I am sooooooo happy to report that the Food and Drug Administration has announced that there is no evidence that any non prescription chelation products actually rid the body of toxic metals nor are they useful in the treatment of any diseases.

Prescription chelation products for problems like iron overload or lead poisoning have long been recognized as appropriate treatments for these conditions. The non prescription products are not known to treat any conditions or diseases though they are claimed to be miracle cures for everything by some.

Chelation has long been tauted by many alternative practitioners to treat many conditions however the one treated most effectively is the practitioner’s empty back pocket. They seem to work well for that problem since patients must pay cash as the treatments aren’t recognized by most third party payers.

The FDA warned eight different companies to stop selling their products and that making unsubstantiated claims about the products is a violation of federal law. I guess it’s OK for practitioners to make unsubstantiated claims about the usefulness of chelation. bjmdjd
