Hi Mr Moreless
Thanks for your answer.
Now what about lead poisoning?
From your answer

For it takes Acids to Release the Energy from Alkaline Metals and if there is enough Calcium and Magnesium Alkaline Minerals available to react against these Acids, then the Heavy Metals may not get a chance to react with the Acids and Cause problems?

In the case that lead is already present in various part of the body (lead poisoning from old water conduct, from car polution ...) and that we want to remove it. Does the body have the ability to remove it without EDTA chelation? Probably yes but how? By a similar chelation process to the one generated by the EDTA? Much slower one?
From your answer should I understand that wherever the lead is in the body internally, it will not be a problem as long as it will not combine with an acid? It seems to me that it is almost an impossible task.

Ninety Percent Reduction in Cancer Mortality after Chelation Therapy With EDTA
Walter Blumer, M.D. and Elmer Cranton, M.D.
ABSTRACT: Mortality from cancer was reduced 90% during an 18-year follow-up of 59 patients treated with Calcium-EDTA. Only one of 59 treated patients (1.7%) died of cancer while 30 of 172 non treated control subjects (17.6%) died of cancer (P=0.002). Death from artherosclerosis was also reduced. Treated patients had no evidence of cancer at the time of entry into this study. Observations relate only to long-term prevention of death from malignant disease, if chelation therapy is begun before clinical evidence of cancer occurs. Control and treated patients lived in the same neighborhood, adjacent to a heavyily traveled highway in a small Swiss city. Both groups were exposed to the same amount of lead from automobile exhaust, industrial pollution and other carcinogens. Exposure to carcinogens was no greater for the studied population than exists in most other metropolitan areas throughout the world. Statistical analysis showed EDTA chelation therapy to be the only significant difference between controls and treated patients to explain the marked reduction in cancer mortality.
Edta is well recognized as a therapy for lead toxicity. EDTA also removes other toxic heavy metals and nutritional elements such as iron which promote cancer by catalyzing free radical pathology.
Lead from automobile exhausts, petrochemicals form wear of automobile tires, cadmium, and other carcinogens are present in higher concentrations adjacent to heavily traveled automobile highways. These substances cause cancer and potentate other carcinogens.

Abstract
Gout secondary to lead-induced nephropathy is a long-term complication of occupational lead exposure. We report a case of this now-rare condition. The patient was a 63-year-old man who had been a miner from 1950 to 1970. Thirty years after cessation of his exposure to lead, he experienced onset of inflammatory symmetric polyarthritis with joint deformities. Hyperuricemia, moderately severe renal failure, and tubular acidosis were found, indicating gouty polyarthritis. Blood lead levels were high, establishing that the cause was lead poisoning. EDTA chelation therapy was effective.
Lead poisoning is frequently under-recognized because the clinical manifestations are often minimal and the diagnosis difficult to establish. We suggest that lead bound to bone may result in continued exposure to lead after cessation of industrial or environmental exposure. Chelating agents are valuable for the diagnosis and can ensure a full recovery.
