 Chelation Watch
Le traitement par chélation est une série de perfusions intraveineuses contenant de l'EDTA et diverses autres substances. On prétend à tort qu'il est efficace contre les maladies cardiovasculaires, l'autisme et de nombreuses autres maladies et affections. Parce que la chélation a une utilisation valide dans certains cas d'intoxication par les métaux lourds, de nombreux praticiens diagnostiquent faussement la toxicité du plomb, du mercure ou d'autres métaux lourds pour tromper les patients à subir une chélation. Ce site Web explique pourquoi les médecins qui préconisent l'utilisation générale du traitement par chélation devraient être évités. |
