Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Burg

takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

I wanted to do a video on something called EDTA and what it's good for.

Now I'm not going to even tell you what EDTA stands for.

It's this long chemistry name that you really don't even need to know, but here's what

you should know.

EDTA is a key letter.

It's a metal key letter.

What does that mean?

The word key letter comes from the word claw.

So when you key letter, you're actually buying with a metal and you pull it out.

So EDTA helps pull out certain metals and minerals out from the body and it's also good

for getting rid of mercury and lead poisoning.

So if you have too much calcium, for example, or iron, it can help pull those out.

But the problem is it pulls out other minerals too, like magnesium, zinc and many other minerals.

So you have to make sure that you're putting back in the minerals that you need while

you're pulling out the minerals that you have too much of.

Because most of the symptoms related to EDTA relate to a zinc deficiency.

So as long as you're putting some of these minerals back into the body, you won't have

the symptoms.

But some side effects could be arrhythmias because it's pulling out magnesium and potassium,

hypocalcemia.
