Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity while fresh water or tap water may be said to be a modest conductor and salt water has a much higher conductivity than fresh wate â¦ r. The electrical conductivity of water, both pure water and water with dissolved salts, is simpler to measure than to explain.
Chelation therapy is a chemical process in which a synthetic solution-EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)-is injected into the bloodstream to remove heavy metals and/or minerals from the body. Chelation means to grab or to bind.. When EDTA is injected into the veins, it grabs heavy metals and minerals such as lead, mercury, copper, iron, arsenic, aluminum, and calcium and removes them from the body. Except as a treatment for lead poisoning, chelation therapy is controversial and unproved.
