Every day, we are exposed to a multitude of pollutants and toxins, causing our bodies to unknowingly absorb them. These include chemical toxins, such as those from food additives (including color, flavor, and preservatives), seasoning powders, cosmetics like shampoo, hair dye, lipstick, nail polish, and modern medications.

Toxic substances from heavy metals, such as vehicle exhaust fumes, industrial factory emissions, insecticides, lead, and other heavy metals.

Formalin toxins can come from such foods as frozen seafood, vegetables and fruits that are sprayed with preservative to remain fresh, plastics from take-away containers. When the body accumulates a lot of toxins it causes the body to produce free radicals that adversely affect the body’s functioning systems, resulting in health problems. Detoxifying the blood vessels with chelation is another method that can help your health return to full strength.

EDTA plays an important role in flushing out toxins and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, or even excess calcium in the body that is left in tissues and deposits on blood vessel walls. It can detect heavy metals in the blood. First, to plan a detoxification plan with chelation ( Chelation ) and then eliminate it through urine.
