Quite clearly, it is beyond
the means of most people to compile a collection of nutrients
which would meet these precise requirements. The particular formula
given above is available in the USA from health stores. Anyone
trying to put together an approximation of this suggested pattern
could ask for assistance from a health store assistant who would
doubtless with a little effort, be able to combine a number of
standard formulations and individual items towards this end.
It must be said that the combination
put together by Dr Donsbach seems heroic in its complexity and
although he explains precisely why each item is included, there
remains a faint suggestion of 'shotgun' supplementation
in which the more things thrown together the greater the chance
that something might do some good. The author provides this formulation
as a matter of accuracy rather than as a strongly recommended
course. My preference would be for something along the lines of
Dr Rinse's formulation or the using of individual nutrient supplementation
as outlined in Chapter 8.
Before we examine the use
of oral EDTA, a reminder is in order at this point of the value
of exercise as a chelation generating method. It is clear from
Nathan Pritikin's work (Pritikin, 1980) that a combination of
diet and exercise can do as much as chelation therapy in normalizing
circulatory dysfunction; and remember that without attention to
these areas chelation therapy will produce results which will
not be sustained.
