I tried EDTA a few months back. Even though I am under 30 years old, after using it for about a month and a half - I realized that I could climb stairs two steps at a time without any burning sensation in my legs. The huff and puff was still there, but lessened moderately.
I used DrNatura.com's ToxinOut.
Frankly, I dont like the look of Cardio Renew - pure EDTA isnt a really good idea. It binds to a lot of stuff - Zinc, Calcium etc etc that your body could use. Most EDTA products therefore are bundled with other nutrients.
I also read a book by Andrew Cutler Ph.D who advocates Alpha Lipoic acid as a form of chelation, in a dosage of every 3 hours for 3 days, then a week off. The reason being that if you take it, or any chelation product - just once a day, the blood level drops and much of the heavy metals gets redeposited, which can, in the short and medium run be worse because it could be deposited in a more dangerous place in your body.
Makes sense. (Note his book is quite disorganized, but there are long discussions in yahoo groups about it. Some of the research seems like its right out of a spy novel, the original research being in Russian, and almost unknown even in the few Western Medical circles that accept Chelation as valid.)
Another partially EDTA based product is OralChelation.com. A few years back, I had long email discussions with the proprietor/author - Karl Loren. I trust his honesty completely. We had a bad disagreement later on, and I havent talked to him for years (and wont) but I still trust his character.
That being said, Andrew Cutler says Cysteine based products (like Karl's is partially) arent good because cysteine has a single thiol bond, and therefore doesnt bind the heavy metals tightly, so before it comes out, it goes through a roller-coaster in your body causing a lot of damage.
For 95% of people, it doesnt really matter that much which you take - but if you're one of those severely mercury poisoned folk for instance - following the Cutler protocol might be the only way.
