Chelation warning
October 15, 2010
THE US Food and Drug Authority
has issued a warning letter to the
manufacturers of eight over-the
counter chelation products
regarding unproven claims.
According to the FDA the
companies are promoting the
chelation drugs and devices with a
range of unproven claims, including
that they can remove toxic metals
from the body, treat autism
spectrum disorder, cardiovascular
diseases, Parkinson’s disease,
Alzheimer’s disease, macular
degeneration, and other “serious
conditions”.
Despite the claims, the FDA has
said that chelation products
involved have not been approved
for OTC use in the US and are in
violation of the US the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
“These products are dangerously
misleading because they are
targeted to patients with serious
conditions and limited treatment
options,” said Deborah Autor,
director of the Office of
Compliance in the FDA’s Center for
Drug Evaluation and Research.
“The FDA must take a firm stand
against companies who prey on
the vulnerability of patients seeking
hope and relief,” she added.
