Hi,
I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me whether or not you need a prescription to obtain EDTA. I have found this product:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chelation-C...1_1?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1402081844&sr=1-1
which is described as:
Composition of HM-Chelat in 100ml distilled water)- Citric Acid - 3 mg , Sodium bicarbonate - 3 mg, Sodiumedetate - 2 mg, Sodium in Sodium Chloride - 0.5 mg, Calcium in Calcium Chloride - 0.5 mg, Stabilized Oxygen Electrolytes, Distilled Water. Contains a complex forming agent (DicalciumEDTA) and stabilized oxygen electrolytes.
But I am unsure if it's "the real deal"...
Thanks.

Be Interested how you get on if you do decide to get it. Have you got any amalgam fillings in?

It's real edta started in pill form. Imo the doses aren't high enough in these oral products though. I m pretty sure when edta started in pill form and worked they used higher doses.
