* Other Plants : Practically all plants produce sugars, amino acids, vitamins, such as vitamin C, and even fats that act as effective chelators, but some produce more so than others. Potatoes and lima beans produce a notable amount of L-lysine; onion, lentils and other beans produce L-methionine in good quantities as well. Also, herbs such as yellow dock root are effective against heavy metals like aluminum and mercury. Hibiscus, amla (i.e. Indian gooseberry), sheep sorrel and other plants high in vitamin C have a natural chelation effect on heavy metals too.
* Clay and Water as Natural Chelating Agents : Over any chelator found in plants and animals, some of most effective chelating agents on Earth can found in the soil we trample on and the water we drink. Clay (i.e. bentonite and kaolin) and water function amazingly well as natural chelators. In regards to clay and water, quality and purity are critical for natural chelation and detoxification of heavy metal. Any contaminated clays and water will only introduce additional metals and other toxins into the body. In this case, bentonite clay and distilled and / or ionized water are highly recommended for chelation therapy.
* == List of chealting Agents == Other Chelating agents : In regards to effective chelating agents in nature, we have an abundance of natural resources to draw from when creating our own homemade chelation regime for a healthy, restorative lifestyle. Even a daily dose of raw apple cider vinegar (i.e. acetic acid, a weaker chelator than EDTA) is excellent for a daily natural chelation regime to remove heavy metals from our body. Our ancestors have been utilizing nature’s own chelation therapy for thousands of years for health and longevity; so should you.
