McDonagh EW, Rudolph CJ, Cheraskin E. The clinical change in patients treated with EDTA chelation plus multivitamin/trace mineral supplementation. In: Cranton EM, ed. A Textbook on EDTA Chelation Therapy, Second Edition. Charlottesville, Virginia: Hampton Roads Publishing Company; 2001: (in press).

ABSTRACT: Statistically significant improvement of symptoms was measured in many different parts of the body following intravenous EDTA chelation therapy. Overall general health and enhanced well-being were measured using the Cornell Medical Index Health Questionnaire—administered before and after a approximately 26 EDTA infusions. Clinical symptoms were improved by an average of 20-per cent (a low of 13-percent improvement in the gastrointestinal system to a high of 31 percent improvement in the musculoskeletal system) following chelation therapy.

Study #2

Riordan HD, Cheraskin E, Dirks M, Tadayon F, Schultz M, Brizendine P. Clinical Improvements as judged by the Cornell Medical Index questionnaire in patients treated with EDTA chelation therapy. In: Cranton EM, ed. A Textbook on EDTA Chelation Therapy, Second Edition. Charlottesville, Virginia: Hampton Roads Publishing Company; 2001: (in press).

ABSTRACT: Twenty-eight patients were clinically evaluated by means of the Cornell Medical Index Health Questionnaire before and after both 10 and 20 infusions of intravenous EDTA chelation therapy. Improvement was recorded in all systems, with an average 23-percent overall reduction of symptoms affecting all parts of the body.
