Alals, this procedure works for some patients; not all. Optimal IV infusion method, in my view, should run an IV drip of 3 hours (Not a short 90 minutes). Minimum of 30 treatments at a cost that can run $90 - $125.00 each). There is a Chelation Medical Society in business for over 30 + years. AMA approaved for toxic metal loads and especially Pb removal! It is used in many others ways (preservative); but, the chelation of old arteries is what interests me and I've followed this practice in preventive, alternative, complementary etc. medicine now for over 30 years. Strange I should be encountering EDTA on the LUG!

President of the Hartman Institute devoted to the Scientific Study of Values, VValuation and Morals and involved with Values & Morals Research around the world. I now subscribe to Leica Digest only... having too little time to follow the LUG on a daily basis. I make good use of my SL2, R5, M5 with 80mm F1.4; 60mm Macro F2.8; 50mm F1.2; and 35mm F2.8 lenses. Just returned from Bali, Singapore, Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Warsaw, Krakow etc. shooting mainly Kodachrome 64 and 200. I regularly attend the Leica Seminar at Cape Cod or Kennebunkport nd greatly enjoy the antics and wisdom of Ted Grant-our current Leicameister at these gatherings- and learned much from the incomprable Walter Heun over fifteen years.
