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.
The Bottom Line. Chelation therapy is a treatment for heavy metal poisoning: iron, mercury, arsenic, and lead. Some people give chelation therapy for other conditions such as cardiovascular disease, autism, and Alzheimer's. This exposes patients to risks without benefit.helation therapy as a treatment for autism is based on the erroneous belief that mercury in childhood vaccines is a cause of autism. This belief arose when it was noted that 1) the number of cases of autism was growing and 2) the number of recommended childhood vaccines was increasing.
