The Scientific Basis for EDTA Chelation Therapy

In the 1980’s, chelation therapy demonstrated great success in treating chronic circulatory problems in several nations around the world. 30 years later, chelation therapy remains a controversial practice that is largely misunderstood in the mainstream population.

To help inform both the public and other physicians of the benefits of chelation therapy, Edward W. Macdonagh collected research articles containing several studies done globally on chelation. The research was collected and put into a book titled “The Scientific Basis of EDTA Chelation Therapy” which was published in 1981.

Below is the table of contents for the collection of articles by Edward W. Macdonagh and Charles Rudolph DO. Abstracts are available at http://www.mcdonaghmed.com/chelation-therapy/
