FDA warns companies promoting products used in chelation procedures

Washington Post Staff Writer, Friday, October 15, 2010
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...101406962.html

Federal health officials on Thursday announced a crackdown on a controversial therapy widely hawked on the Internet and elsewhere as an alternative treatment for conditions such as autism, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease by "cleansing" the body.

The Food and Drug Administration said it has sent warning letters to several companies notifying them that the substances they sell without a prescription for a procedure known as "chelation" are "unapproved drugs and devices," which makes them illegal.
