Unfortunately Dr Ana Maria Mihalcea is praising EDTA. I think this is the same product that is used in beauty products, and I remember that it was marked thumbs-down (I avoid all letter words and unpronouncable ingredients)

Yes, Ana Maria Mihalcea creates Fear by fraudulently claiming Graphene Oxide and "self-assembling nanostructures" and then profits from intravenous EDTA jabbing.

The amount is so low in personal care products compared to what is used for treatment - EDTA is a common preservative in personal care products. I would be more concerned with petrochemicals, PFAS, formaldehyde, the hydroquinone products containing mercury, lead in lipstick, products containing added Vitamin A (retin type products), and anything that has the potential to contain mycotoxins such as rice. EWG isn't perfect, but it is still a good starting point for finding safe products.

I'll have a proper read today while at work but food for thought so thanks.

Although I am not a physician, I have learned a lot about strokes as I have handled many cases in practicing medical malpractice law and I have undergone EDTA chelation for metal toxicity. IMHO, it is the gold standard treatment for metal toxicity. It appears the study linking EDTA to stroke was pre-COVID. Based on what I know, if anything, EDTA could reduce the risk of stroke given the potential for cardiac benefits. However, like any medical procedure, chelation has its risks and should be performed by a competent provider and different people require different doses.

Also, imaging for stroke is nuanced. Often, by the time imaging reflects the person is undergoing a stroke, several hours have passed since the stroke began. That is why anyone who goes to the ER with stroke symptoms - provided the facility is acting within the standard of care - will hold the patient and run imaging twice to be on the safe side.

I am unsure of EDTA chelation reversing mRNA injections. However, I am curious what your opinion is on how metal toxicity should be treated - as well as mold - I am suffering from that also! I will say that while chelation brought my lead levels down, they are still high; however, I am taking a break now and focusing on lymphatic massage and binders. A negative about EDTA chelation is it takes good minerals out of the body as well so I needed a break from that.

One of my friends holds the world record for Lead levels in a survivor and there is a documentary covering his case. He reluctantly undertook chelation therapy having been warned that it could actually make things worse by remobilizing from bone and other organs. I will see if I can find out what was used, but fairly sure it was not EDTA.

Ah probably DMPS, which has more risks than EDTA...I am surprised because based on all the extensive research I did, EDTA was the choice chelator for lead.

Yes, one side effect is the chelation can mobilize the toxins and make things worse. That's why binders are important and I am taking a break and focusing on other detox methods now. I hope your friend got a good med mal lawyer! Lead is so difficult to remove and it goes into the bones...I am already at risk for osteoporosis despite being 40 because of past steroid use and I'm only 40 and have to get a bone scan!

I would also be concerned if any doctor doing the chelation is not testing before using the chelation to supposedly remove the mRNA and checking other biomarkers to make sure the patient's body can handle it - it is definitely not for everyone and the provider has to be competent.
