Foreword

Tammy Born Huizenga, D.O.

W hen Gary Greenberg interviewed me about chelation therapy for a Newsmax magazine article, I told him he should come to my clinic in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to experience an integrative approach to medicine, see what we do and speak to some of our patients. His deadline for the article was too tight for him to take a trip from his home in South Florida, but he mentioned that hed also been asked to write a book about chelation.

Maybe I can come up for that project, he said. Ill contact you after I sign the contract.

A few months later, contract presumably signed, he came to embed himself in the Born Clinic for a week, not only to see our facility and interview patients but also to experience chelation therapy himself. I invited him here because I am very proud of what we do in helping people achieve and maintain the best health possible. It is exciting to change lives for the better, and chelation is an integral part of that process for many of our patients.

Gary hung out here for a week, talking with patients and my staff. I believe the experience deepened his understanding of what chelation therapy can do for people and the type of care we offer to support our patients health and well-being.

When I was in medical school, I was assigned to follow Dr. Grant Born at his office. His family practice focused on integrative medicine because he, himself, had experienced a heart problem called cardiomyopathy. His condition propelled him to look into alternative therapies because there were no conventional options for him other than having a heart transplant. When he began to feel better due to nutrition and chelation therapies, he knew he had to offer these same opportunities for healing to his patients.

After I graduated medical school, I joined Grant at his practice, and we were married five months later. Sadly, he died in 1998 due to a heart arrhythmia. It was sixteen years after his first diagnosis, despite initially being given just two years to live. We had worked together for eleven of those years growing an integrative practice, and we had recently moved into a state-of-the-art 22,000-square-foot clinic in southeast Grand Rapids when he passed away.

Since then, Ive done my best to build upon what Grant started. He was always a proponent of chelation as a vital tool in helping people optimize their health. The key lies in its unique ability to reduce the load of toxic heavy metals that we all carry around in our bodies. In the modern industrialized world, its virtually impossible to avoid accumulating some level of heavy-metal contamination. The most common and destructive offenderslead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminumhave no biological role in the human body but can disrupt cellular function, eventually contributing to chronic ailments such as heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Theres no good reason to have these toxic substances in our bodies. Chelation therapy has been proven to be a safe and effective way to reduce levels of toxins and positively impact health.

Its important to note that chelation is not a magic bullet to cure all diseases, but rather an essential tool in helping the body function the way it was designed to function, which includes repairing and healing itself. At the Born Clinic, we offer a variety of therapies all working together to achieve that goal. We strive to identify and correct the root causes of problems rather than just treating symptoms with medications. We believe its also important to educate patients about the causes of their conditions. Treatments are individualized, and we guide patients throughout the process. While chelation is not a universal panacea, its hard to achieve better health with heavy metals lurking in tissues, continuously sabotaging various biological processes.

Those of us who use chelation for our patients (and ourselves) are confounded by the ongoing and often vehement resistance to the therapy by the conventional medical community. But I believe the tide is beginning to turn with compelling new research. My sincerest hopes are that this book will help to bring chelation out of the shadows and into the public consciousness. Our motto at the clinic is, You were born to be healthy, and as you will see in the following pages, chelation therapy helps to remove a key impediment to the natural process of healing from many diseases for many patients.

Introduction

I n this book, you will hear from some of the nations leading chelation practitioners and their patients, who have experienced the therapy, which removes heavy metals from the tissue where they can reside for decades. Unless otherwise noted, all of their comments were told directly to me. Although everyone interviewed agreed to participate under their full names, to protect the patients privacy were only using their first name and last name initial. Chelations practitioners uniformly stress that it is just part of a holistic treatment program, because achieving and maintaining good health goes beyond any one therapy, no matter how vital it is.

I owe the doctors and patients I interviewed an enormous debt of gratitude for candidly sharing with me their stories and resources. Like me, Im sure they hope that the information on these pages will open your eyes to the health risks associated with even low-level heavy-metal contamination, and how chelation can help restore vitality to your body. After all, its the only body youve got, and youre going to need it for a while.

CHAPTER 1

Meet Dr. Lamas

I n some ways, the story of chelation is a mystery. For how can a therapy that has profoundly helped thousands upon thousands of peoplemany with hopeless health problemsbe continuously and vehemently condemned by the conventional medical establishment?

Chelations unique ability to remove heavy metals from the body offers holistic health benefits because these toxic substances contribute to the cell dysfunction that lies at the root of all degenerative diseases. And the success of chelation therapy has been well-documented for nearly seventy years. This includes relieving chest pain from heart disease, improving vision in people with macular degeneration, cutting through the fog of dementia, bringing the gangrenous limbs of diabetics back to life, helping to banish cancer and more. Yet chelation is still routinely branded as dangerous and ineffective, despite massive evidence to the contrary.
