This book is a must for anyone who is breathing the air, eating the food, and drinking the water on this incredibly polluted planet. For those who are no longer able to breathe, eat and drink, this book is unfortunately too late. Although we can not seem to stop the merciless polluters, or activate the slow-to-respond governments at this point in time, this book offers a powerful way for us to protect ourselves from the all-encompassing pollution, that is poisoning our enzyme systemsso that we can not heal or repair, depleting brain function in everyone, contributing mightily to autism, depleting our ATP energy production systems, accelerating the aging process, and ultimately our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual joy in life. Chelation is not only a reasonable self-defense or nice prevention idea; it is a must for the survival of our endangered human species.

Are you concerned about the heavy metal toxicity that you are guaranteed to have simply by living on polluted planet Earth? Do you have any chronic degenerative illnesses? Have you been misled by your conventional doctor about chelation therapy? Has even your alternative doctor discouraged the use and effectiveness of oral chelation therapy? Are you ready for an easy to read and understand treatise on perhaps the simplest thing you can do to enhance your health and protect against degenerative disease (other than a pristine diet)? Are you interested in an inexpensive yet effective alternative to intravenous treatments for heavy metal toxicity? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this book is indispensible. The authors dramatically and accurately (with references) educate you on a totally neglected (by conventional medicine) cause of disease affecting 100% of the earths inhabitants to one extent or another. Even better, they provide information on affordable remedies.
There are only three major causes of disease: malnutrition, stress and toxins. This book does a better job at addressing a most serious cause of universal toxicity than any publication in the field. This is a must read book for lay people and health professionals alike who have any interest in preventing disease and treating the cause, not the symptoms.
