Calcium is a vital element for the human body. Not only is calcium a
component of bones, it is a crucial part of the machinery that runs the
heart's intrinsic pacemaker,

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering what the mechanisim might be.

Yes, he's saying that EDTA shouldn't be used, even for heavy metal
posining,
since it stops the heart. The millions of infusions of EDTA that didn't
kill anyone were statistical outliers and should be excluded to keep this
sample at one.

A few medical abstracts - enjoy.

I don't doubt that it has valid uses. Context is everything.
