrain Olzewer, Fuad Calil Sabbage,
and James P. Carter, M.D.

Dr. Carter is Professor and Head of the Nutrition Department, Tulane Medical Center, New Orleans, Louisiana. Drs Olzewer and Sabbage practice in Sau Paulo, Brazil, where this study was conducted.

In this small, pilot, double-blind, placebo controlled study, 20 infusions of EDTA increased walking distance in patients with claudication by 376%. Speed of both walking and performance on a bicycle exerciser were improved significantly. The improvement in chelation patients, compared with placebo, proved highly significant on statistical analysis.

P=0.0003 walking

p=0.00001 bicycle.
