EDTA Differences Ignored by Dr. Barrett et Al.

I am a longtime ACAM physician and chelation enthusiast, and I used to subscribe to the Townsend Letter. and I recently read Dr. Collin’s article about the Wisconsin physician (Dr. Kadile, circa 2003) who was being bullied by the “medical experts” in a ruling seeking to separate him from his license (eventually). I am not a lawyer, and I am only 10 years late in coming, but the whole medical board ruling should have been set aside because of blatant ignorance by the board concerning the FDA approval of EDTA. From the FDA’s own website, disodium EDTA is FDA approved for reduction in serum calcium in cases of hypercalcemia, certain cases of cardiac arrhythmia due to digitalis toxicity, and heavy metal toxicity such as due to lead. The Wisconsin board repeatedly stated, in their complaint and ruling against the doctor, that calcium EDTA was approved for all of the above. Most chelating physicians use magnesium disodium EDTA, which, in many professional opinions, is safer than calcium EDTA in that there is much less hypocalcemic tetany in our offices during or following a typical patient IV treatment (if one is using ACAM international protocol). If the Wisconsin medical board choose to practice medicine, and I do mean practice, and they do not even know the FDA approvals for two such medications, how on God’s Green Earth can anyone trust them to know anything about the thousands of other medications used by physicians and hospitals all over the state of Wisconsin. The Bolsheviks have clearly taken over Madison! And, by the way, I hope that Dr. Kadile was exonerated after the “error” was discovered and the ruling totally vacated.
