Aspies For Freedom

No Joke! When not being injected into autistic people in the name of chelation, EDTA has a host of other uses. One of my favourites is  Four Paws Petdental Natural Toothpaste for Dogs Pet Care paste (see below).

It wont cure autism, but it could dye our hair a nice shade of blonde! :evil:

EDTA is often an ingredient in bottled salad dressings.

http://www.wholefoods.com/healthinfo/edta.html

"anticoagulant of blood"   could cause internal bleeding or excessive bleeding or bruising when injured.

"EDTA does not readily biodegrade and, once introduced into the general environment, can re-dissolve toxic heavy metals trapped in underwater sediments-allowing them to reenter the food chain."  If their theory is correct that mercury does cause autism unless they get their kids to pee in toxic waste dumps, they are causing more pollution with all their chelated heavy metals.  ???  



It is not supposed to be toxic in the concentrations found in foods but I should look up the LD 50 for ingestion.  

here it is:  http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/ED/EDTA.html


IVN-MUS LD50 28.5 mg kg-1  
IPR-MUS LD50 250 mg kg-1
IPR-RAT LD50 397 mg kg-1
ORL-MUS LD50 30 mg kg-1


IVN-MUS LD50 28.5 mg kg-1   means an intovenous injection of 28.5 mg per kg of body weight will kill half the population of mice tortured.

So what is the dose people are using when they do chelation therapy?

Hey is'nt everything toxic if enough of the substance in ingested? Never heard of anyone dying from lettuce overdose, but it can happen.

At least we get some choices. Better than those who are under the *care* of ignorants. But it does not let us off the hook. there are probably lots of substances that we take in that are harmful and because of our own lack of information we do not choose.

Like stuff floating about in the air and water. Strange additives in products we buy. extra bits and pieces in our clothing. information taken in through our eyes and ears, like Media sensationalisations.

All that junk mail. Remember we can choose what our bodies take in and also put out.
merry merry and all that
